[EVO 4G Android Development] lahma69:
How do you people get such incredible 4g speeds? I commute between Corpus Christi (TX), San Marcos (TX), and Austin (TX), and I never get more than 4 or 5mbps and those speeds are very infrequent. I can NEVER get more than a few minutes of continuous 4G coverage when driving through "supposed" coverage areas (clearly highlighted throughout Sprint's local brochures.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] INDIANAJONNY:
I probably average 5mbps, just peaking at 10 during a large download. It seems to get faster the bigger the DL. If I test with the speedtest app it usually says 4mbps.

So as you drive through testing the connection you'll probably only get those lower results.

I also can't seem to get wireless tether above about 3 mbps. I can only get 10 mbps with wired tether.

Do others have this problem?

[EVO 4G Android Development] 1Brite1:
Is there a list of which roms this actually will work on? I have tried it on several, i.e.; Sacs HD both versions, Myn's RLS beta 5, Salvage, several versions of the EVO official versions. On Myn's, I get the bootloops. On the others, it seems to go thru, but I end up on the "Brite" screen of white with the Htc/Evo logo but it never goes any further.

I have a Sprint tower about 300 feet from my house with no 4G. I know for a fact that they cap as my speeds will range from usually 100-500kbps....and will dribble down to about 5-7kbps when downloading roms. I usually download after I go to bed as it takes 7-8 hours just to download a new rom. It gets very frustrating to find out it lost connection and I have to start again, even using a download manager. I use about 20-45GB a month of usage and it is only for downloading roms, apps, updates, youtube, pandora...no movie or torrent usage.

When I had the Sprint Instinct, they actually were getting after me for using more than 5GB per month even though I was on the actual "real unlimited plan" before they changed it to "unlimited plan" of 5GB. Finally, they said they would let me out of my contract 1 year early without EFT if I just opted to end contract and renew under the "new" plan. I was so mad with all of the hassle after 21 years with them, I went with Verizon.....and then saw that the EVO had real unlimited with 3G or 4G. So, I paid an EFT to Verizon. But, my speeds are verrrryy slooooow. So, yes, they can and do cap on 3G. 4G they say not yet as not enough people are utilizing it yet. So, I need this to work to see if it will help from the dribbling of bandwidth.

Hate you left BT. Good luck over there making the EVO family happy. You will be missed bro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dangerruss:
Clear which is sprints 4g provider throttles. especially if the towers are overloaded. I'm pretty sure they start throttling at 8gb. Engadget wrote an article on it not very long ago.

Hey BT i know you said in the op that this will work on any rom but the new framework is sending things in to a bootloop can we get this updated plz
[EVO 4G Android Development] suprano:
bootlooops on Ava Z1 rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattykinsx:
OP says he will be creating a list.

The problem is this type of a file is usually ROM specific.

If you have flashed anything that modifies this file in any manner or if the Dev of the ROM you're using modifies this file, at all, then you're likely to receive boot loops.

OP said that the file post is for Myn's Rls 4 so it likely won't work on any other ROM.

With that all being said it seems like the Evo is NOT subject to this sort of Govenering.

As evidence by the multiple 30 GB / month users that can attest to it.

I feel inclined to point out that the amounts that you people suggest you use are the exact reasons why mobile providers are going to completely change the structure of their internet plans. [And I assure you it will be done server side]

There are four people on my plan.

Evo, Epic, Pre and Pro Touch 2.

Everyone uses their phones a lot, I use probably the most and we probably, all together use 2 GB a month. Likely much less.

I can understand using more once in a while...but 30 gb or more a month every month?

I'm sorry but that's clear abuse.

Why don't you guys just go sit outside Dan Hesse's house with signs that say "please get rid of unlimited internet" because that's exactly what you're doing.

It would be different if you purchase a mobile card and use that much data on that because that's what they're for.

The unlimited data for your phone is meant just for that...your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] deathsled:
there's nothing like a fix for a problem that isn't even there lol (for Sprint users at least). It's amazing how many people are downloading (and reporting problems lol) this after people keep supplying evidence that there is no throttling lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Capping and throttling are two seperately different topics. I would be interested what tools folks are using to test the former since I would be interested too
[EVO 4G Android Development] seriousblack25:
Nandroid backup before Flashing then Nandroid restore
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrRyder:
Lol. I applied this just to see what would happen. No bootloops for me. I make my own rom. Also, doesn't even seem like it did anything. I did a speed test and nothing changed. But, since I didn't receive a bootloop, I'll just leave it how it is. Ho harm done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i am not sure a speed test would show anything concrete as i would imagine this is a month to month if it is in fact implemented and based on you reaching a certain data threshold. again, if you can implement it into your ROM and it doesn't hurt it, might as well...who knows what might happen next week
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greenfieldan:
I'm still kind of confused what this does :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattykinsx:
Well, if you skimmed the thread, essentially nothing--for sprint users.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hamspiced:
far as i can tell... for rooted evo users its a bootloop app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
again i would question the tools you used to determine this as folks think cap's and throttling are one and the same. unlimited data is one thing but if your speeds after 5GB is reduced in half i would feel slighted. i would argue a speed test doesn't equate to real testing
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattykinsx:
Okay but claiming something occurs, simply because another carrier DOES it, isn't proof it occurs.

