Mail app DATA hungry - HTC One X+

Could someone PLEASE explain how did this happen with only my hotmail account synced on the Telus unlocked one x+. I only have 6GB/month and I still didn't get my bill, I'm kinda afraid at 0,05$/mb over usage. Really disappointed by HTC. Phone is not even rooted, only SIM unlocked

If you got sync turned on 24/7 then believe it or not, it checks for new emails every so often and so data gets wasted! :good:
Try to turn off syncing and ONLY sync manually and that should fix your data issue

I use gmail and it doesn't appear to use much data at all. With Telus if your worried about going over you can login to your account online and check how much data you have used for the month, its front and centre when you log in. What I do if I notice I'm approaching my limit go to the addon part of your plan online and scroll to the bottom and add a data service block which will basically disable all data for your phone until you go back in and remove it. It's effective almost immediately too.

Where did you find that data usage screen??
Never mind I found it

Also just hit *3282# and you will get usage in a text right away but I would take it to the store and have them remove that and say something is wrong with the phone before the bill even comes

Me too!!
I am SO SO happy someone else out there has the same problem - now I can contact HTC support whi say they never heard of it and let them know!
My phone has never had an issue until 4 days ago, when it downloaded 4.4GB over cellular and 4,9GB over wifi - all attributed to the HTC Sense Mail App. It has to be a bug!!
I have an open ticket ith HTC support, to whom I 've sent screenshots of the data usage, proving it was their mail app consuming the data (both using stock usage monitor and also Avast network monitor). Still yet to get any real feedback apart from that it's being investigated and has been elevated to management... All the while, I am responsible for the data usage on my network (UK Voda), so have asked them to disconnect my data tariff, and also alerted my braodband supplier as I've exceeded their fair usage poilcy and will get charged by them too!
*sigh*

You can prevent that by disabling the background data for the mail app. I've done that since then to prevent it of happening again.

HTC support answer
So - in my case, the response fro HTC was the following:
"Dear ,
As the android version on your device does not contain full fallback support to EAS protocol versions below 12.0 it can manifest unpredictable behaviour. This is a software compatibility issue and the recommended solution is to update your Exchange server to a current version."
So - if you're company is running Exchange server 2003, it turns out the HTC's software is not compatible. This is not advertised anywhere! As I'm sure you'll all agree, it's not a response that my company have to upgrade our exchange server to ensure this won't happen again! All my other devices were connected to the same exchange at the same time and didn't experience any problems (Transformer Prime - Stock Jellybean, iPhone 5 (crappy iOS6), Win 7 PC).
Now I'm stuck with my primary device not being able to connect to my primary email account!!!!

Successfully made phone call with flyer[7/10 not dev devices]

Someone in Taiwan successfully made phone call with flyer.
There's a youtube video and a thread opened in Mobile01, but not yet are there any details on how it is done
Just happy to know it is achievable

7/10 not dev devices , some stores can do s-on to s-off , for a price of NT1380 (US48)
it needs a s-off flyer..
so no hope for now
yes, I just saw that on "flyer android development"
so some people just happen to get a s-off flyer, randomly?
(sorry if the question is dumb, these root and s-off thing are new to me)

I totally agree with you! I believe people just bluffing....just to make us jealous, cause our devices are not able to do what their devices does.....
C'Mon we want phone call option
Proof is in the YouTube videos. Also note the previous posts about s-off devices which are rootable and allow changes to the system files. If I had a s-off device, I'd start by comparing the dialer file size.
I'm still on the fence whether I would use the device as a phone... I guess if I'm paying for a data plan and it includes voice. But I've only got the WiFi version.
If you use a third party process viewer (i.e. Astro File Manager), there is a Phone app using memory. Opening the app takes you to the familiar phone settings tab... Which allows you to configure Internet calling. Maybe more with a CDMA or GSM capable radio.... Which i don't have.
GrooveIP
I was able to get my HTC Flyer to work as phone with Google Voice using GrooveIP. GrooveIP is available from the Android Market. Once you install it, it will asks you to enter your Google Voice phone number (you can get one for free when you apply for Google voice). Then connect. That's it. I was able to make US and International calls. I am not sure if they are charging me via my Google Voice account, but I will check. Note, you will need Internet connection (WiFi or Sprint View 4G...I have a HTC Flyer with WiFi only connected via WiFi to my Verizon FIOS wireless router).
I also got Pdanet Tablet (beta) to work with my Sprint EVO 4G phone via Bluetooth tethering. So, I believe my tablet has full-time phone functionality as long as I am connected to my Sprint EVO 4G phone.

