Moderator------Please note my phone is NOT AT&T I717. It's the unlocked version I purchase several months ago. Please move the post back to the correct forum. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] amv13:
They are not stopping my data service but they are making it so slow it rarely works.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] macwilson:
Perhaps if you are heavy user you get on the **** list and they will may your service terrible. After all, they don't need or want you if you are a heavy user.

They would probably pay you to leave their service.

The only way to fight this would be to switch service.

I suggest you go to Verizon (until they kick you off) :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
There are some ways to get your speeds back, you should search these forums.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Willthrill:
I would imagine he moved it because it's about AT&T service with the note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aerials:
Those CSR's are probably trained to lie to customers calling in to complain about the throttling that applies to the unlimited. Unfortunately, the way they talk makes that rather obvious.

Besides, the corporate clearly wants to force as many people as possible onto tiered data...thinking the insanely heavy data users will go over their limit multiple times each month...to milk more money from them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
Dont give in, unlimited people, Dont give in......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] amv13:
Believe me I'm NOT giving in. I have a feeling AT&T is going to be feeling more heat on this issue. :)

I would consider going to Verizon for a number of reasons, including their service in my area is much better, but that would mean giving up the Note. Something I'm not prepared to do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SysAdmNj:
I feel the same as well, doesnt make sense to throtlle unlimited people at 2gb but 3gb plan people dont get throttled at 2gb and essentially we are paying the same thing and for more.

I just kept calling and complaining and now unthrottled...at least for the time being
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] amv13:
I downloaded Radioopt Traffic monitor earlier today and so far I've used 1GB today, almost all email! 430mb via wireless and 365mb via AT&T Data.

I have numerous email accounts but only two were set for frequent updates, one at every 5 minutes, one at every 30 minutes. I've adjusted them all to see if my usage goes down.

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashies7:
Got my note yesterday. Had used 3.6 GB in 2 Weeks on my inspire. So with new phone, comes unlimited lte plan.... Yet somehow I'm throttled after the first day... Having used almost no data!!!!! Ugh many pine calls to Att... And nothing resolved..... But basically was told. Abutting after 1.5 GB puts you into the"high"range....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Fernandq:
I am afraid the courts will be the only way to get AT&T to stop throttling, not because of the awards but because of the bad publicity.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] amv13:
Turns out my stock android email used over 2.5GB's yesterday!!! WTF.

I tried a few replacements and I'm going to use K9 for now. So far in 12 hours it's used 2MB's worth of data. That's some difference!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guitarplayerone:
Umm what? 2.5 GB of data, only through email?

Are you on a custom rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
You guys using GBs of data just checking mail, do you have it set to download all emails ever or what? I'm syncing exchange and gmail and only using couple MB at most.

Edit: just checked and it's used 10MB so far in February for the mail sync. Both accounts. GB+ per day seems insane!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashies7:
You sure you didn't do any video streaming??? YouTube, google music, nothing...... I fund it hard to believe 2.5 for email. I have three email accts, xda, g+, palringo, beweather, and whatever else needs synching going 24/7, and only use 5 GB basically a month... That's with video watching included

Well on the way to my fairytale!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I think we should all band together and start an Occupy AT&T movement; "We are the 5%"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ngocdao:
Um... most emails have like 10mb limit...so that must mean you received a lot of emails...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ngocdao:
Wait..how do you know you're throttled?...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
Hi I live in the uk, and how can they reduce your bandwidth if your on an unlimited plan? I'm on an unlimited plan at home if they started reducing my bandwidth, I would sue them for not giving me the service I pay for, how exactly? legally wise can they have and advertise an unlimited service if they cannot provide it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Fernandq:
It is called "read the small print"... you still get to download all you want at reduced speeds. They never guarantee speed, they never say it is unlimited data at maximum network available speed... However, seems a customer in California had a judge side in his favor and award him some money, I think it was around $800. If more follow suit there might be a change. Bottom line, unlimited data was a good idea back in the day most smart phones were not as bandwidth hungry and powerful as they are now. Back in the day I could only see mostly mobile versions of websites and trying to load the desktop version meant you put your phone away for a few minutes while the paged loaded. Nowadays I have gotten in the habit of just using my phone and not even fire my pc for web browsing and I just have a Blackberry Torch... With that new Note I might only use my pc for non internet stuff..

