[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gigatopiloto:
Hi, as the title says my Verizon galaxy S6 128 GB is slow, I mean when using finger print sensor the phone almost always takes 3-5 sec to unlock, double press home button for camera takes up to 5 sec to open the camera, when i open the game clash of clans and leave it in memory before locking the phone then the phone takes up to 8 sec to unlock. i can't run milk music because makes my phone so laggy that becomes unusable. fingerprint sensor not always recognizes my finger first attempt, when playing any game i have to wait a couple of seconds after the game loaded before playing because the phone would not recognize my touches. i just want to know if somebody else is experiencing this. i am running Cleanrom 1.5 with like 90GB free storage. is this normal on this phone, is it the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Stresa:
Did you have all of these problems with the stock firmware? I'm gonna bet not. If it runs fine on the stock firmware, it ain't the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:
Curious, but do you keep a log of what changes you make, what apps you add, configuration changes and note when you started seeing this lag?

I would not expect the phone to behave like that unless you made changes or loaded something which is causing the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gigatopiloto:
i rooted and flashed cleanrom just after getting the phone because i rely on tether, i didn't even try the stock firmware. i really do not install a lot of apps. only google apps and two games clash of clans and heartstone, as per root apps: root explorer, greenify, pryfi, titanium backup, cerberus and servicely, no themes, launcher is nova launcher
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:
So how do you know you didn't get bad hardware to start with? You should do at least basic tests with the phone to make sure you don't have hardware issues before making a bunch of changes. You no longer have the device which you bought.

You basically made it impossible to know what the issue is. Only way you are going to know is start over.. flash the stock rom, and make sure the phone works properly each step of the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gigatopiloto:
will do that and report

Flashed a different from and everything is perfect now

Anyone else have unlimited data and now are getting De-prioritized (throttled) ?

I use easily 20gb a month for the past year and never had this issue

Im getting 300 + ms pings and 0.20 mbps and lower speeds

Certain times of the day ill get 30mbps but most of the time its being throttled

Apparently I'm in the top 3% of data users

Tried making an IPV4 apn but still getting throttled

any one know of a work around?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0j0:
It's possible that you're in a congested cell, and not throttled. Have you tried moving geographically to see if that helps?

Throttling is implemented on the PCEF (Policy and Charging Enforcement Function), and it's a QoS policy pushed by the PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function) onto the PDN-Gateway. There is no workaround for unlimited users that might get throttled for network abuse, other than wait for your bill cycle reset, or use Wi-Fi. In other words, you can't "top off" an unlimited plan, at least I don't think you can.

My advice is that if you're paying for unlimited data, and you feel like you're unjustly throttled, I would call customer support. They can check your data usage and typically tell if you're flagged as a "heavy hitter" or not. If you complain loudly enough, they can (and will) remove the block, but your mileage may vary. If they resist, tell them you plan to tweet to John Legere, and they'll hook you right up. ;)

For what it's worth, I used to work as a PCRF/PCEF systems engineer. We had a "heavy data user" policy, but in our case it was only people that went over 200 GB or something ridiculous like that. If I recall correctly, roughly 20 GB/month was more or less average for an unlimited data subscriber, although I'm sure usage patterns vary from carrier to carrier, as well as implementation details on the PCC policies. Also, I believe our policy was to remove any throttling for unlimited users, no questions asked if they called to complain.

I know T-Mobile uses NSN (Nokia) for their policy vendor, but I don't know any details about their actual policies, at least not any more.

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

Also, just to be clear--I don't know if T-Mobile even throttles "heavy hitter" data users. I know it's been done, but I am not a T-Mobile employee and have no idea what their current policies are.

