[T-Mobile LG G2x] luckycook82:
Just got throttled today, 64k, what a joke. Called t-mo and asked why it was so slow (already knowing the answer of course). Told them, (and this is actually what happen) that not only did the rep who sold me the phone but the rep I talk to on the phone when I switched plans, both assured me when/if I was throttled down it would only be to the next lowest speed. In my case 3g. So I asked the girl, how slow is it supposed to go after the throttle down? Her answer without hesitation was "Dial up speeds, very very slow. ". She also told me that the throttle down is controlled by the engineering end. The reps can't do anything (aside from changing your number and giving you a new sim card apparently) to reverse the throttling or increase the speed. They claim it's to help keep data traffic regulated so it doesn't bog down. But honestly what is the point of services like t-mobile tv if we have to monitor how much data it's sucking down? Or if you're on the road and need your phone as a hotspot but can't avoid heavy use.

Anyway, I'm throttled now. however I didn't try this patch until after I got throttled because I couldn't get it working on eb 1.0.3 or cm7 nightly roms. Finally got it working on eb 1.0.2 but it apparently doesn't work after you've already been throttled.

But honestly, if it was going to work that shouldn't matter. Thank goodness I have wifi at home cause this sucks rockin 64k on a 4g phone. At least I know now. How the OP it's still getting those speeds after 10gb of data use makes me curious.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquariumdrinker:
Did they offer to sell you additional bandwidth for the month? I haven't been able to find anyone saying that T-Mo will sell you an extra 2GB or 5GB in a month when you go over. But I find it hard to believe that they would rather have us run at 64Kb/s than take an extra $20-30 bucks for additional bandwidth.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cavenger:
I totally and completely agree... 64K is a bunch of ****.... what I hate the most is I have to watch my data usage. I would probably pay up to $50 a month just to be unlimited.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BuCCWeeT:
OK, my question is this.. You say "Use this with the stock rom". What (STOCK) rom has the "H" (HSPA) logo? Every stock G2X rom I've seen has 4G, 2G, logos. Just curious. :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EmceeGeek:
LOL! The G2 and MT4G ROMS, for all I know.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechnoHippie:
Well this all really sucks...it looks like there simply is no way to bypass the throttling anymore - which really makes sense as I would assume this would be handled on their side as opposed to the phone sending the trigger to slow down the connection.

I do find it interesting that if you switch phone numbers you get another 5gig. So gee this seems easy enough - all we have to do is give everyone our google voice phone number and then switch t-mobile phone number and sim chip every 10 days (about how long it took me to eat 5gig)...haha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
I noticed that I'm only throttled when I'm on CM7. When I use stock Froyo or the leaked Gingerbread build, my speeds are fine. Any idea what's going on?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
+1 bump .....

Have you gone over 5gb when using the stock froyo or gingerbread??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] infinityhombre:
You do know it costs $15 for a number change. Right? And most T-Mobile stores will charge you for a new sim unless yours is damaged or tech support notes your acct. And how do you use over a half gig of data a day? Also just curious why is this thread still alive? Warez are not allowed on the board but defrauding your carrier is? Lol Just my .02.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechnoHippie:
Well I was unaware of the $15 charge.

It's easy to use 500mb a day - I stream pandora for about 90 minutes a day while commuting ...and heck you stream one 10 minute video from youtube there's 150mb right there...download a CM7 update every night there is 90mb.

As for the fraud the only fraud here is t-mobile for it's highly deceptive advertising practice. Furthermore I was told I'd drop to 2G or 3G - not freakn dialup.

I've about had it with this freakn "unlimited" word getting a new meaning by these creeps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MadeeBee:
Should be more explcit.

It actually says "Go to settings, Wireless & networks, mobile networks and check everything except "Use only 2G networks". (When you do this you will not be able to access this again.)"

This leads you to believe that the you only won't be able to access the "Use only 2G networks", not the entire Mobile Networks menu. It should be more explicit.

Also, "you will not be able to access" does not necessarily mean "you'll get a force close for the Mobile Networks setting".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] infinityhombre:
Sorry I didn't mean to come off as a jerk that was more of a heads up about the charge. In Ohio with tax it works out to like 16 bucks. Granted the speeds are slower but the use is unlimited. I think this was already taken to court and tmo won. It does state on the contract and the ads for the unlimited plan 4g not available in all areas blah blah blah if you don't select a data plan you're billed $1.99/MB blah blah data speeds my be temporarily reduced based on useage and network capacity. I believe it also states that the sim card is property of T-Mobile as well. Consider it the same as Cox or charter or time Warner selling you a 12 mbps internet plan. That's speeds UP TO 12mbps not a guarantee. T-Mobile views mobile broadband as a companion to your home connection not a replacement. Also keep in mind this board is full of power users and phone geeks the vast majority of users never touch 2GB so not many complain. But its not really fraud it says unlimited and it is until they turn you off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] luckycook82:
I wish they would have. But the Rep said once its throttled they can do nothing to reverse it. Very frustrating. Good thing I have wifi at home. Crap part was even using wifi most of the time I still managed to burn through the 2gb limit. And now I can't watch videos, stream my music, access my computer, or surf the web. My updates for Facebook and twitter still come through. And I can still chat through gtalk. But you don't realize how much data you actually use until you're cut off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquariumdrinker:
I ended up switching to a plan with a 5GB cap for the same price. I only get 500 minutes of voice, but that's still more than I use in a typical month (and definitely plenty when you factor in unlimited wifi calling).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cavenger:
Same here... i didnt even know I was on the 2gb throttle level because I am a new customer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tsheeley:
So, does this still work on the G2x?

