I recently got a 5230 on a prepaid data contract. I updated it via pc as far as I could. However after a few weeks of using it it seems to download a large amount of data (20MB+) killing my data account? What could this be and how do I stop this?

Am currently in Australia (live in New Zealand) for a couple of weeks and am just a little concerned now that the GPS may be getting some assistance from the local cellular network and don’t want to get home and find a Vodafone bill that equals the current deficit of Great Britain!

View 17 Replies View RelatedCan the Nokia 5230 be used as a GPS Data Logger? What I mean is whether I can use it to AUTOMATICALLY record all the GPS data (position, speed, and altitude, etc.) of a trip which can be later exported to a PC for viwing the route on a map or geocoding the photos. What is the (GPS) Acquisition Rate of this phone?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI found that even if I set Ovi maps to "offline", it still sends and receives packet data while the gps is in use. I started a route and after stopping it, I checked the "Log' and I can see more data send and received recorded. I do not have a data plan and would like to know if I am incurring charges in this case. I have a-gps and gps set, so I'm guessing these packets might be due to a-gps? Without a-gps and with gps alone the performance will be pretty bad, right? I have t-mobo and nokia 5230.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have had two 5230s for various reasons on two different networks. On my current one (t-mobile, uk) I seem to be missing the shortcut to the GPS data application. I've only just noticed this as I had issues with my GPS when abroad and I wanted to check which satellites were or weren't being seen.
I discovered that the application is in fact installed as if I go into the voice commands I can say "GPS data" and the application is displayed. But I seem to have no way to start the app without using the voice command. I know I could try a hard or soft reset, but I'd like to avoid that option at the moment, and it may not even work. Any way to get the "shortcut" re-applied?
I have the following annoyng problem with my new Nokia 5230. After I powerup the phone, in about 30 seconds it starts connecting to internet without having any application running.

I tried to re-download some of them from Ovi Store but Ovi Store seemed to think they were still there and wouldn't let me download them again. Is it as simple as copying the contents of the old card to the new card?

I've done a search and read some previous posts, and cannot work out why my N900 is randomly rebooting.I have manually restarted my phone and checked the boot count is reset to 0
I have attempted doing a nokia software updater firmware update and it confirms i'm on the latest firmware (10.2010.19.1) and i've used the app updater and updated all apps. It has happened before i enabled the extras-devel repository, so I doubt the fault lies there.
Since i restarted the device prior to running "cat /proc/bootreason" i can't find out the reason why it rebooted, but i will update this post as soon as it does it again.
I recieved this phone from Optus Australia, and is running a number of apps from both the ovi store and the app manager. The only apps i have installed from the extras-devel repository are unrar and unzip apps, although i did note that it updated a few other apps at the same time, like flashlight.
I had my Samsung Galaxy s6 G920F one week ago, nothing to say about the phone, amazing battery life. I always plug my phone to charger when I'm home after work, I don't leave it plugged while I'm sleeping. During the night the phone consumes like 1 to 2% battery. I shut down wifi, bluetooth and data during the night. Two days ago I installed Adobe acrobat reader, and disabled some built-in apps which I don't use (Google play music, google newsstand, chrome, hangouts, google+ and skype). Before I go to sleep my phone was 82% battery. When I woke up, my phone was 64% battery. I thought that the issues with Samsung/Android battery life are over with android 5.1.1 and galaxy s6, but in fact no.
I found that a clear cache can solve my issue. I did this and battery drain stopped. Yesterday night, I decided to make a full wipe/clear data, and clear cache. I reinstalled same apps that were on the mobile before, and disabled the same built-in apps. Phone was at 74% when I went to sleep. This morning, my phone was at 52%!!! So I uninstalled Adobe Reader, and activated all the apps that I disabled before, restarted into recovery and cleared cache. Now the issue disappeared again, but I wonder if this will not appear again when I charge my phone to 100%.
the last few days my battery has not even come close to getting me through the day. No new apps. I look at my battery usage and find that Phone Idle is the largest user of my battery. While researching this I find tons of folks who are like "that's normal", but it is almost always even with cell standby. My usage is as follows right now (and this is what it's been like for the past 3 days): phone idle: 37%. Display: 23%, Voice calls: 15%, android OS 10%, Cell standby: 8%. Those are not the numbers anyone else I've spoken to that is running android is seeing. They are seeing phone idle running even or just below cell standby. I'm off battery for 8 hours and down to 25%. I won't make it home before I have to plug in the phone, and for the last 6 months my battery has been making it all day.