You have people in this thread that abuse the system and use 30 gb + a month not noticing ANY change.

When they speed test it tests fine.

So is there anything really wrong with the evidence provided?

I think until proof is provided that there is actual capping/governing going on, nothing is going on at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i don't dispute that it very well may not be occurring, however if the ability is there to eliminate it, why disregard it? running a speed test every once in a while does not equate to factual data that throttling occurs. i think we don't have the tools in place to test that at least not the average user or power user. with that being said, why not include it in a ROM build? again, i am not claiming i know one way or the other, but if this method prevents it from ever occurring, it would be silly not to incorporate this like all the other tweaks into future roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hamspiced:
If i could test this i would, His origional post before edit said it should work on any rom.

I couldnt test it. Since then op has edited the post.

The only thing this does now for us, untill fixed of course, is give us an awesome view of our boot animations.

Wouldn't mind knowing this too, BUT that link here at the bottom it states the mod to the file will likely serve zero purpose to those not on Tmobile or Bell, b/c others throttle data differently.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1Brite1:
Well, my justification is that if you are paying the $30.00 per month extra to use the mobile hotspot.....it is designed for up to 8 devices to connect and use the internet, they even advertise that feature....besides....I don't think that the Sprint website acurately accounts for what I am downloading. I know from using different apps, when I am downloading say...a 180MB file....one app will say it is almost triple that amount-another will say double etc. I know downloading a new rom every night should not equal to 45GB per month, but that is what my Sprint account shows. So, who knows? I just want what I am paying for without throttling.

[EVO 4G Android Development] fachadick:
Saw this pic in another thread, so I thought I'd hunt it down and clarify some things. Sprint does not cap or throttle on-network data on the evo or epic.

First of all, the peak download speed figures in the image are the peak download speeds you can get with the various services, not at what point they'll start to cap or throttle you. The fastest (or peak) advertised speed you're supposed to be able to get on 4g is "faster than 10Mbps", vs the fastest (or peak) advertised speeds you're supposed to get on 3g which is up to 3.1 Mbps.

More importantly though - that image has nothing to do with sprint 4g phones - it describes the rates for data cards ONLY. You can see the same grid on the sprint website here (you get to that pop-up by hitting the 4g coverage link next to any of the 4g data cards on sprint.com). Sprint has always capped 3g data at 5gb for data cards - this is no secret.

If you hit that same link (for 4g coverage info) next to the evo or epic, it brings up a similar page, and if you go to the Speeds tab, under Monthly download limit, it says "All you can stream, browse, email, chat, watch and game while on our network." It also has a pointer to fine print that says "Monthly download limit applies to 3G/4G phones, not 3G/4G Mobile Broadband devices." to show that the unlimited data it mentions is for phones and not data cards.

It's a great hack, but doesn't really help us with how sprint currently bills...

Reread the first post and use the alternate method. Or if you're lazy just replace your services.jar with the attached file... unzip and rename appropriately. It's in /system/framework/ . Must be done from recovery - you will have to mount the /system partition.

Out here (chicago) I didn't have much of a throttling issue before. Depending on time of day, 3g speeds were .5-1.5 mbps down, and up to 1mbps up, while 4g was 5-10 mbps down, and 1 mbps. So really the only throttle I see/had was the 4g upload.

Suffice to say, implementing this hack did not change my 4g upload speed.. It's still stuck at ~1mbps which implies the throttle is being done on a server level, not on the phone. Although, the fresh rom did contain those 7 throttle files in the classes.dex library. In conclusion, it made no difference on the throttling for me :) All that work for nothing - I did learn to unpack and repack java files though ;P

ymmv

[EVO 4G Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Answer for those asking if this will work on there Droid phones... NO it will not. Also this hack does nothing for Sprint users because throtting is done server side, not client side on your phone. Plus the zip file will ONLY install correctly on the file system it was based on. Therefore the zip will cause infinite boot loops if you flash this on a different system than what it is made for.

If you really must know for yourself that this hack does/doesn't work, flash myn's newest RLS 5 Rom and he has this hack as a separate zip download on his Rom thread. This hack only works on the system it was based from. Unless you manually make the edits yourself on your current system. Still this does nothing for Sprint users. And I seriously doubt it will on Verizon either. Initially this throtting hack was effective on gsm networks, not cdma.

If performed properly, I don't see how this could possibly lead to a boot loop or white screen.

boot into recovery

#make a nandroid backup of system to be uber safe..

adb shell

mount /system

mount /sdcard

cp /system/framework/services.jar /sdcard/services.jar

cp /sdcard/services.jar /sdcard/services.jar.bak

#perform steps by OP and replace the services.jar on your sdcard

cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar

#wipe dalvik-cache

reboot

You could even do the above using root explorer, just making sure to reboot into recovery & wipe dalvik after replacing the services.jar file in /system/framework.

Whether or not you see a difference is debatable, or likely placebo, unless you have consistent speed tests before and after (I guess). I find comfort in simply removing something that says "Throttle" at all, especially knowing it can easily be restored. Good luck!
