Only problem with doing that, is that it is unsupported on the HD2, and is supposedly going to quit working altogether for unsupported devices here very soon.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Quit working as in closing the loophole, or quit working as in they are shutting down the legacy APNs? If the later, are they also shutting down internet3.voicestream.com that us VPN data plan users use?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
As far as I know, not the APN itself, just the loophole that lets any device use the cheaper connection.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
I believe somewhere in the g2 vision section, development threads, someone claims to have found away around it in android.
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
pffffft...

So anyhow yesterday was the "goal/finish line/end of" my throttling, and with great anticipation sought to rapidly consume another 5g of alloted use (btw, itwas og supposed to be 10g but they reduced it...).

No net whatsover, called tech and found that 3g is down and I am basically still throttled at 2g.

lol, we both laughed a bunch over the entire stuation.

I crossed over to crying which made the tech d00d laugh harder...

He went through my usage for Sept. and found 2 heavy use days, the rest were average.

Days I downloaded mad themes w/skin whatnot directly to the fone.

He has no idea when my 3g connection will be fixed.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Dude if you are seriously downloading that many themes to run over the cap, then you need some serious help.
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
I'm pretty sure you're overreacting just a wee bit.

It was 2 days of replacing all 65 (no, not literally 65) customizing downloads after hard resetting the phone.

But anywhooo, it especially blows that they as of now have no idea how to unthrottle my phone.

...the point of the thread...

not my personal usage.

not my possible need of regression scream therapy.

not my "privates".

and no, not porn.

Just the plain fact that throttling/limiting in any way my net access after signing an unlimited net access contract is playing dirty pool.

Whether any person thinks yup 'er nope, it don't be changin' no nuthin' of my own personal opinion.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Is it safe to assume that I too have been moved to 5gb instead of my grandfathered in 10gb?
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
Pretty much yes.

***verification of information source***

When I cal tmo I say "pda" to avoid sales/cheer squad operators, and move right into tech supportland.

Then I will verify that the tech is a fellow Leo owner through a series of loaded questions; the answers of which would only be known to an actual Leo owner.

He did indeed say that the "new" limit is down from 10gb to a savory and delectable 5gb.

***end***

Beats spending money on building anymore of those pesky cell towers that would accomodate subscribers' needs.

Look be happy tmo even let's you breath their air on their planet okay?

I remember a time before cell providers had such immense power and control over the world...now, these things are as important as air...at an ever evolving price.
[HD2 General] aarons6:
comcast tried someting like this and got sued..

nowhere does it say 5gb is the limit.. it does not say ANYWHERE on my contract they willl thottle the speed if i use too much data..

it also says right on the home page of tmoble that they have the "fastest 4g speeds"

so that means if your 4g phone, hd2 is hspda+, compatible isnt getting 4g speeds, they are not holding up to their contract..

also.. on my usage page it says

Data: 0 / Unlimited Megabytes

Service	Used	Included	Remaining	Charges

Data	0	Unlimited	Unlimited	$0.00

here ill take a pic to prove it.

i use my phone a lot, that blockbuster app that it CAME with uses a lot of data and its nice to be able to watch movies ON DEMAND.. of course it stops working once you get throttled..

anyway ive called in and complained every single month since they made me sign up for "unlimited" data..

maybe everyone should.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
What everyone seems to not understand, is that you ARE NOT paying for speed, you are paying for ACCESS to a service. If T-Mobile wanted to crank the speed on down to GPRS, they have all the right in the world todo so, just as long as they don't limit your access as far as MB or GB is concerned. As in, if you use 5GB on your unlimited data plan, then your data will no longer function. If THIS where to occur, then yeah...sue away, you got every right. But as it is now, in the TOS, T-Mobile reserves the complete right to alter network connection speeds as they see fit, IE, you go ove 5GB, they throttle you down to EDGE or 1x for the rest of your billing cycle. You people really need to understand these simple facts. T-Mobile isn't entitle to deliver you 4G, 3G, 2.5G or even 2G...all they are entitled todo is grant you access to their data network for as long as you want.
[HD2 General] aarons6:
ok so your telling me that if you say bought a fancy sports car and for the first 100 miles you could go as fast as you wanted, but then after 100 miles you were limited to 25mph you would be perfectly happy with that because you can still drive?

