[HTC EVO 3D] ginomerino:
Hey guy's I bought my evo 3d off craigslist it was working fine few hours later i start getting f/c when i try to set my notification tones, htc hub, sometimes camera app as well. now recently it's gotten worse? freezes to a black screen when i try to open the phones dial pad "lights on the buttom stay lit tho.. or when i open my app drawer it either freezes where it won't recover or randomly shuts off? does this about 5 - 8 times a day! plus with moderate use IE: lil web surfin on wifi, browsing market on a full charge the battery hits the 15% mark within 30-45 minutes? its flashed on metro pcs but it had this prob before it was flashed...

any ideas? is it possible to wipe out the entire phone and re-install the OS and UI etc.. does it need root access for that?
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
Go to settings/sd and phone storage. There is an option for factory data reset that should put the phone back to factory, and you may need to re flash to metro after

Otherwise, you can run an ruu
[HTC EVO 3D] ginomerino:
I did a factory reset before I had it flashed, is a factory reset the same thing as wiping out the OS and re-installing it?, kinda like a reformat for a pc?

i'm worried that it's not a software issue since i already factory reset.
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
No, but on every reboot, anything that factory reset doesn't touch is restored to factory anyways because of the s-on protection. Only other choice is to run the ruu
[HTC EVO 3D] ginomerino:
Any idea where I can find an ruu for my device? I was told I need a stock recovery image? sorry I am new to this any help pointing me in the right direction would help.
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
On my phone, but

I believe this is the link. Just plug your phone in to your pc and run it. This is for a phone without any updates installed, if it gives you a boot loader error you will need a newer one (they're in the dev section here)
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
I'm having an intermittent problem where the apps which have been moved to the SD card often (but not always) disappear. They do not show up on my launcher (ADW) and I am also unable to install or update any apps. I haven't seen anyone else reporting a similar problem, but the weird thing is that the same thing happens on my daughter's Epic. Here's what I do know:

1. This only happens with Froyo ROMs. It was happening on my phone with SFR 1.1. I installed a Gingerbread ROM (Swiss Cheese Samsprint) and it went away. However, my daughter is on stock (but rooted) EC05 and the same thing is happening with her phone. Additionally, I installed Urban Inception (a GB ROM) and did not have the problem. But I missed the speed of the custom kernels, so I returned my phone to Froyo (this time SFR 1.2) and the problem is again recurring. So, it seems to be 2.2-specific.

2. I have used Odin to return to stock several times, that has not resolved the problem.

3. I have formatted my SD card (once using Windows and again using the format option on my phone) and that has had no effect.

4. When I boot my phone, the apps on the SD card do not show up in the app drawer. After a few minutes, they often appear, but not always. Again this is true on both my daughter's phone and mine, but only with a Froyo ROM.

5. The phone will usually get through two or maybe three new app installs or updates, then all the rest will fail until I reboot. Again, this occurs on both my and my daughter's phones, and only with Froyo. It doesn't matter if these are market apps or Amazon appstore apps. Once one update or install fails, nothing else will install or update until I reboot the phone.

I suppose I could solve my problem by going with GB, but those ROMs are so much slower than the Froyo ones with custom kernels. Also, I like my daughter being as stock as possible, because she won't mess with her phone and can't always give it to me to fix. I doubt it's a hardware issue because we both have it. But, it also doesn't appear to be a ROM issue, since we have different ROMs. Since it's obviously not common, it must be related to either an app we have installed or something strange that I have done (though her phone has nothing done to it but the one-click CWM 3.0.0.5/6).

Anyone have any ideas for me? I suppose my issue will resolve once we have official GB and custom kernels start appearing for it, but I thought it was very strange that I have two phones that both exhibit a problem that nobody else seems to have.

Thanks for reading all this.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
This had been happening to me for a while too. I don't have as many apps anymore and keep it all in the phone and noticed better battery life but still want to be able to use apps2sd
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
Stock sd's?

cd's or tapes?
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Yes, on both phones.
[Epic 4G General] flatspin:
I just noticed this yesterday. I saw Angry Birds had updated but I didn't get notified in my market. The app was still in my launcher though. Don't know if it matters but I hadn't played it in a long time.

