Google apps are designed from the ground up to use a lot of network bandwidth. If you have an expensive tariff, consider disabling networking entirely (or use Wi-Fi) when you are not using it, as there are a lot of invisible background processes that call home a lot.
>> I think this needs to be worked on and is not a good function.<< I think this criticism is unjustified, as my HTC Magic received a security update last week and it asked for permission before downloading and installing the update. Well written software will ask before doing any big networking jobs, with the obvious exception being a G1 running the pre-cupcake firmware which forced you to activate it via a Google account over the T-Mobile network. Unless you have a developer phone, you have to rely on your hardware manufacturer (or carrier) to provide a firmware upgrade with the *correct security certificate* that you can install yourself over USB. It is not a failure of Android (or Google) if one isn’t provided for your phone. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
