LOL ^^^
Its supposed to be All You Can Eat. It is also 4 times faster than my wifi (Normally)
I think the slow speeds are for 1 of 2 reasons
1) CFW - Maybe wrong settings?
2) I started downloading quite a bit from home yesterday, so I would have been high use on this mast. I normally travel around (Lorry Driver) with Google Play Music on instead of FM. All streamed at HQ
Never had a problem, must have been me mullering it last night that caused it - if thats the case.
Anyways, no option to turn it off, or raise the warning limit, cant "Disable Notifications" either
I know you could turn warnings off on my old S3, must have changed on 4.3 or 4.4

Three's P+G settings vs Pay Monthly have issues - way to test if you have the right APN settings and I'm deadly serious - head over to a porn website, if it lets you browse and loads fine then you have Pay Monthly settings. If it blocks you then you have Pay and go settings and it'll need changed

Data usage help

Ok can someone explain to me how I have accrued 25 megs of data according to Verizon in the last 24 hours but I have been strictly on wifi. I am worried cause when it goes tiered I will need to focus since I average about 20 gigs a month.

So your saying as soon as your phone is turned on, its on wifi & not 3g?
I checked my data yesterday then I turned on wifi and never turned it off, and it went up.
Droid X requires unlimited data, so it doesn't matter. If verizon changes your data cap, you will be able to cancel your contract (and keep the Droid X), or get grandfathered and keep the unlimited data.
How in the world does one use 20gigs?? That's crayzy! Im on my phone all day everyday, and it was te same when i had my dinc. I have never used more than 2-3 gigs of data

Well when I'm in my car I am streaming music. When I am at work I am either watching video podcasts or slingbox. But when I am home I use wifi lol. I can only imagine what the number would be if I didn't use wifi

Totally! I can't comprehend burning through that much data in a month. I think one would have to be downloading torrents consistently every day to pull something like that off

Welcome to 21st century data usage. As video gets to be more high definition, this is not a lot of data.

T-mobile can tell that I am tethering?

Got a text message that I have been blocked from using wifi tether. On a fully unlimited plan with t-mobile. I realize that normally you have to pay for wifi tether, but I am on CM10.1 so I didn't think they would be able to tell? I had Verizon in the past with wifi tether on my Galaxy Nexus and used it a lot without a problem. Is t-mobile more strict or what?

I've tethered plenty of times on Tmobile with no issues, don't even bother to change the useragent on my browser when I do. Sounds like you've been doing it either very frequently or using excessive bandwidth and they caught on to you. Knowing it's a service they charge extra for you coulda been more careful .

Oh yeah they can tell. I got a push text (not a normal one) on my cm10.1 yelling at me about tethering, only after 30 seconds of viewing a webpage. I was able to use my hidemyass vpn and not a peep.

According to Data Usage in Settings (I assume it is all reported under Tethering and portable hot spot? Or does it also report as browser?):
This month: 140MB
Last month: 334MB

I'm wondering with the 500mb of tethering included with unlimited if they are going to be doing good less random checks. Have you thought about switching to or making sure your on the new plan?

Use a vpn tmobile packet sniffs your browsers user agent so say chrome for Windows pops up on their tower that's how they find out

Change your browser's "User Agent" (addon/plugin) to android or some other mobile device. That way, Tmo will think you're using data on your mobile and you won't get flagged for hotspot tethering.

Thanks guys, I've installed an add on to Chrome on my desktop and changed by user agent to Chrome/Nexus 4. Tested it out on a wired connection and most web sites seem to be going to the mobile version, so I think it is working.
However, it looks like as I was experimenting trying to get around the block, they have completely disabled tether all together. Got another text that said wifi tether was been blocked. I can connect, but before I was at least getting a t-moble splash page. Now I get no internet connection at all. Hopefully they re-enable in a few days or by next billing cycle.

Does anyone know if Koush's tether app gets around this?
And what about using a VPN, is that a solid solution?

It should be or it could be my luck, my idea is. If tmobile can't see your packets then they can't tell what you're doing

Hello my fellow At&t and sgs4ers

So just today I made the switch to at&t from sprint. Very happy so far, minus what I had to put down (let's not go there)
But I got the 1gb plan and was wondering what everyone else has. cause I'm on the edge of deciding wheth 1gb was enough. I guess it depends on usage of course. But while I was on sprint I usually barely go over 1.2 gb.
I guess I just have to be extra careful. Do you guys have any thoughts or tips?

