Just a note to all here.....with this AT&T/T-Mobile merger....they have been injecting new clauses into everyones contract....like we wouldn't notice....you are ALL right....those who have been with T-Mobile since its conception to those dead in the middle of their contract....this chicken **** process is how corperate america gets more for less....i will however give an insight to something that bypasses the 5Gb cap.....ROOT your device, get control of your phone....after all you did pay **** tons of cash to have the latest and greatest in tehcnology....take the control of what is your property....you are simply buying a service from T-Mobile the phone is your property.....once you have ROOTED your device learn how to hack the build prop script and make the adjustments this bypasses the data cap....you get crazy download speeds they cant control....read your contract....I did and I have ADHD....I will be the first to tell you all.....there isnt a LAW on this planet that says you can't root your device.....you just loose your warranty which is gone half way through your contract agreement....I have been rooting since the G1 and ill tell you all. you can unlock the true potential of your device....now without this sounding like an advertisement cause as i read this back to me it sure looks like one....lol.....I am just trying to tell all of you....if T-Mobile has controll of your device(stock firmware)then sure they can throttle your data down.....but if you hack your own script then they cant tell your device to slow down....and they cant just tell every tower out there to drop its bandwidth.

Good Luck

Why don't you teach us what we should edit for them not to cap us?
[Vibrant General] Binary100100:
I honestly don't think that it works like that. I've had root along with several others and I've been throttled before. I've tried editing the buid.prop, services.jar, APN, etc. I'm about 90% it's the account itself that gets throttled. It's extremely simple to throttle certain IP address to specific MAC addresses. So by assuming that T-Mobile thinks that it's easier for them to EDIT the content of your READ-ONLY /system or root directory of your device to throttle your bandwidth instead of them doing it on their end is... well... just plain absurd.
[Vibrant General] kawika:
@skeetermac

I agree, if your claims are true then please teach us how. There are a number of us here that patiently await your reply.
[Vibrant General] ursubpar:
/system isn't read only. Just use "adb remount" and throttling is on the device. Last month I racked up 33+gb on my vibrant.
[Vibrant General] Binary100100:
I know how to get read only on the Vibrant. You missed my point. T-Mobile does not have su access to our devices. There's no way. What would they do if our phones weren't rooted?
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
Wait, so is there a bypass for the throttle or not?

[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I guess it's a hit or miss situation.

I reached 5GB now and I'm not throttled, now I'm going to rape their servers and download a lot of games and some other things.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
It doesnt send a text immediately after 5 gb. It may take a couple more hundred mb to receive the text and a few more hundred before the throttling actually takes place
[Vibrant General] emonero:
OMFG it's this what this forum come to? :confused:
[Vibrant General] kawika:
This is really odd. I used MobileAP last night and expected it to be gruesomely slow, it wasn't. Just took these.
[Vibrant General] vetvito:
This is bull, I'm throttled after 2gb. I've tried everything.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
You must have recently changed or you have the $20 (new) data plan.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I exceeded 5GB 2 days ago and still hitting 4Mbps.
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
Ugh. This sucks. So am I! I hate T-Mobile. :mad:
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
How many times does it need to be said? The throttle isn't in effect in every area. In some places, the throttle doesn't get implemented. Doesn't mean you did something magical to your device, or you're a secret mensa genius. Means you are one of the lucky few - that's all.

If you don't get capped - good for you.

If you get capped, join the ranks and go cry in the corner.
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
So if you live in an area where the throttle doesn't happen.. then what happens when you enter an area where it does?

Just wondering, so if I go into an area where the throttle doesn't happen (while I go over my cap and I'm throttled) will my internet speeds reach over 3mbps+ again?

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I don't think so, in my experience sometimes I get throttled the time I reach 5GB but there times that I don't get throttled at all. Hit or miss.
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
Hmmm.. Well my cycle started today and I'm using Droid Wall and turning off my data to conserve my usage. This is my first month with my Vibrant and having to watch my data use, and it's pretty tedious already, one day in. I've used 10 MB out of my 2GB cap of HSPDA.. Sigh. Hopefully next time it'll be a miss for me!
[Vibrant General] vetvito:
50mb a day and you're ok.
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Wifi does the job for now! Anyone have any other tips?

[Vibrant General] rayray430:
I'm capped every month and I always used another APN once I know the capped started then I change it back when my new cycle start. I've been doing this for the past year now and it's been fine. I'm actually capped right now until the 28th and I'm still watching Youtube, downloading music and listening to internet radio all day at work.
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
^Share with me your ways. Shoot me a message, please!
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Don't stream videos and download anything above 200mb. You Won't get capped when you do that.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i've gotten the text every month since i started using google music. i have not actually gotten throttled, though. yet.
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
I spend somewhat a lot of time (probably 2-3 1/2 hours) browsing facebook, tumblr, and twitter a day.. do you think I can survive off of 2GB a month just doing that stuff? I only stream videos on Wifi and download larger files on my computer.
[Vibrant General] rayray430:
Goto Settings --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names --> Click Option and create New APN. Then follow these settings.

Name: kill throttle (or whatever you want)

APN: internet2.voicestream.com

Proxy: <not set>

Port: <not set>

Username: <not set>

Password: <not set>

Server: <not set>

make sure you set back to your original APN when the new cycle starts. This will prevent T-mobile from catching on.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
There's a chance that you might reach 2GB because of tumblr. Just use eifi when you can and your 2GB should be fine.
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
Nice. I actually used internet2 on my iPhone (when I used an iPhone) for EDGE internet. is internet2 EDGE internet speeds?
[Vibrant General] rayray430:
No, it's H/3G speed. I can use this speed and setting for tethering my laptop.
[Vibrant General] kawika:
Yup, I think I agree with this totally. I have gotten the throttle message and ran a speed test before and I know it was stuck at around 1-2MB. This time its not that way. Hit or miss sounds like the answer. Almost like they throttled me the first few times and then stopped. I'll keep an eye on it.
[Vibrant General] n2ishun:
Just a heads up for y'all....

