[Nexus S Accessories] krohnjw:
I picked one up after everyone said it was the same as the N1 sleeve. For the price it is definitely a nice little case, but the quality is a drop from the N1 sleeve (not a huge deal, but not what I was expecting based on the comments in the other thread).

No look at my bill cycle date and the date in the notification bar and time
[Vibrant General] Shaul305:
aside from the screwup on TMo's end for not starting off the billing cycle the day of (in your case), I find it ironic the message beneath your data usage. Today they sent me a txt with the same msg, put it like this it took me 5 min to download the 3.5mb file that is tweetdeck. shame. all that tethering internet crap caught up to me this month :'(
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
Ah, I see. I think Tmobile's hours of operation are on pacific time here in the states. Another hour and forty-five minutes and you should be good.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Same here I wish there was no cap why is there tethering with a cap, illogical, tmo= fail but still cheaper than att
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I believe they can (not saying they will) throttle you for the month following as well, if they feel you (and others like you) are impacting the quality of service for others.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
To be fair, T-Mobile isnt charging for tethering (from what I know) and it still has unlimited access whereas other companies charge you more for going over or simply has a hard cap
[Vibrant General] aneftp:
Just to add to this post.

Tmobile changed their "unlimited" to a soft cap at 5GB last fall.

But people like me on the old grandfathered 19.99 BIS plan (yes my BIS works perfectly with my Samsung Vibrant). Aren't grandfathered plans like mine; isn't the soft cap on old users like me at 10GB? instead of 5GB.

I never even reach 1GB on a a good month even with tethering on the Vibrant. But I don't tether that much.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Please do not spread further misinformation on this.

Only Verizon has stated they'll do this. T-Mobile never once said that they would do that. They never have done that.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
d0es removing the cap procedure with providing different APN still works ? if yessss screw you tmo ;P hope u wont catch me doin it tho :Ppp
[Vibrant General] eltormo:
Is not actually unlimited,because when they throttle you pages hardly ever load,the phone is good just for making call and sending text,other than that is completely worthless.

They actually throttle you so hard to 56KB because it is actually the best workaround to actually stop you from using your data,without actually and completely stopping your connection,and they can still claim that it still is unlimited.

Now they are advertising here the Vibrant 4G,with bells and whistles as a 4G phone capable of blazing fast 21MB connection on their 4G HSPA+ network all in very big letters.

And when you read the incredibly small and almost unreadable letters it say HSPA+ 4G no available in Puerto Rico..:eek:

And some how their adds are not misleading.:rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] ntellegence:
I totally agree. I first used to get a text saying I hit the 10gb limit then it changed to 5gb. I'm on the g1 plan. Tethering is also not the only culprit. I download mixtapes (for promotional use only) to the phone. I stream. Some of the newer games have some big files to download. Why use wifi I paid for unlimited no quotes web.
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
Actually tmobile does state it in the fine print if you look at it.

Deja vu. :-P
[Vibrant General] ntellegence:
LoL. I went into the myaccount app and tried to set an alert for data. It said due to the fact I have an unlimited data plan I can't use this feature. So the app thinks just like me.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
They did that to me once. Throttled me less than 24 hours until my cycle renewed. Like less than a day matters, apparently it does to them though. Tmo FTW!

Edited, when throttled, it was my experience that turning on edge only data was much faster than the throttled 3g. It seems they don't throttle the edge side, just the 3g data.

[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Where in the fine print does it say that they're going to cap you for your *next* billing cycle as well?
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
How do you get to edge I knew how to in my cliq and mytouch slide but not this phone.

[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
4G's faster downloading = Throttles faster.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Thank you, but you forgot to mention that you have to pick GSM only.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
You asked how to get there, I figured you knew how to toggle it from what you had said. It also depends on what software you're on whether it calls it Edge or GSM.

Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant via the XDA App
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
I personally have never been throttled so I wouldn't know what speed its at when throttled.. I was under the impression it was at edge speeds. I tether about once a week and I rarely go over 2gb... I believe I hit 2.5gb as a personal best.

Just fyi, text and phone calls do NOT use data, it uses cellular signals.