2gb just to be safe...
I am grandfathered into the unlimited plan...
It depends on your usage. My MIL had the 200MB plan and never had a problem.
My advice: Don't stream... anything. Use wifi as much as possible. Set your data usage alert so you know your usage before you go over.
I would say it depends on your previous phone. I just switched to AT&T to get my S4 as well (and regrettably but knowingly lost my unlimited plan) With my last device a Verizon HTC Incredible 2 (a 3g device on an unusualy slow Verizon connection), I would average 1.5GB a month 3-4. If I had to be away from WiFi.
I noticed with the GS4 being much faster and the faster LTE speeds, I can browse and pull data faster. If it weren't for my WiFi connections I'd be over 4GB already and I've had my S4 for 2 weeks now. I am sharing 4GB between 2 lines.
So I would definitly think about your previous phone and wireless speed in comparison to your S4.

I also kicked up juice defender for when my phone is off. Hopefully if it getd to close I'll be able to bump it up to the 3gb plan

I wouldn't use JD might use background data no? I stopped using JD or task killers long ago they make things worse. Like said above use WiFi as much as possible and set your mobile data reminder under data usage to like 800mb it will then warn you. Also pretty sure you can set a. Actual data limit in there too...

I know I own the app but stopped using it because it is worse for battery and data consumption vs being diligent and manually changing things. Or using NFC tags to turn things on/off

I have unlimited and usually use ~2 - 2.5 GB a month (I stream Plex and Music often). Some months have gotten over ~5GB... but as suggested use Wifi if your concern about data and do not stream.

Wifi connectivity problems

Im having trouble staying connected to wifi at home, it stays connected as long as im in the living room close to the router but when i go into the bed room which is about 20ft away it disconnects and then reconnets several times. The router connection is 5ghz and only me and my wife use it.

First, make sure you've turned off "Auto Network Switch" in the advanced section of Wi-Fi settings (go to Wi-Fi settings and press the menu key and select advanced).
Second, turn off WiFi Power Save mode in the ServiceMenu. Go here for directions.
I done what you said i entered the codes you said to enter on my dial pad and it didnt bring up anything no services menus...nothing. but i did go to wifi and then advance and unchecked the box you said to uncheck and waited to see if it would kick me off and it did it still kicks me off wifi while im in my bed room.

If you're rooted, you'll need to go to /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu....
Open the HiddenMenu file in a text editor and change OFF to ON
Maintaining capitalization of the word ON
Save file.
Then reboot. Try those dialpad codes again.

Dial pad codes worked like a charm went in and changed the band to B4Enabled*. Now im gonna hang out in my room for awhile and see if i get kicked off my wifi. Thanks a bunch for you help i just hope this works oh and yes i went to text editor and then carrier and deleted OFF and replaced it with ON then restarted my device then went back into carrier to make sure it saved and all is good. Just hop it fixes my problem. Thanks again.
Now i need to tryn figure out how to make my call signal better....lots and lots of fun this phone is
When it kicked me off before it took awahile before it would connect back. While in the process of typing i got kicked off but connected back veryfast. Strange because im only about 15ft or so away from the router. I have noticed a big difference though, before my bars would fluxuwait from 1 bar to 5b now it usually stays at 5.
Anyother suggestions i can try
Go into your router settings and check/change the frequency(2.4-5) and the broadcast channel to match what the phone is using
Turns off the power save mode worked for me. Thanks. Now I don't want to flash to a custom to anymore. Thanks.

I downloaded speed test.net and checked my down & up down reads 10.92m and up reads 2.23m but when im downloading a file say its 1.25g it slows waaaay down to like .94m is it supposed to do do that?

12mb/s is a pretty slow speed. It's going to take a long time to download it. When you're downloading a file the speed you see is Mb/s not mb/s. Megabytes and megabits are a lot different.
AT&T service person came out today and upgraded my internet, from 3megs to 12megs. I asked the tech how fast it would download a 2g movie his answer was, " it should take about 15 mins at the most". Wireless is just a f#@$in scam the co$k [email protected]$!ers will tell you anything so they can get ypur money! The highest they offer in my area is 12megs funny thing about 15 miles from where i live they offer 50megs. Its just a rip off!!

Tmobile cracking down on tethering

Going through a vpn doesn't seem to work anymore. If you're not rooted the hotspot data on the TMobile Myaccount app still increases even when your tablet uses a vpn. And they sent me a message saying hotspot data getting clise to 5GB. Though I used like 40GB already?
Anyone else have that hapoen.
