It doesn't, no Operator locked handset can, so you will need to use Alejandrissimo or Jinx13. Worth every penny.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredastere:
Allright thanks for the heads up , I'll set up an apointment or somethin with Alejandrissimo :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antoinedl:
Hi,

Thanks for your quick answer gk_terato. So is the 24 USD $ really worth it (e.g. with alejandrissimo) ? I know a fraction of this amount is used to pay the tokens, but I don't know how much this is really worth... I've (sim) unlocked all of my previous phones and it was never over 15 CAD $.

And btw, I was just wondering wether or not unlocking the bootloader would, at the same time, remove the sim restriction ?

Thanks again !

I am sure this throttle folder is like the "relay contacts" acted on by an account setting of some kind.

The hack works on my Dx2. It is like I am on wifi. My speeds have doubled at least, 4x at most.

I have UL data BTW.

Any one have this folder on their D3? Just fishing.:p

Was very skeptical about this at first, because we had things like this on the DInc that didn't do anything.

But I can confirm this actually does something.

Before this, my down was 0.25-0.40mbps and up was 0.40-0.50mbps.

After, my down is 1.30-1.50mbps and up is 0.80-1.10mbps.

This worked wonders for me. Many are skeptics of throttle removers...but they always work for me! I had a dtr on my incredible and it made a world of difference.

I could never even push 1000kbps ever on my d3...did this and y first test was a 1940!!! :D very happy.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
i may give this another try at a later date. i am back to normal but it seems as though verizon is spotty today. my business sales rep says its because theyre working on the 4g part and that makes for spotty coverage. i restored my nandroid and compared it to a stock d3 and had the same numbers on speedtest (horrible 300D and 150U)
[Motorola Droid 3] myersjesse:

My first two speedtest results were 592k down and 369k up, 454k down and 637k up. After the hack my results are 921k down and 717k up, 940k down and 806k up. My ping also went from 187 to 164 after. I am in Santa Claus, IN
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I had a drop in speed, although I only did it once before and after. They were close. Before 1.92 MB down .8 MB up After 1.4 MB down .76 up Also, my phone ran hot all day and absolutely massacred the battery. Reverted back to the .bak files to see if this was the issue.
[Motorola Droid 3] smoshism:
yeah, after doing this all day it killed my battery. with data on, my phone literally dropped 8% battery in 10 minutes (without the screen on). After killing the data transfer manually, the battery life popped right back to normal. Also restored my .bak files and the battery life came back to normal. Not quite sure what this mod is affecting, but it's for sure having some unforeseen consequences
[Motorola Droid 3] myersjesse:
cpu usage went way up

I did this hack and it works for a little faster data speed but my cpu% was staying between 72-95%. It made my phone run hot and kill the battery. Reverted back to stock and now at around 25% with a lot of apps open.
[Motorola Droid 3] nu2droid:
Tried it, and it cut my speeds in half or more.

Started with 1700 down, did this, went to 500.

I reverted back and am back up to 1500.

Will try again later.

[Motorola Droid 3] graffitiwriter:
I think all this mod does is disable the throttle of your CPU and makes it run wide open. And of course with a wide open CPU you should see some kind of increase in data being processed.That explains the battery drain and overheating. I could be wrong but check out set cpu or whatever app you prefer and you will see for yourself.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
This is a good insight. I sat in economics looking at my system manager wondering why both cores were running at 75%+ load. This surely explains the heat and battery drain. With an unthrottled CPU, I could easily see how it would increase data handling speeds.
[Motorola Droid 3] L2_n19h7m4r3:
I think this overheating issue is because of the 3G radio working harder, again I think. I used my X2 today for 4 hours straight heavy usage on WiFi and did not notice any sort of heat from my X2; it only gets warm using 3G.

Also upon a speed test from the speedtest.net app today I was able to get 2.31Mbps down and 0.59Mbps up with a 136ms ping.

