[Q] Data limiting? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Seems Im at 1.5gb of my 2gb cap already and I just paid my bill on the 16th. NO idea how I used THAT much data in such a short amount of time but w/e. I need a way to limit data use but not hinder text messages and such. I use wifi everywhere except to and from work.

Pandora, Google music, YouTube, porn

Here's how to bypass that. Buy a Blackberry, activate it on your account (this will switch your data type in T-Mobile's system and effectively re-zero it), then after 24 hours, change back to your Android, and bang, you're back at a fresh start. Don't forget to return the Blackberry. You can do it sooner than 24 hours, just need to change out the phone in their system. I wait 24 hours so as not to raise suspicion.
Works.

How's the data usage with Google Music app? (Since GN has 16GB/no support for ext SD)

Hi,
I'm on the fence of buying a Nexus Galaxy and been researching here and there. This one thing I haven't had experience with before and could not find clear answers searching here and there.
What kind of data usage should I expect If got the GN and used Google Music to save my collection on the cloud and play it over 3g/4g data? I have the 2GB/Mo plan from AT&T.
Well, I listen to a lot of musical genres and have a large collection of MP3s (not MPfree's!).
I never tried the Google Music service since I have a 16GB Atrix 4G with 32GB SD card on to carry "some" of my collection with me always.
*I read a lot posts online by people who are hesitating to buy the GN because of the limitation to 16GB only. I know cloud services are being pushed harder and I'm surprised myself that after I thought of everything and the google music solution to my music collection, 16GB can do! But network data has costs around it, y'know.
I think it's would a nice advertisement/complimentary if Verizon (or other carriers later) would give their GN customers a special offer/discount on data plans considering the nature of the device.
Ah, don't forget my question mates. Your opinion/experience with data usage and Google Music.
Thank you
I don't use Google Music for streaming. Whatever I have is on my phone (not much though). But I can tell you this, if you have a lot of music stored on Google Music (online) then expect to see some high data usage. I have not used any music that is stored by Google (when you select some random genres of music at the time of setting up your account) but my data usage on Google Music player still shows 211 mb used ... I guess that's for syncing or caching all the music on my phone. So atleast initially you will see high data usage and not so much afterwards. My 2 cents ... I hope somebody with more experience would give us real information.

I wouldnt recommend streaming unless you still have an unlimited data plan. Period. Streaming music adds up quick.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I use it quite a bit, but I have an unlimited plan. That said, I have never gone over 2GB on my bill. Mostly because I use wifi when I can.
Based on my experience, listening to an album can use anywhere between 30-60mb depending on quality and length.
Google music also caches the album you listen to. Which is nice when you listen to it again it won't be streaming.

ok, so i dont own the nexus yet, still 1.5 days from possession. but i use google music extensively on my captivate. i have a 16gb phone with 16 gb sdcard, but i kinda like to segregate my music, so i have some on my phone, some on amazon and some on google. i listen to google everyday while commuting to work for 1-1.5hrs, with highest quality option turned on, and everyday my usage is around 50-60mb.i go to work 21-22 days, so its more or less 1gb for google music. i am also on att 2gb plan, before google music i used ~1.1gb per month(used pandora a lot), right now i use 1.6gb.
So yeah, be it pandora, amazon, slacker, or google i use 800-1gb on music every month.
Well, I think we can calculate it.
In the worst case you'd have a 320kbps MP3. When you convert from bits to bytes (by dividing by 8) you get 40kBps.
That means that every minute of music you'll listen to will take use 2.4MB (2400kBps = 40kBps x 60 seconds).
On your 2GB plan, that lets you listen to about 833 minutes of music (or 13 hours straight, or 160 five-minute songs).
That's the worst case which I think you'd only run into if a) you turn on the option in the Music app that forces high quality and b) the song you've stored on Google music is 320kbps.
I hope that logic works out.
Another thing to think about, if you put 6-8GBs of you fav music on the phone, you'd still have lots of space on the phone and significantly reduce the data usage.
BTW....I'm facing the same struggle in my decision on the GN....but I think I may have just help myself decide. LOL

easy for you to say in the great white north is $80+ for only 2GB....
I don't think you will use up all 16GB storage other than musics. And how large are your total music collections? Why don't you open wifi and cache all or most favorite music down on GN so you won't be stream when you listen to them. And if you really run out of space, google music will free up some for you without any problem.

Faster 4G = being throttled quicker!

Dam just got my galaxy s2 on the 8th and i'm already being throttled! got the 10GB data plan too. At 11GB ;(.that's from using Netflix once and steaming Pandora Radio, daily use! Not to crazy! Really wish they would do away with the data throttling. I mean come on! These devices use alot of data! One thing I like about Sprint! No slow down or charges for using alot of data! With faster speeds.brings faster slow down! Total BS!

