I just got data throttled after uploading my entire music library to my Amazon cloud drive (very dumb)! I can't go four weeks with 56k speeds. What are my options?
Thanks

My first piece of advice wohld be to follow the rules..dude really? wtf does this have to do with dev???
My second would be for you to call your carrier..jesus
Sent from my Vision using XDA Premium App
Erm... this would be a question. They come down on you pretty hard if you don't read/follow the forum rules. Anyway, there is a (discontinued) thread in development on how to beat data throttling. Unfortunately, it was discontinued because the carrier(s) are throttling on their side; so, pretty much nothing you can do but appeal to your carrier. My other advice would be to find a favorite free wifi spot for the next 4 weeks (McDonalds or coffee shops usually have them). Good luck.
wait......... so the 5Gb soft cap affects when youre UPLOADING aswell?!
I seriously did not know this
I didn't think about the cap being on the upload side either. I saw the thread on the workaround but after seeing that it was out of date I wasn't sure what my options were.
Thanks

Epic!! hahaha nice dude.
On uploads, huh? That's weird... have you gone on tmobile's site and checked the usage details? I guess it does make sense though... I mean upload speed is important and is mainly forgotten by consumers, carriers, and isp providers alike. The only thing I know that works is deleting the throttle files in /data/system/throttle folder and that's very temporary. I'm sorry not thing else really works anymore since it's pretty much controlled ota now.

If deleting the throttle files is temporary, couldn't we set the throttle file as read-only so it can't be written?

I think we did try that in the past but since some things have changed in the way tmobile throttles... its worth a try, for sure.
Any users who are currently throttled... try it out for us and let us know, please.
I'm throttled right now thanks to ATT turning off my internet even though I paid and left me with no internet for 2 days, but i don't where the throttle files are. Could someone point me in the right direction?

umm wut... I recently moved to a new apartment an don't have a isp so I'm doing tethering and currently at 1.3gb of my monthly usage. I get really good speeds here (1mb/s+) I would like to be able to have REAL unlimited data so I don't have to settle for a land line. I'm sure plenty of others are in the same boat, any new info or thoughts on how to accomplish this would be awesome.

The only thing you can do is delete it everytime you get slow speeds. That might be every reboot or after several hours. I figured that setting it to read only won't do anything but it was worth a try, I guess. Just use wifi as much as possible next month. That's the only way to avoid it if you stream a lot of music or video. Oh well...
Thanks bro

First there is a step by step thread so pull a search. Second, I'm capped atm since I downloaded all the Rom making tools.. and I have done the walkthrough with removing the cap files, and they don't work for me. Thirdly, use WiFi and lastly, as an idea try getting on one of their old servers, so check for an older APN setting. Hope that works.

We know... it's my old thread But yeah, it doesn't work anymore, nor the alternate apn, or any other hacks. The only thing to do is delete the throttle file after ever reboot (or as needed), watch your data usage with the tmobile app or via their website, and use wifi as much as possible.

After completing full root and nand unlock, my Evo no longer calls itself an Evo... If I go to menu > settings > about phone > phone identity, it is called PC36100. This is also true when going through the initial setup wizard(adding gmail accts, etc) it refers to itself as a PC36100. I realize this doesn't really affect the usage of the phone, but I find it very annoying... Is there a way to correct/prevent this? Or is it an unavoidable side effect of rooting with the current methods?
This is normal, and is the same for stock.

Does it even display as an Evo in a stock rom? As far as I'm concerned, it's a PC36100. I'd rather see the model name than the marketed name.

