Woke up this morning and tried to jump on the net via wifi hotspots from my G2.
I got a message saying I now need to pay 14.99 extra a month for wifi hotspots feature. I called T-Mobile and the rep said he has heard of nothing of the sort.
I tried on my wife's phone and same message.
Has anyone else got this? Was useing wifi hotspots 6hr before I got this message.

Are you on the stock 2.2 ROM? just wondering.
I'm on CM7 and I've been tethering sporadically every few days, a few hundred MB here and there. At most maybe 1GB per month and I dont have any issues.
What's ur data per month usage look like? That could be another thing, I rarely go over 3GB, usually keeping in the 2GB range.
Nope not on stock Rom. I've tried on stock/cm7/mexdroid/sense/ stock GB.
All get the same message.
Last month was the first month I went over in a year. I'm only at a little more the 1gb right now.

I just tested by connecting my TF to the G2 and all is well here. CM7.
I went to 4.5GB one time. I'm sure if they are viewing my phone's details, they can clearly see that I'm tethering. No problem yet though.
Try a thrid party app and not the built in wifi tether. I don't think that can be blocked out. I do about 4gigs a month and stop using pandora.

I had this same problem about a year ago. If you're over your 4GB limit, then it'll ask you to pay. If you're under you should be fine. Some TMo reps are uneducated about their jobs.

Nope just using normal stuff like Pandora and Web. Very easy to do. Done it 4 months in a row! 5GB is not that much buddies. Atleast it's not the New 2GB data cap. Could do that in a few days. Very easy with 4G data speeds service. One reason I haven't upgraded my plan or device. 2GB is a freaking joke!

i got 'throttled', for the first time ever, this month too. except i have the same thing, except i'm consistently getting faster speeds than i normally do. i'm normally in the 2-4Mbps range, but since i got the throttle text, i've averaged more like 5-7Mbps. now i'm over 6GB for the billing cycle. if this is throttled, can i has it all the time??

I got the 2g data plan and i already wasted and my internet slow as hell how is urs fast ? Any app that u using?
My Vibrant spent 5 months getting free internet from my carrier (orange) sadly it was just 2g because it doesn't work in the same bands as their 3g+
It was pretty funny for a while, but now it looks like they noticed lol.
ok guys looks like zeppelinrox the man behind the v6 supercharger script created another script called 3g turbocharger script..he says it improves 3g speed and from the comments it works..i havent tried it yet but if you want to see here it is.
edit: should work now.

I guess we can't all be as cool as "indirect"
ok so i just ran a speedtest, on my phone with the 3g and im getting 2139 kbs download and 380 upload, before this script, will update in like 10 minutes to see after this script.
after the script:
download 1335 kbs upload 644 kbs
so it made my upload faster, but download decreased by a full 800 kb/s ummmm no thanks!!
How can I tell if it is working, other than running a speed test? I'm trying to run this and the v6 script. Not really sure if I've done it correctly.

Be grateful for what you do have. At least you have some signal and the phone still makes calls.
During Katrina, only SMS & Nextel direct connect worked... sporadically. Calling in & out of the 504 area code was impossible. Once I was able to get to Atlanta, I was able to make calls again; though receiving calls was very hit or miss.
Well it is more or less a couple days after a hurricane....
They probably had some towers or main lines go down/knocked out

Verizon and ATT are fine in my area. Tmobile and Sprint seem to be the ones suffering (of course they are both the cheapest). Get what you pay for I guess.

Ditto.
For about a month or so it's been painfully slow here in southern CO too.
So bad that I can hardly use it.
I have been getting 100 kbps down and 200 kbps up here where I live. When I did a side by side test with a friend with a Verizon phone he was getting 1.3 mbps down and 400 kbps up. This is in central California.
Its been days now. Speed and signal has improved but still getting .03mbps downloads.
Sprint has me for another 10months =[.

So Facebook has the new update and I thought I'd go and see how they messed it up this time. So I go to the market and for some reason it says device not comparable with this app. Which is weird cuz I already have Facebook on my phone(who doesn't). Is it just me or can't all atrixes...atri..( don't know plural for atrix) get the update. Or is it all phones can't get cuz the update was pulled or something like that.

I never had problem with the update either. Facebook should be available for any Android device. Also, I think the plural would be Atrices. Seeing as the only word similar to Atrix is matrix.

I live in a smaller city on the border of US and Mexico so I new LTE was going to take a while. Last week I noticed I was getting it and I was surprised so I started doing speed tests and wow is our slow. Oh well I chalked it up to maybe testing in the area and whatever but it is not getting any faster. Here is a screenshot of my speeds and I know its accurate because when I do the test with wifi its accurate. What do you guys think?

I should be I grandfathered in. So to use LTE people need an unlimited plan? I should add that when I have gone to a bigger city (San Antonio) I did have LTE speeds.

check under your phone settngs and see what your signal strength is
your pic shows very week signal
go around your area and see what other speeds you get, might be in a bad area like me
try another speed test app, that one seems to take a lot longer to a host for me lately
I have asked, maybe you have passed the 5 gb they are slowing you down
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
If you are grandfathered in the unlimited plan, AT&T will throttle your data speeds down to Edge after a certain amount of data is used.