Basically unless you have access to wifi streaming music and video is out. This makes it impossible for me to stream music while i work, so it is back to the radio. This is going to continue until people tell the cell phone companies no this is not acceptable.
I have the 5GB plan and I've been doing a LOT with it; Downloading HD Videos off of youtube, downloading music, Web browsing, streaming youtube videos, tethering to my computer to play online games (which is smooth and lag-free), and I've used up about 1.6GB. I can't even imagine using 10GB in that small of a time frame.
You used 10GB just from streaming Netflix once and using Pandora everyday since the 8th of December? That number sounds very high. Do you have some sort of data manager that tracks how much data (in MB) your apps are using up?
I do agree that with these blazing speeds, it is easy to go nuts and just go on a rampage. I know that if I didn't restrain myself sometimes, I could use up my data cap in a couple days. Kind of a bummer that we can't truly enjoy the phone without having to worry about being throttled =/

The only thing that uses more data is running speedtests or having higher quality music/video streams (and higher speedtest download files) because your connection is faster.
Solution: stop streaming so much, use WiFi more. They can't do away with caps because your speeds wouldn't be fast anymore.. duh.

I guarantee that if you stop using netflix you'll be fine.. I mean Effin a bro, a movie is likely to be around a gig in size, what do you expect lol
Dude how the hell do you use all that data I have 5gig plan and use it alot and never break 4gigs I mean I know you're streaming ****. But damn! Use wifi when you're at the house!
Last month was my first with the GS2, used about 11GB (10,980 megabytes). Mainly with Netflix daily at the gym, google music and ROM downloading. It's just so hard to do wifi when it's slower then the network.

You guys are lucky... you know when your going to get throttled, I don't. I only know when I get the Top 5% text.
And you also feel my pain, LTE is like 3x faster (I have 24/3 at home, LTE usually gets around 45/60 down and 15 up), I download all the time on LTE.
I hate having to be stingy about data usage.

RESOLUTION FOR THIS? If you change your data plan after 2 hours it restarts you MB counter.
Call, and ask to be switched to the 10gb BB plan [they future date if you downsize], wait 2 hours, call and swap back to android :x

No it doesn't. You are mistaken.. It only adds to your current data if you go up in limit, it doesn't "restart" your mb counter. They cannot reset it at all.

That's cool if you "worked" there. But your knowledge is incorrect. There's no way a rep or supervisor can reset data. They can add to it if you change your data plan to a higher cap, but they can't reset it. And if you do go up and change back before the month is up, you drop back to your old cap and remain at the same usage.
I know this for a fact. Trust me.

Your ET4G

Im just wondering what kind of things do you guys do to your phones. Roms apps themes etc. Im running cm9 and want to try to find new ideas and apps to make my phone cooler and less boring. thanks in advance guys
My E4GT is pretty much information central. I do all the normal things, text, phone, data but no gaming and rarely watch movies (unless I'm trying to drain a battery lol). However my phone holds all the important information in my life, family events, bill due dates/amounts, appointments, To Do lists, Shopping Lists, car maintenance repair reminders, lists of things I want to read, research or sell, pictures of the people and animals in my life, work and personal email.
I try not to be so paperless but honestly I'd be lost without my phone.
I'd say I just found a new look that I love, I found a cm9 sense theme that looks great on this phone! Any other fun addicting games like temple run?
I use mine for several things daily. Dropbox for reading class notes for college and making transferring new modems, etc a little easier. Shopping, paying bills, calendar stuff. I use the Square app + card reader so I can accept credit cards from customers of my (very) small computer repair business. I plug my phone into my car's stereo and stream pandora when I'm driving;Google Music if I want to listen to my own stuff. I use ventrilo on my phone for some pc games that I play instead of installing an extra program on my pc. I listen to car talk every Saturday via the npr news app. Kroger app for loading coupons onto my kroger card before grocery shopping. I often stream hulu plus or netflix on my television via hdmi adapter. Weather, general news, email, xda (goes without saying), video chatting with friends /family via Skype, gps navigation...... Think that's about it for now.