me no im not happy, i purchased a fancy sports phone with the capability to watch steaming video, and download movies from the blockbuster video app...

now once i hit that cap of whatever tmobile decided was the fair usage i cant even load web pages at a fair speed.. nowhere did it say when i signed up that i could only use my phone the way i wanted to for a few weeks then i had to wait till next month before it would start working again..
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Think about it, and read the T-mobile TOS...T-Mobile reserves the right to at any time change the terms of your contract or access to their services. That is all they are doing. And really, if you don't like it, then go to another carrier...and hit that 5GB and have NO DATA whatsoever...oh and pay more for the same speeds...or in the case of ATT, LESS speed because of all the iTards connecting constantly. Seriously, you all are whineing over something that you- A-cannot change, B-knew about in advance so you really can't say ZOMG I NEVAR NEW, and C-is totally within T-Mobile's right to enforce. I'm not trying to say get over it...oh wait....I am. Seriously folks, no ammount of crying to T-Mobile is going to get them to uncap you. I've been with them for 11 years one way or another...and I hit my cap 2 days ago.
[HD2 General] djdanska:
Good lord, i hate analogies. Not sure about everybody else but t-mobile NEVER since i have had them (2003) said i had unlimited speed. I always had unlimited access. And now we resume with the awful analogies on how wrong i am and how X person has every God given right to tether for 10+ gigs on a mobile connection using a $5.99 t-zones plan. :(
[HD2 General] Darthvayd3r:
I never had an issue with hitting 5Gigs until I got the myTouch 4G. I hit 5Gigs in 2 weeks last month and only have 1.1 Gigs left with 2 weeks to go. The bad thing is the throttle speed is 100 kb/s. That's hard to swallow when I'm use to 4Mb/s and greater. I also have Tmotv. It doesn't work when you are throttled. That is unsat! I've been a customer for over 8 years with an old data plan contact that they are not respecting. There has to be a way around this
[HD2 General] djdanska:
Not sure if it works for everybody, but when i changed my apn to internet2.voicestream.com, it went back to normal.
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
Deal with it. Throttling is one of the few ways that everyone gets to enjoy fast speeds.

I for one prefer the throttling. :)

[HD2 General] regerer:
So you're suggesting he cut back on the usage of a service he pays for to appease the phone company? interesting
[HD2 General] regerer:
The problem with your post is simply when your data is throttled all those little data heavy extra services and features that t mobile advertised with this phone are now rendered virtually useless.
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
When I first got my HD2, I tethered it to my PC and played a ****ton of MW2 with about a 140 ping. Not wonderful, but perfectly fine to kill folks.

As for throttling, I challenge you to find something in your contract that contradicts or flies in the face of what you think unlimited data is. Actually I take that back. It's clear what you perceive as unlimited data is incorrect.

Moral of the story: If you are about to sign a two-year deal for ANY service of ANY type with ANYONE, read the friggin' contract. If you didn't read the contract before you signed the dotted line, you really don't have a whole lot to complain about. Your data is still unlimited. Can you watch Blockbuster movies 24/7/365? Hell no. I'm with Poison Wolf on this one.

And to the answer of 'when did cell companies get so powerful?'

The day they came into existence.
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
i bought my leo from a tmo store so as to get all of my questions answered properly.

WalMart was not an option, the Radio Shack is meh.

I asked specifically about throttling from a sales associate who owned a leo.

"Absolutely no way".

yeah, yeah read the contract.

psh did you?

I'm sitting there, drooling over my soon to be dream machine sitting on the counter 1' away from me, other patrons looking jealous at the last leo in stock about to carry my cell # not knowing when the next 4 are going to arrive, confused and blissfully unaware of some 5 page 4 million word (in small print) contract written in legalese...

