I don't believe the "phone" APN can handle mms or supl as suggested in the OP. You need to set up your "phone" APN to be default, and keep the "wap.cingular" APN for mms and supl. However, note that CM7 (and therefore derivitives like MIUI) can't handle switching between two APNs very well, so you'll get a lot of connection issues, especially noticable in the market, if you use two APNs on CM7. If setting internet to the "phone" APN and disabling 2G keeps it from being throttled, then try with a non-CM7 ROM and see if you can leave mms and supl on the "wap.cingular" APN and have it working. Can anyone else confirm that MMS doesn't work with the APN settings in OP? I just don't think that APN can handle those features, hence why we use 2 APNs on AT&T ROMs, to use the faster phone APN for internet, and wap.cingular to take care of MMS and SUPL. Maybe locking out 2G is all you need to do though.

10kpb is much slower than dialup... are you sure that you are even being throttled and not something else is seriously wrong?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Simba501:
I'm sure that's right. When I was throttled, it was around 13kbps.

Sent from my Galaxy SII
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
Yes 10KBps... it is sick they can slow you down to those speeds... I would say 10KBps isn't even considered having a connection because everything times out...

I called AT&T and said I used over 2GB and was being throttled they replied with that's not suppose to happen till 5GB. Then went on saying they would troubleshoot my phone if it don't work they will credit my account for it.

I didn't escalate only stated it isn't working at all everything is timing out and I'm paying for a data plan I am not changing. I said if I can even get to their highest Data plan without a crawl then I need to get a credit for the $ I'm spending on that plan, and I will call for a credit every month till they stop throttling me for barely using 2-5 GB depending how lucky I get.

10 KB/s - 0.01 Mb/s - 0.001MB/s however you want to factor it but it's useless. I could be wrong on the math but you get my point.

Plus I put my other SIM card in the phone and BAM 8Mbps...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] inick73376:
I Used to get atless 3Bars but now since i used up 5GB i'm slowed down and i have somewhere to go on Wednesday that i will need Data for so what can i do guys? i'm on CM7 as the OP is. :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AJerman:
You'll need an APN type of mms,supl as well if you're using that APN to fix MMS. Then you're back to the default on AT&T ROMs. So it would come down to disabling 2G to prevent throttling. Amazingly I've not been throttled even when using 7 or 8 GB of data, so I can't test any of it though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
The Throttle doesn't make you connect to Edge it still connects to 3G they just limit your bandwidth on the network...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ttwitc9516:
Who is determining that I am in the top 5%? Is ATT using an outside company to determine this? We know that they're not. So they can tell anyone that they're in the top 5% and throttle them for the rest of the month. I had used about 10 megs since Feb 1 and got throttled. I live in Champaign-Urbana Illinois, home of the U of I. Am I really, at 10 megs, in the top 5% with 35,000 students in this town. No. It's simply ATT's way of getting around improving their ****ty infrastructure by limiting throughput. Does anyone know if they adjust this during the month or are you throttled for the duration of the month? Honestly, I hate government intervention but in this case the FCC really needs to get involved in ATT's business. I pay for unlimited data and I will never even come close to 1gb at these speeds and they know this and are counting on it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tjy8tim:
well...i've been using that apn setting without the apn type. and i can send mms...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tjy8tim:
i'm at 2.2gb and i got throttled again...f**king att.

Did you guys realize that if they keep throttling top 5% people, eventually the "top 5%" data usage cap can probably become like 1gb? and you with your unlimited data will start getting throttled at 1gb...which is ridiculous.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
Yeah... eventually lower and lower... the only hope we have is a class action lawsuit. =( Randle can make 27million a year and we have to be throttled even at 2 GB... seriously something is wrong.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hollywood528:
sign me up for a class action lawsuit!

I received the message last month after using only 3.5GB!!!

Unlimited my @$$!

I am at almost 1GB so far this month... waiting to see when I get throttled this time.

I already went on FCCs website and filed a complaint with them. I suggest everyone do the same.