Media Net Plan with AT&T problem

I have a problem with my internet on my sg2, A couple weeks ago before I got my sg2 I had bought an matrix and put my sim in it. So their system registered that phone and gave me the 4g plan, I wasn't aware of it until I got my bill. I thought I was using the media net. I got it changed back to the media net again but now my phone doesn't get internet data. Does anyone know why and how can I fix it

on a different note, does S2 get recognized as smartphone with ATT?
Recently, HTC caved in and gave ATT IMEIs of all HTC HD2 and now everyone is getting switched to smartphone plans. I wonder for how long will Galaxy S2 be able to fly under the radar. It's only a matter of few weeks when ATT will get that list from Samsung and all these S2s will hit craigslist and ebay. Nokia remains a safe bet and doesn't have their eggs in ATT basket.

Login to OLAM and you see a pic of the smartphone and next you see a $25 smartphone plan they slapped on you that you can't remove. Actually, my 1st post was more of fear mongering. S2 (euro) will probably never get to ATT. ATT has all T-mo IMEIs, all Nexus 1 with ATT 3g bands, and all HD2. I read it somewhere. So, they are definitely trying to get their hands on smartphone IMEIs (?). We need some conclusive input from ATT reps, because 600 is too much to drop on a phone knowing that it might get picked up by ATT.
I called att and they still show me having a razor. They tried trouble shooting it and was unable to resolve it. They were going to transfer me to a level 2 aupport but the rep came back on the line saying that the weat coast was having some technical difficulties so maybe that's why it wasn't workiing.

Finally I have found others with the same issue.
I have recently switched to T mobile UK mainly for the unlimited data and the lack of it on o2. I have got 2 galaxy s3's one is for my girlfriend. Both of which are missing the update option in about phone. I noticed this straight away and contacted t mobile. The first 2 calls went nowhere and was told Samsung don't do OTA updates and it's only via kies, the 1st call I was told I need kies air! I knew the ota part was not true and on my third call I got through to someone that cared. But had not heard of this issue, I have given them my build number and csc etc and they are speaking to relative departments in t mobile and Samsung, I mentioned it had to be t mobile that have disabled ethos option and that other t mobile users have this option and have had the small update. Via kies it says it's up to date on le4 firmware. T mobile have extended my dsr period until they get to the bottom of the issue, but I am concerned as it's been 2 weeks now with no real progress and I have not even taken the phone out of the house or transferred my old number encased of returning or replacing the handsets.
I see not having the ota update option as quite a big disadvantage, especially with how unstable kies seems to be.
Please could you with and without the option let me know if your phone was from t mobile or 3rd party and wether it was through a store or the website as they have asked me this and should help me sort this out.
Thanks in advance

I believe it was a case of getting units out to the public some got missed. I'm on orange and don't have the option but others on orange do.
I was a annoyed about this at first but after a searching and reading I'm actually not bothered.
The reason is when Samsung release and update it will be available straight away through kies ( I've not had any issues with kies) , waiting for the networks to get that updated then playing about with it and adding bloatware and taking out things will a) take forever and b) be ruined, from experience orange are the worst at this and as they are all one company now t mobile will be no better.
IMHO.

Hi Motogp1,
I get what you are saying but surely even if we had this option it would still also be possible to update via kies.
Have you already had an update? As I have not and although it's a small update , it is reported to free up some ram and on my last phone it massively cut down battery usage.
With regards to kies, I had to install and uninstall it 5 times before it finally worked and now it works (kind of) but I get a "server busy" error message every time I start my pc. I checked in task manager and it was kies causing it.
It just does not sit right with me, as you are effectively paying full price for the phone over the contract. If I had £500 I would have got the phone swim free and gone sim only with t mobile.
Never had any of them problems with kies and I connect without fail every time. My point Is the update from T mobile will be a long way behind kies and full of there bloatware.
It doesn't really bother me as I'd prefer to go through kies than orange/t mobile.
I think it's personal choice, plenty of people have returned there phone and got another one for this reason so if if really not happy send it back.

