Hey guys,

couldn't think of the appropriate section, so I'll just ask here.

I recently got an android smartphone, and wanted to play games on it, especially pocket legends. I just wanted to know

1. How much data does it consume IF
I use my wi-fi
I use 3g
2. How much data would it take to download/patch?
3. Is 300 mb enough data for 1.5 hours of PL/day if I don't do anything else?
4. How to turn off 3g for samsung galaxy s2.

Thanks guys. I heard that it takes minimal data if played within your wifi zone but I also read somewhere its like 17 mb/10 min on 3g?

I'm on a limited data plan lol

2. Downloads should be free as long as you download within your wifi range.

Thanks,

also how do you turn off 3g for samsung galaxy s2
is 300 mb/month enough for around 1.5 hours of PL IN MY WIFI ZONE per day? Assuming I don't watch any videos, use the web, etc.

If you have an unlimited data on your Wi-Fi, you should be set to do anything. My iPhone doesn't use data when I'm in my Wi-Fi... Don't download apps when you aren't on Wi-Fi though...

2. DONT download apps (especially PL,DL and SL) over 3G. It takes forever! Use wifi if it's available!

You're perfectly fine, PL uses hardly anything.

To turn off 3G, try this:
Settings>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Network mode>Gsm Only

Few hours of PL will consume 300mb if he's playing on 3G though. He'd have to be playing 10+ hours though...although, depending on his playing schedules, 10 hours of 3G play time is definitely feasible.

Maybe it's just me, but mine seems to break a lot more. I'll test it out later.

Actually, if someone could find the dev's post to the data per hour consumed, that'd be great. :)

g said it pushes a max of 1B/second, that's 3.6MB/hour max. when I used NQ's net monitor to test, it topped at 800bits/s, but was almost always under 100bits/s.
your iphone is doing other stuff at the same time.

I belive using wifi does not consume data. My network is AT&T. They send me a text when my data is ie 50% used. Here, read this.
AT&T Msg: You have used 90% of your 2GB data plan allowance. Any overage bills @ $10/1GB. Tip: Mobile Data is unlimited over Wifi.

That's what I was thinking what was going on.

Still though, those 300mbs are barely going to be enough to extract emails, play pandora & all that good stuff, so he can't just take PL as the only factor while considering 3G playtime.
