Internet's been down since Monday, started tethering Tuesday night... - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a Bell HTC DZ that's been rooted/unlocked and is running on the Rogers network with GV 1.5. I have 1GB data on my plan. Obviously rooting gets around tethering without having to pay for the actual feature, but can it somehow get around the data usage from USB tethering as well?
Here's why I ask...
All we've been doing is gaming SC2 which uses next to no traffic, and I've been checking to see how much I've been using in fear of going over or something. It seems as though my data has been untouched by the tethering... I downloaded a few songs just to see if it would change anything, and no usage. I then installed a few apps from the market to use some data just to check if the MyAccount app was broken; the data used from the apps showed up.
I've done some googling and could only find information about what I already knew with the getting around paying for the actual fee to have it enabled.

I'd be careful dude..in my contract with bell it says I have to pay $15 per mb when tethering I hope its not true!

Damn, that price is insane.

Definitely being safe about it, I know I haven't gone over at least.
If I called the carrier, would they be able to tell me how much i've used? Obviously I'm not mentioning any of this stuff lol.

If it is anything like T-mobile you are capped at a high GB per month, then after that you are throttled. They don't know when I tether, but they see my data usage go up quickly. Being throttled to 512kb sucks!

Bell's website is slow to update. Wait a day or two and you'll probably see your usage show up.

Yes, I've gotten my unbilled usage from 611 before, but I think it runs on the same schedule as the website/self serve. Oh yeah, there's a bell app called self serve, if you didn't know. Less hassle than going to the website.

thinking about a dinc2.. coming from fadcinate

has anyone made the switch from a fassy? do you like it better?? been thinking about it..
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I like my Inc2 ten times better than my Fascinate. The GPS actually works in this device. I also get great battery life and there is no lag for me.
Here is a similar post from AC http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-incredible-2/107364-any-dinc2-users-coming-fascinate-2.html#post1146594
The Dinc2 is extremely well endowed compare to the Fascinate, it has got both length and girth, you will be very satisfied with it I'm sure.
Seriously, we exchanged both our fascinates for the Dinc2 two weeks ago and love the new phone, wondered why we didn't do it sooner.
I had a fascinate, and would not go back. Build quiality seems better, GPS works, battery lasts longer, and in general, it's a lot less work to maintain, even if you're flash happy. No odin here obviously, but once it's rooted and setup, it's a breeze.
If you want a good phone go with the Inc 2. The smart play would be getting a Charge so your grandfathered in on 4G and wont have to pay more later on.

I had this same convo with vz on Sunday except I have a problematic droid 2 global. The after going back and forth and "supervisor approval" they agreed to send me a dinc2 in place of my droid 2 global free. The only catch was I had to meet them half way and buy a battery door and battery for it. Money well spent if you ask me. They were cheap on amazon. It hasn't arrived yet but I've heard nothing but good stuff about the dinc2. Can't be worst then my d2g.

You may be grandfathered into unlimited data for 3G but that doesnt mean 4G. When they start charging the extra for it youll still be on unlimited but data will be 45 a month not 30. Thats what I mean.
well in that case ill lower my plan cause I really don't NEED unlimited. but I'm OK for now so I'm not worried. thanks for the heads up though!

Well from a common sense stand point lets look at other competitors. Sprint, 10 dollars a month extra for "Premium data". T-Mobile after a certain amount you lose your 4G speeds and drop down to almost 2G speeds. And not to mention my cousin is the head engineer for western Arizona and that came straight from him. 4G is expensive to offer and maintain.
Hers what I found about upgrading to 4g. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/2...g-to-4g-after-july-7-can-keep-unlimited-data/i couldn't find anything about raising 4g prices.

I actually asked tier 2 tech when I was on the phone. he said they aren't able to talk about it with customers because nothing has Bern discussed yet. but that as long as you're grandfathered into unlimited data he doesn't think they will charge us more for 4g. so technically not proof, but I'd tale.his word over rumors. which is exactly what he said that is, rumors.

