Well I just applied it, and now I'm getting slower DL speeds. Before I applied it, I was getting 4.43Mbps, now I'm getting 1.59Mbps tops. My upload speed went from 0.65Mbps to 1.38Mbps, which really does me no good though. It was a bit worrying on the first boot as it took awhile but then it booted fine, I'll try rebooting again and see what happens maybe.

Edit: Rebooted twice, then powered off for a minute and back on, let it sit for 10mins, then tried again, and still am getting the same result. So I guess I'll be going back to the original services.jar, thanks though :)

Edit to the Edit: Okay, nmd what I said above. I was at work when I did that, and I assumed I was getting the same speed as at home, but I was wrong. It was only 0.7Mbps at work BEFORE I did the fix, so actually after I did it, I was getting twice the speed. So all in all, it DOES work, and I'm an idiot for assuming lol sorry
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dc2rjun:
It works.. I was close to 5 gigs, so I appliied the hack befor reaching 5gigs and did a 500mb download.then got the message from tmo saying im throttled. Makes my phone really unstable...has to be plugged in all the time or it shuts off!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] evil1art:
? I have never been throttled! I dont even have the option to view my data usage? Its an old unlimited plan before the throttle crap i guess?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daimonasx:
Update: Seemed to be worked great the first couple days, i was even convinced to use it as a hotspot for my computer, being the speeds were faster then my cable internet provider.

Today however, its only detecting as 2G, not sure what this means? So i unpatched for now, to see if I can get 4G back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Zspy1985:
Way to be a D bag.... I now live in a rural area where the only option is either satellite or dial up. I'm not going to pay $65-80 for some satellite internet where I can get perfect 4g coverage and use my G2x as a Hotspot.

I would like to say big thanks to those who made this hack possible.

Now my 2 cents on if it works: Flawless and speed has increased.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
Problem here!

I installed the services hack with no problem but for some reason I get this error "Sorry! The process com.android. phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." when I click on Mobile Networks. Does any one have the original "services" file from there G2x I can restore it with. Like an idiot I didnt back it up and copied over it.

Has this happened to anyone? I cant go into that setting now with out this error. I wonder if the dethrottling will work regardless? I still have to wait I only have 200 megs used out of 2gigs. I appreciate if someone would post the back up. Thanks my friends.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daimonasx:
As instructions said, Make up backup! But in any case, if you go back to page 4 or 5 in responses u will see someone posted the original, in this thread. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Your discussion does not sound like it have anything to do with throttling. Did you get a text message from TMo saying you were? What is your current billing cycle data usage, and what is your monthly cap?

Connection speeds on the network vary all over the place based on where you are and how much traffic is on the local towers. If you are in fact throttled - you will definitely know it, as speeds are not much better that dial-up (unless TMo has loosened them up to EDGE speeds recently).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
Just because you live in an area lacking competitive broadband services doesn't qualify the statement of "most people can't afford wifi."

In fact, most of the US population has affordable broadband access. It is 2011 after-all.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
im still waiting to be throttled to see if this works............

already replaced the service.jar now to download a bunch of files..... lol im gonna be so pissed if i make my self get throttled and it doesnt work.... oh well i got my brothers phone if that happens :)

im @ 4.2 gigs... so ill post tonight if it works....

seeing how this didnt work with the vibrant when i tried it i doubt ill be posting any positive results....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
No, I haven't been throttled as I recently just signed onto T Mobile, and I have the unlimited 4g plan, but I tried this because some noticed a major difference that didn't appear to be throttled at all. At any rate, I've noticed a speed difference, and I haven't been throttled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] luckycook82:
Just fyi, if you have a 4g phone, like the G2x, and you go over your 2gb or 5gb of data. They will only throttle you down to 3g speeds. If you have a 3g phone like the vibrant you will be throttled down to 2g. This was one of my first concerns, so I asked t-mobile. Every rep I've asked has told me the same thing. As far as the speeds the OP shows, those are 3g speeds, at least in my area, my 4g speeds avg 5mbps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
so your saying this

4g phone throttles down to 3g speeds

3g phone throttles down to 2g speeds

but what if i live in a area where there is NOT 4g.... the max i get on my G2x on speedtest is around 1700kbps down 1500kbps up

so because i live in a area that doesnt support 4g yet (prolly never will)

i will NEVER be throttled down to 2g speeds because my device is a 4g phone?

that will be very unlikely!

i bet it depends on if your in a 4G network area that when your throttled you will only throttle down to 3g speeds

and if your in a 3g network you will be throttled down to 2G speeds

BUT if that is the case that it depends on the device then WOO HOO!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
I got the text saying I've been throttled, but I still get decent speeds.