View 1 Replies View RelatedA co worker of mine has a S6 and is having trouble with the screen randomly coming on and going off. As a result I think it's killing his battery. If I look at his battery stats the screen is sitting on 32%, Messenger is at 16% and Facebook is 13%. That's the three biggest readings and all others look normal. What's happening is that the screen will just pop on by itself, stay for 4 or 5 seconds, turn off for about 5 seconds, then come right back on and stay for 4 or 5 seconds. The cycle keeps repeating itself. He says that it will do this sometimes for 4 or 5 days in a row, then not do it for maybe close to a week, then it comes back.
I thought he might be getting some sort of reminder from something that is turning the screen on but then it doesn't make sense that it goes right back off again. Since it's not my phone I can't get any screen grabs or anything.
Media server is killing my battery, and fast. I mean a 40% drop in 2 hours yesterday while phone was on sleep with wifi and mobile data disabled. I'm in the UK using S5 900F standard model on kitkat 4.4.2.
Since then I have:
- unmounted Samsung SD card (it only had a few photos and apps on it, had it a week)
- force stopped all "media apps" despite dire warnings as to world ending if I do so etc, and cleared data
- repeatedly cleared cache
- rebooted phone in safe mode and am monitoring. Battery drain is better but media server is still the main culprit at 27% (down from 51% but still..)
I can't keep it on safe mode all day as it's highly inconvenient.
Phone is unrooted, 3 months old so warranty is important. I can't download mediaserver killer etc
I am unable to isolate which media files are causing this or why. I thought it was the SD card which I added recently but it's a Samsung and should work, plus the problem hasn't disappeared after removing it.
I haven't downloaded any apps since the problem started, or downloaded any media files. I have no games on the phone. A little music, Spotify premium (force stop and now disabled by safe mode), 50 photos. Before the mediaserver problem started about a week ago, battery lasted 1 1/2 days at least. I'm not a heavy user of online media (bit of YouTube but never download or watch movies on my phone).
I recently bought this generic phone pouch with a belt clip and every once in a while the battery and phone will be completely dead. The pouch covers the phone entirely except for the top which is open and I can slide the phone into the pouch from the top. I am sure that the pouch does not have a magnet ie the phone is not coming out of sleep while in the pouch. Even in Airplane mode and all wireless devices turned off the phone dies. I cannot understand and believe this. The pouch is relatively tight and the only thing I can think of is that somehow the side camera button and/or rocker volume switch combination is being "pressed" while in the pouch and causes the phone to turn on and die.
If the phone battery doesn't die the battery is down by 40% with no use at all during the day ie I always use the phone in Airplane mode while at work. I do not answer the phone while working.What could be causing this? I can just go buy a new pouch but this totally does not make any sense to me.
I've been having a problem the last few days. My GPS icon stays on continuously and ***** the battery dry. I've seen issues where it will stay on for 12 hours. Even though I thought that was abnormal, it would eventually turn off and resume normal function.
Now it is just running non-stop and the only way for me to stop it is to manually turn off the GPS.
I've been noticing my battery draining pretty fast. I've had the phone just over a month and days when I'm at work all day, maybe do some surfing on my lunch or breaks, but nothing to excessive and my battery is down to like 35% when I get home. Before I was going under Settings->Battery and I noticed "Screen" was the number one offender for draining my battery. Which makes sense, it's a bright display and powering it takes a lot of juice. I don't know if it's coincidence or not, however, it's when I started noticing it after installing ICS. Now "Android OS" has replaced it at the top, by a LOT. Here is a list of my top five
Android OS: 58%
Screen: 18%
Cell Standby: 10%
Phone Idle: 7%
Android System: 2%
Just got my S2 replacement and upgraded to .428 before I even did the swap devices with the DM, and now this phone is set up just like my last one with all the same apps and it is absolutely killing the battery. I dont know what it could be, I have went through and checked the obvious to make sure it was all good( brightness, 1XEV only, no apps running in the background or updating, wifi off etc). I've lost 10% in less than 20 mins after a full charge. Maybe delete all the apps and reload them one by one again?