I would think that if they did implement QoS, the policy would not be time-based. However, anything is possible, which is why I would just call customer service.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicroMod777:
If your in a heavy cell site then you might be throttled or just congested really bad. Call 611 and ask tmo if your line is being throttled. I average about 40gb's a month for the past 6 months on unlimited LTE plan and have never been throttled yet.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
TMO throttles based on the plan that you have. Recently a Reddit thread came up where the customer filed a complaint with John Legere's office and was told that all unlimited data users will be de-prioritized and eventually removed from their system if they disagreed with the policy. De-prioritization has a chance to "kick in" after the 5 gig mark for unlimited data plans, but completely dependent on the market and how busy the network actually is. At least now if you are actually de-prioritized, you can call customer service and they would be able to tell you if the account is flagged. A few years ago, users would just wonder what's wrong with their accounts.

The bad thing about being throttled is that the OOKLA app on the market will not reflect the throttling, since TMO said they will not count data when it comes to that specific speed app, as well as many of the apps that you stream music off of.

Hope this helps.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swizzle82:
I believe the new net neutrality law disallows throttling now, unless you're in violation of the terms of agreement based on what you're using the data for.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
It's not 'throttling' if the says it's de-prioritization, right? Just a play on words really.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swizzle82:
Yeah I guess so. Gotta love verbage. I am at 29gbs of data so far this month and I'm still hitting about 75megs down and about 25 up.. Just for the ops information..
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
Exactly.

I'm on the $5 BTV data plan with TMO and regularly use about 50 gigs and still get full LTE speeds with no throttling. I love my plan, and would never even consider changing to other carriers. I mean, which other carrier gives unlimited LTE for $5 a month, right? :P
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swizzle82:
BTV? Ive got 4 for $100 with two lines increased to unlimited and 5gbs plus unlimited text on my tablet totalling about $160/mo. I get anywhere from 35-110megs depending on the time of day and my location. I really can't complain.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
BTV is basically the unlimited Android data plan that used to be $30 to new users, or $20 for current but grandfathered users - with an additional $15 discount, making it $5.

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/11/t-mo...p-migrate-customers-over-to-value-rate-plans/

I'm on a 600 minute (no overages now, so minutes don't matter) family plan with two lines for $49.99 with a $10 unlimited family texting and BTV data with a corp discount of 15% and a loyalty bonus of $10 discount per month. The bill totals out to be $90.45 after taxes with a $25/mo payment plan on the G4.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swizzle82:
Damn yo.. How long you been with TMo? Lol. I Tried to use my work discount, but they had told me that I couldn't because I already got a discounted plan. This was a while back though, might have to try again.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0j0:
Thanks for the tip about the Reddit thread. I think I found it here: http://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/342wr7/tmobile_is_now_throttling_unlimited_data/

If you put yourself into T-Mobile's shoes, how SHOULD they handle congestion? They can do what they can with existing spectrum and tower agreements, but if there IS congestion, how do you handle it?

I don't necessarily agree or disagree with the official stance, but I do understand where they're coming from. The mindset is that you, the heavy data customer, can and SHOULD accept some modest degradation in performance, especially since you're on the edge of the bell curve in data usage. If there's contention, should you suffer, or should the casual data user suffer? They choose to slightly punish the 3%, rather than the average Joes whose usage is more normal.

As I said in a previous comment, I had to deal with this when I worked as a systems engineer for a certain carrier. We put policies in place to throttle users over some ridiculously high amount, and we also sent them an SMS notification when we did so. In that case, we were looking for the REALLY heavy users, that were in the top 0.5%. The average unlimited subscriber used 10-20 GB per month, but these people were using well over 100 GB. The intent of unlimited is to avoid surprises with billing, not to provide wireless Internet service for your whole dorm or apartment complex or whatever.

Think about unlimited wireless in terms of your local all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant. Most people pay their money and eat their meal, ranging from a modest portion to a massive portion, but at some point everyone gets full. What is NOT acceptable is to sit in the restaurant from open to close, constantly gorging yourself on food. It's not an exact analogy since you can't get "full" consuming data, but you can get the idea.

