First thanks to Raycaster3 for linking me this trick, also thanks to you guys for sharing... i tried this trick, internet2.voicestream.com no luck, also tried internet3.voicestream.com no luck.. freeze "my account" with titanium backup(after finally rooting my phone) and then deleted my account, am on stock no custom rom yet(speed too slow to download anything, can't wait to try Darkside Dev team Rom:)).. just moved/swapped my sdcard from my Mytouch4G phone(like Raycaster explained somewhere on this forum the Darkside Dev team roms are just awesome and you guys wont regret it)..So am still throttled, lucky for you guys who this works for, and yes i was throttled before i tried this, 5gb data plan, i believe i was throttled on the 20th of dec, new cycle starts on the 7th..:mad:

Honestly, if it wasn't for the darkside developers roms, i am really ready to switch over to sprint i'm seriously considering it, with my job and daily activities i can't function effectively on a throttled speed. i think unlimited should be unlimited without any changes, tmobile data volume is unlimited, but throttled transfer rate isn't, so i don't think it's truly unlimited.:mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
Good luck with that. I have a tablet on Sprint & I've yet to break 1mbps on their 3G. Even their 4G is 3-5mbps tops(when you can actually FIND a 4G signal). That's the whole reason I spent the extra money to get the GSII on T-Mo to begin with.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Atleast you're not completely throttled to 56k, am in nyc, i noticed around states people's speed aren't the same and as for sprint, i think their network just fluctuate too much.. thanks for posting the trick and quick response, and i will keep it as backup for next cycle..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ApexZeph:
Switch if you want but before you do: A WORD OF WARNING FROM A FORMER SPRINT VICTIM:

To switch to sprint for "unlimited un throtteled data" is a self contradiction in the sense that sprints data speeds are like tmos throtteled data speeds, except ALL THE TIME with no way to achieve fast data speeds. Its seriously laughable now they get away with selling that bull**** line when the reality is their network is so weak and their speeds are so slow that they have no need to throttle their ****. And its not like I live in the middle of nowhere I'm on northern Cali and have tested the difference between Tmo and sprint in san Francisco Oakland and most of the greater bay area and Tmo speeds are always extraordinarkly faster signal is better and don't even get me started on customer service seriously tho **** SPRINT!!! Just a friendly warning so your not stuck being a victim for 2 Years, i managed to worm out of my contract, thank fckn god.

Do not switch to Sprint! You will regret it. I just left them for Tmobile and the gentleman above is exactly right. Sprint Internet is so slow, that they have no need to throttle. I live in the South Carolina Area and it's terrible! I average about 0.23mbps!!! And that's everywhere I went! I even had the newest Samsung Epic 4g Touch (galaxy s2). I've always told myself that I would never go to a company who caps Internet. Boy was I wrong! I love my tmobile capped Internet. Sprint was so bad, that the gps app would put me down in the city because the data was so slow. Don't do it, you will regret it.. Stay with tmobile..

It's true the sprint data network is very slow im getting 1to 5 Mbps. I just switch to tmobile 2 weeks ago. Tmobile's largest 4G network is awesome! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manolodf:
I have a question, is there a way to make only "Tethering" so when you use your Hotspot tethering to use this alternate APN but the phone use the regular epc.tmobile.com apn? This way t-mobile does not notice any sudden cease of usage and thinks everything is normal but when tethering it uses this alternate apn?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pagan3940:
Are you using the my account app to see ur usage?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kwilsonjr:
Same here. Was with Sprint for 10 years. Stayed with them 2 additional years because they kept promising 4G right around the corner. Then i read they bailed out on 4G and stopped deployment in favor of building out an LTE network which won't be complete until the end of 2013 (if you fall for that again)

Data is excruciatingly slow, so of course they don't throttle. Good luck getting 10GB a month out of that connection.

With TMO now and am very happy. Just hope they get the Galaxy Note or I might have to jump ship for AT&T.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
Thanks all for your input..I guess I will stick with Throttle mobile.:D

Ha ha! I had that on my PPC4100 with a hack that would let you tether internet unlimited for the t-zones 5.99/mo (of course it was only EDGE speeds) :-)

T-MO Speeds

Getting over 25Mbps (sometimes) in an area that technically isn't listed as a 4G area most of the time i get between 12-20Mbps

Showed my sgs2 to a friend with an evolution 3d on sprint... he was like wtf I thought I had a 4G phone.