Detailed billing doesn't list the numbers you texted, just the calls (incoming/outgoing).
"Regular" really depends on your point of reference.
What you are describing as the regular bill is also called the summary bill.
From the Sprint blurb, even if you choose summary (paper bill), the detailed billing is still supposed to be available online.

Doesn't really bother me because I get ebills anyway. Dumb move by Sprint though, I can guarantee they get sued for this. Charging customers for paper copies of their bills is a big no-no. Sprint must be operating in the red.

Hahaha this and every one esle who is having a hay day with a $1.99 is hilarious in my book. Thats the equivalent of buying a cup of coffee once a month. Besides Sprint is by far the best deal around money wise. Also is the last of the big 4 that has unlimited data. It will be ok boys and girls
I've set up ebill about 4 times in the last 6 years -- somehow it keeps defaulting back to paper, which is annoying all by itself. Thanks for the heads up so I can avoid the charge and the paper!
That unlimited ship has sailed. 4GB is equivalent to unlimited for many people. Plus it works.

I promise you that in network usage wasn't the reason
Now, if they were torrenting illegal downloads or excessive roaming that would explain it.
Not really going to affect me. Been eBill for eons now (and on all bills i have mostly) so that's that.
Still a cheap move. They need new revenue streams I guess.

They should be offering 2 bucks OFF, or even 1 dollar OFF whoever goes to e-billing to give an incentive to move off paper, Geico does this and other companies do it too.

any one else using a huge amount of data?

Lately my data use has quadrupled and I use WiFi about 90% of the time. I've used 65 % of my 10gb. I have a week to go. I just switched us to mobile share last month. I am wondering if I have something wrong with my phone.

Well a little history is in order I suppose.
I've never come close to my 3GB cap. When I started in mobile share, I signed up for the 6 GB plan. Within two weeks I was at 65% of allotted use, so I switched to 10GB. Two weeks later I was again approaching the limit. I don't stream video, or Pandora, or anything like that. Something in my device is constantly connecting to 4G I'm seeing dumps of 50-60 MB at a time when I know for sure I'm home and on wifi.
I've seen what you guys are have been talking about. I don't download music or anything just average use like Pandora, Facebook, and of course xda.... And where I used to use around 4 ro 5 gigs a month my last bill showed I had used 17.2 gigs. Glad I'm grandfathered in on the unlimited plan. But seems strange how data has went up so drastically but I haven't changed the way I've used this phone and I've had it since the day it came out.

What rom are you running? I'm on rooted stock jelly bean. I've never seen data use like I am seeing

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
That's what I'm experiencing as well.
I just noticed something. When connected to Wi-Fi I still see the 4g lte indicator. It didn't turn off until I switched on airplane mode then enabled Wi-Fi after I disabled airplane mode, the mobile indicator stayed off. I wonder if mobile data isn't shutting off when I have Wi-Fi enabled.
Did you install any new apps when you started to notice this happening?

I can confirm this on stock rooted JB...I've gone through 3 GB of data and I haven't even been downloading/streaming. If you use Avast! AV there's a network monitor that tracks your data usage. Mine says "system apps" are responsible for the heavy usage, but doesn't specify which apps.
Given a rooted device, BetterBatteryStats can track data usage with (theoretically - without knowing exactly what the problem is, this is an educated guess) a better breakdown of services than just "system data". Might be worth a try.

Hey guys,
Sprint just cancelled me for tethering and I'm just gonna go with a Nexus 4G so I want to sell my phone and accessories. I'm pissed I JUST bought my micro sd and anker batteries! The good part is the phone is a week old from an insurance claim so it's immaculate. Anyway, here's what I'm selling:
E4GT rooted w/latest Jellybean leak

At first they said excessive roaming, but that was bs because I never leave home. So they investigated further and said it was due to "tethering without a tethering plan." No warning, nothing. I woke up and was shut off this morning. I love downloading full albums and movies. I suppose I could have challenged them for having "unlimited data" but screw it. I'll get a Nexus 4 off contract w/Tmo unlimited 70 bucks a month.

It was probably roaming while they are doing NV upgrades. If it was really for tethering you wouldn't have gotten out etf free. They would have either opted for you to add tethering or would have just added it to your next bill. What tethering app were u using?