If someone does get a legal matter going, please inform me, as I will sign up in a heartbeat. We are getting ripped off... paying for this so called unlimited data plan. haha.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
I'd start but only thing I can do us watch... lol =( and we don't want to cancel we want our service we pay for. That's like saying drop your power company because you don't like them...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AJerman:
What is your other APN set to then? Because if you dont set an APN type, it's not going to use that APN. Is your other APN "phone" and has MMS and SUPL added to it and MMS works? Maybe the phone APN does work for that stuff, but I didn't think it did.

Also, have we determined that throttling does only occur in large markets? Those of you who have gotten throttled, where do you live? I live in Raleigh, NC and I've used 7+ GB and not gotten throttled.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] inick73376:
i live in Joliet,IL about a hour & half away from Chicago :rolleyes: and got throttled at 5GB they said they start looking at your Data after 2GB then from 3 to 4GB they send you a Txt Message about it then after 5GB your slowed down to what she told me 2G Speeds :confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rich_jen4ever:
So I live about 70 miles outside of StL and got a email and txt saying I'm approaching my limit, checked the at&t app and said I've used 5.2 gigs. So sick of at&t and their wanting more $! So what exactly is gonna be the point of getting these LTE phones, we're just gonna be reaching our limits faster :-(

Didnt Work for me

Changing the APN didnt work for me, still throttled.

.14 upload and .13 download speeds pin of 110ms

I'm in the SF bay area, cali

Ive used 3.25GB of my unlimited data and sent 3700 texts of my unlimited.

Throttled speeds make using mobile internet, streaming pandora, and checking email practically useless as you time out. Hell even updating an app took like 10 mins. Ive tried different modems different ROMs nothing works. At least my billing cycle cycles tmrw.:confused:

They made the 7 o'clock news on FOX

They sent the text to Sheperd Smith today and he is pissed. He let them have it on the news broadcast. Title "The limited unlimited plan of AT&T". Mucho bad press on that one.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
I think if you get a Rep to "Remove the Old Unlimited Data soc code by Add Unlimited Data Soc Code and save it all at once" that should fix it for the month. Now talking someone into doing that on the phone will take social engineering skills ;-) I'd personally say my internet isn't working last time I called the Rep said he was going to remove and add back the unlimited data at the same time and it did the trick... can you do that for me again? Just make sure you remind them not to Delete Unlimited Data then add it it must be done at the same time!

If this works please hit Thanks and let us know! If they screw it up it CA take 24-48 hours to get them to fix your unlimited data plan back on the account.

ohh is that IMEI fix... so its not good to follow..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Yep. Read diablo's posts in this thread. He stopped posting because people stopped were being dumb.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
So people are being dumb by changing phones then changing phones again to fix their Throttle problem and it's phones you have and own? There is nothing DUMB about this, it's actually very simple and legal. You can change phones at ANY time you like and if AT&T required you to change your Data Plan too well that's on them.

So please stop trolling.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jade Eyed Wolf:
*punches you in the face* Seriously, I will do this to anyone who says something to this effect.

Some of us (myself included) are stuck with AT&T because there is no other choice. Lemme explain:

I can't stand buying hardware which is bloated and locked down by the carrier, so I have to buy unlocked. So that eliminates Verizon, Sprint, or any other CDMA carrier or MVNO using CDMA. Also, I like for my hardware to work properly and to it full capabilities, including 3G/HSPA. Well, so much for using T-Mobile or any T-Mo based MVNO; their 3G network uses AWS1700, which is proprietary to North America, and almost no decent unlocked hardware is made to take advantage of this.

So basically, I'm stuck with AT&T... Believe me, if I had another choice, I would have taken it already.

Besides, the terms I originally agreed to included unlimited usage. I was happy with those terms.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] pcrat:
I guess they dont care about me, or well the ones who only have a pathetic 200MB plan, each month i get pretty close usually about 180-190MB by the end of the month, i have never gone over, except once, and it was LITTERALLY 1mb and i got nailed for another $15,

So now when im home, yes i use WIFI, but at work, or out and about, i usually only turn on DATA, when im gonna use it, or send a picture txt message. it helps.

