Am I The Only One That Doesn't Get Throttled When I Use A Lot Of Data? I read on howard forums that if you remove the proxy from your apn you wont get throttled and it worked for me. maybe a coincidence. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Using a Straighttalk SIM doesn't need your device to be unlocked if used within the same network .. I am using a ST att SIM on my stil locked SR...The same is applied to T mobile SIM if used with a TM device ...

And no need to use proxy in the apn , wether it is useful in countering throttling or not , it's not necessary...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] popi09:
You can still get throttled even without the proxy on the APN. I know cause I was throttled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ysoliman:
I'm pretty sure you would still get throttled regardless, that's what happened to me

i used over 500mb in 1 day and 4 gb 1 month and didnt get throttled

I am registering right now. Waiting for the phone to start working.

Seems to be working okay. Not as fast as att was but that's to be expected. Stays on hspa.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pdtp:
well it finally happened, i got throttled down to .15Mbps. Called Straight talk told me they dont throttle and that if i have an internet connection then it is working as intended. So i tried called the BYOD number, told me they couldn't do anything for my account until i got the proper sim card. O well 15 bucks is no big deal plus i can sell my old unused nokia.

So i got the sim card, did the activation online, and transferred my number from my old Straight talk line to my new sim card. well wouldn't you know it the number port fails. My remaining time gets transferred to the new sim and i get a new number. At this point i'm freaking out as it is the middle of the night when i decide to do this and customer service is closed. Owell nothing i can do; i call them in the morning and get a really nice lady on the phone, she is able to get my number transferred to another sim card (purchased two as i have two phones with straight talk), but she cant deactivate the other one till the number port is complete so she gives me a free 30 days, woot! they are also sending me a replacement sim card because of the bad port! great customer service.

So anyways after i get the sim card activated properly with my proper number, i tell them i'm getting throttled down to .15 she re-provisions my account and all is well in the world.

TL;DR: Got throttled; purchased BYOD sim; shenanigans with number port; free 30 days; unthrottled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jookdakang23:
idk what triggers throttling cause i am one of the few users who have never gotten throttled. i install custom roms on my phone like every other day and restore my apps through play store using 4G thats 200 - 450mb. i heard something about straight talk monitors high data usage in an area/city. if they detect constant high bandwidths they then track down customers who are abusing. i live in a city with only 45,000 people so....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pdtp:
Yeah i was traveling at the time, needed to download copilot and downloaded 1.5gig in one sitting, then all the data i was using wile camping for a week, including tethering, i think it was a multitude of issues, no big deal now, it is solved.

I am really quite happy with it. All I want now is a gnote or gnex.

I was so tired of paying att 250 a month.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badpanda:
That's because you are using proxy, leave proxy blank.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badpanda:
100Mb daily, 2GB monthly and you won't get throttled... I heard late this week Net10 is offering true unlimited. Check that out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
It's not the point they provide true unlimited data or not , the point is do they provide SIM only offers ?

I also have the rocket using ST sim and I have loved it untilled recently.. my fiance and I both have these and recently updated to stock ics via Odin. Plus root for tether... 2.3.5 and .6 worked fine but ours are rediculously buggy. The part that kills me is how our data just hangs... sometimes I will even have to restart... any suggestions pm me as I'm still sort of noobish. I downloaded the stock img. From Samsung downloads or whatever u call itbut I constantly wonder if there is something wrong with the radio...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bronk93:
My data hangs using ST also, running rooted stock ics. I have to reboot once in awhile for it to pick up again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Last stupid move from Straight Talk : viber not working and blocked on data network if you use their proxy which is minimizing the data hangup issue..really stupid...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bronk93:
So if you use their proxy it limits the data hangs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Not completely...but definitely a little bit better than no proxy

Still on Straight Talk for $50 a month (after tax) and loving it.

MMS and 4G work so good. I get hspa+ 24/7 here and its fast.

Test from just now:

Its everything at&t was at half the cost and no data overages.

Edit: I find it funny that they use this kind of wording in a automated text. "Ur" is something att would never say.

I have my wife on ST and she has no issues. We are in Dallas and the only thing keeping me from it is the lack of LTE support. I need those D/L speeds in the field for my job... Other than that... ST rocks... we do the 3 month at a time deal and she loves it...

Any updates? Not paying $75 for att anymore. I ordered the $9.99 att sim with free overnite shipping. A little worried about porting my number.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] oldmacnut:
Thought I would jump in this.

I have 2 i727 phones, and 1 T989.

I use the T-mobile based Sim from ST for myself and wife.

I unlocked the i727's this past weekend using this set of instructions.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2029650

Flashed my phone with Slim Bean and the Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD

Of course I did my APN.

Ran to the Denison, TX Walmart tonight, did a speed test.

Consistent 10mb down 4mb up

Came home, same crappy 3g/g speeds...

MMS works, data, everything works. This phone the i727 is the first time I have been able to use something other than gingerbread. My T989 has never given me full 100% data + MMS using ICS or JB. that does include me using the same radio.