Reinstalling worked and didn't lose any data.
[Epic 4G General] phdeez:
I've had this problem too on the MidnightRom v5.2. It's especially annoying when my kids want to play Angry Birds and they are all installed to the SD card. I have "fixed" the apps not showing up in the App drawer by creating shortcuts on one of my home screens to the apps I have on the SD card. When the apps don't show up in the App drawer, the icon on the home screen looks like a generic "Android installed app". The apps I have on the SD card are: apps that came with my Rom (Video Editor), Apps installed from the Market and Apps installed from the Amazon App store.

*I've noticed* it's more common the icons don't show up in the App drawer or have the wrong icon if I unlock my phone before it completely boots (finishes the Scanning Media twice in the status bar).

edonnelly- if you are "missing" an App, try creating a shortcut for it to see if it's in the Applications list. That way at least you can launch it if you reboot and the app isn't showing up in the app drawer.

schnowdapowda- I'm also using my stock 16gb Samsung microSD card, and I've also formatted it with the same results.

I just got me one...so far it's pretty decent. Anyone here with a Fasci got one? What's your experiences with it?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
FULL CREDIT FOR THIS APP GOES TO "untermensch"!!

Note that ^^ that number is an average out of 10 tests. I know these tests arent very accurate, but theres a big difference between 760 and 56 :)

The reason I am posting this here was because this app is buried very deep in an old thread, and located nowhere else. So the only way people would find it would be if they knew it was there.

I'll start off by saying that there is much speculation as to whether or not this app actually works (even by the developer). However, it poses no threat to your phone either way.

I decided to post it because I used it for the first time and it seems to have worked for me in avoiding being throttled.

It's a very simple process:

1. Install the app.

2. Immediately open the app and press "reset throttle"

3. Reboot

4. Hope you dont get throttled!

*i would recommend doing this at the BEGINNING of every pay cycle*

It's been said that this should be done BEFORE being throttled, so I do it at the beginning of every pay cycle as a preemptive strike. I've had it on my phone for about 4 months, but have never used 5gb, so I had no idea if it would work.

This month was the first time I've gone over the 5gb limit since downloading this app. I received the "you've been throttled" text message, but my speeds havnt slowed.

Anyways, thats about it. Remember, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK, BUT THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO HARM IN TRYING. I was skeptical, but I finally got results so I wanted to share with everyone.

UPDATE 09/13/11: So based on feedback from members in this thread, and the fact that I have been throttled the last two months in a row while ussing this app...i think its safe to say that this is not a method to avoid throttling. As you can see above from my screenshots, i had good reason to believe that it was, however I guess I mustve gotten lucky that month and dodged the throttle bullet.

I will leave this thread open, with the download link, just in case any developers ever feel like messing with it to see if they can get something going. Until then, happy data-ing, and down with throttling!

Post feedback if it helps or not.

Rarely do you get throttled right away.especially if you have been with tmo for a long time, they throttle you at 10 gbs. there is no way or if throttling unfortunately. I didn't get throttled until 10 gb.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ipetloudog:
10 bucks says this ish don't work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] fear676:
Doesn't matter if it works or not its a good find! If you don't need it don't use it!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] duboi97:
This doesn't work ... I tried this back in the day when it was newly released and was throttled that month . I quit using this app long ago.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] d_phekt:
I can confirm that it did at one time work... until tmo caught on.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dattack:
Seems like anything that would be done on XDA would probably be monitored by Tmobile employees no?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Master&Slave™:
Excellent find TS
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
Guys, i said it twice in the OP.....theres no guarantee it will work. if youre skeptical, hit the back button on your browser.

just remember, i didnt just dig this app out and post it before seeing if it worked.

it happened to work for me. if i find a solution to being throttled, youre damn right im gonna post it for everyone to try......because the whole throttling/"unlimited data" is horse****

will it always work for me? i dont know. will it work for everyone else? i dont know. should people who have throttle problems try a possible solution, especially if its harmless and could work? absolutely.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
updated OP with screenshots, to prove that it worked for me
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Bluejay913:
Thanks for the info. I'm going to try this out and will report if it works 4 me. Worth a shot if it can't hurt
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
No problem man, I hope it works for you

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] duboi97:
Sorry about this not trying to troll but... and I never used the app + I've been switching around roms as well.

Edit : Here's a screenshot of my first speed test.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
I dont understand what this picture is telling us...you used almost 12gb and youre throttled...

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] duboi97:
Actually unthrottled I just attached a another picture of my speed ttests.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
How was this achieved?

