Hey all.. am definitely a noob.. i was just throttle, i have a mytouch 4g(unlimited everything) so they say. they shouldve throttle my text msg usage rather than my hsdpa.. isnt there a / an easier way to unthrottle my data speed maybe with an app or doing something else.. i read up on the steps.. From the original listed steps posted it says you have to be unthrottle before you apply the change.. so it wouldnt make sense to try it.. my phone isn't rooted yet.. i was thinking about using visionary+... please, please help in anyway possible... at least something fairly easy... thanks
first things first, when does the new billing cycle start? if it's just a few days away, you may not want to dive into rooting if you are not familiar with it..
secondly, if you read the throttling thread, you will see a few had success of getting unthrottled after being throttled. Cant confirm this, but I would say worth the try..
New billing cycle start every 7th of the month....its just frustrating when i listen to Pandora or trying to download something, its soooo slow.. especially Pandora... i mean i was kinda embarrassed, because at my job i hooked up my phone to the speaker so when all can listen to music instead of repeated songs from radio... but it just started cutting the songs, slowing down and skipping... and yes i do have Pandora One...even if i cant do the service.jar mod, if i could just modify my phone a little and do get some data boost that would be lovely................
however, i also tried using visionary to temp root my phone and root explorer to modify the "build.prop" still no luck... but funny after changing the values after i reboot the numbers go back to the same....just frustrated....
Thanks for your response......
And a funny thing happened last billing cycle, when i was throttled down, A/(one) day before the new cycle started i was unthrottled, but what i did was something somebody did, the switched to edge(gsm) for a day or so, then switched back to gsm/wcdma auto.. and claimed it worked for them...i tried for about 2days and i did a speed test, found out my speed was unthrottled( and this was a day before my new billing cycle started)..
The easiest thing to do would be to upgrade your data package, I'm currently on a 10 gig/month plan. Also, store some music to your phone and play from that.
Lastly, use wifi when you can.
Hope this helps.

I give up... just going to deal with the disappointment.. anyway.. thanks all..
Just move over to Sprint. I used 10 gigs yesterday downloading torrents! Ha! Those build.prop and classes.dex solutions never worked for me and i was rooted. Save yourself the frustration. But maybe it will work for you some ppl had success.
i kinda try those two things but no real luck....but one thing i've come to find out is that it all has something to do with the sim card... if i can find a way to reset the data reading on my sim card then am good...yeah i still have a whole year before my contract is up...sprint seem to be on top of their game....
Nvm
-Figured i needed a signature for my phone. This is it......
lol...
well, ill keep trying things...i know there is a way to do this, not just on there end..damn
I also mean i'm open for ideas...things that have worked for you.. please post them...eg(changing apn, removing sim card over night etc)...thanks
Hey.. since most of us have already upgraded to Gingerbread and there's no official way to root your phone with gingerbread.. even with visionary etc... has anyone been throttled and how well does this app really work.(how many ppl have used it and can say it really works under gingerbread. thanks)> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16369920
tried it but no such luck on my end, but I used it after being throttled, will try again in the next billing cycle before being throttled
when you was throttled, did your speed get very low.. say 56k or you had some improvement?
no improvement just did a speed test I'm at 31kbps
I don't care what anyone say.. when they throttle you.. edge, 3g, 4g.. all gets throttled.

Stop using so much data is a good way not to be throttled. wifi is an option as well.
If you are sucking so much data that you use the 5gigs they give you a month then honestly you deserve to be throttled back. Trying to bypass the throttle will led to caps and more cost in the end.
Just my two cents.

Are you kidding me.. compare to someone in this forum who actually used 40+gb of data in a matter of one billing cycle and has 5gb unlimited plan..lol...the most I've ever used is 9gb of data...shoot. if am paying for unlimited I shouldn't be throttle.. just waiting for my contract to be over maybe.. just maybe ill switch to sprint..

you think it was the process that unthrottled you or is it a possibility they unthrottled you early? cause i need this i get throttled every month! lol last billing cycle idk what happened if they forgot me or something but i spent the whole billing cycle and half of the new one throttled i had to call for them to refresh it

yea im thinking same right now Sprint is the only one that gives true unlimited service but their rates are ridiculous. Im guessing tmobile got alot of complaints regarding their use of the word unlimited n leaving out the detail that its not really unlimited cause in the new commercial the guy who talks fast kinda like the fine print mentions the throttle after 2gb or 5gb of data its 20$ extra for 5gb. they got a new plan tho 49.99 2 lines unlimited everything might wanna look into it not sure if its only for first time customers or not but if its not im all on it.
Getting rid of the "premier customer", returns go from 30 to 14 days, upgrade moves from 22 to 20 months BUT upgrade fee goes from 18 to 36..... all these changes are probly because of the new iphone too.... f*ck sprint and the rest of em.

i like sprint (for now), dont get me wrong. but they are slowly hiking prices and axing services. they just got rid of unlimited 4g hotspot.... i think its only a matter of time before unlimited data is a thing of the past.

