Android apps

[HH3]

Ive just got Tuneinradio and think its the best app, but just wondering how much data it chews through. How long would it take to chew through 1gB?

[smac]

I only use it when I'm on my home network so haven't bothered checking.

But you could try one of these apps: https://market.android.com/search?q=dat ... o=1&c=apps to check what it uses over a ten minute period and work it out from there.

I've used 290.20 MB this month, and I listen to 1050 ESPN on the way to and from work. So thats generally an hour a day, 5 hours per week. (9 working days)

This also includes FB, app downloads/updates, and email.

Download a program called quota to keep an eye on your usage. Best app ever for this.

I've also just got tunein radio, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to find 5AA. Any tips on where to locate it within tunein radio?

[mickey]

Is in local stations, should be able to find it by browsing..

[Sploosh]

I get lots of NSW stations, heaps of FM, but no Adelaide ones. Maybe my phone thinks I'm in Sydney? Is there a search feature on Tunein? I can't seem to find a place to actually type in 5AA...

Magnifying glass icon up the top. Search fiveaa.

Brilliant. Never noticed that icon - thanks kindly!

Got tune in radio also, thanks for the heads up smac, its brilliant, esp as I lost my little pocket radio at the Balak Cup.

Apart from the local stations found SEN and the racing stations.

It chews thru a fair bit of battery though. Anyone know of longer lasting batteries for HTC's? Id pay good $ for something that would last a couple of days without charging and pretty heavy use. I bought an extra battery on ebay for $8 but its worse than my original one (probably a fake)

[Westsider]

Thats smart phones for you. Use the internet a bit and it chews through the battery. Just charge daily, I do. Then let it go dead flat on the weekend, keeps the battery healthy.

[smac]

Yes, my phone is dead flat by 9pm each day unless I spend some time in the car with it on charge. But I leave GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi etc all activated at all times - could possibly save some juice by switching off any of those you don't use.

RE; Battery life - I went to my local Telechoice store who said to me about my battery problem "when you purchased it, did they tell you to charge it each night regardless of use?". Nope! They said it needs to calibrate itself (whatever!). But since I've been charging it daily/nightly, it's been lasting 10x longer (much like nasal sprays!).

[Dutchy]

Yeah just suprised they havent developed a battery that cant last longer, ive reduced the brightness of the screen and that has helped a bit.

Positive is at work the Blackberrys use the same chargers as HTC so when you forget your charged (like today) you can keep up the green!

[Wedgie]

Im used to an Iphone so just have chargers everywhere anyway.
At least unlike my old Iphone days I can now carry a spare battery as a backup.

[Dutchy]

Fully charged HTC tonight when I left work on the bike, had my tracking ap on (Endomondo) plus tune in radio going, battery dead 5 mins before I got home, an hour and half ride.

[Wedgie]

You need to pedal harder!

[Q.]

Or get a pedal-powered charger.

Dude, your battery is shagged.

[Booney]

Charge mine most of the day each day at work ( or in the car ) and over the weekend when I dont charge and most use to browse / use internet it barely drops below 60% charge. I would have it on charge for 4-5 hours a day 5 days a week.

HTC Legend.

[Westsider]

I charge overnight. Usually have 30% left at the end of the day.

However I run stock android and got rid of HTC Sense.
