V3 Razr: KB used?

Is it possible to tell how many KB were used, similar to the call-timer
counters?

I'm mostly interested in how much data has been transferred by the
phone's browser/email/etc, I can track my bluetooth usage.

There's a SEEMS edit that will tell you the amount of kb when you end a
web session. See:
http://www.xlr8.us/hofo/. The edit is at:

offset 4B - bit 2: Byte Usage Summary at End of GPRS Session (xxx bytes transferred) (1 on, 0 off)

I might try that -- Is there any way to automatically keep track of a
summary?

I don't want to have to add up the numbers manually, I'm much too lazy
for that (and I use GPRS a lot, I have AIM open constantly, and use
email a fair amount)

I signed up for a package large enough to cover the amount of data I was
transferring on my old iDEN phone (which did keep track of the KBs
transferred), but since I'm using IMAP rather then HTTP to transfer the
mail it's hard to guesstimate what my KB usage will be.

Worst case, I'll eat a huge KB bill one month and upgrade my package and
call it a learning experience.

Thanks!

Yes just click on the middle button on phone when the icons show open
the one that says recent calls, if it like mine should be top left one
select it then scroll to bottom you will see where it says data
volumes select it there you will see all data info

The timers are under the "Recent" menu

I'm only seeing "Last Call", "Dialed Calls", "Received Calls", "All
Calls", and "Lifetime", all of which are minutes, none are in KB.

That would seem to be the logical place though, and my years-old
Motorola iDEN phones all showed the KB transferred under the call
timers, so it's not a concept that Motorola is unfamiliar with

I don't have that on my phone, I just have minute utilization. Probably
time to learn how to upgrade

More likely a Rogers verses Cingular option.
The http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/manu...al9491A47O.pdf
V3 manual page 72 shows the list that I see for "Recent"
"Recent Calls
Received Calls
Dialed Calls
Notepad
Call Times
Call Cost
Data Times
Data Volumes
"

I'm missing Call Cost, Data Times, Data Volumes from the list. Likely
based on the carrier (And what an odd thing to hide)

Out of curiosity, how does the Call Cost thing work? Does it understand
rate plans?

The missing menu items can be turned on with SEEMS edits. Each carrier
specifies how it wants it's phones programmed. One of the easiest ways
to open everythin up is to reprogram the phone with the Motorola generic
flex with no branding. You can still edit to open or close whatever you
like.

My V3 is Cingular branded and I have them all except "call cost".

Yeah... I've just been hoping to avoid voiding my warranty for at least
a month, but I think I'm starting to care less and less about the
warranty.

I haven't looked but I wonder if the warranty even mentions any
exclusions for software changes. I would think that if it were a
mechanical or electronic defect it should still be covered since the
software version wouldn't be the cause.

Uh-oh, I lied. I copied that out of the pdf file. It looked right when I
compared it to my Cingular V551, but I don't have call cost.

The latest 'stock' V3 firmware (R374_G_0E.42.07R_A) has recently been
made available via MotoModders, so it's doubtful that a service centre
would even be able to tell that it was a DIY change.

Btw Bruce, how did your own modding go?