Technically they can't tell you were tethering unless you were using the sprint hotspot. They can *claim* you were cuz of desktop protocols, but just tell em your browser on your phone is set to desktop user agent which uses the same protocols as your desktop browser. Most likely you were roaming due to the upgrades going on and whatever carrier you roamed on claimed you were tethering. At least you didn't have to pay the etf.

Android to android is even more incognito than android to windows/linux/mac, but the more advanced phone browsers and apps become the harder it is to tell the difference between mobile and desktop data packets. I would say in the next 5 years all internet capable devices will be using almost identical protocols to access the web which means all data would look the same to anyone sniffing packets. I'm grandfathered in on an unlimited tethering plan on my work line and I use upwards of 100GBs a month on it for work and I tether my personal line (same account) to my tablet and laptop and have been for 3 years and sprint never says anything. Between the 5 lines on our account we average 250GB a month.

Just a quick ?, OP have you looked at your usage on sprint.com to see your roaming usage?? Just wondering if Sprint is about to crack down on tethering or if it was roaming which we all know they crack down on. Thanks for any info....and I wouldnt sell for less than $300 BTW but depends how quick you need the cash, think about the fact no one can get an android able to run jb on sprint for under $450 from retail.

[Q] data useage problem

Hi all, so I'm coming here from my htc evo 3d which was s-off rooted romed all that. I never noticed until I switched to my desire but it seems that my 3d doesn't send data useage back to virgin mobile! I have not once in over 2 years of use ever been throttled down, as a matter of fact never even went close to 1gb of data! Now I turned on my desire and got throttld in about 4 days into my plan! I use the tether alot, on my 3d I used wifi tether trev mod, but can't seem to get it working on the desire? Does anyone have any ideas how this happened to my 3d and more importantly how do I get my desire to do this!!!?
confirmed no data usage
Figured I'd update this and say that I've confirmed my evo 3d doesn't report data back to Virgin!! When using wifi tether I downloaded 2 movies to my laptop about 3.5gb of data, and nothing shows up on my account. I'm in my third week of my plan and have used only 4mb of data! I use pandora for hours ata time, Netflix like crazy, update and add new apps no data use! My desire ran it up to 2309.8mb in 4 days, switched back to my 3d three weeks ago downloaded almost 4gb of movies torrents to test and I'm at 2313.8mb! Unlimited, free data, no throttling! I wish someone would help me out with this! I'll supply backups, logcats whatever is needed!!! Someone must be interested in this!

If there is a way to bypass the data throttling it's most likely illegal, and is not allowed on these forums.

Its not really bypassing the throttling, I think somehow its just not telling virgin what its doing? When I logg into my virgin account to check how much data has been used it doesn't show any. How do they know how much your using? Your phone must report it back to them? Somehow mine isn't, maybe somekind of setting or program in the phone that says " ok, I'm on your network using this" and mine is shut off or not working? Idk, but I'm desperate to find out! If it can't go on forum, p.m. me or email me.

Wait the Evo 3D doesn't have LTE, I'm pretty sure the throttling is only for LTE.
Nah, they do wi-max also. My girl gets throttled almost every month with her s2! Lol

So it's just your individual Evo 3d? Are you running a custom ROM of any sorts?
Yeah several, its rooted and s-off. I've run so many differnt ROMs I don't know if one of them did something that stuck? But I've also tried changing ROMs and it still does the same.

It's possible that a ROM did something. Or maybe your just a rare person who doesn't get throttled? Are you and your friend you mentioned with the s2 on the same plan/share an account?
Completly seperate prepaid accounts. The usaege screen on my phone shows that from 10/22-11/18 I've used 8.33MB of data, from 9/22-10/22 I used a whopping 99.94MB!! Thats not GB its MB, thats not even a quarter of a gb? And I know I've used alot more than that! I keep wifi off permanently, never use it.

I seem to remember seeing it mentioned in one rom (can't remember which one) it said it had htc logging turned off. Think that could have something to do with it?
