Android police says that the way wireless tether works.. there is no way to tell if you're tethering or not without digging deep into packets.. deep enough that it would be invasion of privacy

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ignitros:
That's all good and well but there is definitely something going on here. I've run the same test same file all 3 ways once every 4 hours since my first post and at about 150-200mb downloaded my speeds drop to almost non existent and the same goes for files downloaded from Microsoft and Google among others. Downloading the same file from my home internet does not see this slow down at all. I've even tried letting it run for over an hour like that to see if it was something temporary. It seems to stay throttled down till I've let the phone sit for a few hours without using any data then kicks back up to normal speeds until I restart another large download.

Is there any way to do a more controlled experiment to see if I'm crazy, unique or what?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
yeah...backup your current rom, flash and restore your phone back to near stock (still rooted) and try without any meddling (custom stuff) http://www.multiupload.com/26WG1UZCXR http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009423

you also never mentioned what android version and rom you are currently using. if it's anything other than froyo, that could be your problem since nothing else is anywhere as stable (by stable, i dont mean "oh it works" i mean as in tested throughly and was put out for non testing release).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my_username:
Though the above suggestions stated above likely are the culprit, and will help you...there is also a chance that you are indeed being throttled occasionally. Infact, I'm sure we all have been. Verizon has several manned data centers throughout the state who monitor all the traffic happening, and can, and will, activately manupulate the speeds, thoroughput, etc depending on how conjestion things are. And yes, they can even pinpoint it on an individual level...though they rarely do that, tending to focus on what's happening on a more macro level.

I actually wasn't even aware of this until recently, but some guy who worked at Verizon who was also in school for that sort of thing let it slip when we started chatting for a second, to which he received a scathing look from the ***** manager, so that ended the conversation.

I was running DasBAMF 1.6.3 and I did return to stock without root this morning to try it out that way as well and I'm still seeing the same results.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Find someone else with a 4g device and have them download next to you at the same time. Only other option I can think of doing.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ignitros:
I'll try that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ignitros:
Update:

I got with a few friends and tried a few different things. 3 people with Thunderbolts and 2 with Droid Charge. 2 in Seattle and 3 in Spokane. The Thunderbolts rooted and running DasBAMF 1.6.3 and the Charges fully stock. We tried the download using 3 methods for the TBolt's (wireless tether for root, mobile hotspot and USB tether) and the Charges used the mobile hotspot.

We all downloaded the same files. A 512mb video file, 400mb zipped picture file and a 300mb document file.

My Seattle friends who have had the "official" 4G LTE launch had no issues downloading at all... 1 TBolt and 1 Charge. Download went smoothly and never throttled down at all.

All 3 of us here in Spokane saw the same throttling going on. Could this be more an effect of LTE not being "officially" deployed in Spokane yet? It's not supposed to be officially launched till June 19th but we've been able to access it for several weeks now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariol90:
I would say that's a possibility. I get around 130 kbit/sec down, and LTE was officially launched here in december but only at our airport. I've been checking for nearly two weeks now and it's stayed the same. the upload is normal, was 3.5mbit/sec today.

so um new to the forum as um new to the whole android stuff , cuz i just recently got the HTC wildfire S , so my biggest problem in life right now is , when are they goin' to release somthing that S-off the phone without XTC clip?

Thanks in advance =)
[HTC Wildfire S] ravijokhun:
Prolly never...only way for now remains the XTC Clip
[HTC Wildfire S] imlgl:
Yup. Same as above. alpharev team gave up and doesn't look like HTC are going to release an unlock.
[HTC Wildfire S] djxs:
Instead of buying an XTC clip for ~$100, why not just search around for a phone repair shop in your area, most have unlocking services too.

I got mine done yesterday for $25 and it only took a couple minutes. Finally I'm S-OFF'd and rooted. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] JohnAntoineG:
Thanks =)

thx guys , its a gr8 piece of device , but getting S-off is the only problem now , even rooting is possible (with S-off)
[HTC Wildfire S] undeadsoul85:
Don't see why ppl don't want to get S-off with the xtc clip since you can get it cheap with one credit on for one phone. I did it for the first time on this device. It's kinda straight forward, and there shall a lot til before you brick you phone.