I called at&t and griped, but of course it didnt help. I love there service, but yea im not gonna pay MORE money for just a bit more data, and then get throttled, just because i get CLOSE to my limit.

lets see tho, i pay SO MUCH a month for say 2GB, but yet when ya get close to that limit ya get throttled? but didnt i PAY for ALL of that 2GB?

hmmm
[Samsung Infuse 4G] getbuzzin:
Lol, of course they don't care about you. Trust me, you'll never get throttle. They actually want you to go over. Throttling is only for people on unlimited plan.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] marty331:
I'm on the unlimited plan and noticed a couple of days ago that things got slow, really slow. I had not even added a new app in the last week or made any changes to my phone. I'm running CM7, the build is a couple of months old now and very stable.

Anyway, did a speed test and confirmed that my speeds were about 1000 Kbits/s then I applied the changes on this thread and then tested again, 5909 Kbits/s!

Gracias to the OP!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P05TMAN:
Bypass throttling STILL works!

In light of AT&T's shenanigans with throttling their 'unlimited' data users, I thought I'd give this a try on my Motorola Atrix. Before I tried, I was getting between 254 & 605 kbps. After applying the steps outlined, I have 1.3 mbps. Nothing to brag about, but enough to watch Netflix! Woo!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] FauxAffliction:
At&t no longer offers unlimited data. I happen to have it but that's because I'm grandfathered in ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LuckyColdJohnson:
They should at least give us 8 or 10g before throttling

When it was available....30 bucks a month. Now I pay 30 bucks and it seems like it would be better to get the 3 gb for 20 $$ and pay $10.00 for each Gig you go over. Never get throttled.....I called At&t today. I told them I was already at 4gb this month (10 days in) they said You Tube and other video streaming (HD) will rack the data up quick. Pandora streaming and other music apps are not that bad. You can listen to Pandora for 7 hrs and only rack up 250 mb.....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] zpzp96:
Too bad, 3GB is $30 per month.

I believe when you get LTE phone, you will get 5 GB.

Which makes it a lot cheaper than what they are offering now.

[HTC Amaze 4G] jkozan:
Just a question will I need to be unrooted to receive and or download/ install the ICS upgrade when it is made available?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mcs117:
From what I recall, you need to relock the bootloader to install OTA updates... So, I would assume you would need at least to relock the bootloader if they do not give us a zip to upgrade to ICS... And even then, to update from zip, you have to relock the bootloader, it will also delete your superuser on the rom, so you will lose root. It will probably also overwrite your recovery at the same time, so in the end, it's best to relock the bootloader before you upgrade to OTA to prevent it from bricking your phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
With the last update we did not have to relock our bootloader however we did need the stock recovery. We've only had one OTA update since we've obtained root so it's difficult to say what a totally new build will require.
[HTC Amaze 4G] electronicrice:
In most cases with various different phones, you can download the OTA to the phone but it will not install if the /system partition has been modified and you have a custom recovery installed. In order to properly update with an OTA, the ROM would need to be returned to stock and you would need to flash the stock recovery back to the phone as the OTA does checks against the system to ensure it's okay to flash. You do not have to be relocked in order to install it, however.

The best idea would be to wait until the OTA has been modified to ignore /system modifications and can be flashed using CWM, but of course that takes a little time until it is available.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
I found the Stock Roms forum but will that relock my boot loader as well. I'm thinking it won't but doesn't hurt to ask.
[HTC Amaze 4G] electronicrice:
No, the only ways to relock the bootloader is to run the Relocker script in the dev forum, or manually type "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot. Flashing ROMs will not relock the phone for you.

However, it is worth noting that you cannot flash the official stock ROMs without having the phone relocked first.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
Not true. we did flash the stock roms the last time ota update came out and we didnt relock the bootloader. it only required to have stock recovery because you lose root once you flash the stock rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
You must relock the bootloader to flash the RUU file.