Taptalk won't let me upload the image, but I get about 2 mbps 'throttled.'
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
has this "throttle hack" worked for anyone yet that is in a "3G network" not 4G

cuz im still waiting to be throttled and tired of trying to get my self throttled lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] david279:
Could this be used on the g2 or can the change be moved over to the g2?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rickf2usa:
Other Phones?

...would this ,by chance, work on an HD2? I haven't found anything like this in HD2 forums. HD2s are capable of doing HSDPA or 3G+ ...and this may be a way to "uncork" it so that it will take advantage of the "bleeding-edge" upper categories of 3G, which is quite good. All the Build.prop mods just don't get it there. Any suggestions?

**If someone will put it up....I'll test it! You may become an HD2 god!! (there are still alllllloooootttt of people out there who believe one exists)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
i doubt this works for the G2x... so for it to work on the HD2 would be kinda hard....

i have yet to be throttled

im still @ 4.7G and ive been downloading tons of files......

my data is slower with this service.jar

(im in a 3G only area)

and cant see it working coming from a vibrant... data throttling has never really been cracked some people claim changing the APN allows faster "throttled" speeds but to stop throttling all together from a simple file switch will not happen... its on the networks end and im guessing replacing files to "trick" the network would work in a perfect world... but its doubtful at best guess
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
Yes I did.....this is why I said I was an idiot and forgot. Didn't you read MY comment! No worries I fixed it. Thanks for your help! psss
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
So what happened?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
Is this really working?

ONLY those who have tested it please give us your results. Does it work or not on the G2x? Please only comments and results for the G2x thx :).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
Well I posted earlier in the thread about how it seemed to net me faster speeds, even though I hadn't been throttled. I ended up having to exchange my phone (for the same one) because of some screen issues, and now I have officially been throttled. Funny thing is, I just recently got on T-Mobile, and I signed up for the unlimited 4g, yet after just 2 gigs they throttled me, that makes a lot of sense right? Lol. Anyhow, I'm going to install the file on this phone as well, though for being throttled, I'm still getting 390-400kb/ps. I was getting 550kb/ps+ unthrottled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] luckycook82:
BUT if that is the case that it depends on the device then WOO HOO![/QUOTE]

According to the rep on the phone and the one in the store it's based in your device. You'll never be throttled down lower then 3g. Do for you living in a 2g network you'll never see a lower speed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
The Tmobile deal for 79.99 plus there 11-12 dollar phantom taxes was 2gigs of 4G then it throttles back to what ever. If you have a G2x it should go down to 2G since what I heard it does not support 3G speeds. At the 390-400 speed does it say 4G on your screen? Let us know what happens after you apply the file. Thx
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
I got throttled while I was testing CM7. I haven't seen a speed difference at all. I still get 4mb/s on speedtest.

I never applied this patch... Only stock + paul's fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
LOL I want screen shots of this
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
I was still at 4g, even after throttling. I tether my phone to my computer through USB, and that's where I came up with the 390-400, though at times would spike to 500 again. Since applying the fix, it's where it was before, about 500-550kb/ps. Though like I said, it was still showing 4g after the throttle but before the fix..strange.

If that is true, then I guess patch or no patch, theoretically we would never technically be throttled, if it goes no lower than 3g, since our G2x only has 2g and 4g.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
For whatever reason, it won't let me change it R/W so it's not allowing me to paste Paul's fix in... Any ideas? I'm using Root Explorer and my phone is rooted, but I feel I have to be overlooking something obvious.

Thanks...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
Are you certain that Root Explorer has been granted Superuser permissions? Other than that I really can't see why it wouldn't allow you to change it to R/W.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Yep, I just checked in SU and sure enough, it shows permission. It allows me to change to R/W in several areas, but once I enter system/framework it won't remount to R/W. In fact in the system folder it won't allow it either.

I'll try to remove permission then allow again, if that doesn't work, I'll uninstall RE and reinstall. If any other ideas come to mind, let me know.:confused:

**Nope, after all of the above, still won't allow me to change it to R/W.**
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
Hmmm...are you running a pure stock phone right now, aside from the root? Or do you have any fixes applied or custom rom installed?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Completely stock, aside from being rooted. I plan on hitting up CM7 once a stable build is released, but until then nada... I have removed some bloatware earlier today and the WiFi calling sent my phone into a FC loop, but I rebooted it and had no more issues.

**I did root it using the superoneclick method thru RM as opposed to doing it manually. **
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hado_kev:
Try and dl a SSH program from market and manually replace the services.jar
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Can I get the entry I need to manually change it. I haven't done anything along those lines. How do I setup host, etc. Sorry, this is more advanced than I've done, but I'm excited to get into it!