Carrying the "all you can eat" restaurant analogy a little further...if you're in a buffet restaurant, and they run low on something, should they keep serving the guy that is on his twentieth portion? Or should they cut him off and let the people who have had ANY of the food eat first?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
Totally agree with you that people who are using extremely high data, typically people 100 GB and above, needs to be checked. Often times these people are using their data plans for hacked/tethering at home, which the connection is also shared with other users. A lot of times, the high data is due to downloading/torrenting.

While I'm a heavy user myself (since TMO considers anyone over 5 GB a month as heavy users), watching youtube in 1440P really eats up data very quickly. At one point in my life, I had a really crappy home internet plan and just watched Netflix off my phone nonstop. This eventually led up to about 150GB for the month.

The buffet analogy is great, but it really does show the difference between being a company and being a consumer. If the consumer's desire for the buffet is to have 100 oysters and nothing else and your company wants to stop him because he's having too much, but his sole purpose there is for the oysters - you're really telling him, "No, we don't want to service you again." This makes things sour with their customers real quick. Basically what it comes down to in the consumers eyes is, "If you can't afford to do it, then don't run the program. " De-prioritization controls the person eating 100 oysters to allow the next guy to have some oysters too, but that's not why he came to this buffet.

It's a very difficult place to be, and just like voting on taxes - no one really wins. Money has to come out from somewhere. If TMO increases their bandwidth, then there will be additional fees. We don't want to be like Sprint where they charge you an additional $10 or $15 just because you have a "smartphone." That makes absolutely no sense.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chubaan:
Yes sir!!! Im with you OP. I used to have unlimited 4g data in my plan for additional $30. But since last 10 months or so it's been bad. I would use roughly 30 to 40 gigs a month. Mostly youtube and netflix. Then after "de prioritization" or being in area of "data congestion" ( which in simple words means "throttling" imo ) i started getting about 20 gigs on high speed and after that i would be stuck with 0.1 to 0.2 mbps.

Called tmo a million times and they would always tell me that i might be connected to a tower where a lot others are connected. WHAT ?? WTF?? Why is it that i get connected to THAT tower 2 weeks after new cycle when i have used about 20 gigs? Why not in 1 week or after uaing about 5 or 10 gigs? I would be always in my room in the same spot all the time. It was all BS.

And the reps would always tell me that since im paying for unlimited high speed data i shouldn't be slowed down until one day when one of the reps mentioned being slow if im in the top 3%. Thats when i decided to let it go. I posted screen shots of slow speeds on on social media and ranted them and all that bad stuff just to let my anger out. That it really is UNLIMITED but its not UNLIMITED 4G. After certain usage you'll be stuck with 128KBPS speeds.

I was really upset with that. I cancelled that extra data plan. Saved me $30 a month and soon I'll be switching over to something else.

Well played tmo..

The magic number is updated quarterly. Right now if you go over 21GB in a congested area, you could be prioritized and slowed down.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salvatoreascend:
Here is the TRUTH! T-mobile is THROTTLING and calling in DE PRIORITIZING to protect the company's ass from an FCC lawsuit. At 21 gigs data speed dies. They say it is during busy times, blah, blah blah, but the reality is, it dies. The problem is that when the unlimited HIGH SPEED DATA users changed to this plan, there were no limits and were advertised as such, "UNLIMITED LTE HIGH SPEED DATA." The ads were on TV 24/7 three years ago. T-mobile got exactly what they set out to do, sign up millions of new customers. Those that try to see T-mobile's SIDE sound like this is an innocent mistake. That T-mobile had no idea what they were doing when they created this data plan and the network would not be able to handle the load. The TRUTH is, at least in my experience, the system had NO issues. It worked unbelievable well and NOT the typical T-mobile inconsistent signal. So, here's the deal, if you purchase something that is clearly stated, "THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE GETTING, UNLIMITED LTE 4G HIGH SPEED DATA," and the company decides they don't want to do that anymore, why aren't the customers compensated? Lower the rate of the plan since 21 gigs is what you are paying for, NOT UNLIMITED. Also, ATT got sued and lost a 100 million dollar law suit for throttling its unlimited data customers. It is only a matter of time before T-mobile is in front of a judge. Bait and switch is still against the law. Calling something a NEW made up word like DE PRIORITIZING does not change the fact customers are being throttled.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocokasper:
Yep... soon as I hit 21 gigs I get throttled to Dial up speed. I can no longer use video chat with my wife who is overseas. I can't even stream 144p without it buffering.