Can't see a safer way. You use a battery on the clip.when you are getting S-off on the phone

[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
I don't think so, HTC didn't seem to be locking their bootloaders according to carrier demands. You can probably get a sim-free one and have it unlocked by a repair-shop, friend with a xtc-clip, etc etc ...

Hi, im here on behalf of my friend who recently owned a Wildfire S. (And running out of internal memory)

I had been reading most of the threads in this forum and got some idea but still clueless on some facts which i thought you could help me.

Well, without much more spaming, i understand we need a xtc clip to root the device and nothing else at the moment. My question is, can we flash any custom roms (if available)?

If so what would be the risk? (i mean flashing a custom rom without rooting might brick the phone)

A simple Yes / No should suffice as i can take from there by digging further on this forum

Thanks for your time

And you can't "flash" anything with a s-on locked bootloader/recovery.

All those questions are already answered by "digging" the forum.
[HTC Wildfire S] imlgl:
XTC CLIP = ROOT = CUSTOM ROMS

NO XTC CLIP = NO ROOT = NO CUSTOM ROMS

You need a recovery flashed to even be able to try and flash a custom rom unless you are flashing an RUU

News?!

Still no news guys?!
[HTC Wildfire S] m4rk84:
If you're that desperate to get s-off you can take your phone to any unlocking shop and ask them to do it with their xtc clip. It will cost around the same as a network unlock (which i imagine they also use the xtc clip for). I paid £20 to get unlocked from vodafone and to my delight the fella sorted the s-off issue.

Not only that, but when i asked him if i could use his xtc clip (before i realised s-off had been achieved) this fella told me i could use his xtc clip and his laptop in his shop to do it myself. i suppose i'd given him twenty squid for the network unlock, but he was surprisingly nice. Anyone near Gateshead Metrocentre, the phone repair shop opposite the new cinema is where i went. £20 is a good price to pay to stop endless, fruitless internet searches.
[HTC Wildfire S] ppatrick:
£20 for an S-OFF is a robery when the x-clip is $120 ...
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
HTCdev are nearly there so it's still not worth £20. May as well wait as the Wildfire S will be available for free unlock soon. If you think the list isn't changing, they just added the Droid Incredible 2 to it and the next devices in line should be the Desire S and then the Wildfire S.

So keep hopeful. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] imlgl:
That's only assumptions. They might not add any of the S line of phones. Also the Incredible 2 has not been added to the list. This is the newest device added S710d (China Telecom) which is the chinese version of the Incredible S.
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
True, and my mistake I thought it was the Incredible 2. Well, they did say they would eventually unlock all 2011 phones prior to September so I hope Wildfire S is there. :D

wait.. incredible s is an S line phone lol.
[HTC Wildfire S] subinho:
guys, atleast the list is increasing, was static for some time now. keepin my fingers crossed.

[General Questions and Answers] Awassenaar:
Hello everyone,

Right now I own an HD2, and I am very happy with it.

But my contract expires soon, so I will be able to choose a new phone. But the thing is due to some changes my provider made I thought I would be able to choose a phone in late august. Turns out I could object to the cnages and now I can get my new phone in june.

But now I don't have time to do as much research as I normally would. So that is where I need your advice. What phone would be a worthy succesor for my HD2?

I use my phone mainly for entertainment so for me important things are:

Large internal memory

Good sound quality

Large screen (preferably 4.3 inch)

Speed

Android

Also important is the ability to flash ROM's but when I pick a phone that is already able to flash a custom ROM, it is probably a slightly older phone. But when I pick a very new phone I would just have to hope that it will become popular on XDa and flashing will become an option.

So advice and opinions please!

P.S it even makes me a little sad to get a new phone... I had an Xperia X1 before my HD2, but I had an HD2 based ROM on it so I have been on this forum for a few years now and I've grown attached to it. Kinda pathetic huh? ;)

Oh I have mistakenly put this in the General forum instead of the HD2 General forum. So mods if you find this, please move my thread

Go into Settings, scroll down to the bottom, click "about" and then "more info."

The OS version should say something like 7.0.7xxx.0

Where those x's are; 7004 is the stock version, 7008 was the pre-NoDo update, 7390 is NoDo, and 7392 is the newest small update after NoDo.

If you have NoDo, you should be able to copy and paste text. This is unavailable before the update.