I'm not too sure about that. Mainly because every commercial i see for them is the
"We are sprint, we are truly unlimited" IMHO that's the only thing sprint has going for them, until the new iPhone comes out.
Sprint is still better than the alternatives though. Good customer service, awesome phones, etc. Everyone else has already done all this junk and gone to tiered plans so I'm happy that Sprint has kept their service as is for so long

Is there really anyone that uses unlimited hotspot? I can't honestly imagine someone just tethering their laptop, gaming device, ect with their phone ALL day. The only thing that bothers me with the premier loss is return policy.
It is bs. I signed up for unlimited. I should get unlimited. If I spend anymore I might as well just get internet in my house instead of phone. What is this power trip all the carrier's seem to be on? The power to giveth, the power to take away? The power to cancel my service is what they'll get. I don't understand why sprint would make a move for the iphone and sacrifice the biggest advantage that no other carrier provides. That in my mind would be the gold mine and I would squat on it. Unless they are all acting together to gain greater profit from the consumer because they are all not happy with the percentages, it makes no sense. It does make sense however that they would all drop like dominos to the power of apple. After all, they have as much money saved up as our entire government. Tell me that isn't f'd up. Tell me a company like that can't do whatever they want and manipulate the system. I'm sure if we new everything we would pull out our guns to stop it. Die for it. But, who will ever know. Our worst enemy will be loved like family due to secrets and manipulation as we all suffer unrecognized poverty and enslavement. But, we are many.... and the day will come.
Ok so this is like the 3rd freaking time this has happened. My billing cycle reset on the 6th and my data didnt get reset. So now im throttled 11gb out of 10gb. Wtf is the deal Tmobile?? I called them but they gave me the run around and made a trouble ticket. That was 2 days ago and the problem is still happening. Web is so freaking slow that most everthing is timing out! Why do I pay $60 a month for data that is screwed? Im so fed up I am about to cancel my service!

call them and tell them that, try to stay calm but be firm and annoyed, as I'm sure you are. They will redirect you where you need to go, probably give you some kind of credit to keep you. They are desperate to retain customers so you can get what you want and they will keep you happy within reason
Sounds like they're getting back at your for going without the throttling previously. I kid I kid. Although that really is strange though.

Funny guy here! Dont think so! Already called them again but didn't really get any where! Made another trouble ticket. Told them that I was going to cancel but they didn't seem to care.

It's happened to me before. They have TWO servers that read your data usage. On on their "back end" systems and, one that, connects to my.T-mobile.com and that stupid My Account, app. If they don't fix it, tell them you want a $50 credit on your account AND, THEN (still, even if they give you the credit) FILE A REPORT WITH THE FCC saying that this is the third time this had happened, and, because of a glitch in T-mobile's system not only, did you pay full price for a month of data that you didn't get BUT YOUR PHONE IS ALL BUT UNUSABLE FOR DATA INTENSIVE APPS.

Called back today and told them I wanted to cancel both of my lines and guess what. I told them im sick of my phone being throttled after my new billing cycle. So I want to cancel service. And they said hold on for a min. Then Tech Support got on the phone and said try using data now. And guess what? They FIXED the issue right then. WTF?? It was that easy for them to fix. And I sat here for almost 4 days with crap data service and they fixed the issue that easy. You got to be fcking kidding me. Why have me wait around for days to get the issue fixed if they could hit a button and fix it so fast! Now thats some bs. Why even make trouble tickets then. Man people these days!

You pretty much have to threaten to cancel before they'll expedite fixing a problem nowadays. Ah, customer service.

They didn't turn off their godawful image compression when I threatened to go to AT&T, so I guess they're not that desperate.
My data usage didnt reset either. Im on TMOBILE.
Im currently at 2.9 GB out of 5GB still. I may just continue until i hit the limit and then call in for a reset.