I DL ConnectBot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
These are my speeds after (supposedly) being throttled. Haven't applied any patch or anything like that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hado_kev:
Not sure, I haven't tried it to replace the services.jar. I'm sure any SSH program will work.

I use winscp on my computer. host name is your phone's IP. user name:root and password is anything you set it up as.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
My SpeedTest results a few mins ago with the patch installed, after being throttled a few hours ago, and the text w/time details. So with the patch, I'm getting the same speeds I was before being throttled.

I just noticed that in the pic with the text, it shows 2g but it frequently switches between 2g and 4g in my house, so pay no attention to that. The speeds posted were when it was 4g.

Also added a pic showing the highest download speed I've gotten on my computer, through using my phone as a USB tether for internet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Solid! I feel more comfortable working from my comp so I'm going that route, also I'm not stuck using that virtual keyboard...

I'll update after I'm done.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
I wanna see results from someone in a 3g area.....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Well, no go. got the following error

General failure (server should provide error description).

Error code: 4

Error message from server: Failure

Request code: 3

I used SSHDroid on my phone and WinSCP on my comp. Gave superuser privilege and still, it's untouchable. Just can't break it's chastity belt.

I have to head out to work, after that back to cracking this problem. Any other ideas would be appreciated. It's got to be something w/the superuser not allowing complete control, could it be do to how I rooted it using CWM?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] zeze22:
Worked for me

I bought the G2x at a TMo store last week. The rep never mentioned the 2Gb cap at all, so I was very displeased to get the throttling SMS today.

I'm so disgusted with the bait and switch by TMo I have no qualms about taking back what I was sold.

I'm in Boston. My speeds unthrottled are 3 to 6 Mbps generally.

After throttling I was seeing as low as 10-20 kbps and 200 Kbps at the highest.

This hack worked for me, but I am still on the fence about sticking with he G2x, which I love, or heading over to Vz and picking up a TBolt. There's no guarantee that this hack won't be beaten by TMo, and then I'm stuck with almost nada.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
Thanks for the great comment. Your the first to actually tell us your results and your expectations of it. I'm in the same boat as you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
DFW is a 3g area, but that really doesn't matter since the phone seems to only operate in 2g or 4g mode.

I know what you mean about not mentioning the cap on an UNLIMITED plan, it says nothing about that in the plan details when you first sign up. The rep assured me there was no limit or throttling on the plan I chose ($79.99), but clearly that was false, as after 5gb, I was throttled.

I posted my results a few posts before that one, showing my speeds after I applied the fix when I was throttled.

Edit: So I did a stock recovery, installed just the obrien fix without installing the throttle remove yet, ran speedtest and now I'm getting 5.63mbps...strange! It almost makes me consider not re-installing the throttle remover fix, as I was getting about 4.5mbps with it installed, after I was throttled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mrtamerr:
Vz throttles to so be careful there like the cdma version of att...

yeah u have to read the fine prints or listen to fast talking guy on the commercial...i gave up 5gb on the no contrat plan same price to go on the contract plain cause didn't feel like paying 500 dollar the rep tried to tell me it would throttle down to 3g...i just smiled and said ok, cause i knew he was lying one rep already told it would be 2g speeds and the 3g-4g are wrap in to one on this phone...don't under stand that hmmm so are we really getting 4g, aslo when i switch down to 2g to save battery before rooting my phone still seem pretty fast guest thats the dual proc. showing off...word to the wise some time its good to know what ur getting into before you do...but i was also banking on xda bailing me out as they always do and with out fail...they have come through again...throttle that T-mobile
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
I had the same experience. I have the obrien fix and I have been throttled since last week...

I don't notice any throttling and I never installed this fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
What is the obrien fix?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] catalystcorp:
Ok, I stated before this is a fix to remove data throttle. One thing I suspect is the phone is the snitch, not the big T-MO in the sky. There are 7 throttling files removed, however when the files are removed before the limit is reached the message of being limited never came. I hit 7.66 gigs and never a peep. I removed the hack and a few hours later I got the message. Withnthat said:

1. Files removed phone can't snitch.

2. Files there phone snitches to T-MO. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
The G2x pre-dexopt fix..I just call it the obrien fix for short :)

And to catalystcorp, if this fix removes the files that alert T-Mobile that you should be throttled, then how is it in the screenshot it shows the message from T-Mobile saying you were throttled? I'm guessing that's because you removed the fix to test out your theory, then re-installed it again? I had this fix installed and they still throttled me after just 2gb of usage :/ I do agree with your theory, that it's what the phone sends to T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
To no avail.... I am throttled 68kbps download 132 upload.... I did get the text from T-Mobile..m ill post screenshots when I get home cuz taptalk hates me......

