Quick Question on GPRS Weather Update in WM6 (HTC Home) - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading

Can someone tell me how much traffic a weatherupdate needs via GPRS?
'Cause I have to pay 2 € (little less than 3 $) per MB of GPRS....so I'd like to know how much this (very very nice) feature will cost me
thxal & TIA

Hi there
As far as i know, it downloads sopmething like 10 - 20 KB per update, wich is not much at all!
Hope this helps!
(In South Africa we pay R 2.00 p/m, so i know, because i also check my traffic!)

ok sounds good...so i can get like 50 updates a month for 2€...that's really not bad...
Is there a way to check my traffic?
thx you guys...damn I love this place

I use a great program called SPB GPRS monitor, but its commercial.
Works out everything, costs p/meg and keeps logs of it. And has a nice today plugin aswell.

Cheers mate

super! thx dude!

hey there!
New Problem....or better...now it is a problem....I can connect to GPRS (Full reception) but htc home can't download any information for my city...so i tried a diff. one...like NY...also didn't work....and Vienna / Austria (the one I want) also doesn't.
All it says is: "Unable to download information for your city. Please try again."
HELP!
TIA

You can use BatteryStatus, too. It has nice daily/monthly traffic counters

hmmm update via the computer (connected via snyc center) works....so maybe it is the GPRS connection....hmm

Internet Data Counter?

Is there any application for the tilt/tytn ll that can count all the KB/MB used on a data connection through 3g/wifi. And that it has a reset counter button?
I ask this because i only have a 5mb data plan and its very pricy per kb if i go over. I need something to keep track on how much i used between the monthly limit.
ThaNKs!!!
anyone? ;p
sounds like a good idea.
look for this program
GPRSMonitor
look for it on google
so i downloaded SpbGPRSMonitor2.arm.cab
I dont get how to use it lol
You can also try HudsonMobile IP Dashboard if it suits your needs.

Go to http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/gprsmonitor/?en
Click on download (not the cab one) and you should get:-
SpbGPRSMonitor2_setup
Open this, let it do its thing and when you next sync, install the cab file to 'device'.
Pdf manual is on the site - program works well and you can set daily limits etc.
Is there an Open Source alternative? or freeware?
Freeware
I found this. Still can't get the data counter to work but it seems like he is working on it. The app seems to be mostly for prepaid calling accounts.

Please let me know if you find anything else.
Thanks

SPB GPRS Monitor came free with my O2 Stellar (and my Trion/Hermes.... and the Wizard).
It has a today plugin and you can set it to monitor a given connection (so all GPRS or just the one used for web access) and it just works. Is really quite cool (unless you get your settings wrong and your MMS is pulled down over the GPRS/Web settings and becomes chargable).
i use batterystatus to count my data and calls and SMS
none of those programs
I don't have anything in my battery status app that indicates data usage. Maybe I have a different rom. Is there a link to this software somewhere? And I have no software cd for my phone.

go to settings>Today>Items>click on Batterystatus and on the right side click options and the call and data counter are in there...just check them
still no data
Thanks for the quick reply.
When I go into the Today -items panel. There is no battery status application, only:
date, owner info, messaging,tasks,calendar, windows live, windows live search, skype, and device lock
I have a battery status on the today screen by default in the bottom right that takes me to the "power" screen.
Thoughts?

BatteryStatus is a Today plug-in - check it out here and here on xda-developers - it is great.
working
thanks guys. got that plugin working and am now tracking my data usage which is perfect as I am heading over to germany tomorrow and don't feel like getting an $800 bill like last time when AT&T overcharged me for data by $600. Now if only I could figure out how to have the phone not use 60k every time I need to check POP mail I would be set.

since i use outlook i can set it to how how big i want each email to be...
outlook and mac
I am a Mac OS X user which is sometimes a bit tough especially in this forum for testing ROM's. I finally got push email working today through a ridiculous combination of forwarding and deleting. I am now on the mail2web exchange server and am attempting to add calendar functionality via some Mac software. this should finally reduce the data usage and I do have it set tot 1k for each message. On the POP access, I think it had to communicate with my mail server a lot. Who knows?
Doesn' seem to work with HTC diamond and manila.

HTC TYTN II on 3 UK

Hey all,
3 have started carrying this and I received mine earlier this week
Have already been through the forums for a few tricks and tips....although I'm pretty sure 3 have done their magic again and they have customised the phone to a large extent.
For example on the home page the 2 buttons at the bottom are Contacts on the left and Planet 3 on the right......guess what I cannot find anywhere to change PLanet 3 to something else LOL
Also in the Comms Mgr the Data Connection option is not available as is the Microsoft Direct Push......both greyd out
If pics are helpful I'll post some later
well...

SoftKey's changer software is not provided with official roms. You should search for an app, which will allow you to change the softkeys.

There is quite a lot of info on the forum and you can easily get lost LOL
I'll check the 2 suggestions though and see how it goes.
I've just tried connecting to the internet as well via my WiFi and when I am using Windows Live (which came with the phone) although connected on WiFi it will still launch GPRS for it...Opera seems to work fine with WiFi

Direct Push only works with a Exchange account. Do you have one configured?

I found a free exchange server, but you must have their @ address. It's preety good and fast... and free. You should search the forum. Somewhere there was thread about push email clients and configurations.
Or you can PM me for that one.

