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.

They say you shouldn't say anything about the dead unless it's good.

"He's dead. Good."

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!

Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea --
massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a
source of mind-boggling amounts of sh.t when you least expect it.

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 :)

It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to
steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

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.

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.

Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.

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.