Jackholes and their " read the contract" buncha yap...c'mon, they misled people.

I'll bet good money that Dippy the tmo sales goon would have disputed any parts of the contract that may have steered me away from his sales commission.

beleed dat nukka!

wut.
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
tmo throttling the uk at 500mb?

guess i should feel better now...

latest statement came in @ 14,255.104mb of data usage @ 3g speeds.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I find it sad to read threads like these.

Remember when it was okay to put "Going Out Of Business" signs up all over your store, but then remain "In Business" two weeks later when the signs came down?

Remember when it was okay to put "handle" holes in the sides of cardboard boxes without someone suing you when the handles ripped out and the 80lbs of rocks they were carrying fell and broke their foot?

Remember when it was okay to use terms like "Unlimited Warranty!" and "Lifetime Replacement Guarantee!" or "200% Satisfaction Guarantee!" on your products and then safely refuse to replace them when someone asked?

Remember when you could lie to your customers, right to their faces, and the only repercussions you might face is the loss of those individual customers?

What is the world coming to, I ask you?
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I had to start a new reply in order to get out of the tone of the last reply I made. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

First, I would be extremely upset if T-Mobile "throttled" me by pushing me back to 2G because I went over the 5GB limit. This is because I didn't know (until this thread) that there was such a limit.

Second, I would be extremely upset if I found out that my last call dropped because some idjit in the area was tethered to his laptop and downloading 4 gigs of Anime from Usenet on his lunch break, overwhelming T-Mobile's network and refusing new connections to the same tower.

Third, well, there is no third. Sorry about that. I realize you probably had your hopes up, but I have nothing to add here. I think my first two points have pretty much summed up my argument.
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
tmo sez only 1% of users ever reach 5g, so if this is true their netwerk is poop. I use my phone for 90% of my internet browsing due to travel, and not sitting in front of a P.C. which is why I smarted up with tmo in the first place.

wifi is too spotty fer me...sorry if you get "cut off" mid sentence during your call, but that wasn't a factor in my unlimited plan choice.

I have roamed the net and it seems that more than not people who signed up before the change are peeved about the change...I've been with tmo for 6 years now, and this is bollocks.

happy surfing!
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:

Hey guys,

I have a Tmobile USA HTC HD2.

It has HardSPL flashed.

I've had no problems retrieving my Hotmail on my HD2 until today.

Suddenly I keep getting an error message that says, "The Windows Live ID service requires a certificate, but yours isn't working. YOu can probably fix this by updating the time and date in your device's settings. After you do that, try connecting again."

Any idea how to fix this?
[HD2 General] juggs:
Sounds like a stupid question but you didn't mention if you did; Update the time and date? Soft Reset?
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
yeah, if you've been playing in android land, your time can be way off (months), check the date and time.
[HD2 General] nova hands:
You guys were right.

I actually tried this the first time, but it didn't work.

Wasn't until I rebooted and did it again that it finally stuck.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] van48:
Hey everyone,

im new to the android OS. i rooted the phone and today i decided to mess with the sprint hot spot feature. i wasnt prompt any error codes or have any fee agreement pop up. i simply click activate and bamm, wifi. so the question is, would i be charge the $30 since nothing was prompt or is it a sneaky thing sprint do and bill me later? or maybe it was a feature one click root did. thanks for the answer. i tried to search but couldnt find a solid answer.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
I'd be careful with that! Might be getting that $30 fee added on as a surprise. If you are rooted, you don't need hotspot, just download Wifi tether from the market. it's free for sure. no surprises!
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
I also second that, I would stay away from the Orig Sprint Hotspot feature if you are not paying for it. Dont be surprise if you see a $30 charge on the bill, like stated above from jirafabo just root like you did already and use the wifi tether program if you really need some sort of wifi tethering. It operates on the "N" 802.11 network so as long as your laptop can see a "N" network you can connect.
[Epic 4G General] van48:
alrighty. by any chance anyone figure out how to make the phone tether over usb by using the option already available once plugged in? i dont have wireless N and just want a one click system.
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
I don't think wifi tether uses N. It should work with the usual a//b/g channels