Did you have an iphone before this, or have you put your sim card in an iphone? I know that there is a problem where imessage can kick in and cause problems. Also ask your friends if they have iphones and if they do, then have them go into message settings and make sure they have the toggle "use sms when imessage not available" clicked.
I have a spare iphone 4s and I put the sim from my old galaxy s3 in it and it caused a world of hurt on my texts. I had to go in and turn off imessage on the iphone even though I had removed the sim and never put it back. Hope this helps.
One of them has a iphone the other doesn't. AT&T had me turn off my imessage when I got this phone. It just started out if the blue. Pretty much just the last two days. Didn't know if it was because I don't ever delete any old messages or well anything. Lol. Very frustrating though. Lol.

For those having trouble, let me post my experience so that it may help someone. I'm a corporate client, my law firm has about twelve phones under the account. Since this is a family firm, we steal each others upgrades all the time, usually someone is breaking their phone and not due an upgrade, so they take someone else's. So when I upgraded, even though I was eligible, my uncle had nabbed my upgrade back in october. So I, in turn, grabbed my cousin's upgrade. The problem here is that I am the only android user. Somehow att screwed up our account when I upgraded and suddenly I couldn't get texts from the people in my office on iphones. Eventually our I.T. guy called att and straightened it out. I say all that to say that if you haven't modded your apn, sms app, or anything else and are having issues, it is most likely on att.
Have you gone into settings within messages and then mms settings and checked auto-retrieve and set max message size to 1000k?

I'm having same issue as OP. Will receive small blank box messages. Clicking on it opens a blank slideshow instead of a picture. Saving the attachment just saves a blank image. From the same sender, sometimes pictures go through, other times they arrive blank. This is from an android user. I didn't have this issue on my previous phone.
MMS set to auto retrieve and 1000K limit.
Having the same issue as well, ever since the M7. It mainly happens from a couple people who both use iPhones.
Hate jumping on the bandwagon, but I'm having this issue too, and mostly from iPhone users, but not all iPhone users. It's really strange. Sometimes saving the image works, other times it doesn't.
I had it too... I called HTC... They walked me through the expected steps and after a few tries, airplane mode, turned off Wi-Fi, removed and reinstalled Sim card... Restarted phone... Finally worked now... I can get the pics from my husband's iPhone now

I am having the same issue as the OP but the person sending is not an iPhone user, rather another person on a HTC m8. Only difference from me is he is on Sprint and I'm Att. I can send to him with no issues, he can't send to me unless he crops the shots. Also, he has never had an iPhone. He also can send to others with no problems. I'm the only person he knows with the M8.
Ive had this happen with people on verizon,cricket(sprint third party)....not sure why it happens,maybe when switching across networks something screws up, when an mms pic comes through like that and there is indeed a picture, you can click on the little box and will be given an option to save the picture and it will save to your downloads folder.It is only random but only happens from people on cdma carrier networks sending to me,which leads me to believe its partly a network issue as well as a phone issue possibly.
Any fix for this yet?

Trouble reconnecting to network

I live in NYC, and commute to work everyday by subway. There is no service in the subway, so naturally I lose service. The problem is once I get out from the subway, my S5 does not automatically reconnect to network. What's worse is that in my status bar it shows as connected to 4G, however I cannot make/receive calls, send/receive texts, or connect to the internet. The only way to fix this is to go into airplane mode and come back out of it or to restart my phone. Is anyone else experiencing issues automatically reconnecting to the t mobile network? I am a new to t mobile since mid april, so I'm not sure if this is a network issue or a phone issue...
Edit: I have already received a replacement S5 and a replacement sim card, and the issue is persisting

no one else is experiencing this issue? It happens to me at least once a day...
It happens often to me as well, it's not a huge problem normally but it is quite annoying sometimes. Thankfully it's actually fast to turn on/off airplane mode.
It happens just as you describe too, it says I am connected to 4G and such but if I attempt to refresh any service I'm told I need to connect.

I have been thru 3 S5's and have done a few factory resets, and the problem persisted. They just let me exchange for a M8 in store, so that's that. If this issue would bother you, then don't get a S5.

Oh, it would drive me nuts. Thanks for saving me $50 in restocking fees. The M8 is a bit too big for me otherwise that would be a instabuy.
I was having similar issues and yesterday i went to the T-Mobile store and told them about it. They said it was because i had an isis sim card. They replaced it with a non isis sim and so far so good.