I was grandfathered on the old *total internet* data package and have had that for years.

It is specifically stated on my contract, and specifically says "unlimited internet".

They capped/throttled me 3 months ago @ about the 20th day of the billing cycle.

I called and was WTF, you guys messed up.

Long story short, lotsa run around, lotsa mis-direction and BS.

They would not look into it and were unwilling to even give it a honest look....they basically said FU.

This is not one CSR, this is MANY and supervisors too.

The next month I intentionally slammed the data usage to see if I would get the text and throttle again.

In less than 36 hours into the billing cycle I was throttled.

Of course calls and office visits ensued to no good effect.

The next month I really wanted to play.

You know how they lift the cap just before the next billing cycle hits ?

I was able to hit the cap BEFORE the billing cycle started.

Yes, it is EASILY possible.

So they want you to pay for a full months data charge when you can't even use it for a single second during the time you are paying for it.

Hmm, exactly what I needed to happen.

Called customer retention (damn it's hard to get to them now that ATT is controlling the shots (trust me I can prove that but it's not part of this post)).

Of course they couldn't believe this was even remotely possible and could never happen.

BUT, they were again unwilling or unable to rectify this situation.

In short, they defaulted on my contract and I had written proof due to the text and the time stamp on the text.

I bailed from Tmo due to them breaking the contract and will not be getting a ETF or owing them one penny due to thier bozo mentality and sheer greed.

Now on Sprint.

Unlimited WiMax, no cap, no throttle.

Have Evo3D.

Couldn't be happier.

[Vibrant General] Danstek:
So whats the speed with 3g after they throttle you? Im just curious since all tmobile data plans are unlimited now, I wanted to get the 200mb of high speed and let them throttle me after its used up. Would the speeds afterwords be decent enough for basic browsing?
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
iirc, throttle speeds were around 7kbps.... ._. horrible.
[Vibrant General] ali1276:
I do not think that you should post root explorer because it can count as warez because Root Explorer is a paid app.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Yep, changing APNs usually works.

The build.prop edit doesn't work. Neither does the services.jar mod. Or any other mod that's not simply an APN change. And sometimes the APN change doesn't work either. hit or miss.

The cap isn't 7kbps. It's not 2MBps either. It's 64kbps. Which equals 8KBps. No need confusing silent readers/lurkers.
[Vibrant General] kawika:
When I "do" get throttled I jump down to about 1Mbps(down) and 0.5Mbps(up), again this is only after I get the dreaded throttle message and they actually "do" throttle me. As you can easily see in the last page or 2 where I have provided my screen shots. I am being throttled technically but my speeds aren't being slowed I'm still hitting between 3-5Mbps(down) and 1.5-3Mbps(up).

- If you are wondering about usage during the throttle. As stated before in this thread, its basically like having "EDGE" speeds again.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
So, out of all of you guys that have been throttled, is anyone on an old Even More Plus Plan? (Glorified Pre-paid essentially). I've been on an EM+ Plan for 13 months. I tether a good bit. I have to upload huge chunks of data for work (sometimes 1GB or more) and I'll tether my desktop to my Vibrant because my T-Mobile's upload speeds are 4x faster than my DSL. :eek:

I've NEVER been throttled or warned about tethering. In fact, my data usage has never even been able to be calculated. Yet another reason why contracts and subsidized phones suck. ;)
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i am and have gotten the message, but never actually gotten throttled speeds. and i just checked my usage and i'm at 2.7Gb since the 20th... don't know how i'm pulling that much usage off so quickly.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
That's weird. I wonder if I'm just a "glitch" then. Online and under the "My Account" App data usage doesn't show. I'M A GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
Im perfectly happy with $20 for 4G speed and 5GB bandwidth.

Now $30 for 2 GB or $50 for 5 GB is sure highway robbery
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
I've been throttled 4 times now. When you're actually getting throttled, it's 64kbps. T-Mobile has stated this. The countless other TMO threads at t-mobile.com, xda, and howardforums confirm this.

If you think you're getting "capped", but are getting speeds higher than 64kbps/8KBps, then you're not getting capped - it's a coincidence. The text message gets sent from the billing department. The actual throttling happens locally on the cell network (and not, ahem, on the phone).
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Fml I'm throttled...I think. My download speeds are low, but my upload speeds are almost twice as high. Wtf
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Weird when I changed my APN it kept on switching back to the T-Mobile stock APN 0.o does anyone know any other method to stop the throttling I hate this :/

Flashing to Android from HD2 stock rom 3.14.405.2

Radio:2.15.50.14

SPL:SPL-2.08.HSPL

MAGLDR:1.12

I have tried flashing numerous roms and every time I do the accelerometer/g-sensor don't work. When I flip the screen 90 degrees the screen just stays the same and also when I try and calibrate the sensor the bubbles just stay in the same place. The phone also doesn't turn off the screen when I hold it to me ear during a call. I thought that the phone might have been faulty but when I went back to Windows Mobile they worked fine. Do you guys have any idea of what might be wrong? Thanks!

If the phone boots up and works for short while then HSPL is NOT the problem. HSPL only runs when you boot the phone.

Does your phone get hot right before it restarts? If so then something is overheating and causing it to shut down.

I solved the problem ....

The problem was the stupid sim card ....

Some SIM cards do get hot when they want to make this problem

Now I work all the best since I replaced the card ....

I even put Android and games and everything works:)
