sorry for putting this in 2 places - newbie
im a complete newbie to android, ive got a htc desire and ive only had it a week and a half, i do absolutely love it but need help with a couple of things.
im on orange so called unlimited internet but really capped at 500mb, ive downloaded the widget to track usage but the issue is more for when im at work (at home i use my wifi and my battery lasts ok)
however when i go to work i can only get "G" as the internet and my battery goes down super fast but the main prob is my data usage goes mental, i used 23mb over a 24 hour shift even with uninstalling 97% of my apps and switching the mobile internet off, i found it still being used so i turned my phone off, i can see in settings what uses the data and ive uninstalled some but im worried ill get rid of something ill need (i uninstalled orange world and my phone switched itself off!) im worried about using all my MB when im not even near my phone and also kinda annoyed.
do lots of apps eat more data? it feels a little daft to be getting rid of all my apps to save my MB for hotmail and facebook, i liked my apps it seems silly to have to curb them or install them when at home and on my wifi to save data and then uninstall them when i go to work,
i really went through the 211 page manual and tryed turning everything off but my MB usage still got caned.
is there anything that really stops all my MB being consumed? does turning my phone off totally stop it?
sorry for huge long panic rant, i love my phone but dont want a huge bill for going over oranges not unlimited internet
any advice please? thank you