Bandwidth is not a limitless commodity and it is becoming expensive. There is only so many frequencies that can be transmitted in the spectrum where the cellphones work. Carriers are buying bandwidth from whoever they can left and right. Adding cell towers does not solve this problem, once the frequency spectrum where the cellphones transmission can exist is full, it is FULL! So the only way around is to limit the access by controlling the bandwidth consumption (throttling) or making the customer pay premium once you go over you allotted data consumption. Both of those process achieve the same result, the customer learns to use other alternatives for data services (wifi, using a pc, etc...) and dont overload the network. (they also get pissed off but there is nothing they can do about that.)

Of course I would love to be able to download unlimited amount of data at 4g lte speed every month but in reality with the amount of other user that are in my same area with the same desire that is not a sustainable model.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cactoes Gel:
Out of curiosity, assuming one is not in contract, what's preventing an AT&T customer from switching to another carrier?

I'm with T-Mobile. Two things keeping me from switching:

1. I'm in contract.

2. Cheaper plans.

I was considering switching to AT&T because of the phone selection.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Fernandq:
Nothing, it is the customer decision and if it is a smart customer he/she will weight coverage, prices, network size, equipment choices, etc before dropping AT&T. I think sprint is the only provider that does not throttle. Personally, if it were not for the new equipment I would not be in a new contract. When all I cared was using the cell phone for calls I went a few years without contract. If you are a data user the phones seems to run a parallel trend with the pc's were you have to upgrade if you want to enjoy the newer services, more data intensive websites and such... But if it were voice only, I would still have that nokia phone I got 12 years ago....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
For me, the only thing keeping me on AT&T at the moment is device/network compatibility.

If T-Mobile operated a 3G network which were compatible with the vast majority of unlocked devices made around the world, I would have gone over to them a long time ago.

AT&T (and MVNO's using AT&T's network), is the only

national

US carrier which operates a GSM network which is compatible with (and I mean 3G here) most unlocked devices which are made to work around the world.

I have pondered the possibility of switching to an AT&T MVNO, like Straight Talk, but what's keeping me from doing that is the fact that by being pay-as-you-go, I risk the possibility that down the line, those MVNO's may not continue to offer unlimited data, and I would not have any kind of contract with them that would protect me from those possible policy changes.

I know that AT&T's "unlimited" service now is a bit of a joke, but nonetheless, I still retain the peace of mind knowing that at least I won't be charged for any overages.

On that thought, at least AT&T has officially come out and said that they won't start throttling users now until they reach 3 gigs of usage on an HSPA plan, or 5 gigs on an LTE plan.

I just went to my local AT&T store and used the IMEI of their LTE Note display unit to change my plan over to an unlimited LTE plan for my unlocked international Note. So now, my account SOC code is no longer HSDPPB, instead it is now LTEDPPB. This way, at least I have 5 gigs a month to play around with before running into any kind of speed limits, which is a lot better than the 1.5 gigs I got to use last billing cycle before I was throttled... Bit of a bitter sweet victory IMO :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 4ktvs:
Well at lest they don't drop your data like the big red does all the time. They are no better to me. They both act like AOL and TW cable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cactoes Gel:
This will eventually help my decision on which carrier to switch to. Of course, this is assuming T-Mobile doesn't do anything about their mediocre phone selection. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flaco05:
My friend switched his AT&T iPhone 4 sim to an unlocked Galaxy Nexus. Will using his IMEI be any good for me to get bumped to the 5 GB limit? Would this in any way mess his account up?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 4ktvs:
No, you need a LTE phones IMEI to get bumped up.

P.S I hope I am save on the $15 unlimited non-smart phone plan.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashies7:
speed test, then called Att to confirm. ;)

Well on the way to my fairytale!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flaco05:
I see, thanks. Is there a current list of the AT&T LTE phones on their site? I'll check.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 4ktvs:
There are 4 phones they sell soon to be 5 that are LTE enabled. The samsung S2 sky rocket and note, LG nitro and the HTC vile.( I am sure if the lasrt one is spelled right.)