Sad thing about sprint is T-Mobile isn't even 4G ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mettleh3d:
So question:

You guys that are logging more data on your end, but T-Mo is not recording it would need to do this every month? Is something suspicious if on month 6 your data usage is still at a pristine 0mb?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
I've suggested elsewhere that you switch back to the original APN every couple weeks & use a few hundred megs of data, just to avoid arousing suspicion ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oreoleo:
Can we setup our own APN on our home server?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ClarkusJay:
Hrmmm changed access point as said before, still hella slow.. if I did this after I was already throttled, would it not make a difference til new billing cycle?

Sent from your moms bedside.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mettleh3d:
Yes clearly because the throttle means to show no data growth on tmos side if you're already throttles then you'll still be.

Kthanx. Not to T-Mobile, tho, as I'm finding myself wanting to play some ol' Nokia "snake" with the data speeds I'm getting...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
Not quite sure what you mean by that, can you elaborate a bit?

If you're already throttled it won't work. Yes, you'll have to wait till your next billing cycle unfortunately, but after that you should be fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brian_v3ntura:
there is some truth to what you're saying,but you're completely wrong when u say, "no way to achieve fast speeds."

it all depends on your network coverage and how dense your area is. just because you live in NorCal,doesn't meant your area is covered well.

Sprint here in Jacksonville is actually very competitive and get comparable speeds. friend and i did a Epic 4G touch and TMo SGS2 side by side speed test.

since sprint uses Clear as it 4G provider (formerly clearwire) ,its wise to check the are coverage on the clear site and to speed test with a friend with sprint.

On Topic:

-no "my account" app

-switched apn (data speeds are a littler better than half compared to what I get on epc.TMobile.com

- my usage is being tracked under alt apn,but unsure if if I will be throttled until use my alottled 5GB

you do realize that TMobile no longer throttle those with the 200mb plan..they just charge overages. Idk what the $/MB (price per meg) .

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Michowski:
No he is correct. There speed is terrible. I just left spring 2 weeks ago and came to t-mobile. Its a world of difference. I can actually stream pandora and sirius now without it cutting out every song. Just about every day I would get frustrated enough to wanna just throw my phone out the window and run it over. If you go on there website it has a coverage map so you just put in your zip and it tells you the closest towers, upcoming changes, what speeds your area has. Well I have full 4g coverage according to them and lets say that if I got 1mb down I would be impressed. There slow as snot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 850Mda:
If i downgrade to the 2GB plan will this trick still work? I downgraded to the 5GB plan but if i can save a few more bucks by going down to the 2GB plan and still use this trick that'd be great.

yes but all together like this internet2.voicestream.com also change the name to T-Mobile-US and leave everything else the same, save the apn then choose it. you also have to do it before being throttled.

Also poisonwolf....question. why are you always so butt hurt? do you work for tmobile or something? who cares man if that is what people want to do then let them. Im sure they know the risks involved ya know? your right someone will probably eff it up for us but what do we do not use it? pick a select few people to use it that we like or know wont mess it up? nah man we are just having fun with it and that is how **** works, if tmobile catches it then so be it....it was fun while it lasted. and if you do not like anything you read on these forums dont bother typing negative **** nobody thinks its cool or your cool by doing so. lets try to keep this thing positive.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PoisonWolf:
Im all for keeping cheaper data plans without overage fees. You? It's always the 1 ~ 5% that ruins it for everyone else.

What is negative and positive on a screen is laughable and is ultimately your own projection on what you think on the matter. If you don't like to be reminded that you're abusing the system, please, ignore my posts and move along. Keep your justification BS to yourself. And you think I post because I'm out to seek the "cool" factor? What do you think this is? High school? Seriously.