Must be cuz I'm in a 3g area... good try tho
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zmodp:
Maybe you should learn to read before you sign?

All of this is clearly stated in the service agreement that is generated within WATSON (wireless activation through seamless online network)

What do you think "EM 5GB WBConnect Ovrg Free" or "Promo EM Unl 2GB 4G DTT SPH" mean?

Or the section that states "Data plans may have throughput or other limits."

This can be found right below the section that makes the customer aware of the $35 activation fee and $1.41 regulatory fee.

Now I will grant that there are sales reps out there that will intentionally lie to a customer to gain a sale. This practice is unethical and needs to be corrected.

If that is what happened to you, I strongly suggest that you call Care and file a complaint against the sales rep. Then go back to the store, ask for a manager, and then ask the manager for the MM (Market Manager) email address.

Then send the MM an email stating that you were lied to, that you filed a complaint with Care, and that you are going to the BBB.

Force that lying f*#ker out of a job.

Oh - and learn to read a contract before you sign it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
Hey all, I'm thinking of buying the G2x in 1 month, I want it to have Gingerbread. I'm gonna get the 5 gb for 99.99 plan with unlimited Text and talk, that is if the special is still going. I hope the Hack will work then. Anyone with 2.3 and dethrottling with the services hack?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
It doesnt work for froyo for me atleast but iasked op to compile one for 2.3
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
I agree, in fact I think it's the phone that snitches on you about needing a new data plan, now if only I could find what needs to be removed to keep my phone from ratting me out...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tsalate:
I'm not sure how this fix is working or but I got my over the limit text and um still getting speeds around 3.6 mb on average but I was throttled a few other times with my vibrant and nexus s and my speeds were so slow I didn't even want to use the phones until the new billing cycle
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mastermindx85:
Does this work on cm7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daimonasx:
Well, I uninstalled the patch and went back to 4G just fine. I never got the trottled message people claim about, so I think it has something to do with thier area or plan, or maybe I just got luckly.

Speeds today, only getting 2G speeds while connected at 4G, so I still do think this patch *Does* something. Waiting for another release of it to come out for the newer roms. Will test again then.

I also got a service ticket in with tmo regarding the speeds, they are checking my towers as they claim I should be getting 4G speeds, so I figured I wait for that response before trying again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquariumdrinker:
For that matter, if the phone is the snitch, can T-Mo even throttle us if we're using CM? So many questions.

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mastermindx85:
Im running cm7 and they throttked me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquariumdrinker:
That definitely sounds worse than throttling. :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
There was a long thread on this a few months back in a different forum that went after these files, and then found and modified some others. It seemed to work initially, then nothing worked.

A TMo tech said they were monitoring the account usage internally on their servers, so even if you moved your SIM - the ticker continued to climb.

And the text messages continued to go out....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cavenger:
My God, being throttled sux.... 64kbps?? Are you kidding me? Why don't we just strap on a Hayes modem??... does this hack work??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cavenger:
This does not work... oh well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] luckycook82:
So do we have a list of working ROM's for this mod?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MadeeBee:
Anyone else having this issue?

Anyone else have this issue?

It took me a few days to even realize this was happening...

After making this update to my G2X, I was unable to get into Setting --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Network. It force closed and I never got in. It also disconnected my cell for a couple of seconds then the phone is able to reconnect.

This was the first update I made to my G2x after rooting and putting recovery - and I can verify after those 2 initial to steps Mobile Networks was still working.

Doing a factory reset doesn't help. I finally ended up flashing with TGA_Gunman's stock NANDROID restore of Froyo 2.22 to get that setting working again.

I did notice that everything was considerably smoother, so I would love to put this back on...

Can someone else who has this update check to see if they have the same issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CPerkins.RS:
Didn't work waste of time
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alfubig:
Yes, I have the same issue. An error message shows for com.android.phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MadeeBee:
Thanks, needed confirmation I wasn't the only one having this issue! I couldn't find this anywhere else. For I while I thought I just had a bad phone...

This will need to be fixed before I attempt this update again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
It says youcant get into wifi settings after you apply this in the op.... Lol this is why morons shouldnt be able to buy android phones
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vision77:
This is true...as I was throttled in march and nothing would work.....but in the middle of the month I changed my # and got a new sim card....and as a result full data speeds....Im willing to bet dollars to donuts that tmo controls this internally...
