Data Throttle Removal?

[Honestly77]

I came from the droid incredible and with an edit to the services.jar file you could remove the throttling of your data once you reached your 5gb. Now that we have a temp root situation could we apply the same principle to this phone? I'm sure T-Mobile doesn't throttle each connection individually. It has to be software related.

This sounds interesting. I don't generally pass the 5gb, but not having to worry would be great.

Do you have the part that was modded before? Maybe somebody can get an idea from that.

Does Verizon really throttle on the phone side? Seems quite unreliable and insane to me.

I, of course, can't say for sure but I think it is pretty likely that T-Mobile US throttles data connections serverside, that is the only way for the carrier to achieve reliable slowdown of cell data.

On an unrelated note, just to make you guys envious: I used up 7 GB of cell data last month

Nope. Its software based. It'd take so much work to track me invidually while I constantly changed towers etc that all it does is change a little setting from unlimited to throttled once your phone reaches its own peak. They have a throttle remover to the G2X and G2 and the Vibrant so I know it can be done. It can be done by simply using root explorer to copy the modified services.jar over your existing upon reboot and reroot. The Services.jar is phone specific so I can't just copy any old one someone would need to mod the sensations.

wtf how? I am barely at 1.5 GB with heavy usage with 10 days to go

the throttle removal for g2x has been patched, if it ever worked. ( I never tried)

Over on the mytouch 4g forums they have a service.jar mod. I can confirm it worked until I rebooted, then once my sim connected to the network again I was throttled... why idk others didn't I did, so it either works or don't work. But I do know over there they said to do it in recovery and mount system and adb push the modified service.jar into /system/framework/. And since we don't have a recovery I think its not possible yet. But I could be wrong.

Not to revive an old thread but I hit my 5gb cap and since we DO have root and custom recoveries and full access to the phone is there anyone working on this or does anyone know a workaround?

From what I know and working for a cell phone company...(at&t).for example in our company we also throttle the speed once 5GB mark hits....the billing system adds special SOC (service order code) and applies it to your account through the billing system... which is where it shows all your services and features .....(rate plans.....features...(data...messaging...ringback tones../etc...)...so my theory here would be that the throttle is not software based on your phone because I'm pretty sure that if anyone in here thinks they can actually remove a throttle code off the billing system through phones internal software would be a ridiculous thought....is anyone in here saying that they can remove a messaging..or data feature through software and manipulate the billing system of a cell company...from a cell phone registry???? I would love to see a demo of that if its possible for at&t? Since i guess tmobile seems to work a little diffdrent? Someone please enlighten me..???

Throttling is handled on their end. No way to modify it.

I was just speaking in terms of what I've read in this thread.. I'm not sure how it works but it was worth a shot asking.

Not of 4g and if it was, it won't do it every month. Nobody has a grandfathered truly unlimited 4g. I used 24GB one month, guess what, that was one time.
