Multi-tasking/internet usage

So i'm a little confused about this thing. I just got an IPhone4 a few days ago and I noticed all these programs I had running in the background.
Do I need to exit apps like Facebook, Skype and Safari in order to avoid extensive internet data usage? does it really take up a lot?
Thanks!

HT4211 I would like clarification on the official intended usage of the multi-tasking switcher. Specifically, should apps be regularly closed (minus bubble) out of this list, or is the close feature closer to OS X's force quit.

It is not really necessary to close apps from there. It is more like a recently used apps list. You can close them from there if a problem occurs with the app, and there are only a few apps that will remain running when you close them with the Home button. You can see information about the multi-tasking bar in the User Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

Is there anyway to track our internet usage on the airport?, is there anyway to track our internet usage on the airport?

Hi. We recently have subsriced to Satelite internet connection in North Yorkshire. The satellite connection is limited to a 13gig download limit and was wondering if there was a way to track our usuage as a whole - which are two laptops, i-phones and i-pad - by using the apple airport? Or any other way that people may know of.
Thanks for your time in advance!

I have the same need which I assume is growing for many and thus done some research in this area. Apparently, applications such as NetUse and iNet Network have been able to measure total internet usage on the Airport Extreme, until recently.
Unfortunately, 6.x Airport firmware updates have eliminated something called SNMP Monitoring which has undermined the ability for these apps to measure the traffic. Very frustrating!
To my knowledge, SurplusMeter only tracks internet usage on one computer which is of limited use in a multi-device environment.

I cannot multi task while talking on the phone. eg. connect to facebook, itune, whatassp..

Recently I cannot multi task while talking on the phone. eg. connect to facebook, itune, whatassp. I can do multi task last time. pls help !

If your carrier is CDMA (such as verizon in the USA) you won't be able to talk on the phone and use data/internet stuff at the same time. It's a limitation of the technology... Not sure if that helps or not. What carrier are you with?

My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

What are your impressions of "multi-tasking"?

If you have iOS4 and a capable device, you should have multi-tasking and opened apps appearing in the task bar. Newer app versions are able to run in the background. In my opinion, when I close most apps (by pressing the home button), I want them to close completely, not run in the background. Aside from being a privacy issue, apps in the task bar may use battery power or if truly in a suspended mode, they still take up memory or process capability. In order to really shut them down, two additional home button clicks and then two more screen strokes are required. Not very efficient and probably leading to an earlier home button failure. Why not have some kind of screen command (tap or swipe combination?) to simultaneously shut down all apps in the task bar? The bar itself is useless if you have used many apps in the course of a day. To find what you're looking for, you have to scroll through a long parade of icons. It's a lot easier to just tap the icon where you know it is sitting in the nice folder you created. I don't get it. I realize the bar can be used for switching open apps, but this is really not that big of a deal for the vast majority of apps. Furthermore, there should be an option to enable or disable multi-tasking globally as well as for individual apps. Now that would be an improvement.
What are your thoughts?

I havent done any kind of multitasking on my ipod touch, im waiting to upgrade my software to the newer one. However, I couldnt agree more with that of pressing the home button many times to perform basic function to switch apps or enable the multitasking ability. I think palm adapted a better design of software than apple ever did with their IOS 4. Palm's webOS can handle full multitasking--something the iPhone can't do. Palm uses what it calls "a deck of cards model" for managing multitasking: You can view each of your open applications at once, shuffle them any way you choose, and then discard the ones you want to close. All of this is done with intuitive gestures that mimic handling a physical deck of cards. Apps remains live, even when minimized into the card view, so changes can continue to happen in real-time, even if you've moved on to another activity.
I had the time to experience a bit of a palm web os software on an AT&T store and my impression on that software is done more elegantly than apple multitasking home pressing button system.
P.S to NYtroutbum: you should definitely present that idea to apple by its feedback product page. Let's hope it listens.

How do I get my 2G iPod to update to something past 4.2.1, preferably with multi-tasking, is it even possible, can I get a copy from somewhere else?

I'm trying to update to something past 4.2.1 so i can get multi tasking. Any help would be great.

4.2.1 is the latest iOS available for the iPod touch 2G.

Doing a 30 minute video created 15 Gigabyte of Internet usage. Why? And how can I stop this!

Created a small, simple 30 minute video. Burned a few CDs. Downloaded one (1) sound track (a few MB). Internet usage soared to an unbelievable 15 GB!
All data, files, etc on my PC, yet Premiere Elements used the Internet constantly, especially when burning CDs.
Why? There was nothing to upload or download (except 1 sound track). This maxed my Internet allowance, and has cost me a lot of cash for extra capacity.
How can I stop this data gluttony.
Or do I have to junk a new, expensive program? (Premiere Elements 13.

Contacted support.
They say that this is 'impossible'!!!
Went for Option 2. Accept one-time waste of Internet capacity. Write it off to painful experience. Junked Premiere Elements 13.
Problem solved.

this is not smart phone

Where is the Asha line advertised as smartphones? afaik Nokia is clear these are (entry level) featurephones based on S30.
If you would be better of with a different phone why did you not do your homework before you bought the phone?
Nokia Belle will not come to Asha phones. Bell has completely different and much higher hardware requirements.

Multi-tasking not working

I just updated to the new iOS 4 and when I double click it does not bring up the multi-tasking menu, but rather goes to my phone favorites. I have went to my settings-homebutton -> but there is no option to switch it to "multi-tasking" is there something I am doing wrong?

That's because you have a 3G and not a 3GS. The 3G doesn't support multi-tasking.
If you indeed have a 3GS then somehow you downloaded the wrong version of the firmware.

My company loaded profiles onto my iPad for email and calendars.. There is also a signing certificate and a certificate. What are these for? Additionally are they able to monitor apps and usage, ie Internet usage when it is not on their wifi?

I do not have any VPN enabled?

Do you happen to have an Android? If so and depending on what version there is a great data usage analyse tool built-in. See if you can go to Settings -> Data Usage from there you can pick a current or previous billing cycle and then use the vertical sliders to select a date range and it will filter the usage data per app to show you exactly what app(s) were using data during that time frame.

Inspection task list usage is not picking automatically?

Hi all,
whenever I create inspection lot for source inspection (for PO) through Qi07, in the inspection lot, task usage assigned as a 6(goods issue), but i will assign 3 (universal) later on for the source inspection ( with respect to PO)in qa32 & later on i will proceed. But i want the system to assign the 3 (task list usage) automatically for all the inspection lots, how to enable the same?
regards,
Sanju

Hi
In the SPRO setting for inspection type, you can assign default usage. I am not having system access right now, so cant give you exact path. But approx. QCC0--insp lot creation-maintain insp type/default values for inspection type.
Try if this solves your issue.

Home Sharing - Internet Usage

Will Home Sharing have any effect on my internet usage (data) at all? If so, how much will it use?

Short Answer: No
Long Answer:
Home Sharing uses your WiFi around the house. So, for example, assuming your router is a wireless one and your Mac and iDevices use your private WiFi, then setting up home sharing means your iDevices, or your AppleTV, or any sound-system connected to your WiFi network via Apple Airport Express, will be able to share the Media library in iTunes on your Mac.
ie: Whilst at home, in the garden, assuming your wifi extends into your garden, you can listen to any of the music that's on your Mac, through your iPod Touch. Or even watch a movie that you downloaded to your Mac, on your TV (with Apple TV). All wirelessly.
To turn on Home Sharing, you'll need to enter you Apple ID and your password in iTunes on your Mac (Advanced>Turn on Home Sharing) and then do the same on any other device you which to have home sharing too.
Hope that helps.
