I have Exchange email and two other IMAP accounts and have never seen the throttle message.

I do Pandora but usually only on WiFi. I bought the tether plan and I am getting my money's worth.

What bugs me about AT&T data is that if you are in a heavily teen populated area the iPhoners will suck up every drop the intertubes have to offer.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dtothesquare:
Cause I like to listen to new music on pandora when i'm driving. And the beauty of netflix is watching movies on the go and its a rental service so you dont have to actually buy the movie/tv shows.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Reclaim:
No joke. I got throttled yesterday. Streaming music in my car, YouTube, Netflix etc. everyone is different, but it feels like we're being punished for using our devices the way they were meant to be used... :/
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dtothesquare:
It's such BS. The run commercials about their LTE network being faster and promote it... but then cripple the users...

Maybe everyone should make a complaint to the BBB. We need a better explanation of this top 5% rule.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Reclaim:
So while scouring the forums, I came across a few interesting tidbits. From what I gather, it's totally possible to remove throttling. Though every phone is different it seems. It looks like it has something to do with modifying "services.jar" using root explorer.

Another theory is to use root explorer to delete or move the /efs folder after back up.

I don't know a whole lot of this stuff, but is there any way we can look into this?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
how do you propose this without perm-root?

as soon as you reboot the phone any changes to /system/ are overwritten.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Reclaim:
Hmm.. Yes that's right.. what about APN settings?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dtothesquare:
I'm actually on the skyrocket, but came in here to see if vivid users were having the same throttling problem. Mind sending the info of what you're talking about so I can possibly try? Cause the skyrocket has permanent root.

Not sure, I think you pay $45 for 4gb then, while a Verizon user pays $30 for the same usage, both lte.

Anyway, I understand that only users grandfathered in unlimited get throttled, so you probably won't get any message from them since you're on a tether plan.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nyhtcguy:
spoke to a rep tonight. Here's how they're "measuring"

Top 5% of UNLIMITED data users, in that market.

That's right. So they're not even including data usage of anyone on a tiered, non-unlimited plan!

I guess that's how i got the text after using a whole 1.55 gb in 27 days....

So as the number of unlimited users declines and abusers jump ship, it doesn't matter how little the top people use, they'll be throttled, they leave and the next highest get throttled, they leave, and so on.

Until att achieves their real goal. Zero unlimited data customers. Period.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ookami614:
Can someone please post a link to where I can get the instructions to mess with my apn so my data isn't suoer slow from beong throttled?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Reclaim:
The new LTE technology can allow massive amounts of data. That really isn't a worry with LTE anymore. This is pure mistreatment of their customers. Plain and simple.

Also when I get throttled, I use that other APN. I make sure to use it a lot once I'm throttled. That actually makes things a lot worse for AT&T since I'm back on 3G. And one we achieve perm root, we might be able to find a way around it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sonofasailor12:
Throttled at 4.9 gb, with 2 weeks left... Mostly on hspa+, with a little LTE here and there.

Where can I find the apn settings?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cyberguycpt:
Look at Verizon's lte speeds. Once they were great now they are still good but no where near where they used to be.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
I'm sure they are slower now but do we really need the insane speeds I'm seeing these days? I consistently see over 35mbps down and over 15mbps up. I've even hit over 60 down a few times. I'm sure our speeds will drop when more LTE devices are in use but I think it will still be an adequate speed for anything that needs to be done on a mobile device.

[HTC EVO 3D] ParrSt:
I just got my 3D about two weeks ago. First thing I did was get an extended battery. I got the seidio 4000mah. I have gone FOUR days on this battery with normal (for me) usage. I used to have an evo 4g and with the 3000mah battery, I would use about half of it in a day. Now I was using ValPak Rom and every once in a while it would die much faster but mostly got two days. I don't know if it is because I don't have as many apps running (can't remember all that I did have) or if the dual core makes it run better or if the 4000 battery is just that much better, but I get GREAT life now. I am stock so far since I have the 1.5 boot loader. I may root, but would like to find a way to do a full root rather than the HTC method.

Does the 3D just manage the battery better? I am probably going to put the stock battery back in to see what it's life is like.

Bob
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
Battery life with stock evo3d is just way better than the evo ever was.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bamba1260:
The 4000mah battery is the best investment ever. I love it.

I get 2 days (on any ROM) when I use it normally, about 3 days light usage :D

As for your question.... I'd imagine it handles it better, but also, it is a bigger battery.