I'm probably a bit late to this post, (nearly 5 years) but my billing period always ends on the 15th, but I get my data back 12AM on the 23rd.
Been with them for 12years and had the same number. Trying to move to another carrier. It sucks because they only gave me till next week to port my number or I LOSE IT. Looks like I'm going to get a rinky dink phone until I can get a upgrade. Going to miss my Evo This number is on everything so I must do it. My business will suffer if I don't get this number.
I was up in arms but I am a firm believer in karma and I did tether and got caught so WTF am I going to do. In the letter it said you are "using it as a modem and tethering with out a tethering plan".
Just wanted to ask, can they really tell, or is it just data usage they are going by.
do you mind me asking what ROM and what tethering app you were using?
Sorry man, that totally blows. How much data did you blow through? I remember people getting letters after going through a few hundred Gigs a month.
Been tethering my EVO's for a couple years. First my EVO 4g with my laptop, now my "retired" 4g with my EVO 3d. I watch netflix and surf the web on my 4g. No problems yet. So...just how much data have you been using?

I'm using Derp 3d and I'm using wireless tether for root. In March I used 109gb and in April I used like 102gb. I use Hulu plus and I think thats the's reason. I've been doing it for 2 years with netflix, my pc and video games but just got hulu 3 months ago, and now this. SMH.
Most users don't use that much on a cable/dsl connection, let alone wireless.
I'd agree with sprint, that is excessive.
Just get the cheapest prepaid setup you can find until you figure out where you're going to move to.

Yea, that sucks. You were terminated more for the excessive data use than for tethering. Everyone who I know of who had their contracts cancelled for tethering were also using large amounts of data. They likely would have got you even if you were paying for it, as were many of them. They just used the tethering excuse to try and make an example.

"can they tell?" interesting question... Did you use HTC DEV to root your phone and can Sprint track downloaded apps (wireless tether) from the market? They could probably track those and put 2 and 2 together.

That is why you got cancelled. Is that all 4g data? Because if it is 3G, even at 1MB, it would take you 12 days of constant downloading to get to 109GB of data.

As said above that is really excessive so most likely it's not more of a They found out but more of a Using Way to much data and so they cut off your data.. Now as how they found out.. Most likely they assumed that its basically impossible to use that much data on a Phone no matter how hard you try.. But most likely it's labeled "illegal tethering" For the fact that if you have unlimited data then they have no real reason to cancel your contract other than for illegal tethering if you don't have tethering on your contract.

Unlimited Data is not "Unlimited Everything"
According to your Sprint terms and conditions, you have unlimited email, pictures, internet surfing and messaging, as well as NON-CONTINUOUS streaming of videos, downloading, and online gaming.

To Tell the truth it's illegal and I did it, not much I can say or am going to say. My girlfriend is a lawyer and asked if I wanted to go that route. No because I feel stupid trying to fight something I did although I get free legal service it seems like a waste of time.
Am I pissed I got no more free internet....hell yeah LOL what do you think. I'm not rich but not hurting for money either, so in hind sight it seems not worth it lol. I guess with Hulu wither I paid for the hotspot service or not it wouldn't have made much of a difference.

I'm sure the reason for this is the recently announced Dropbox video streaming. Now its very easy to upload all your media to the 50GB space, then stream it whenever you want without having to sync/download. It's like Google Music for videos, except it uses 10x the bandwidth.
Carriers are NOT happy about that because they can't charge you for it. Both VZW and ATT have lots of people with grandfathered unlimited data, and most who never come close to the bandwidth caps. So they are trying to prevent this.

HTC stopped including Beats headphones with their phones a few months back. That's across their entire catalog not just in the US.
While this would not have stopped me from purchasing the phone, I'm pretty frustrated and feel cheated because Verizon decided to drop something that the phone was presumed to come with, and without notifying customers whatsoever that they opted out of the otherwise standard promotion.

If that's Verizon's thinking it makes me question what percentage of their customer base still has the unlimited plans. While people with unlimited plans can abuse something like this I have to believe that the people who don't have unlimited far outweigh those that do. Furthermore 50GB of easily accessible storage seems like a good way to induce people into data overages.
Not sure if anyone saw this. If you purchase a S3, Dropbox is offering 50gb of storage for free for 2 years. If you purchase a HTC One X you get 25gb of storage for free for 2 years. So you can tell Verizon and AT&T to stuff it because Dropbox is being the nice guys here.

I think we should protest against this. I'm definitely going to ask about this, and if Sprint/TMobile had any sense they would advertise this.
There's little chance this decision will be reversed but we must fight.
Ok ATT One X gets the 25GB promotion but not the SGS3? Wow can't even say how much i hate all carriers...they control too many things. Im happy to have the international version and ill drop by their store flaunting my sgs3 and show my middle finger to them

Sucks that this happened for all the people that planned on using this, but it doesnt really bother me as I had no interest in using it.
OMG! I didn't care so much before. Now I need it and can't live without it. I never knew how much it would mean to me not to have it.
All kidding aside, it would have been nice.

Same here. Due to Dropbox's shady business practices and ever changing ToS, I never planned on using them.
