GUYS (and GALS)!
There is an application in the Market called Quick Settings. If you have Froyo, this application has a feature that hacks the built-in Hotspot app and makes it work without carrier requirements!! I have tested it, and it works GREAT so far. Give it a shot!

It's funny, the dictionary app I downloaded from the market didn't have "gullible" in it...

Funny how no one can answer a simple question around here anymore, they would rather argue who the biggest @sshole is

Anyone know of a app to tell me which app is using how much data. I only have email and weather app syncing all the time but I seem to be using 40-50mg per day and I hardly get any emails. I think I've disabled most apps.
Anyone help?

Am already using 3g watchdog but it doesn't tell me which app is using the bandwidth. It says I use 25mg on 3g network and about 100meg from my home WiFi daily.

Any apps to download movies for free? Dont really like torrents, its too slow
Sent from my DROID4 using xda premium
Downloading any movie on your phone would eat up a ton of data. I would recommend downloading it via your computer at home to avoid any risk of getting on VZW's top 5% throttle-down list.
I mostly use wifi

Thenks for the responses but I figured it out. For some reason when I turn on developer connection it works.

You don't use task managers in Android.
Just my point of view:

You don't need a task manager. The phone has enough ram and if you really must need a app to hibernate, look into using the greenify app.

I've just noticed particularly the Facebook app has really drained my battery if I let it run in the background

I can confirm these results. I uninstalled the app and just use mobile site. Try Greenify, it will work for this issue too.

Says the guy wanting to use task managers. Seriously, if the app is the issue why would you hunt for a work around? Get rid of the problem don't hide it.

I believe there is more to this than some of you are recognizing. I have a question. Go look in your battery menu and look at the apps using the most battery. Does it show each app keeping the mobile radio active? If so because i'm reading on reddit along with my personal experience. Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Facebook, Chrome, Play Music are doing that. No one seems to know why yet either. Tell me what you find out.

That's never been identified until lollipop, there's no way to know it's any different now than it ever has been.

Well its pretty obvious for me. Ive never seen these apps really sot at the top other than google play services for a gps wakelock. But these apps are inconsistently at the top but when they are, they keep the mobile radio active for hours when screen on time might be a 1/4 of that.
Well then. Try app called Battery Doctor. It will let you see what's draining your battery and let you selectively close the ones you want to.