I'm on the cheaper data plan... and I only got throttled once in the almost 2 years I had my MT3G. That was only when my internet went out at home and I tethered for about a week.

I just got my G2x a few days ago... so ignore all the MT3G stuff still in my sig.

+1 bump .....

The different ROMs should not be expected to work, but if they do - it would be worthwhile to confirm this. Then after getting throttled, you just flash over a different ROM.

Would be a good work-around if it can be confirmed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
no not true... dont matter what rom your on.. still throttled just flashed 3 differ ones to see...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mainmast2:
So, as far as I can figure out. This still has a chance of working if you apply the fix to the stock froyo rom before you reach the limit, right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Zspy1985:
From what I can tell yeah that's how it works and you can't apply after you've been throttled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] luckycook82:
I'm going to try again next month after my account goes back to normal
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sbcdave:
If this does work, why doesn't someone include it in a ROM? If that's possible someone should email this to cyanogen team
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pillzzberry:
Do you think this is also compatible with the G2.? Lolzz kinda too late to ask cause I'm bout to try right now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pillzzberry:
Nope. Didn't work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AndroidKills:
Well, thanks for this, i'm always scared to be throttled, but with this i don't need to fear!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
So I got the message saying I was going to be throttled (damn streaming TV show app) and I still get 4G speeds, and I got the message 2 days ago. I seem to get more 3G speeds than before (between 1 and 2 Mbps) but still get 4G speeds (4-6mbps). And I think I may only be seeing this because I am testing speed more. This is also the first time I have ever hit the limit, usually I am around 2-3 Gb of data a month.

And I haven't applied this patch.....so showing you aren't throttled after applying this doesn't prove much.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechnoHippie:
Which build are you on? What happened to me is I was on #13 without any patch - got the message and was fine for a couple of days and was up to 6gig. I put 17 on and poof! down to 60kps. Now I hadn't used the internet for quite a few hours prior to doing that, so perhaps I was throttled before putting #17 on and simply didn't realize it. In any event I'll be interested to see if you end up throttled within the next 48 hours or so....man I sure hope not cause this 60kps crap is 100% useless.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
Rooted stock. Thought I included that info. Oops
[T-Mobile LG G2x] drukqsMORA:
Yeah, 60kps pretty much makes my phone useless.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] awdlexusis:
What app do you use to UN rar the file?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lostcause247:
does it matter if the phone is rooted first? im getting my G2x here soon and this would be the first mod i would like to try,its like whats the point of having 4g if you really cant use it unrestricted. has anyone else had any luck with this on a custom/dev rom yet or does it have to be done on the stock rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] beatit327:
is there any way i can check to make sure this works???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
Yup read the whole thread....

Download/flash

Then get your self throttled...

And see that it does nothing
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justin13902:
I'm sorry for the dumb question.

Can someone shed me some light on how to do this number #7 please? "7. Close out of everything and go to Rom Manager and select "Fix Permissions"."

Do I download the Rom Manager from the market and select to fix the permission or there is a rom manager inside the root explorer that I should look for?

Thanks for the help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
Rom manager from the market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kpoeticg:
Lol its ok. Theres only one rom manager. Its the one on the market
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kpoeticg:
Oops i didnt refresh the page before i responded
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sbcdave:
So I am finally starting to use almost 5gigs a month so I decided to try this. I installed CM7#31 and then downloaded the rar, extracted services.jar put in on my sd, went to wireless options, but was worried about getting roaming charges from tmo, so I left it all blank, used root explorer to overwrite the original services.jar, rom manager fix permissions, reboot, and it stalled at the second LG that you get with CM7.

Pulled battery, booted into clockwork 3.0.2.4, wiped data factory reset, wiped cash, wiped dalvik cache and rebooted, still stalled, used my nandroid backup and started from scratch, with the same results.

Just now realized that the modded services.jar might be acting on the roaming options in some way, and that might be why it isn't working.