I personally like my $20 unlimited data without fear of overage fees. It is also hilarious that XDA does not condone the discussion of warez but allows a thread like this to stay in place.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kife42:
i wouldn't rely on this method if you really need the data. the thing is, on the webpage, below the total data usage it still shows how much data you use every day. so it's not difficult for t-mobile to fix this loophole if they ever decide to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
Been off this thread for awhile....just wondering. Is it still working?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] c19932:
correct me if I'm wrong, but because this is nothing related to warez. warez is illegal. doing this is not illegal, just a "loophole" if i may call it that.

also, I doubt people who know this apn trick constitutes a majority of all T-mobile users. but yes, eventually more and more people will know this trick and the system will be abused, but this is how the world works. I guess it is "righteous" of you to remind us that t-mobile will change their data plans due to this increasing abuse, but hey, i doubt anyone would look at your post and be like "oh you are right, I should not do this apn trick and get stuck with 2gb/5gb/10gb limit just so t-mobile wouldn't change their plans". you (and maybe a few others?) are probably the only ones who don't give this a try if you ran into this thread and actually needs more than 5gb of data.

ultimately, it's just too bad for you. no one is making any "justification BS" for this. the trick is there, we see it, we use it. It's not that we don't like to be reminded for the fact that we are abusing the system, it's that your post is pointless. of course we know that we aren't "supposed" to do this. if this "unfairness" bothers you, consider moving to north korea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PoisonWolf:
I don't think software developers intended for their software to be distributed freely after having their security systems bypassed.

I also don't think carriers intended for their services to be used farther than what you've already paid for in your agreement by using a loophole. A person who say pays for 5GB of data but uses 10 GB of data is ultimately, yes, abusing a loophole, but is fundamentally stealing services as it was not paid for (or even for folks who use the 100 ~ 200mb limits using up to 5GB, if this works?). If you need more than 5GB, pay for it.

There is nothing unfair about what you're doing it. It's only wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meechieervin:
I see your point but i dont think its right because if you look at the ads people think theyre getting unlimited data but then they put in real small words that it has a cap.I dont believe in stealing but theyre also in the wrong,advertising unlimited data when its really not,i thought unlimited meant unlimited
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krzysiek_CK:
I signed up for unlimited value plan plus. I have unlimited data. Am I stealing if I go over 2 GB?

On the other hand, is T-Mobile stealing from me when they do not deliver 4G speeds from the first byte I download while browsing internet or checking emails, yet counting it as high speed data? Yes, I went through enough speed tests to know how long it takes to actually start getting 4G speeds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PoisonWolf:
It is correct that you signed up for unlimited data. However, the amount of data at 4G speeds is also what you signed up as being part of the package.

You did

not

sign up for unlimited data with 4G speeds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krzysiek_CK:
Is T-Mobile stealing from me by not delivering 4G starting from the first downloaded byte?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PoisonWolf:
T-Mobile is not selling you "goods" (i.e., precisely 5 GB of data at 4G speeds) per se. You signed up for a service, not goods. There is a difference. But keep telling yourself that they are indeed stealing from you, if the word "steal" even applies here.

Sorry if my link isn't working, I recently changed my privacy settings on Facebook so that's probably why. I'll fix it as soon as I get home.

And if anyone thinks this is "stealing"- then don't do it. Data is a huge cash cow for carriers, it costs them next to nothing & our data plans are almost pure profit for them. Trust me, no CEO is gonna go hungry cause a handful of phone geeks are exploiting a loophole. So- and I'm not trying to be a ***** or anything- quit cluttering up the thread with this sanctimonious, sympathy-for-big-business BS. You do realize youre on a website devoted to *hacking phones*, right? Most of the stuff we do on this site is frowned upon or outright forbidden by the telcos. T-Mobile advertises unlimited data with x amount of 4G & reduced speeds afterwards, not unlimited data with x amount of 4G & virtually UNUSABLE achingly slow data afterwards. If they just slowed us down to 3G after our limits, there'd be no problems, but kicking us back to almost GPRS is horse **** no matter how you look at it.

Exactly. When T-Mobile stops classifying 5GB 4G plans unlimited, and actually start charging overages then we may stop finding the features within their network that allow us to maintain faster speeds. There are no overage charges on unlimited plan, and that dude needs to stop *****ing.
