    Android OS using high amounts of data via wifi? 184mbs!

    Noticed today on my wifi logs, that the program "Android OS" has used 184mbs of data in the last month. My previous four months have all read less than a mb, or at most, five mb's for January to February. Why the sudden jump up to 184mb? I've not downloaded anything specific and besides, the...

    Strange application used wifi data network? application name 65536?

    Noticed this today in my wifi data usage for the last month. A program, using an Android thumbnail, called 65536 used 456 Bytes of network connection, without a clue as to what it is, given the name. Can anyone shed any light? Is it a virus? I've run both an AVG and avast scan and found...

    Over the top App Permissions?

    I've read a few topics on this, and understand that most of these permissions are for the apps general performance, i.e Telling it when you have a phone call so it can quit the game. But I am still concerned, as that specific permission "Allow phone to see call state, etc" can be used to tell...

    Anyone had problems with dead pixels?

    I've got two on my new One V, and I'm not sure at the risk of replacing it. One is right near the bottom of the screen, very minor and not a major deal. The real pain is one that is in the middle of the screen, just to the right hand side, and shows up frequently in menus and the likes. It looks...

    Android phone not displaying MMS?

    A friend sent me a message today containing a picture, and instead of getting the message I got a link directing me to my phone providers website, where I had to log in to view his text and the picture. Is there a reason that this happens, have I got a setting disabled incorrectly?

    HTC Desire, Screen cracking on it's own

    As the question asks, have you had your Desires screen crack on its own when just left sitting on your desk, or on charge, etc? Ideally if you can check the right poll option depending on whether you have an AMOLED screen or the new SLCD screen, as I'm wondering if that factors into it.

    HTC Desire with SLCD screen?

    I'm getting a Desire soon, and I've heard they now make them with a SLCD screen over LED. I've looked at reviews of both, and it's hard to tell which is better. SLCD is sharper, but sharper can look grainy, it's less vibrant than the LED, etc. Ideally I'm looking for opinions from people who...

    HTC Desire, best service provider, UK?

    I'm looking for the best service provider for the HTC desire in the UK. I really want to get it from someone who wont brand the case with their logo, or fill the phone up with unwanted advertisements from them, etc. I've heard terrible things about orange. Is this still the case? My current...

    Phone contract advice?

    Hey there, I'm currently looking at getting the HTC desire, and I'm trying to work out if I need a phone contract or not. Trying to work out the best deal for me, and so far, i'm having difficulty. I'l start by saying, I don't use a phone much. I don't make anywhere near 500 minutes of calls...

    Internet access App question?

    Out of interest how many apps require internet access to work, and will not work without it? I plan on getting an android phone but not on contract, and worry that I won't be able to use any apps outside of a wifi area, due to me not having monthly internet usage allowances, and I figure the pay...

    phone, firmware changing?

    I'm told changing the firmware on your phone removes stuff like network bloatware, or does it enable you to update to the lastest phone software? Is it hard to do, and if I do it will it void my phone warranty with the company I got it from? I.e, if the phone has a minor fault and I want to...

    HTC Desire on O2 network

    I'm wondering, do O2 put a load of rubbish on the phone if it's on their network? I.e, O2 logos on the case, a load of rubbish programs and stuff you can't remove and so forth, or is it just plain sailing?

    Can you turn off GPRS access?

    I'm getting the desire on pay as you go and while I will use GPRS for apps when out and for browsing, I'd rather not have it on 24/7 draining my wallet. Can the GPRS access be turned on and off when you want it, or is it always on?

    How many apps require internet access?

    AS per the question, how many of the HTC apps require you to be online to do anything? Like are they all weather, sat nav, or use the internet to show you locations, and such? I'm just wondering how many apps will require me to use GPRS when outside of a wifi zone, which would be quite a lot...

    contract or pay as you go?

    I can't decide if I want to get a pay as you go deal or acontract. I don't think I use my phone anywhere near enough to get a contract, but then I see pay as you go charge 20p per mb for internet browsing via GPRS. I'm wondering is that over the top? How many mb's do you reckon you use on GPRS...

    Concerns about the Desire before buying

    I've been looking at getting the HTC desire, but I have concerns on how fragile the screens are, hearing less than a one foot drop can crack a screen. I've also heard how the screens can crack when charging the phone while it's turned on, surely that's not right? Are the screens this fragile...