I'm with you, I hate t-mobiles advertising schemes but they are true to their word, they give you unlimited access, even if its a huge decrease in speed.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Switch to edge, and use everything it can to suck more data out of those assholes.... Pandora while sleeping, download huge files at night or while on standby........ Burrrrrrrrn caps
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Well I'm using bionix 1.3 ...it's practically on par with Loki ;) it's not as simple as Loki that's the reason I loved that rom. Yeah true it was a n00bish question to ask LOL sorry.
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
well in my area,edge is also soft capped to 56k l...k used to switch to edge when throttled as it WAS 3x faster than throttled 3g. nowadays I just use 3g when throttled since edge has wayyy higher ping
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
Loki shows the same, gsm as opposed to edge. I think stock eclair shows edge and 3g. I was assuming what software yaddayadda. Glad you got it fixed up.

Damn thats gotta be a pain. I havent been throttled since tmo has changed their data plans, I wonder i fthey changed the way they throttle as well.

Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant via the XDA App
[Vibrant General] eltormo:
Here to capped at 56KB on Edge as well,this place is full of moles from T-mobile,any workaround found will be quickly patch,because is post here and those moles go there and tell about it,just like Samsung read this forum so does T-mobile,which is why i ask for the throttle thread on the developers forums to be lock.because every single workaround will be find fast any way,because this site is full with T-mobile Employees.
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
since we are talking about tethering, is there any way to make my phone a wireless hotspot, i downloaded the Open Garden app, but it doesnt do it!

thanks
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Mobile AP in wireless network, barnacle,and wireless tether (find on Google, not on market) all the ways I know
[Vibrant General] newdad28:
I've been reading about TMO's throttling for the past hour or so...trying to find a way around it. If anyone's got good info on this, please PM me the info or link or whatever. Been with TMO for 5 years, been loving my full 4G coverage (I tether constantly), but after using almost 10GB last month and 3 days into my new billing cycle already at 6GB, I expect to be throttled any second.

I'll die when that happens if there isn't a workaround for it!
[Vibrant General] niftydl:
I am sorry, I hate data caps as much as everyone else - but using over 10 gigs every month and tethering all the time make you a network hog.

If you need to use that much data all the time, you should get a data stick for your laptop. Your phone data plan is not an ISP replacement.
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Then why do they charge as much for data as the phone company charges for DSL?
[Vibrant General] ipetloudog:
I love u [no homo]
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
Probably as a convenience fee, as you would otherwise have to go home every time you needed to use the internet. The caps on the satellite internet internet I used to have would kill you all. Over 400mb in any 24 hour period and you'd be dropped down to 10kb/sec.
[Vibrant General] rmeden:
Ummm because sending data over mobile wireless is more expensive to do?

Think about it... Host much would it cost to have a network link from your living room to your kitchen. Now how much would it cost to have a network link from your kitchen to anywhere in your city. (include all infrastructure, your building your own network in this theoretical exercise)
[Vibrant General] newdad28:
Couple issues:

I have been paying for "unlimited" data for ...about 3 years. Until very recently I've hardly used any data at all. I'm not happy about the *

So I can resign up for another 2 years with TMO, for more "unlimited" data with a data stick right? But am I screwed there too? While paying over $50/mo between the two devices, just for data alone?
[Vibrant General] k4ylr:
This is all old news. You aren't even "supposed" to tether your devices, hence the reason we need to get market or other apps to make it work.

*****ing and moaning about getting capped for a service you aren't technically supposed to use is ridiculous. Be glad a throttle is all you get....
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Actually TMobile allows tethering, but they try and charge u 15 bucks for it. Ive noticed the built in access point and tethering work but pdanet and stuff wont work without paying tmobile the 15... blackmail?

As for the data thing... i pay 30 beans for it on my phone, and 30 beans at home for cable... now didnt my cable company have to set up the infrastructure too??? But they dont cap me after anything. The cell providers are doing it cuz they know they can get away with it and in the future will charge probably more like 50 or 60 for unlimited data, which is ludacris.

Unlimited means unlimited. Capping someones speed at 56k speed... if that is not unlimited.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
really? since when? i pay about $25/month for data for my phone. maybe dsl/cable is cheaper where you live, but where i live you are looking at roughly $50/month. for a no cap data plan, tmob would have to charge something more aligned with the current going rate so it would be $50-60, which is double or more what you are currently paying.
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
Yep, you live in a high competition area that's why you are getting those rates for dsl/cable.

