Five Apps I Couldn’t Live Without; Part 3

SlingPlayer Mobile by Sling Media

In terms of using my handset for entertainment purposes, my needs begin and end with SlingPlayer Mobile (aside from music of course). I’m not much of a gamer - in fact I think the only game I have on my handset right now is mBounce’s “The Big 2″, a Chinese card […]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ ... Continue reading »

    Seven is great! Thanks Zach! I just installed it and it works like a charm. I don't know how much it will raise my data traffic, and the costs it will bring, because I don't really know how push mail works...
    Hey this brings up a question. Do you know of any application that measures my IP based traffic? I'd like to know how much is going through so I can get a good package from my provider.

    Thanks for the comment. If you are on a pay-per-use data plan, I definitely recommend you consider and alternative option. SEVEN maintains a constant data connection and it will cause your bill to go way up!

    As for an app that monitors data, unfortunately I don't know of one. :(

    Yeah I was afraid of that. What is a good alternative to SEVEN? I guess push mail only works if there is a constant connection. Is there a way to go around that?

    hey Zach thanx for the info on SEVEN, i knew about it, but when i went to their site, i couldnt find a way to dowload and use beta app. anywy this is the 1st push app i have seen that also works with yahoo free mail acounts. i dont know how it does that, as yahoo doesnt even provide POP3 access to its free customers. anyway a great app. and about data usage shooting up, i dont see that happening too much, as i have installed SEVEN almost 24hrs ag and got atleast 10 mails on myyaho and gmail accounts each, and still my data counter moved from 14.57MB to 15.3MB, hardly anything!

    Hey Chirantan,
    Thanks for the info on the data traffic. Can you tell me what data counter you are using? I've been looking for something for ages to keep track of my data traffic and haven't found any app. I have a 30 MB plan on 3G so I have to be careful if I'm out of wifi coverage. Psiloc Connect helps (thanks to Zach :D ), but I'd still like to know how much data is flowing through...

    i dont use any special program as data counter, i use N82's own log as data counter, it shows all the data you hav uploaded and downloaded, under packet data, and since we hardly have any wifi connections here, all the data in there is used over EDGE. thats how i count it, reset the counter at my bill date, so i know how much i have used in that month.

    cool, I'm gonna check if my E51 has such a counter. I hope it dose. Called my provider, it turns out that I can check my traffic with them if I call support. So I'll do that first thing tomorrow, and see how much I use in a day. Since I have wifi, I haven't used 3G much, but been paying for it, so at leat some app is using the bytes I've pre payed... :D

    Definitely start a thread in their forum, they're very helpful and responsive.

    I haven't noticed any lag at all actually. The older versions were SUPER slow but this one is fine so far on my n95-4.
