How fast will I use my hotspot data?

Hey all,
I just activated the mobile hotspot service because my internet is down, a tech can't visit me until this Saturday, and I absolutely need internet for school.  I only paid for the 2 GB usage, but I also have a roommate.  How fast will we burn through our usage total if we're using it strictly for internet things like our school research, facebook, and message boards like this one?  I realize it could be very subjective.  All I'm looking for are reasonable estimations.
Thanks.

Well it depends of you have 3G or 4G, and if you stream lots of audio and video or not. If you lay off these things, you should manage to stay within a 2 Gig limit without too much trouble. Static web browsing, email, IM, googling for research, chat, these things are all fine. YouTube, Hulu, Pandora, Slacker, etc suck it down pretty quick. Hulu and YouTube at standard definition can use 200 meg per hour. HD movies can use 1.25 Gig for 2 hour movie. Streaming radio at 74 kbs use about 30 meg per hour. When I had the USB Tethering on an old 3G phone, I didn't use anywhere near 2 Gig in a month.

  • HT204023 If my iphone is connected to the internet via wifi will it use my cellular data if I use it as a personal hotspot or will it use the wifi's internet???

    If my iphone is connected to the internet via wifi will it use my cellular data if I use it as a personal hotspot or will it use the wifi's internet???
    The wireless on my laptop brokebut I can still connect to my phone when I plug it in. My iphone is connected to the wifi but is this being transfered onto the laptop or is it using up my data???

    Personal hotspot shares your cellular connection with other devices via cable, bluetooth or WiFi. If you turn on the hotspot, the phone will be disconnected from the WiFi network you are on and share access to the cellular connection. That's what it's for. It's using your data plan if that's what you're trying to do.

  • How fast will iPhone 5s sell out from Apple Stores?

    Ok I know this is impossible to answer but I was just wondering compared to previous years how fast iPhones have sold out. I may not be able to get to an Apple Store untill Sunday, 2 days after the release date. Do you think that the iPhone 5s will be sold out by then?

    As you said, impossible to answer.
    Nobody here knows how many iPhone 5s Apple has to sell, how many of each model are allocated to each store, which store you intend to visit, which model you want, how many other people will want to buy the same phone at that same store, and how quickly the store staff can sell them.
    My purely uneducated guess is: you'll be extremely lucky to find any initial stock left 2 days after release, unless they've had further deliveries. But I could be wrong.

  • How can I be using so much data on my iPhone 5

    How can I possibly be using so much data on my iPhone. I usually listen to Pandora for about an Hour each day I drive to work. So far (the first 8 days of my billing cycle I have used about 1 GB of data. According to Verizon's calculations I based on this usage I should be using a total of about 1.5 GB of data/month. I called both Verizon and Apple and received no resolution. Apple confirmed that the Phone's wifi shuts off WIFI when the phone is asleep. Resulting in the phone switching to LTE. Apple also indicated that apps that are in the background tend to use data as well. This still doesn't make sense. I had the same data usage pattern (Pandora) with my old 3GS and only used about 1GB/ month. There has got to be another solution. I refuse to believe that just using Pandora for about an hour/day for 5/days a week results in a GB of data usage. Any suggestions?

    So, I thought itunes match (like Pandora) streams music from the cloud. I didn't think that the phone 'syncs' several times a day. I did notice a pattern between 11am-1pm data being used in the order of 29 mb yesterday, 42 mb the day before, and 43 mb the day before that. This is at a time when I know I am not using any significant data on my phone. Yesterday I even closed all my apps w/the exception of Pandora which I made sure wasn't running during the day. This additional usage can easily add up to the 100 mb/day i'm averaging.

  • How many computers are using my sync data

    I would like to know how many devices are utilizing my sync data.
    this seems like it should be in my sync management console online, but it is not.
    my paranoid brain sees a worst case scenario.. someone hacks my machine and somehow gets my sync key or was able to get a code generated to sync the data.
    is there a way to find out what devises are accessing my data ?
    thank you

    Unfortunately there's no easy way to do it, but there's a way to do it (and it's not obvious):
    Go to your Options/Preferences window and select the Sync tab.
    - From the "Manage account" drop-down, select "Reset Sync". (we are not going to Reset it...but is the way to go)
    - Select "Replace all other computers"
    - Press next and you will see the list of devices that are connected to the account.
    After that, close the window (unless you want to complete the process).
    I hope it helps.

  • How do i start using personal hotspots

    I am 64 years old and not a techie. So be patient with me. I would like to set up the personal hotspot on iphone 4s. I have no clue how to go about using it once i set it up! Is there anyone out there that could guide me through the process?

    Have you set it up already? If not, you would need to give a call to your cellular carrier. If you have, what other devices would you be connecting to it?

  • How we will have more line of data using protect.. endprotect in main windo

    I have a main window which can have 20 lines and I have paragraph which is of 23  lines, If I use Protect and Endprotect will the data display?(because the protect Endprotect will take whole paragraph in one page but here the paragraph is of 23 lines which cant fit in on window which is of 20 lines)

    Hi
    <u>You have couple of options.</u>
    <b>1) Either you can reduce the font size of the text (To say Courier,  8 Points)
    2) Protect ... Endprotect is for displaying the text inside the block on the same page. Incase the page is geeting ended, then the text printing will not start on that page and will start from the next page to display the whole contents in a page (block).
    3) Increase the page layout from A4 to Letter size if possible.
    View the print preview, to make sure, all the text will come on the desired page as per your requirements.</b>
    Hope this will help.