We pay $50ish a month for dsl that is slower than internet on my phone.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Where do you live?!?! Dsl rates here are only $10-$20 wtf or im extremely high! Wow.
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
Arizona, there are basically only two companies for internet here. For cable internet we are stuck with Cox, for dsl internet we are stuck with Qwest.
[Vibrant General] darkside79:
Just wait till TMobile gets bought by AT&T! Probably get charged if you go over the 5gb cap. Yea I hate Throttling too. So slow that pages wont load most of the time and 10 mins to download a app from the market! Total BS!
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
for what speed? cause no one cares about some 1.5mbps econopackage. and that doesn't include the phone line or dry line required.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i don't have a big problem with 3g throttling, but this is absolute bull****:

http://gizmodo.com/#!5797273/shed-a-tear-the-age-of-broadband-caps-begins-monday

att capping their broadband customers.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
No they're not. I lived in Kansas City for 6 years. 6mbps down (slower than your vibrant) with 768kbps up (much, much slower than your vibrant) costs at the very least $40/mo for dry loop. If you're on uverse, it's pretty much the same.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Are you guys talking about hard wired dsl or like road runner?
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Pick your poison. I've had both RoadRunner Cable, and ATT DSL in that time. Even toyed with EverestKC before they became Surewest.

I'm sorry, but comparing hardwired internet via DSL or Cable to wireless internet over cellular is comparing apples to oranges.

It's like comparing a dump truck to a vespa. They both have wheels and can transport people. That's where their similarities end.

Same goes for DSL/Cable vs Cellular data. Just because they both provide internet access doesn't mean they are cut from the same cloth. Far from it, in fact.
[Vibrant General] glenelgstudio:
Dont ever upgrade your plan with tmob they always get you. The new unlimited plan is capped at 2gigs for $79. I have a old plan that I always go over 5gigs and never get throttled. Data is king of the future they give you more minutes to cut your data. In case you want to know my plan is 1500 min unlimited data blackbery but no text included. All phones work on my plan blackberry android iphone

[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
I don't know how, but i reach the 5GB a few days ago, got the tmobile text saying I was being throttle but my speeds haven't changed. The odd thing is when I run a speed test, the first test will be slowed down(throttle speeds) but the following tests will go back to normal. Browsing, radio, video all play smooth. So maybe there is a way to bypass it.
[Vibrant General] Cartigan:
What the hell do people do on their phones to go over 5Gb? I guess if you tethered it and downloaded big ass files...

The internet is rather file driven these days but that's still like 200Mb a day.
[Vibrant General] glenelgstudio:
Some people are getting rid of there home phone service and also home internet also so 5 gigs can go by fast for some and others may never reach 1 gig. My point was that the cellphone internet speeds are getting faster so the providers are trying to lower the data. The new unlimited data is 2gigs down from 5gigs down from 10gigs down from unlimited. At 21mbs speeds you could use that up in about 10 minutes.
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Well I don't have a computer, so i don't tether. I'm always listening to Last.fm so it uses a lot of data. I rarely watch videos but do download a lot of apps. Trust me 5GB goes by fast.
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
I watch a ton of youtube videos everyday, and stream pandora. I don't tether , and every month i'm at 4.5GB's. I don't think i'm abusing anything, i'm merely using my pocket computer the way it should be used; As a pocket computer. All of the advertising for these phones talks about fast download speeds, internet this, and streaming that. Then they don't let you use it. It's plucking sham!.

Unlimited my ass cheeks!
[Vibrant General] n2ishun:
1 single HD movie is over 5 gigs.

That is 1 movie of less than 2 hours duration.

I use 5 gigs a day....easily, every day, tethered.

I'm grandfatherd with real unlimited internet, no throttle, no cap.

It's what I pay for.

Problem ?
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
anyone getting rid of their home internet to rely on their cell phone's internet is an idiot.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Quite frankly true. A cell phone data connection can't even begin to compare to the speed/low ping and reliability of a true broadband home internet connection.

And by that I'm talking about something like a decent DSL/Cable connection or a Verizon FiOS connection.

There's just no comparison.

Only an idiot would do something like that, especially if they have multiple computer.

"Sorry hon can't update your WoW/EQ2 or Windows/Linux/Mac PC... I have to go to the mall and the phone is coming with me!"

Thanks, but no thanks...
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
pics or it didn't happen. grandfathered plans don't matter, tmobile still throttle users remotely. my plan has been grandfathered ever since I bought my G1 since it came out .
[Vibrant General] nctrnl:
What type of speeds do you get when this happens?
[Vibrant General] bdwlf2:
91kps

I have the unlimited data. I started tethering to MY pc and got a text alert, to I called Tmobile. They said I needed a tethering plan. I said well my HD2 has tethering built in to the operating system, not an add on. They said I would be throttled then. Ok, fine. I pay for tethering on both my phones 14.99ea. Now I get capped, throttled, whatever and Tmobile is closed till Tuesday morning cuz of holiday.

