OK

I took apart services.jar, removed all throttling services and rebuilt it. No luck :( It looks like they absolutely throttle server side. Ive tried all APN's and still no go. It looks like ill be upping my service plan >.>
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cjtaurus18:
It works for me:) Here's my recent data activity.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] twolfekc:
You guys need to be unthrottled when you are trying to do this. If you have already hit your high speed data cap then it will simply not work. Hopefully that will clear some things up with people why its not working?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SwervFusion:
Can you please update your screens with the bottom portion of the apn settings?

Once my billing cycle restarts i'll try it out, since people are saying it works with the 5gb plan i just bumped down from the 10gb plan to the 5 gb plan, hopefully it works :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SwervFusion:
Cool. The post was updated and answered my concerns.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Has anyone on a prepaid account gotten this to work for them?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Ahhhhhhhhhhh makes sense. Ty and ill try next month :-) Basically after I get my 1st warning , I should swap my apn over. Will do :-) Thanks !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Makes no sense. I tried it before I was throttled and 2gb before I hit my limit. As soon as I hit my limit, it throttled me asap.

I just got throttled too. First time ever. No bueno
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
So it's pretty much confirmed that it's definitely not working as it should be, since it was working for you earlier, right?

I'm still at 320mbs and my billing cycle ends on the 14th. I probably don't need this APN to work tbh...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wetrabbit444:
Yea it worked for me last month too. Reports are showing that it looks.like they fixed it. :'(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Xhyperion:
Yeah. I've been using this since the start of the thread. First time throttled. Checked all my settings. Everything is correct. Looks like they patched it. This is not good for me considering I'm a day trader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Ofcourse it works or was working.. People who knew about this way long before knows it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't.. I think when a lot of people are on the network apn all the time it raises a red flag like I said before.. Use it when you are about to be throttled chances are it might work.. If not so be it.. When a lot of people are on the network apn all the time it congest the network and then t-mobile somehow does something and then it doesn't work...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ApexZeph:

maybe we should try internet3.voicestream.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jiggidigi:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cjtaurus18:
let me know if this will work asap plz! edge speed sucks! i want my unthrottle back!!! :mad: plzzz!!!!!!!!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MR2-MiKe:
wish I could bro. I'm throttled also. maybe someone who isn't but is about to be can try internet3.voicestream.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quitit:
Could someone tell me why on my "My Account" app, it shows for my Data usage as "X GB Used | Unlimited" without any max limit like most people's screen shot of "My Account" app? I know I've been throttled before at 5GB but I don't have that 5 GB asterisk that I see on those screen shots of darkside79's first post and jr_718's screen shot.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
You might have to update the app from the market.. "T-mobile my account" from the market
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quitit:
Thanks for your reply.

I checked the market place, and it says I don't have any app that needs updating.

I've had this account since the original G1 and haven't changed my internet plan, I did change my minutes and text plan in 2009.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Type in "t-mobile my account" in the market..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quitit:
Yup did that too. It just comes up with "Tmobile my account" and it gives me the option of uninstall or open the app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
How much gb plan you have?..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quitit:
Well I had this account since the G1 first came out, it was T-mobile's first Android plan and said it unlimited. But they changed their plans and released a statement saying all their data plan was going to throttle at 10GB and then finally settling down to 5 GB, but i never received any official statement in the mail or anything about any changes to my account. I have been throttle before at 5 GB, but i just wanted to know if there was any difference from my unlimited plan vs others since my "my account" app shows something different.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Honestly there isn't.. They going to tell you its in the fine print.. We can alter your data plan speed for the better management of our network .. Bs..etc..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quitit:
All right, I'm about 200 MB away from the 5 GB throttle limit, should I try the internet2.voicestream.com or internet3.voicestream.com apn? I read that the internet2.voicestream.com has been fixed/patched and should not allow "unlimited" data now. So should I take my chances and use the internet3.voicestream.com and report back if I do not get a notification about being throttled? I have 12 more days until my plan reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dog02:
has some one test is this work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MR2-MiKe:
Yea see how the internet3 does.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznSwag:
heck yeah, the speed is slower than edge. The speed i get when im throttle, makes edge look good no lie :O
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iloveandroid16:
for the people that went over 10gb you are dumb as hell for doing soo, common sense would have told you it would have raised a red flag! That's the problem with humans, we are soo greedy...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quitit:
So far, I have downloaded more than 200 MB and have yet to receive any txt regarding reaching the throttle limit. Even in the "My Account" app it just shows: "4.85 GB Used | Unlimited", but its been like that since I started to use the phone as a hotspot at around 7PM PST. I've been using the "USB Tethering" to connect to the internet, since I don't have internet yet in my home.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quitit:
Spoke too soon, just checked my "My Account" app again, since my net was acting a little slower.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nighthawk626:
Here are my findings

1. I had a black sgs2 on prepaid 5gb data. i tried the apn and throttle folder trick with no myaccount downloaded while using roms from cm7 to juggernaut, RESULT: worked like a charm.

i had bought that phone from craigslist and it wasnt fully paid off by the previous owner so it was blacklisted and i had to get a new phone and sim card.

