Note for people who use their Google Apps account with Android. Google Checkout needs to be enabled by your domain administrator from 'Organization and Users' (or by you if you own the domain). Otherwise you can't purchase applications from the Android Market.

Android Market kept on saying "An error occured while creating your order" until I troubleshooted myself.

any app which can tell me how much overall Bandwith [net] usage is done/on/used/beingused by my phone ???

& which network charges are good for net usage ??? plz suggest

Network Monitor
Been using this app for over 2yrs now, very accurate.

Regarding Data Plans, BSNL offers 3GB for 89 and moreover, if you use phone in 3G mode, it gives a constant 256k restricted line in some circles

dont use 3g, play mmorpg games no prolem at all.. 3g only really required if you wanna like use youtube as your mp3 player, in which case you prolly dont care how much it costs, otherwise it is not need

 

[sriharsha_madineni]

@sriharsha_madineni, no 3g just simple net for mails, fb, twitter etc ... just 2 be online always ....

It's not 3G as such, it's just your 2G plan that works in 3G mode, albeit at 256k limit

Guys i need some help. I hopped onto the android (gingerbread) brandwagon yesterday by getting a motorola fire xt. I installed some apps by the android market but the internal memory has almost finished(about 15 mb left)..i tried to move them all to the memory card by using an app called sd mover. Still after moving all the apps possible to move to the sd card, only. 15mb is left. So guys please tell me how to free some memory.. i will root my phone after 2-3 months..

^^ Are you sure, you have moved all apps to card which are possible?
Check out this app, to transfer them, Apps 2 SD

With that app, also check which are the big size app, that can't be moved to the card (Category: "Only Phone"), and if you don't require it, uninstall them. (That is, if you need space on phone immediately, since Android starts to give PITA with memory less than 20 MB).

 

[rahul.007]

Sorry, i am using app2sd.. i'll have to delete some apps...

 

[Vyom]

Hmm... I bet you would have no other choice. My newly bought is also giving me memory shortage problems. I too will have to face it, until I root it the next month!

^^^Root ur phones if available..it will solve all ur memory probz

 

[coderunknown]

why are ppls so scared of this root thing? it won't break the mobile & can be unrooted.

@rahul, check well. motorola is known to lock bootloader & NAND making rooting a difficult task. i did a small search & yes, XT too got a locked bootloader.

 

[Dangerous Dave]

Is gingerbird available for Samsung Galaxy S GTi9003 ?

 

[coderunknown]

yup. released last month or maybe last month.

I use 3G WatchDog to check internet usage. The cheapest internet plan I have found so far is Tata Docomo's Rs. 63/2.5 GB/30 days. The speed is decent too. I am unable to even reach 500 MB data usage in spite of constantly using the data network(checking mails, browsing, sync, app updates, market, game data, etc.).