Hope this helps anyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Xpl0ziV9:
I've been using straight talk for about a year now bouncing around from all different at&t phones including iPhone 3gs, Captivate, Atrix, Nitro, and now the Skyrocket and I've never had any problems and hell I've never even had to unlock the phones, I just stick my SIM card in it and the phone works. I just have to do the apn settings for the data/mms to work but other than that I've never had to even root or unlock the phones for them to work and the Nitro was brand new in the packaging when I got it. So idk what that could be, maybe the SIM card?

Has anybody else had this happen to them? I'm not *****ing but I'm just curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blktalon456:
I'm getting ready to do this also. 250 for att vs 90 for two straight talk plans is an awesome savings. I love my lte speeds but O'll be ok. At least money will be saved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Prodeje79:
OK I joined Straight Talk yesterday from att. I got the att sim. I frequently get the proxy failed errors. I am using att stock ics load.

I will try removing proxy. Anything else to try?

I never had these issue with att . While I had lte for a month, I had non lte for awhile before that. No issues.

I would consider unlocking and trying the tmo sim if better.

I had the Same problem on my i717 (galaxy note) running stock ICS. Proxy errors. No datta at times etc. I could usually get data back by turning airplane mode on then off or by running opera mini ( for some reason it always runs) and the switching to browser.. I flashed the ucle2 radio as recommended for my phone. Did not help. Now have been running a custom job ROM for about a week and have not had the problem since.. So it might be something with Samsung stock ICS. DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING THAT IS NOT FOR YOUR PHONE. I just wanted to share what worked for me on similar phone in hopes it may help

4G, High Speed, ect.

A member of my extended family uses Straight Talk. He has a T-Mo sim in a Galaxy S III. According to him, Straight Talk only let him use 2G for a while at his house a few months later finally started letting him use HSPA(+) at home. Is this something they do intentionally (to get their customers to stays with them a while) or is it just T-Mobile's coverage problems? The bottom line is, has anyone had very good 4G coverage from the beginning with Straight Talk?

Is it possible that the OTA actually killed the Hotmail sync? When I first got my phone, Hotmail worked beautifully with the stock Email app, for several weeks, including Push email. Then, all of a sudden it just stopped working and I got the "Sync is currently experiencing problems" message. Hasn't worked since.

Has anyone been able to make it work again?

No. Many hotmail users with varying phones are have been experiencing the same issue.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greedyfly:
Ok people I could use some help. I think I am getting some average battery times but the score card would definitely say 'could do better'.

So what I want to know is what screen shots from BetterBatteryStats/Phone/other would I need to upload here to help someone with far more technical nous than me identify what is causing the drains and how to stop them?

To start here is my battery screen shot for today. This is with approx. 3.20hours of screen on time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
The screen is a real battery-hog due to it's size. You may want to lower brightness, that helps a lot.

For starters, please attach Kernel Wakelocks and Partial wakelocks from BetterBatteryStats, that shall show if something drains your precious juice.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greedyfly:
Excellent. I'll start with that. Would have done it this minute but I just plugged my phone in....Doh! Will upload this this afternoon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greedyfly:
OK here we go....I guessed from looking around the forums this is the best way to deliver the information? If not let me know and I'll change it.

Not sure whether this is relevant but I have Tasker turning WiFi on and off in two locations.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] member68:
Alright, let's see: Your phone's screen was on for an hour, but the phone was awake for two. That means we found a wakelock. Unfortunately I have no idea what "deleted_wake_locks" stands for. Maybe someone else knows more about this. Besides that wake lock, you seem to spend quite some time in an area with bad or no signal at all. That will drain your battery pretty quickly too as the phone is constantly searching for a better signal. You might want to turn of phone data in that area to prevent to phone from trying to get a better signal all the time. Finally, you should consider getting rid of the Facebook app. I've read that it isn't exactly gentle when it comes to saving battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewe:
Rationale: In the API available to android drivers it is advised to call wake_lock_destroy before freeing the memory of the wakelock struct that you created. This is probably done on shutdown OR perhaps if for some reason a driver is unloaded from the kernel. Whenever it does this it ads the wakelock stats to the deleted_wake_locks.

Know actions: AlarmManager itself is not generating partial wakelocks but the applications (intents) that were set to be called when an alarm goes off do. Alarms can be listed through the menu "Actions -Alarms".

Known conditions of occurence: In relation to Wifi and depending on the sleep policy wakelocks seem to be collected when screen goes off and Wifi is turned off

Your battery goes down steep all the time, but according to your screenshot of the battery stats there are 2 critical points, the latter not ending.

Please next time also include a screenshot of the menu appearing after tapping on the graph (which includes screen-on, wifi and signal quality)

According to BBS some of the issues are related to:

No or poor signal causes heavy battery drain since it keeps searching for the network until the connection is re-established.

Are you on 3G connection? If so, Facebook is a known battery drain.

Try using 2G whenever you're not needing the speed and see if that improves your battery life. (Only to test for now)

Alternatively disable Sync (all of Sync, not only Google or Facebook) and check if that improves the life.

You are on an old ROM version, try upgrading to a BLFB-based firmware or a CM9/AOSP based one. Both have great battery life improvements over the old ALEx Roms.