2. my white sgs2 now that im using on prepaid 2gb plan, i kept flashing different roms so it would pick up some data everytime the phone started up before changing apn. i finally stuck with juggernaut and i was at 1.6 gb usage, for some reason the oly time it would read data is if i rebooted my phone. but i stopped rebooting for a whole day and tried pandora, i also downloaded myaccount which showed that i was using data but my tmobile website remained at 1.6. i eventually got up to 1.9 and got the message that im being throttled, so right after i got the message, i ran speed test about 14 times. as u can tell, by the 7th test which was within 10 minutes, my speed dropped to 2mbps. and then i rebooted my phone and the second screenshot tells the sad tale.

so after i pay $70 to get the 5gb plan today, ill download the three roms i use, change the apn and throttle settings, not install myaccount, make backups of the roms and then see if anything changes. wish me luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vabeach454:
They did not Patch internet2.voicestream.com I have been using it for a month. My new month started 28 Jan. and I only show 36mbs. I do not use the T-Mobile APP My Account, as I believe it lets them know what is going on. All I did was change my APN & Delete the 2 folders in the Throttle folder. I did not change Permmisions either for the Throttle folder and all is Golden. Check you usage from dialing #932#. ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Maybe patched or not..one thing I noticed is if your on wifi and you open t-mobile my account it disconnect the wifi and shows 4g..tried it 3x same thing maybe just me.. So I think there's definitely something with that app...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funziebear:
I've yet to reach my 5 gig limit haha I even had problems using 2 , everyone has Wi-Fi now it's kinda hard to use up my data my month is due the 15th and I be used 1.36 gb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
I can confirm that it doesn't work at all for Monthly4g or ''Prepaid'' customers. 5g $30 month plan here. Tried going to /system and no throttle folder anyways.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
No that's just a requirement. It makes sense though, phone data and information needs to be sent via data...like us unable to receive mms while on wifi calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
I guess.. But if you dial #932# it doesn't...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funziebear:
There is a throttle folder it's under data

Believe what you want. I am not Throttled Ghostrider lol. I guess it works for some and not for others, as the OP has pointed out. :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jessfox:
I wonder why it works for some and not others. All of my settings are correct. I switched apns a day or two after I got my phone and it just never worked for me. Its strange how it doesn't work for everyone. Nevertheless, I'd rather be throttled than charged overage fees :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rpolito73:
Worked for me!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nighthawk626:
im seriously starting to think it might be the sim card. it couldnt be the phone itself. like i said it worked for me with a different sd card. i might for the fun of it go out and get a different sim card and see if it works cuz im about to lose it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dirtybudha:
Darkside, you're my by blue!! even if this doesn't work for me.

I tried this again, with the updated process.

STILL get the text message about being at 4.5 of 5. aAlas, this isn't going to work for me. I'll keep checking back though. MAYBE next month it'll be different.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] androidtoy09:
Well, it looks like the internet2.voicestream.con APN has started to count data usage against my account. It did NOT do that last month. So I assume this trick no longer works for me. Bummer.

well i bought the Samsung galaxy s2 two days ago,,but now on the 11th of this month there offering free smart phones with mail in rebates,,so me and my wife are taking the phones back on the 11th using the 14 days worry free time,,and hitting up another t-Mobile store and getting the same phones,,being a new phone Should i try the throttle hack? im paying 20 bucks for the 2gb internet,,or i may ask as of being a new customer for the 5 GB for 20 bucks to try out the new service?..what should i do?thanks for all the input and advice...i do use a lot of WiFi around the house witch doesn't use data..any advice?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
If you consistently find yourself going over your 2gb cap every month then by all means attempt the trick, if you don't then whats the point if you use wifi most of the time?

Is there any folder besides the throttle folder that Tmobile gets the data informartion to my phone? I think maybe its in the sim card? How the heck im supposed to know that!!!??? I am not liking this at all!!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
I wouldn't doubt they have a few narcs in here & in plenty of other forums... sad. T-Mo used to be the little guy's carrier, but they've been getting progressively more & more like the other carriers over the past few months. I've been thinking about going prepaid for some time now & Simple Mobile looks damn good. Do you know what bands they use? I've about had it with T-Mo's bull****. After almost 2 years of complication-free service, they've all of a sudden started screwing up my plan every few weeks & overcharging me :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
Simple Mobile uses T-Mobile's bands. Although keep in mind that you really need to read the fine print on each plan because I believe some go as low as 1gb before throttling. I did some basic research before I decided I'd rather stick with T-Mobile on the prepaid end.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkside79:
Yeap it's been fixed! Really Sucks! sorry guys. Even the internet3.voicestream.com

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
Do a Google search for Talkatone. It's free right now but in alpha so it is lacking some of the features that I love about GrooveIP (like native dialer integration) however calls are much more clear over both Wi-Fi and cell data. Overall though, these things make the $30 plan very livable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manfly9884:
Have a GSII, rooted running madnut's ROM, with an unlimited data plan, but for some reason I got a text message that I,ve gone over my limit, (5GB)

I don't think anyone thought it was a secret. I think we are saying that tmobile finally caught on that we were all using this apn to avoid throttling every month, which isn't something they'd want.