  • How fast will the NI 6723 update 32 channels using LabView

    How does one figure up the updata rate? Is LV Real Time needed to update 32 channels within the microsecond range?

    You shouldn't need to use LabVIEW Real Time to achieve 32 channel updates within the microsecond range. The 6723 manual provides two specifications for maximum update rate on 32 channels. If you are using the onboard FIFO = 204 kS/s. Using Host PC Memory = 45 kS/s. Either of these update rates should be fine for you. These numbers can change however depending on bus activity.

    Hi Suma,
    This is probably the wrong area for you to post your question. While SAP has recently rebranded some of its data warehousing solutions (Business Objects is now SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence and what was SAP Business Intellgience is now SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse), the forum categories have not changed names.
    For questions regarding Data Servers (hybrid of Data Integrator and Data Quality), you will want to post to the Business Objects > Enterprise Information Management forum instead.

  • How Fast will a G5 Burn a DVD?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm looking to upgrade to a G5, and I'm curious how long does a Dual G5 take to burn a fully loaded DVD (in both iDVD & DVD studio pro)? Not just the burning alone, but the time it takes to process DVD menu's, slideshows, ect. Thanks for all the help in advance!

    How fast is the computer that's going to be doing the authoring/rendering? Your signature says only that you've got a PowerMac G4.
    I think iDVD uses single-pass encoding only, which would be relatively fast, but on a PowerMac G4, I doubt that it'll be any faster than realtime. I don't use iDVD so admittedly, I'm not sure. I can test it on my PowerBook if I remember to do so to see how long it tends to take.
    On another note, are you aware of what you're about to get yourself into with filming a wedding, taking photos, and doing a highlight montage & photo montage? It looks easy, but it's really not. I know from experience, as I'm involved in wedding videography with one of my friends.
    Are you planning on using just one camera and moving around a lot? Or will you have multiple cameras so you can get different angles of the ceremony? I ask this, not only from an artistic view, but mainly because you'll have to capture this video in the time between the ceremony and the reception - and capturing the video takes the same amount of time as the video's runtime (1 hr. of footage = 1 hour capturing). And if you add additional cameras, your capture time obviously increases.
    Then, you still have to edit the montage together, which, depending on how fancy you want to get, may take at least 1/2 hour or more just for a rough cut. Then comes the DVD authoring and burning.
    The photo montage is the easy part. You might be able to get good results by sending an iPhoto slideshow (perhaps with the Ken Burns effect enabled) to iDVD. That at least won't take too long. You could always play that from the computer if necessary.
    I know it's not the same thing as what your cousin is asking for, but it might be more enjoyable for the guests to see something like a photo montage of the bride and groom using older photos of them. Pictures of them as kids, teens, young adults, etc. I was shooting a wedding recently where a friend of the groom presented something like this at the reception and it went over very well.
    I hope you're being compensated in some way for doing all this for your cousin. I think it's going to be a long day for you. Best of luck to you.
    And I'll try and remember to check out the iDVD speeds like I said. We might be able to get a rough idea of how long it'll take once you let me know what speed of computer you'll be working with.

  • Ipad Air will not use the hotspot from my Samsung Galaxy S4

    I just got my Ipad air WiFi ( 16GB).  I have a samsung galaxy S4 phone.  When I turn on my hotspot on the samsung  and connect to it from the Ipad, it says there is a connection, the WiFi symbol is on the Ipad, and then try to go to the internet and nothing happens. I then turned off my hotspot and turned on my boyfriends Iphone 4s hotspot and it worked instantly.  I have tried rebooting both devices as awell as try using an open network on my hotspot on the samsung. Still nothing! Both devices are up to date on everything. Has anyone else had a problem connecting thier samsung to Ipad?

    if it see the signal, and lets you join your galaxy hot spot - it should work.  But your carrier needs to know, and you need to have an accout that supports the use of a hotspot.  Att for example, charges $20 mermonth to allow tethering.  Is your account set up for that?

  • How to store and use the BLOB data in Oracle 11G?

    Recentlly,when I tested the Blob data in Oracle11G ,I found that there were too many differences between the SQL
    Server and the Orcale on the capabilities.In Orcale ,I created the table like this:
    create table point
    xid number(10) primary key,
    North number(30,15) default null,
    West number(30,15) default null,
    South number(30,15) default null,
    East number(30,15) default null,
    Area number(30,15) default null,
    Len number(30,15) default null,
    Geometry BLOB default null
    organization index overflow
    tablespace "Tab1"
    lob (Geometry) store as securefile
    tablespace "Tab1"
    enable storeage in row
    chunk 4096
    pctversion 20
    nocache
    no logging
    compress high
    and I stored 10248 rows in this table,
    then ,I used "select geometry from point where xid > ? and xid < ?" as the testing SQL langauage in Java and the
    programme runed once per 5000 pieces of memory.
    the total time used in Orcale is twice more than that in SQLServer.In my Application programs, once the same
    orders runed,their differences were three times and more.As usually,the capability of Orcale is more strongger
    than the SQLServer.Why?

    select geometry from point where xid > ? and xid < ?"Does an index on XID exist?
    Are statistics current for table & indexes?