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flaco05:
Thank you!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ngocdao:
Skyrocket HD is releasing in a few
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ngocdao:
Could you post a pre-throttled result vs a throttled?

I'm curious..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
When throttled, you'll be lucky if you get higher than .15 mbit. Search YouTube.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
Is there any difference with unlimited data plans if they put an IMEI in the system for a LTE phone? I had a Motorola Atrix on unlimited and I just got a Note. Ran into a problem because it was unlocked and a different IMEI so they couldn't find it. But, they put their Note in the system and told me to contact Samsung to see if they would reflash ATT's ROM on my note. Ha, I got the data working by just adding in APNs, I just tried to go the correct route first.

I'm just wondering if unlimited data will be different now?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] amv13:
That's nonsense. They started throttling me one day into my monthly plan and I hadn't used 5 gigs in one day.

2 days of having difficulty getting online followed by a call to AT&T

Yup, only through the stock Android email app with no custom rom.

Yes, using both radio opt and Onavo to check.

I had it checking around 10 different email accounts. I switched to K9, which has only used around 65 mbs in total for March so far. I'm not crazy about K9 but I'll stick with it until I find a better alternative.

so long PHOTON!!!

it deff wasent' the phone...it was sprint...i was tired of all the issues with customer service and my bill being different each month

also in january sprint "restructured" the family plan....cost was the same...but the way it broke it down made me spend 20 bux more a month becuase my discount wasen't applied the same way

after a couple phone calls....i finally talked to a cool supervisor...since Sprint changed my contract "technically" this happened in jan...for EVERYONE keep in mind

they will let you outta ur contract with NO ETF's - but only for sixty days

so if your on a family plan and have been looking to get out ...now is the time!!!

thank you to all the dev's for all ur hard work

but i'm gone...keep it up...ICS was getting really cool

i'm on the Fence either gettin the LG Spectrum or the new Nexus!!!! both neat little phone....back to Big RED

deuces!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Personally, I would not blame Sprint, they have the best plans and service in the business if you ask me.

Blame the employees!!! We have a few forum members here that can root the hell out of a phone and tell you exactly whats up. The remainder of Sprint employees could not tell you how to boil and egg!!!

I have proof!!! My power botton fell off some how and I took it back to Sprint August 20, 2011. I took it to Sprint and 2 homeboys came out the back. The first thing out of his mouth, "Have you had this phone for 30 days or less?"

Nuff said!
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
I've heard some bad things about the Nexus so good luck and hope you make the right decision.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
August 20th, 2011?

Garden State Plaza in NJ, the Sprint store on 2nd floor over the food court!!! 30 days or less? Im still laughing my stomach hurts!

EDIT: Almost as funny as the hooker that claimed I dropped my s**t! My co-workers jumped all over that ho!!! He** with TEP, If I drop my ****, I will gladly give Sprint $630.00 as i dont like nicks in my ****!!! I would not even sell a forum member some crap I dropped. (Then again, I have dropped 1 phone in the last 14 years.................) "It looks like you dropped your phone?" Thats funny!

[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
Don't blame you. Verizon is a better carrier. Can be more expensive, but better else wise. US Cellular is a regional carrier that shares Verizon's network and they have equal reception (no 4G though) in the areas I go with excellent family pricing and superb customer support. If it weren't for that, I'd be back with VZW.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
It happened in jan....u.get sixty.days

My bill cycle was on the 21st...so i had until march 21st to cancel without a ETF

As far as i.know anyone with a.family plan has this available

Help spread the werd..F You Sprint!!!!

They are.tryin.to keep this hush hush

It makes a big difference

I got a discount so my place is.bout the same...also veizon is runni.g a speacial on the data plans and.doubling the service.at the same price

Only thing that sucks.right now for this phone "spectrum" is xda doesnt.even.have a.thread for it

I found root for it....super super easy to root it

Got rid.of.all the bloat...waiting for them.to put ICS ...on this dual 1.5 ghz bad boy!!!

I had this same issue for a while. For me I found a way around it, maybe it will work for you. I ended up making the nav bar an image and the different colored icons part of the nav bar image.