No he wasn't angry at you - it was me! No worries mate. I think he thought I was attacking his intelligence
Anyway - this is a really cool app. I'll try running some diagnostics and see why us G2 users are running into this 12007 error. I more than likely won't be able to do anything about it, but maybe having that info will make it easier for someone with greater programming intelligence than myself to remedy the issue.

yeah I know he was snapping at you, I just thought it was funny that he "corrected" me in the first place when I hadn't even misspoken. I don't typically care, but e-know-it-alls especially get on my nerves when it's been a rough morning, hehe.
it's not going to work still... I knew there had been issues with DRM (you can almost assuredly thank the MPAA for that one), but I thought maybe someone found a work-around. just keep crossing your fingers, and if you're a paying Netflix customer, SEND ANGRY COMPLAINTS! certainly looks pretty, though!

I don't get the 12007 error. I get 1005. Unable to locate server or something. I am a subscriber and was able to log in and see all my stuff but not watch. It is working fine for setting up my queue and what not. I will continue to use it in that capacity. Will look forward to this getting cracked.
Manage DVD queue?
Just like everyone else, I can't stream instant movies. But I already knew that before loading this apk.
What I really want is to manage my DVD queue and Instant queue. The problem is it looks like this apk can only manage my Instant queue. I don't see my DVD queue. Is it just me?

Have you tried queue manager?
nice interface, requires adobe air to be installed but it's the best free netflix instant/disc queue manager I have found.
I'm fairly certain the reason it doesn't work is because of a hardware lock. Netflix has come to an agreement, that because android is so open, there'd be no way to stop piracy, without a hardware prevention method. It will be usable starting with the "next-gen" qualcomm and others processors.
Not saying it can't be bypassed, but I'd bet its the hardware issue.

I think its funny netflix cares so much. I mean at this day in age, everythin streamed can be recorded no matter what. The file is hittin said comp, phone, tv, device. So all ya gotta do is find out where the file is or how to send the feed to somethin else that can copy it.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good app for unlocking the tablet while connected to your home's WiFi? To be clear I would still like a lockscreen, but be to have it that when I leave home it goes back to being pin protected. I tried tasker but it can only disable the lockscreen completely, and while I would settle for that, I was wondering if anyone here knew of a solution! Thanks
Easy to do with Tasker. Best money you will spend if you dive into it. You can make your devices do anything you want.

I couldn't figure out how to make it only unlock but leave my lockscreen there (like it doesn't go straight to home screen when I press unlock button) do you know if that's possible ? I looked around rather quickly because if it didn't have it I wanted to be within refund period :S
Check out this link http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57478334-285/the-most-practical-creative-ways-to-use-nfc-with-your-android-device/ . Came across it on FB and just watching the vid showed some of the possibilities for the NFC chip and I think it will do what your looking for.
Seems interesting.. I think the main problem is that disabling security and and leaving lockscreen is not an option sadly so like, it's all or nothing :/ I could live with that I suppose haha but kinda sucks
Have you seen this app? It does exactly as you want and works great, I've had it, and its great

it doesn't support patterns, the only lock I use. PINs and passwords are too slow to enter every time.
Try "Settings Profile" on the app store. Similar to tablet but much easier to use. I use it to do exactly what you describe.

So my niece is using to much data data and although I can easily just shut it off I'd rather get to the root of the problem. Are there any apps that allow me to see what they download that take a running tally of what access data and also maybe how much ?
She says it's just doing reading homework for school and APUSH notes... that doesn't use 3 gig in 2 weeks.
Any idea of something anyone has heard of or tried ? It's an Atrix HD and not rooted and I'd rather not root since I have no desire to mess with Motorola stuff . I know I'm in the GS3 area but this is where I hang out haha.
Thank you !

Does anyone know if there is a torrent client that works with this feature? I've tried searching for one with no luck... maybe there is one that emulates this feature
When it kicks in, there will be a notification on screen that tells you its working.
Then during the transfer there will be a notification in the drop down menu..
It seems like it only works during certain types of transfers.. like web downloads and such. It doesnt kick in during an ookla speed test.

I have dropbox sync on and I upload a lot of videos to youtube, for those situations it's great. But ya, torrent would be nice. It's simply a matter of convincing the phone that whatever is being downloaded is larger than 30mb.
