Default Data throttling on YOUR D3?

Please thank L2_n19h7m4r3. He did the work.

***Updated hack proceedure****

I am sure this throttle folder is like the "relay contacts" acted on by an account setting of some kind.

The hack works on my Dx2. It is like I am on wifi. My speeds have doubled at least, 4x at most.

I have UL data BTW.

Any one have this folder on their D3? Just fishing.

Yes, do speed test, then the hack. The files should have a few bytes. Follow the post exactly.
Root Explorer or File Expert (free)work well.

I did it and report a 3x increase in both download and upload speeds. even though they're both still a paltry 600kbs/sec haha. But at those speeds anything is appreciated ^_^ thanks for the post

DONATE TO ME
Was very skeptical about this at first, because we had things like this on the DInc that didn't do anything.

But I can confirm this actually does something.

Before this, my down was 0.25-0.40mbps and up was 0.40-0.50mbps.
After, my down is 1.30-1.50mbps and up is 0.80-1.10mbps.

Tested before 5 times with speedtest.net app, tested after 5 times with speedtest.net app.

So, I ran this mod, even though I was gettting 2.2mb down and 0.7 up, and now, im down to 0.6 down and 0.5 up. Also, my phones temp has dramatically increased. From a normal running temp of 29 degrees to 38 degrees.

Well, my speed is back up to what it was, not sure what's up with my data speed. But my temp is still way high.

I'm noticing an increased temperature, as well. I will keep an eye on it...

Temp is down to 32 degrees, which is in my normal operating range, but still on the warm side. It peaked at 41 degrees for a bit while completely idle.