Someone is going to get an earfull come Tuesday. WTF is the point in paying all this extra is they are going to limit my bandwith. I like Tmobile, but this is rediculous... Why did the rep tell me i NEEDED to purchase tethering option, when clearly it was available as part of the operating system, to stop my phone from being throttled, only to have exactly have that done, when I specifically called for an option to avoid this situation???

I would have paid for the bandwith.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Yeah whoever told you that tethering would get you off the cap was lying. Next time when you call in - DO NOT TELL THEM YOU TETHER. Tell them to take that off your plan as you never use it and you were confused or something.
[Vibrant General] digiholic:
I have the old MyTouch 3g plan still. Went over 5gb last month on purpose with my HD2 to test the softcap. My account showed the throttle message and I also got the text message notification. My speeds never changed. Tested them for three days, about 40 tests total. The HD2 gets HSDPA and I got my normal test range of 3 Mbs to 6 Mbs. Even got a seven point something once. Maybe they would only throttle 4g which I wouldn't see anyway. I've read many horror stories about very low caps though when others with newer plans went over.
[Vibrant General] digiholic:
Talked to a T-Mobile rep today I've befriended (helped him root/ROM his phone) and he confirmed my MyTouch 3g data account showed "uncapped" in their system. :)

He offered no guarantees it would stay that way, but said it might. He also stated that if he did my upgrade the system will not require him to change my data plan.

Should still allow me 4g. We shall see next week when I get my Sensation.

I had a very similar issue but I don't see how nvflash will help. My tablet refuses to load at all after a failed rom attempt. I don't get the load screen and I definitely can't do the power + volume button reset.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
[G Tablet General] xda-novice:
Note that nvFlash is power - volume, not power + volume that's used to get into recovery mode. while using nvflash, you need to have tablet to be connected to the pc in order to run nvflash. when power - volume is pressed, screen appears to be turned off on the tablet, until you run nvflash.bat on pc to push the stock rom. Hope that helps..
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
The black screen after the "birds logo" or even when you power on and don't get the logo is when the tablet is stuck in APX mode. It is hard to tell the difference between tablet off and tablet on in apx mode.

The best thing to do is plug in USB to the PC and see if the tablet shows up as a device (check device manager on Windows). If there is nothing popping up in Dev. Manager then try pressing the power button again to turn it on. Even though the screen still looks off, the device should come up and you can access it with nvflash.

As others have said, using nvflash to get back to stock, or even just flashing CWM recovery will sometimes work.

Hey all!

I've posted my full review of the Motorola Atrix 4G. Overall, I think it's a solid phone.

[Atrix 4G General] stunno:
Nice review!

I'm really looking forward to upgrading to this phone when it launches in the UK

I'm sure I read a review a while ago that implied that, when using the multimedia dock, it was possible to wirekesslt stream media from locally networked storage. but I cannot find it now

is there any way you could test this?
[Atrix 4G General] kennethpenn:
Unfortunately, I don't have a WiFi network to test it over (I'm connected via LAN) on video.

However, I have already tried out this feature, called DLNA, and it works seamlessly with Windows Media Player. You simply set up a shared playlist in Windows Media Player and then click on the DLNA application on your Atrix while connected to the same WiFi network as the server (computer).

It works well. My only gripe is that the Atrix cannot play back .MKV files.
[Atrix 4G General] kennethpenn:
@Stunno

I found a stray WiFi network to use. Obviously, my computer wasn't connected, so I can't set up a playlist to stream.

But I took a screenshot of the DLNA application. Overall, fairly easy to set up.
[Atrix 4G General] stunno:
Great stuff! Thanks for the reply, Kenneth! It's very much appreciated, any thoughts on whether it could access samba shares?

I have a TV upstairs in the bedroom, and rather than run an aerial wire to it I was going to buy something like a Revo and set up media streaming (I have a couple of TBs of DVD rips on a NAS) Then I saw the Atrix + multimedia dock and it all became so clear :)
[Atrix 4G General] kennethpenn:
Hmm. I'm not too familiar with Samba. Here's an official Motorola rundown of DLNA on the Atrix 4G:

From the list on http://www.dlna.org/ it looks like my NAS is supported by DLNA, so, hopefully, I should be good to go!!

Now we just need Motorol;a to get their fingers out and release it over here!

Many thanks again Kenneth!