[Q] Movies

I would like to start watching some movies on my note 2. I don't want to download them to my device. I was thinking of using drop box and a program which puts dvds as a file. It takes a rather long time and I would rather not want to do this every time. Is there a website or something that allows you to Stream your own movies for free?
most movies nowadays come with ultraviolet copies. if your dvds don't then try setting your computer up as an ftp server and host them yourself

if you were trying to "share" movies over your own home network, like watch movies that were on a home computer in another room, that would be easy. Stupid easy. Set your folder with movies as "shared" over the network, use something like BubbleUPnP player, or even XBMC for Android (quite a bit more complicated to set up, but Way Worth it, once you set up the library and shares) to browse and watch. (with XBMC, I woiuld set it up on the host sys, set up the libraries and metadata there for sharing over the network.)
if you are trying to "share" movies over the internet (from your home, I assume?), for you to watch when you were out at another location, well that's a hobby unto itself, and outside the scope of what you could expect here at XDA. Learning how to set up a "real" server (FTP, SMB/CIFS), takes time and (at least self-) education. People get paid to do that kind of stuff, right? Worth learning, if you have the time. But I don't have the time to even teach you the basics. There are no basics.
Not to mention most likely your bandwidth upstream from home, on most IPSs, is not very great. I wouldn't want to stream anything but standard definition vid files, And it might "kill" the internet use for anyone at home.
But for fun, here are some basic solutions and/or information for you to explore, get started. If you start to play around with networking, you'll quickly become a "computer genius" to family n friends. :

I use Remote Media Center from the play store. In conjuction with remote potato server app running on your home computer to serve your media. RMC will utilize MX player to handle the video playback on your phone. (Install MX player). I've been using this setup for almost a year no problem. I've got tons of video and pictures, music I don't need to carry with me.

I downloaded this after seeing your post and have watched every new movie from 2012 I'd wanted to see but wouldn't pay $20 to go sit in a theater full of morons crunching popcorn, slurping soda, texting, talking and making my night miserable what a waste. I haven't been to a theater in 2 year's or so cause of that crap. Price is too high to go watch a movie that you miss half of from the rude idiots acting like they're sitting on their own couch and didnt just pay a small fortune to be there. I can't quite figure out why the prices have gotten so high its not like the theaters have gotten any nicer or more private. I could see a price increase if they weren't packing 200+ people in a 150'x150' room im seats where you're practically sitting on each others lap.

it's basic economics. wherein a business is not considered successful unless there is measurable Growth in profits to show to investors every year. (ie: "how can we squeeze more money from our customers while bringing production costs down/delivering less, and do it better than last year?") theaters have become the worst experience you can have for $15, hands down.
if it wasn't for IMAX, i wouldn't go to theaters at all. even then, at home i've got excellent surround sound, 55" screen. and i get to take pee breaks. and i make way better snacks than Regal. (you haven't lived until you've had my open-faced chopped steak and provolone sandwich)
and people wonder why i'm a verified, unrepentant, and proud pirate. over 700 movies in my collection, and counting. (not to mention TV seasons... and hundreds of thousands of songs...) that's why I maintain a robust server in my basement. any bit of my media collection is accessible by any terminal in the house.
call me a hypocrite if you like, but i never pirate software. and verbally slam those that do. *shrug*
Why would they have an app that allows for not so legal activity in the play store?
Questions like this is why they get pulled........ shhhhhh

Its internet connection is blocked by AdBlock and after I opened it it placed another app shortcut on my homescreen "Aplicaciones". No thank you. Looks fishy. Uninstalled.
Worked fine for me with adblock and no shortcut created. Checked out with several phone and pc based av progs too.

6 months YouTube Music. did any one get it?

i read Pixel 3 owners get 6 months YouTube music free... did any one get any email regarding that?
Can't get it lol
At least idk how
Open YouTube music from your phone. If you are eligible, it will show you the 6 month deal. Just accept and you are on! You must not have been a subscriber in the last 36 months to qualify.

I got it. It was offered when I opened. 6 months is a long time so I took it. I don't think it's garbage but I don't know what the difference is between this and Google music premium.
Anyway, all music with screen off. Me like.

i didn't see anything. for me if i open YouTube music app..it only shows 1 month free trail.
also, weren't they giving us google credit or something?
I pay for Google music so I already get YouTube red and music for free but YouTube music isn't really useful, especially since a lot of music I listen to is customized and re-done by secondary artists and often times are not classified as music and, thus, are not on YouTube music.
I've never been a subscriber and I never got this offer

I have noticed that under playlists, all of my YouTube playlists showed up. I can listen to them without commercials.

I've been a GPM subscriber since day 1 and get YTM included now. But of course, I don't use it because GPM is still the superior music streaming service and cloud storage locker. So, can I just get 6 months of free GPM service instead of paying like I already do?
I was shown that during the order process. However, I've had YouTube music for a while, sooo, I guess I miss out... Total BS. Just like I met all the qualifications for the $50 promo, but didn't get it. You're welcome for pre-ordering Google! Jerks
i hit up pixel support today and they made me sign up for the 1 free month trial and then manually extended it for 7 months as a courtesy