Sent from my pocket rocket!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] duboi97:
I did NOTHING at all. My older brother has llike 35 gbs used and he's been unthrottled for the past 4 months. I myself have been unthrottled for the past 2 months.

I honestly think t mobile doesn't care unless someone wants to prove me wrong.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Bad77539:
Thank you, it worked for me. Went from a. 06 mbs to 6.03.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] iynfynity:
you used the one in the OP?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] outlawbiker619:
Results

Okay.......you can look up "Idiot" in the dictionary and you'll find my picture.

TMO throttled me back when I hit 5.03gb. And I didn't even realize that was what happened. I tried everything to speed things up again but nothing worked. So then I just figured it was really busy on the internet. I then check my account and saw the red letters. Anyways......I downloaded the app and proceeded as instructed. The first thing I did was a speed test. Results = 72.3 Kbps. I do not care what anyone says.....IT DOES NOT WORK! :mad:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shortbus-Driver:
Ok this app worked for me....im over 17 gigs right now and they finally caught up to me today and throttled me but after applying this app im good to go again.....yes I applied it after getting throttled and it works

Even though my new billing cycle starts in about 24 hours lol
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] iynfynity:
^^

That's just crazy.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] grose65:
Just reset this morning after text saying I will be throttle back at 5 FBI bandit worked ho ha
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
im glad some people are getting results.

i am so against throttling. it wouldnt be such a big deal to me if they didnt advertise it as "unlimited data". sorry, but knocking my speed down to 56 is sure as hell limiting me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shortbus-Driver:
Yea Thanks TopShelf10 for sharing this handy little app :-) they haven't been throttling me the last 2 months and I was getting around 12-14 gigs but they caught up to me this month with 1 day left of my cycle and I gave this app a shot just for giggles and sure enough....it works
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eric7:
It works for like 5 days then I got throttled again. I think T-Mobile found out.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eric7:
t('.'t) T-Mobile.

This worked for me. I'm on toxic music which is an i9000 rom for those of you on a rom like this download this apk push it with root explorer to system/app folder change permissions to rw-r-r reboot and it'll be there since you cant install the traditional way! Thanx for posting this!

thanks button pushed!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
im glad this worked for you!! unfortunately it didnt work for me this month, very odd.

however i am going to try your method of installing to /system/app and changing permissions. ill report back if i get any immediate changes. thanks for the input.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Danielpc:
Pushed apk via root explorer and changed permissions. Even after a couple of resets, does not work for me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] davemw2:
Can anybody post a mirror? For some reason I can't down load it from my device.... would this work for any T-Mobile phone? I have a vibrant and the mytouch 4g.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] stephenwithph:
it worked... and then i restarted my phone and now it is throttled again.. i can't get back to work again... i don't get this...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shortbus-Driver:
Yea same for me.....this month it didn't help I got throttled on the 3rd and will be till the 22nd lol.....OWCH!,

Edit:I just learned something since being throttled I can't seem to log in thru the xda app.....so im here thru a browser and now I see this mysterious "Thanks" button I hear so much about lol.

It sure is funny the way you view sites thru apps or browser....to see or not to see lol.

Topshelf you finally got my thanks for sharing this app .....even though it didn't help this month lol...better late than never I guess ;-)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] derek210:
When I click the reset button it says "reseting throttle" and then never says anything else. I rebooted my phone and I'm not seeing any speed difference. I know this isn't working for everyone but is this correct?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Scarinzi:
I got throttled yesterday (Day before my billing cycle starts over). I tried this throttle reset app and it did not work for me.

On another note, my billing cycle did start over today and I was still throttled so I called T-mobile and talked to technical support. The guy tried everything he knew and couldn't get my data back up to speed so he submitted a ticket to the engineers. They had to go in on the back side of the network and do some things but they did eventually get me back up and running. I don't think this was related to the throttle app. I just wanted to put this info out there in case anybody else has a similar problem. I swear my data is faster now than before I was throttled.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Scarinzi:
That's how it worked for me to no avail.:(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jr_718:
Can you update /modify this app so ir can worldm for ppl who aré still-life havibg problems. Thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
please read OP...im not the creator of this app, nor am i involved with its support/lack of.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] noah1017:
unfortunatly no go for me

Im on samsung vibrant tmobile usa

I was on toxic crazy 8 when i got the warninr that i used 4.5 out of 5 gigs and i used this tool with all of the op instructions and then when i flashed to Ultimate 8.2 port i did the same thig and modified perm in rioot explorer but I was throttled.