[Motorola Droid 3] Camspanners:
If this is true, then its probably self-imposed by android or moto to keep the cpu from damaging itself. After trying it, I personally don't notice any difference, it probably depends on the phones individual eccentricies.
[Motorola Droid 3] estobaughn:
Its just my two cents but I would not consider anything from speedtest or any other bandwidth site unreliable information. If I was verizon and I wanted to throttle I definitely would not throttle a bandwidth site. I have had the same question with my home internet which always shows me at 10mbps even when my connection seems slow. You might be able to say that it is the bandwidth coming from the other site, etc(netflix being a good example). I would recommend setting up an ftp to download a file from. Preferable from somewhere with a known non throttling policy.

[Nook Color General] Tapiozona:
I'm loving CM7 and having netflix is amazing but not having the nook app really hurts.

I can log in fine. It sees my library but when I try to download the books from my library I get the message "Problem downloading this item. Please try again Later."

I'm able to download the free-be books just fine, just not the one's I've purchased for other devices. Also, I can't seem to find any books I've side loaded onto the nook.

Any ideas?

Btw, I'm on the nightly 217 though I had the same problem with an older version as well.

Ok, 2 people with different issues.....

cinciblue6, try fixing permissions. If that does not work you need to tell us more. Any other apps causing force closes? What version of the Nook app are you using? Did it ever work? Can you recall when it stopped and what you had recently done?

Tapiozona, when you sync it do all your books show up? What version of the app are you using? Sometimes I find if I long press the book and choose show details and then the download button from the new screen if goes through anyway.
[Nook Color General] cincibluer6:
@patruns

My problem is slightly different. Mine can download books just fine but when I try to open them, it force closes. Not sure when it stopped working. I would guess sometime after nightly 197 (though I went straight to 210 after that.) VLC Remote also does not work (though I just dled that last night so it never has.)

Tried fixing permissions but it didn't do anything to help the situation.

Edit: I may have updated the Nook app recently. I'll check to see.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Try signing out of the B&N app, then reboot and sign back in. You will have to re-download any books you wish to read though. This was also required when updating the app last month.
[Nook Color General] cincibluer6:
Did it before and just did it again and still no dice.

I'm gonna do an uninstall and reinstall and see if it works. If not, I guess I'll just wait to see if it ever starts working. I have a regular Nook so it's not a big deal but for magazines I prefer the NC.

Thanks for the help.

It's been confirmed that this is a hardware problem and the fuel-gauge chip has to be replaced! So stop waiting,relock your bootloader,flash the original firm and take it to the service.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] yunle:
I dont think SE service center will accept phones with relocked bootloader because the warranty is already void when providing IMEI code to SE to acquire unlocking code. I could be wrong.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] 3ig:
Yeah that's true they can easily check if you ever attempted to unlock your bootloader, but then again how the hell you messed up the rooting with an unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] centavar:
Indeed you are wrong,those codes are randomly generated and they have no way to check that. Also,why would you mention that you messed up rooting? Just tell them it happened during update via SEUS. :D

A friend of mine had the same problem and the service center charged him 30 eur for the repair of the said chip. But he was foolish enough not to relock the bootloader,not to mention he was rooted...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] 3ig:
You are wrong my Bulgarian brother. They keep the IMEIs of all the people who attempted to get an unlock code. I'm not sure if they are giving the retailers a way to check if the device IMEI has been given an unlock code or not, but i'm 100% sure that they keep that info.

But yeah the best way will be to lock the bootloader (if unlocked), flash stock firmware and take it to a service center.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
After step 14 they say that your warranty will be void. http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions

And yes, it seems this kernel has issues with data connectivity, and call volume as well for some odd reason. It boggles the mind as to why it's been labelled 'stable'. Stable usually means it's solid and won't fall over and die, plus data connectivity on an android handset is really a critical feature, if it is buggy the custom firmware should not be labelled as stable.

Yes, if you don't use a custom firmware it will get stuck in a boot loop and be unable to boot.

If I come across it I will, I'll edit my guide to feature it as a work around for connectivity issues for people in the meantime, if it works correctly.

I've got to admit though, issues aside - it is amazing what the open source community is capable of creating. CM 7.1 looks absolutely fantastic, I love the boot animation.
