How could it possibly be good? You're being throttled back to EDGE speeds for the rest of your billing period.

You cant do anything about it, you will be stuck on slow 2G speeds till your next cycle.

You should try cskigen's throttle patch and see if it works. Its posted somewhere in the royalglacier thread. Ivr got it on my phone but I havent gone over 5 gb this month yet so im curious to know.

I wonder if its from flashing a diff radio bcuz I never went over 5gb

I guess I just have good luck... Never got that message, and for this month Im sitting on 6.37GB. I did however get a call from the ISP the other day. Basically they wanna know what Im using to eat 2TB+ a month.

I'm pretty sure if you have a grandfathered data plan before they began throttling at 5gb you don't have a cap at all. How long have you had your data plan?
Edit: I'm pretty sure it was a T-Mobile CSR that said in here there is a checkbox on your account for throttled or not and if you had a plan before they began throttling at 5gb they didn't throttle you.

No telling, I've been with tmo since the powertel days. Im paying 20.00 for "unlimited android web" on the 3000 minute promo plan.

YouTube videos take forever

Idk if this has been covered because its been a while since ive been on here but I was wondering if anyone else has problems when viewing videos on the youtube app?
It takes some videos minutes to download and some just never do. Does anyone know a fix?
Im running srf 1.2. Thanks!

The fix is..... switch to verizion... they bought all the towers sprint couldn't afford to keep up, atleast where I live and work... unlimited data isn't so cool when you can barely even use it

the only problem is the 2 gig cap. a friend of mine just got his first android on vzw and signed up for a 2 gig data plan. first month used 8 gigs just enjoying his new gingerbready goodness. they waived the overages that month, but when he did it again the second month, he got hit with 60 dollars in overages. 10 bucks per gig after 2. he is now at the point he is thinking about selling his droid3 and going back to his envy touch or whatever because he cant deal with the caps.

You need to get a different driver for the radio.
When I had the epic I had the same problem.
After flashing so many radios the driver from the last update on froyo...only one worked for me.
Also the one from the first gingerbread leak also worked.I forgot the version as it was a while back.
Ulllllllllllltttrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

International Note GT-N7000 detected as smartphone on AT&T

So, just found Out today that we can no longer get non smartphone unlimited data (Media Net) for $10 per month. It comes up as the Note and is forced into the 300mbps plan or 3gb plan. Just wanted to post this here.

I agree. Its only a matter of time before they catch up.

AT&T capping their data on i9300

for 4 years now I've been on medianet, using international Samsung phones, today I got a message .. guess we can cross unlimited and cheap data off our 'benefits of owning a i9300 on att'
AT&T Free Msg: This is a courtesy reminder that you have used 90% of your 3GB data plan allowance for the bill cycle ending on 10/12/12. Any overage is charged @ $10/1GB. Learn more at www.att.com/dataplans. Tip: Mobile Data is unlimited over Wifi.

If you have been using media net for four years why are you on the 3 GB data plan, instead of the unlimited plan?

That's because we paid a much lower rate of either $10 or $15 for unlimited data.

At&t won't let you keep your current plan if you buy an LTE phone. You must upgrade to an "lte" data plan, which are only offered with 300mb, 3gb, and 5gb limits.

not sure if you guys are understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying, out of nowhere they switched me over and started capping me all on their own

See the thread in my signature, there is already a fix for it that worked for me.

Dang - so do they have the IMEIs for the i9300s?? How'd they switch you over? Unless you're a really heavy user and they just figured that no phone on MediaNET should be consuming that much data as they're all dumb phones right?

At&t promotion ends at 11/30/2014

I just change my share plan from 10GB to 15 GB free of charge. At&t giving now 15GB share plans for price of 10GB.. If you have 10GB share data on your plan just go to your At&t account on line or store and change. https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/data-plans.html#fbid=rXgfsSx3hyR

I already knew, and upgraded day one. But hit the tanks button in my appreciation of you making sure no one missed this upgrade freebie.

We received an ad for this, but it said terms and conditions apply. I dunno what's in the fine print, but it can't be good....

I just called AT&T Customer Service and got them to change my plan. 15 gigs for free! Totally worked! Thanks for sharing this!

No different then the terms for my 10gb plan (or probably any size data plan) and this is for share plans only.
If you already have a 10gb it's a no brainer. If you been considering adding data this is a nice incentive.
I actually finally have up my unlimited data plan for the 10gb plan just a couple of days before this offer became available. Did so for three reasons:
1. Unlimited data = fast data for 5GBP and then unlimited SLOW data. Went over once but no fun. Music streaming was ok everything else was frustrating.
2. It includes unlimited calls and text before I had 700 minutes and 200 text. I never came close to using those minutes (had like 7000 roll over minutes), but 200 text was an issue.
3. It was cheaper by about $20 to my old plan.
So when the offered 15gb on my 10gb plan I was very happy.

anyone know if this is available for the 4 line family plan?

Thanks man. Updated mine from 2 to 3 GB for the same price.