I average 30-50 gigs per month. When I was on metro I had zero issues. When I switched to this unlimited plan with Tmobile, I had no issues. only 1 time have I ever gone over the 100 gig mark. That was 2 years ago in december, when I was unemployed and reformatted my computer. I used my mobile for all my downloads. the past year has been just streaming music, and videos, and google hangout video chats with my wife.

Right now I can't do anything on my data. it's so slow the speedtest says "network issues" most of the time. Although Ping is 30ms.. and this is regardless of the time of day. even 3-4-5am when the towers are hardly used. low ping (faster ping than comcast), but ridiculous slow speed. and I pay $70 per month for this BS...

I'm contacting some attorneys and seeking to file a class action for violation of net neutrality. And I'm going back to metro (same towers, but I was never throttled and had really fast 4G LTE with Metro. it was faster than my buddies sprint service in my area.

Anyone with an unlimited Tmobile plan that wants to join in a class action PM me.

Anyway, I managed to format my phone, how can I restore my phone? I do have CWM installed, but I'm pretty sure that there is nothing we can do now? I can boot into CWM if I want, but there ain't much I can do. Would it work if someone would zip up their entire internal storage in CWM and send it to me, so I could restore my phone? Does it work this way? Anyway, any help is appreciated, otherwise I'll have to order a new phone probably.

Hello,

I've been having problems with the touchscreen lately. Everytime it is not 'grounded' via my PC USB cable, whenever I try to put two fingers horizontally or vertically they seems to disrupt each other ie:

http://i.imgur.com/ASwFmhw.jpg

This doesn't happen when:

1. USB connected to the PC. (seems to have the best result)

2. I hold the phone with my hands and it doesn't lie on a flat surface. (still ghost touches when I align 3 or more fingers in certain position)

3. It is hooked to a decent charger with proper grounding.

Seems like there is some kind of static charge leftovers or something that disrupts the multitouch in horizontal and vertical positions. Any way to permanently get rid of such static electricity? Or is it literally 'leaking' somewhere from within the device and the only thing I can do is RMA?

People on the MIUI forums reported similar problems but only while charing the device with improper chargers.

And then I have another 2 chargers, one is 1A, which came with my MI3 and the other one is a 750mA Nokia AC-20E which came with Lumia 520. None of these two make ghost touches or hum from mains. All depends on their filtration circuit quality. Try some other charger, for instance some Samsung charger and see if the phone is usable then.

I posted in another thread, but it seems to have been overlooked as it was more of a question regarding another reply and didn't fit, so I'll make a new thread.

While my MDA seems to be functioning fine with very little lag and no hanging, I am still interested in trying to overclock it.

What I'm wondering is what is the best program to do it and where can I get it? I've seen several threads that refer to a program that allows you to tell the program which things to speed up, which things to run at native speed, and which things to even slow down (why you would want to slow it more than native I don't know).

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I knew of one program from a LONG time ago that overclocked the omap processor, but I'm guessing there must be better things out there by now.

Crossbow reloaded has an overclocker included.

It also features variable clocking - increasing or decreasing the speed based on the percentage of current processor usage.

Mine is charging so I cannot say exactly - but it is something like....

Standard = 195

Max = 240

Boost = 265

Minimum = 69

I dropped the minimum speed as I figure it stretches the battery life - and why spin the processor to do almost nothing - ie wait for a call or text.

In reality the lowest it goes is 99 i think.