There is an app out there called Key swop, i use it to change the shortcuts at the bottom.
Google is your friend
Regards
Rich
I also have a TyTN 2 on 3 and it have no rebadging at all
My TytnII from 3 arrives tomorrow. I've been looking forward to this for ages and finally they phoned me and offered me an early upgrade yesterday.
Result. Free phone!! Nice. They really don't want you to go to the competition, do they?

spb gprs monitor

Guys help me out, I misplaced the CDs that came in the gorgeous Diamond box.
And as many of you I have Flashed my device with new Kick arse Panoshas.
Now I cant install the spb gprs monitor that came with the CDs.
I know the app is not free, but I "technically" have it.
Can some one hook me up?
If im making a mistake, by asking for software that is not freeware I will erase this thread.
Thanks before hand fellas.
Cheers!
Maybe you could get the CD from your operator?
If you've got a licence key, you can download it from spbsoftwarehouse.com
Personally though, I prefer batterystatus for monitoring data usage, because it does pretty much the same thing, and also monitors phone usage, sms etc.. and a lot more device info (if you're interested)

*BUMP*
Because GPRS Monitor isn't working correctly on Diamond, it keeps forgetting to count the transmitted data.

Which version do you use? I have installed 2.5.1 retail licensed. The program is set to monitor the traffic over my GPRS-connection, and it counts the sent data just fine.
Have fun!
I also use this version, v2.5.1 Build 247, and suddenly it stopped counting the traffic.
I even tried to rename the old data file of GPRS Monitor, so it creates a new one but this doesn't help either. It counted 225 KB of traffic and since then no more counting.
Btw, I looked for BatteryStatus and all sites/projects that I've found don't count anything but just display something.

need discs

hi guys, ive just moved house and i cant find the software discs for my xda!!! does anybody know where i can obtain a set of them?
thanks for your help
tried o2 and ebay and searched the web, any help would be great?
What software discs are you actually looking for? Can't say as i have ever needed anything off the discs that came with my Alpine or Himalaya.
what do you need off the disks? if its activsync just download it from microsoft
OK, FWIW i have found the two CDs that came with my Alpine and will upload them somewhere when i can get ISOs created
cheers guys
thanks for the replys guys, im sorry i took so long to reply but ive been away with the family for a few days...all i was after on the discs was the original software files that came packaged, my discs have grown legs in the move!
just wanting to keep things organised, active sync has been downloaded too!
has anybody tried the bluetooth gps from holox on ebay? 54 channel job?
thanks again for your help and time guys xxx
Having trouble uploading one of the ISOs at the moment, it is at home and i am not and the upload last night died half way through. It is 260Mb and contains Outlook and Active Sync, the other is a lot smaller and contains whatever apps O2 put on it, cant remember and dont have the CD to hand to check. Download it from Adrive
thanks mate will get the download soon as i get home from work tonight, your a star thank you xxx
Here's the other one also on ADrive
Application CD contains:
Fonix_VoiceDial
Zip
TrueFax
SPB GPRS Monitor
This CD conatins
Outlook 2002
ActiveSync 3.7
As i said i haven't used any of the above.

That i can't hep with, sorry, never been a big MMS user. I think the T-Mobile site will send you the settings.
otherwise doing a search in networking forum for "tmobile AND mms" would likely give a result
cheers guys i gave t-mob a call last night and the 5 year old on the other end of the line was no help at all, not a shock but still a fair price for no service eh? right time to dive deep into the forums,
your help has been great, the wife now wants me to get her an xda !!!

That is sad, cause while you are outside your country, roaming is very expensive, even few KB will be charged as 1st MB and etc...
Navigon is nice, cause working with offline connection, but NAVTEQ map's is terrible for my country, would like some GPS app like IGO which can use TELEATLAS maps...
Hi all!
The new 100% offline version of Nokia Drive is finally out!! :-D Anyone had luck finding it? Have been searching my @ss off but no luck... :-(
/Anders
not true... this is only (one month old) rumor but officially not released yet in marketplace
I think you are right :-( Found this article:
http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/03/01/new-maps-drive-and-transport-in-depth/
Oh well patience is the word I guess ;-) At least they are coming with an update! :-D
/Anders
Thanks for Nokia Drive navigation. I test it and it work like a charm
Nokia Drive use online data just to find the destination, once you set your destination it works offline. For destination set it takes just few kb, so it is ok for me, since i have 100Mb for free!
顶。。。。。。
does anyone know what i says ?
Works nicely. Thanks!
EDIT: tested it a little bit. Data connection is only needed when app is determining the route. Even to calculate alternative routes data connection isn't needed.
Maps seem up to date and complete, but Nokia Drive is kind of stubborn: on my way home, I have 2 highways to choose; as I didn't chose the one proposed by Nokia Drive, it was allways suggesting that I take the next exit to turn around. This happened until half the way until home...
New Nokia Drive 2.0.0 is out!
Hi,
The New Nokia Drive 2.0.0.0 - as it says in marketplace - is out.
Full offline navigation, no data conn needed for route planning as i read it on Nokia website.
http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/03/20/nokia-maps-drive-and-transport-updated-for-lumia/
Nokia MAps and Transport is also updated.
I think we all kindly asking a developer to fix it for HD2.
Thanks
it's already fixed by Chinese friends