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
you can try wifi tether and see if you dont broadcast on the "n" network, but when I go over the wifi icon on the laptop the epic is running radio 802.11n adhoc network.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756804 <----now you can install this, it run on the 802.11g radio infrastrucrture mode. This is what I use since my companys laptop will not connect to wifi adhoc.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803335 <-----found this for you, it is a kernel what will allow usb tethering if you will like to try.
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
Did you try using it as a hotspot? Mine starts up without any prompts and I can see if from the computer but I can't get on the internet. I noticed that as soon as I activate the hotspot it kills the 3g signal. I assumed this was Sprints way of protecting it. I didn't think it was a problem on my end.
[Epic 4G General] 1sl02:
I have been using mine rooted for a while with the wireless tether app 2.0.9pre5 (i think). I think this is just because of the signal quality i'm getting, but my 3G speeds are only around .5mbps down and .3mbps up (if i'm lucky, lol). Anyone else getting anything faster? I have only been on sprint for a couple months now and prior to that, i had AT&T, which seemed a bit faster. I realize there are differences between the networks, but i would have figured EVDO to be nearly the same speed.
[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
The built in USB tether doesn't work for me (I don't have the PAM/hot spot add on).

But I use Easy Tether for USB tethering. It works fine. Google it.

I'm on basic data plan and not rooted.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Okay, just installed this on the MixUp kernel, and it works like a charm.

Wifi Tether is a nice app, but the solution above is hands-down superior and the way to go. Very simple, works in infrastructure mode so it will act as an AP for anything, and is nicely integrated in with the rest of the software through the settings panel.

This is DA BOMB!

One question from a noob, though: I applied this MOD through clockworkrecovery, the same way I flashed the MixUp kernel. This didn't replace the kernel or anything, right? I'm not running a different kernel now, am I?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
No it didn't...recovery flashing = just replacing the files in the zip to the ones in your system...in this case it replaced only the MobileAP.apk and a few other files..and thats it. The kernel should be fine.
[Nexus One General] yangwooko:
From today, Korean N1 users will get OTA to upgrade to 2.2.1. According to some sources, the update includes;

* Existing 2.2.1 ROM (4MB)

* Localization for Korean (5MB) including Korean keyboards, emergency call numbers and so on.

AND

* Patch for Qualcomm QSD8250 chip (12MB) that resolves

- Buffer overflow vulnerability in processing of GSM L2 messages

- Buffer overflow vulnerability in PS call accept processing

- Buffer overflow vulnerability in processing Attach Accept message

- Buffer overflow vulnerability in processing Emergency Num List IE in Registration Accept Message

Does this mean that 2.2.1 ROM OTA'ed in other countries are vulnerable to buffer overflow due to lack of such a patch? Or, does this already addresses by other **custom** ROMs?

[HTC Oxygen] tobbbie:
As the ROM update seems to be broken in the OS part, you need to get the device in bootloader mode and restart your flashing in that state.

To get it forced to bootloader mode:

1.) push and hold the camera key

2.) insert USB cable (keep camera key pushed)

3.) wait until white screen appears

4.) release camera key

-> 3 color screen should appear

Restart your flashing now.

This is how it works for all (at least those I had) HTC devices in that scope.

Good luck :-)

I just recently flashed the two updates for the tmobile froyo and everything seems to be acceptable if not very good except for the 3D Gallery it is boarderline non-functioning when i open it- it just sits there and is very slow i have a class 6 8GB microSD card and the speed of the gallery is unbearable it takes a very long time to load the image groups (folders) (i sat there for more than 10 minutes at the gallery screen) is there anything i can do? Ive already done a factory reset (before that i got force closes all the time)

EDIT: if theres no fix to the epic slowness of the 3d gallery is there anyway (...i doubt there is) to put the old 2D gallery back on (but still be on froyo)