I want to say though that Im really happy that if nothing else someone is trying or has tried to make an app that will fix this for us :)

in the mean time has anyone found a way to make it work?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
at this point, i am convinced that this does not work. sorry if i misled anybody. the only reason i dug this out and posted it was because i had avoided being throttled, coincidentally, when i had first started using the app (see screenshots). i was overcome with excitement and i wanted to share with anyone, because throttling is the ultimate backstab - only because they market their data as "unlimited".

this post finds me throttled for the second month in a row since then, even when using the app. i just got throttled yesterday. i think its safe to say that this app is a hope more than a reality. i will change title and edit the OP.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jr_718:
Don't give up.. lol. How about adding more script. Maybe it can help...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Maderic2003:
This option may or may not work. To avoid being throttled or to get speed back change the apn settings. Change the apn from epc.tmobile.com to

internet2.voicestream.com

I have never been throttled. I don't know If it Is due to this or just dumb luck. I do average around 13GB per month with tethering. No promises. Good luck
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jr_718:
Now.. do you regularly reboot your phone. Also, the internet2 setting do you use it regularly before reaching your data limit. I just created a new apn and added http://internet2.voicestream.com.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shortbus-Driver:
Changing the apn didnt work for me. :-(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jr_718:
Some says it worked for them and some just a share luck..nothing is perfect as much as mobile continues to patch holes in there servers there will always be some grains that drop off.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jay2487:
T-Mobile cancellation department told me that prepaid unlimited data customers never get throttled anyways. Could this be where some think it's working? Can anyone on prepaid verify that?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jr_718:
I would say to call and ask them.. He said she said is sometimes misleading. Knowing t-mobile they change things around every now and then...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] JediDru:
That is wrong. I am not on contract with unlimited and just got unthrottled.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Munchi3s:
I'm pretty new to android rooting, roms, hboots, etc. I have the HTC Desire CDMA BravoC. I mistakenly tried to use the Bravo Modified partition tables on the main page. Unfortunately I misunderstood that "The below modified partition tables support ALL hardware models for Bravo" did not include BravoC. I flashed the CM7 partition table to find my phone soft bricked. I get no screen output, but fastboot still seems to work with the phone. The phone responds via shot vibrations. Does anyone know where I could find a hboot partition table that was designed for my phone? I have googled around but I couldn't find anything.

Thanks for any help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Munchi3s:
Hope?

Is there no hope?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilpraeotor:
running cdma ruu maybe can help. it can overwrite the hboot. but i cant confirm that. bcos i have gsm desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jereso:
If it's a US Cellular (USCC) you can use the Froyo update to attempt flashing back to stock (no S-ON). If it somehow completely S-ON's (mine didn't so you probably don't need to worry) you can use AlphaRevX to S-OFF then use a PB99IMG.zip with Clockworkmod to reflash recovery. Make sure the PB99IMG you use uses a BravoC recovery!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zion31:
Hello everyone, First off I would like to thank all of those that have posted on this site and contribute to it.

Now to my problem. Let me share a little history of how everything started.

I first rooted my MT4G about a year ago, Tried to use IcedGlacier but it was not loading properly so I used cyanogenmod 6 I believe? I wanted to try IcedGlacier but It still was not loading properly. Then when I tried to restore it would not restore properly. At this point it appeared to be bricked but bootloader still worked but the PD15img file was not found. So after some researched I downloaded it and it restored my phone back to factory condition. Now I want to try other roms again because I'm getting bored of stock and attempting to load different kernels but this is where my issues are beginning.

As you can see in the attached photo that is what the bootloader looks like. I thought it was weird that next to hboot it says "HBOOT-0.85.2007 (PD1510000)".

(I tried to post the image but since I'm a noob I and unable. If you want to see the screen shot of my bootloader just message me.

I was thinking maybe this is a reason as to why now No other rom but the stock one will load. Also what is weird is that when it goes into bootloader it still says PD15img is not found but the phone will start up fine with the stock rom.

The phone remains rooted but No Rom or Kernel will Load and fully install.

When It loads roms it goes to install it shuts off and reboots into stock rom.

I tried to Use the PD15IMG.zip on the SD card to see maybe if it didn't load properly but it will begin to load with the blue bar in the corner but then after it goes all the way up nothing else happens.

I have been trying to look for answers but haven't found any real answers that help me fix my problem.

So if someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