Any ideas? I've been sitting at the second LG boot screen for about 10 minutes now and assuming I'm going to have to nandroid restore again : (
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sbcdave:
So I nandroid restored again, checked all those roaming options on this time like it said to do, everything checked except the 2G box, then used root explorer to overwrite the service.jar with the new one I downloaded from page one first post of this thread, rom manager, fix permissions, reboot, stuck at lg screen : ( Hopefully someone that knows how to help sees this soon, I'm getin bummed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mainmast2:
Did you format /system? Just a thought.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sbcdave:
I'll give it a shot, just noticed in the first post it says at the bottom that this is only for the stock rom. I was just digging through the thread trying to see if anyone said that it worked for them on other roms but haven't seen anything yet.

Edit to add: That would blow because netflix only works on CM7

2nd Edit: Wait, if I format the system won't I be deleting the modded services.jar file I just put in that makes this work?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justin13902:
Thanks for the responsed. I was able to complete that step and just play the waiting game to see if it will work or not.

However, im now experiencing one problem. When i turned my personal hotspot on to connect my ipad and the ipad is not able to pickup the internet ftom my phone. Before i applied this modification everything was working perfectly.

Fyi, the ipad is seeing the tethering hotspot fine from my G2x and showed the proper dns and ip address, its just not connecting to the internet. Ive tried to connect my mac to it and it did the same thing.

Does anyone has the same issue as i do? I would like to have this problem resolved as the purposed i modified my phone to remove the throttling is for tethering and now my tethering is not working so im now stump.

Anyone has any suggestion, please shed me some lights. Thanks a bunch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bonnatron:
Has anyone been able to get this to work on CM7 yet because I know at the beginning it says it is for stock. I got it to load to the second LG screen and it freezes...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jgz4shez:
Doesn't work. Tried on stock rom and am averaging 50-70 Kbps downloads and 150 to 300 Kbps Upload. I've been being throttled for the last 4 days and am at 6GB of data used for this billing cycle.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechnoHippie:
Did you apply this fix BEFORE you were throttled or after? It's my understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that this works if 1) Used on STOCK ROM and 2) This is done prior to you being throttled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
In theory .... tried in @ 4.5Gb used with no results. This thread needs to be removed it doesn't work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechnoHippie:
Ok so today my billing cycle starts over (I even let it go until the service was turned off to make sure).

Guess what - STILL throttled at 60kps. geeze NOW WHAT? I will let it sit tonight & if it's not working at 4G in the morning - yet ANOTHER CALL to t-mobile.

I'm considering sending their A/P department a bill for the 34.5 hours I've spend on the phone with these idiots.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shadow666:
That's bad! I got my speeds back a day before my cycle started, don't know how that happened?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sbcdave:
Has anyone that did this for the stock rom and had it work, also figured out how to get netflix working on their phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lostcause247:
i have rooted and applied this mod to my stock rom,but i just got my phone the other day,so i haven't hit my 2gb cap yet. i tried several different methods of getting netflix to work on the stock rom with no luck,apparently people are reporting the netflix hack only works on the CM7 rom from what i read for the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] drukqsMORA:
I also got my speeds back yesterday and my cycle didn't start over till today.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechnoHippie:
Mine came back on the day after - perhaps it's because I live in Hawaii.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crx4xharder:
applied this to ultimate rom. Still have full 4g as of now, 10mbps down, but I'm not throttled yet. *#*#4636#*#* still works to change between wcdma only and prefered. Will post my results when I'm throttled...

Edit: scratch that... my sdcard took a crap and I got stuck in the splash screen after that... So testing from me lol back to cm7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
haha, good catch. that sure is interesting... works only on stock rom but the OP isn't using a stock rom??

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
Hey guys

I just want to know....what are all the OS's that can be ported on the nexus one (every different android maker os is a different os.)

I just want to know and if you could.....please put the link if available.

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Check out the Development section, count the sub-versions of each ROM found there, and you'll get to several hundreds of them.

Or just consider it one big OS called Android, in its variations. That will also be closer to the truth.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] can teh man:
Personally, I run Windows 7 on my Nexus one.

Oh, you were serious?

Bro, every "flavor" of Android is still Android. One Operating system, different versions or "builds" or whatever they're called.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
Then what are the different builds that can be ported and actually work.

The only ones I see are sense, CyanogenMod or MIUI....that's it?

What are others...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
those are the mains ones right now, and of course dont forget to include stock but rooted ROM, like modaco ROM. then there are many variations of cyanogen broken off and customized to make their own ROM.

last year there were many more ROMs, so it has died down a little. but generally its still very strong ROM community for the n1.

no other OS's work except android OS and all its flavors.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noisemonkey:
Enomther

Modaco
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuart.upton666:

NexusOne is not a PC desktop (you can installa windows or linux) it's a smartphone.