[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
I have apps that I purchased (or got free for the day) on Amazon App Store, but want to purchase from Android Market. The problem is that the apps show up as purchased in the Market and I cannot purchase them. I have tried force closing the Market, clearing Market cache, installing the app, attaching it to the Market, detach it from the Market, uninstalling the app, rebooting to recovery, wiping cache & dalvik cache, booting back to the system, clearing Market cache again, but it still shows up as purchased.

I even tried emailing Google's support. Their answer was "According to our records, the device you're using isn't supported for use with Android Market at this time."

Granted, when filling out the form, I put shooter as device, but holy crap, they should know these things if they're supporting Android.
[HTC EVO 3D] melvinaury:
I always has that problem with some apps from amazon. I use TIBU and it work 100% of time detach the apps from the market. You need the premiun tibu, go to the app and long press the title it will show a menu with the option to detach from market.
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
That's what I meant by detached from market
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
The phone knows you got the app and it thinks you bought it from the market so it attach the apps, with titanium backup you can detach the apps
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
Yes, I know. That is what I did. It didn't work.
[HTC EVO 3D] evilvoice:
Why does it matter if an app you got from Amazon for free shows up? You got a full version app from Amazon, which also keeps it up to date, so why the need to purchase from Android Market? I dont understand your reasoning.

From what I read, you got a free app of the day from Amazon (for instance, Hungry Shark 3). Since you got it under the free app of the day, you got the full version, no ad app. This would be the same version you would pay for in the Android Market, which seems to be what you want to do...so why would you want to do that? Amazon gives free updates for apps you downloaded...Im just kind of at a lost for why you need to do this. Maybe explain why you want to buy something you got for free.

Also, uninstall it from the Amazon app store and then it should remove it from the Android Market which will allow you to purchase from Android Market instead
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
Because the time between the Market update and the App Store update can be months, and I did try uninstalling it, several times
[HTC EVO 3D] evilvoice:
Yea, that's true, updates sometimes take a while. Are you uninstalling from Android Market or from Settings -> Applications.
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
Market page only shows open (or update for some)
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
This maybe a more tedious way but you can use titanium backup to detach apps from the android market.
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
Yeah, I know, that was the first thing I tried
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
I'm having a hard time following what process has already been done. If you don't want to purchase the app you should be able to get the .apk from your system, temporarily save that somewhere else. Then uninstall from Amazon, clear all data and cache from Amazon. Don't log back in or even open Amazon. Then transfer that.apk back to some folder such as downloads. Install it, use tb to attach it to the market, and you are done. Have you done that? There should be no reason that wouldn't work.
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
Here's the long process I tried:

FC Market, clear Market cache, install app, attach app to Market using TB Pro, detach app from Market using TB Pro, uninstall app, reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache, reboot, clear Market cache again

All this was done while logged out of everything
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Yeah, you don't want to do that. The goal is to have the .apk of the full version of the paid app in question, install it, then attach it to the market.
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
No, my goal is to make the app not show up as already purchased in the Market
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
OK, Google support actually helped for once.

If you have apps purchased from another app store, and they are showing up in Android Market as Purchased, and no matter what you do, it stays that way, here's what you do:

GSupport told me to just do a factory reset, which didn't actually work since I run AOSP. I had to reformat & flash the stock ROM. Once done, I just went into the Market and purchased the apps I wanted to, then recovered from nandroid.
[HTC EVO 3D] damanrob:
I'm curious as to why you would want to get the app for free and then pay for it? Maybe I'm missing something but I have no problems getting an app from amazon for free that would have cost me on the market. The again if I'm missing something I'm sorry.
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
Two reasons:

1) Amazon App Store updates come WAY after Android Market updates

2) Devs don't get anything from FAOTD on Amazon (what's 70% of $0.00?)
[HTC EVO 3D] damanrob:
Gotcha now I understand thanks for clearing that up.

[HTC EVO 3D] Takenover83:
I have the same problem. I doubt resetting my device to factory will remove the app's it thinks I have purchased. I have tried just about everything here, short of loading up my recovery, and resetting.

Detached from market via Titanium backup

Uninstalled

FC Market

Cleared Market Cache and Data

Rebooted to recovery

Cleared cache/Dalvik

Rebooted

Still say's I own the app... on the market website and in the actual market app on my phone. Yet if I try to install it, it throws a error saying I do not own it.
[HTC EVO 3D] CapsLockKey:
Having the same problem. Never noticed it until I went to purchase SoundHound for 10 cents yesterday. I factory reset my phone (on a custom ROM however) and still didn't make a difference. The website also shows these apps as purchased as well so this can't simply be a phone issue but something in their database.

