Hi

But it is getting traced in the web in the stock ROM it does not
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kingissa:
I know somebody else that just got throttled who is running Miui on his Mytouch4g. He hasn't updated his ROM since he applied the workaround as well as changing the permissions of the throttle folder
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] twolfekc:
What exactly does changing the permissions do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RestInPieces209:
I'm guessing the amount of data you use is stored in the throttle folder...? so making it read only doesn't allow it to keep track. If that's not it then I have no idea.

Sounds reasonable. Thanks for the info!!

Limited success

This trick seemed to work for a while when none of my usage was showing up on the tmobile site...now out of no where it says 500 mb out of 2gb...this has been disappointing especially considering since I have a sidekick 4g which I'm not the biggest fan of anyways..the unlimited data would be a start in the right direction but now that doesn't even seem to work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
Same here. I was running an Exhibit II 4G and the trick worked since I used a total of 500mb in detailed usage page but only shows 169.2mbs which was started to be tracked yesterday once I switched to the Galaxy S2.

Since I fixed permissions and set it as read only on the throttle folder, it technically shouldn't throttle me even if my meter says I went over right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Fratboy1992:
I'm not entirely sure...I wish it would just work...all I did was change the apn and then delete my account..we will see what happens but hopefully someone finds another fix..

Perhaps another apn

If your hoping it will work, you should likely complete all of the steps.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
So reflashing with the extra precautions didn't seem to do anything. I'm still being tracked on the T-mobile site. When my billing cycle draws near, I'll start trying to max out so maybe I don't get throttled.

Bypass Throttling? Which ROM? What setting tweaks?

If it even exists, can someone please list the ROM's that can bypass throttling? I went over my 5GB's and it was a nightmare due to how slow it was. Had to call and upgrade to 10GB for the time being.

Are there settings that we can change as well to bypass throttling?

Thanks!

OK I'm lost I've been using this little gift for awhile now over 2 or 3 months to be exact and my billing cycle starts on the 24th but yesterday after my son which is 2 somehow got to my phone got into the settings them the apn menu and reset it to default and my no throttle apn was deleted due to that reset but I redid it and put all the setting back to the way I had it before he released the kraken on my galaxy s2 lol but even after I redid it I got a text from T-Mobile stating I went over my 5gigs of data and I'm throttled now?????/ Y please help!!!¡!!!

Seems to be working to me for a month..but now i just found out today that its not working anymore :( I think tmobile found out about this trick...

Once you're throttled you have to wait till your billing cycle expires...until then you're out of luck.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Right I understand. What data plan do you have and how much data had you consumed until the time of the incident? My guess is you had used more than your allotted allowance and everything you had used carried over and got reported to TMO which was why you resulted in being throttled.

I got throttled down. I am on the 2GB plan and my speeds got reduced. I also didn't apply this trick till two days ago and I was already at like 1.76 GB. Does this trick just lower the amount of data that the phone sends to t-mobile?

I've applied both tricks as well.

This is the case for me as well in Houston, TX. I was running this trick since October, but they finally caught on. Used like 15 gigs in one month, which obviously was way overboard.

Now I have 3+ weeks of throttled data ...

Where do you live? How much data are you using each month?

I'm wondering if going too overboard with the data is what got me throttled...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vabeach454:
I am using juggernaut. You guys need to start off slow and say DL 200mbs or so and wait and see if it shows when you check your data later on with #932# on your dialer. Yes I just Deleted my 2 folders that were in the throttle folder and changed my APN. Another thing is make sure you dont have the T-Mobile APP that checks your usage. Juggernaut doesnt have it. ;)

I am only @ 18mbs since Jan. 28th. lol :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Xhyperion:
You don't need to delete anything for this to work. You don't need to worry about the tmobile account app. All you need to do is change the apn like it's done on the first page. I've been running the apn since this thread opened, didn't delete anything and I have the tmo account app. I've consistently downloaded over 30gigs a month without worrying about how much data I'm using.

I'm just trying to help people out who are frustrated with this not working.

If it's not working for you than I suggest you double check your settings. Also changing the apn only works when you are unthrottled at the beginning of the monthly data cycle. If you attempt to go back to the old apn while you are over your usage you cannot go back to being unthrottled till the next data cycle.

I did find a solution though(since I am only 8 days into my billing cycle...I called them and upgraded to the 10gb plan. LOL...suck sto pay more, but after being throttled for a little over half a day, I couldn't take it anymore.

Hopfully we will get another work around and I can go back to my 5gb plan.

I was talking to Tech Support regarding being throttled and they said that Data usage is monitored through SIM Card. That's why they want you to upgrade SIM Cards when using a new phone. My wife still has her first SIM that she had when we first got T-Mo (2007)and her SGS2 does not read hardly any data being used..trust me she is constantly on her phone. I had to upgrade my SIM due to "trouble shooting" and that's what screwed me.

I just got my bill from last month, it shows my gf's line used 5.1GB of data(!!!)

Thats 3GB after she got throttled.....at 60Kb/sec that would take 111 hours of constant download!

She hasnt used much data so far in this bill cycle

I called tmobile and they pretty much told me to shove it.