As for reasons why someone would rather have the app from the Market as opposed to Amazon, there's plenty. Right now I'm considering uninstalling the Appstore all together as the latest updates have made it one of the most intrusive and annoying apps on my phone with the constant notifications of "new" apps that aren't new and it trying to con me in to "updating" my market apps through the appstore and no way of disabling those things.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Yeah, the app store is pissing me off. What I do is install it, download all the apps I want, then freeze the APK with TB. If there's something I want to use, I just unfreeze it.
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
All I know is that nothing worked until I reset to factory. NAND backups help make it a lot easier.
[HTC EVO 3D] bee976:
Well after looking into this problem further, I have decided that I hate the amazon appstore and I have uninstalled it...It wouldn't be so bad if they would just update their apps in a timely fashion similar to the market. Now that amazon wants to try and steal updates from the market it just isn't worth the aggravation.
[HTC EVO 3D] CapsLockKey:
Could you look at your account on the Market website and see if it shows those apps you were having a problem with as purchased? I may try a return to stock if it worked for you.

BTW, this apparently isn't a phone model specific problem as I don't even have an EVO3D. I just stumbled upon this thread as I was about to post a new topic.
[HTC EVO 3D] Enes_81:
Yeah same thing for me, I also wanted to buy Soundhound for 10 cents but I can't :(

Even when I go to the market website on my laptop is show already bought :( Today having the same problem with Fruit Ninja.

dementio's idea was the only thing I have found that worked...
[HTC EVO 3D] CapsLockKey:
I did a full reinstall of stock and it's still showing up those handful of apps as purchased. I'd say if it's showing up on the website as purchased as well, there is little we can do until Google fixes it. It seems to be a glitch with the latest market because I flashed an older apk of the market and one app I checked actually showed up for available to purchase but this doesn't work with the .10 apps though as they show at full price in the older market. I think my problem was originally caused when I restored a backup using MyBackup Root and it somehow linked apps that were originally sideloaded (SetCPU is one culprit) or through Amazon back to the market. I've since ditched MyBackUp and gone strictly with Titanium Backup since then.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Hope they can fix this. I'm currently mad at Amazon for giving away free apps.

[HTC EVO 3D] kenmaples:
I was just successful by uninstalling the app, restoring it in TB, detaching from market, uninstalling via TB with the option in preferences set to remove market link on uninstall. When I went back to the market it still showed purchased but when I tried to install I got the prompt to purchase it. All is better now for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
OK, I just re-verified that doing a full wipe from recovery and installing a factory ROM makes the apps NOT show up in the Market. I tried it with several apps, and I was able to purchase all of them.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Unless I missed it though, did you check if it said purchased on-line? I'm on the stock ROM and recently wiped everything.

Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
Yes, they did show up in the web Market.
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
1) Reboot to recovery

2) Perform NAND Backup

3) Perform full wipe

4) Flash Stock rooted ROM

5) Boot into stock ROM and only log into Google, open Market and purchase apps (DO NOT restore anything)

6) Reboot to recovery

7) Perform NAND recovery

Edit: If you get an error when installing app from Market, uninstall old version first
[HTC EVO 3D] Enes_81:
Let's say we have a problem with Soundhound.

-Delete the data and cache from the soundhound app via TB

-Disatach it from the market via TB

-Uninstall it

-Reboot your phone

This worked for me, even on the apps which where showing as bought on the market website.

I also want to say that this problem has nothing to do with amazone appstore. I got cut the rope from getjar.com and this game is also showing up in te market.

Edit: Soundhound was a bad example, because that is one of the apps, this way does not work for me :S
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
This is what worked. I tried it and was able to download SwiftKey today for ten cents :).
[HTC EVO 3D] hedphurst:
This worked for me, too. At first boot after the NAND restore, it still said I hadn't purchased the app, and wouldn't install, but after I cleared the Market's cache, it worked fine. I had included the cache in my NAND backup, so that was my bad to forget to clear the Market cache upon restoration, though...

Thanks for posting the solution! It was driving me crazy being unable to give my money to people for an app I already had, but wanted to update!
[HTC EVO 3D] jstrom23:
I appreciate the post and this worked for me as well. I would add that I had to manually go in and Uninstall Updates for Market from the App Manager. Once I did that, I was able to purchase the apps.

My main phone is a Droid Incredible, but I used my old OG Droid and reverted to a stock rooted Froyo ROM that had a pretty old version of the Market on it.

Thanks again!

No, you just do not know what your doing, simple as that. Tons of people here and elsewhere have no problems. You haven't listed what roms and kernels you are trying.

If I'm not mistaken when you use a pit file you have to Odin a new rom right after. It wipes everything off the partitions.but I've only used a pit one time so may be wrong .
