Ok this is the run down I purchased a tmobile g2 full price. ( as a result of bad credit though ) and I went to go get a service plan which I chose simple mobile. If u don't know what simple mobile is just google it. But after programming the apn to pick up simple mobiles data network I began. Searching how to root. Found an excellent tutorial @ theunlockr by the way, but I rooted and booted and flash cm 6 then 7 u know the routine. Then I tehthered once which mind you never hit over 1 gig which is below the suposed 2 gig data cap. And in return I received a text from simple mobile which told me I was in violation of terms and conditions. I called in and they said that I was blah blah and that the first warning was that they would limit my data usuage aka throttle my data. So I'm like omfg really u can do that when u advertise unlimited everything for 60 bucks a month. In reality they can and I believe they did because my web, market, and all other applications that used data began to lagg majorly. So I'm googling and googling for a why and a fix but nothing. So I come up with this crazy idea.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Went over to theunlockr and watched the " http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/01/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/how to un root the g2 " did everything it said and went back to stock.
Once back at stock and booted the phone programmed the apn again to simple mobile and opened the browser the pages began to load very quickly. So to further test I. Opened the market and downloaded 3 apps in a matter of seconds. So thus I came to the conclusion that in order to obtain consistant boosted 3g aka 4g(H) you must keep your phone stock.
I do believe u can root it again because I have done so via visionary but just DO NOT FLASH ANY CUSTOM ROMS keep the stock g2 vision rom and you will have A PHONE AS TOURBO CHARGE FAST AS YOU ARE!
Hope this helps those confused by wtf just happen to my data speed.

Uh sorry to rain on your parade but this isn't a fix dude. There are a few guides on how to unroot here already

And what did they actually say in the blah blah part? Was it tethering that is against theyre tos or rooting? I was under the impression simple mobile didnt care about phones...? I ask because im thinking of switching to them if the att thing goes through. And if they survive after as well

T-Mobile's $15 tethering option??

Engadget had an article that states Tmobile will now charge for tethering starting sunday Nov. 14th. I am wondering if us who have been able to root the G2 get charged for using the tethering option? If so i can always use wireless tether but the built in android hotspot is much better in my opinion. If anyone knows the answer that'll be great as i dont want to get charged without knowing.
No. From what I've been able to gather, there's no way for T-Mobile (or anyone else) to tell the difference if you're tethering or just using standard(phone) mobile data.
Well something I just noticed today was a redirect to an upsell page. This is using the G2 with PDAnet, I have had no luck getting the native tethering to work. I will keep trying and see if I run into that same issue. I'll also post a pic of the page that it'll take you to.

here's the lovely site you'll get trying to get you to buy the subscription to tether. I have also noticed that G1 and MT3G1.2 and they're still able to tether just fine.
Well I just tethered without getting that message so I guess us rooters got around their trap!! Niiiice

tmo probably made and agreement to not remove pda net from the market if they made it to where tmo could check if the user is tethtering with pdanet
Actually, I am rooted and I was using PDANet, followed by Wifi Tether and I got the page both times.
this sounds like either they are filtering for user agent(easy to bypass), but then again i could be wrong. i used to use pdanet, and even paid for it(didn't like wifi tether on G1 because battery temp would get too high) and now if i can't use that app i'm going to be very upset. try changing your user agent to "Android" and see if you can tether
they will only notice if you pass the 3gb - 5gb limit, refrain from downloading while using tether.

[Q] TMobile says: consider rebooting

I just got a notification from my Tmobile (US) My Account app that I hadn't rebooted in a week and should consider rebooting if I was having any issues.
WTF?
I remember when I had my g1 I had some problem with 3g because my SIM card went bad. The vs rep suggested I reboot my phone at least one a week to "clear up" any issues I might be having.
This was back when I would reboot my phone almost daily to try new mods and stuff for my phone.
Rebooting seems the cure for all tech device issues. I was just surprised to get a message like this from TMO

It's just the My T-Mobile application acting like a nanny. Personally, I don't recommend using this app at all, but that's just my opinion.
It's the T-Mobile "My Account"/"My Device" application. Go into the Account app, go to system messages or whatever, and turn them off.
I've also uninstalled the My Account app since then, as the mobile interface for checking minutes/usage is really really good. Just added a bookmark shortcut to my homescreen instead:

check out their mobile website, its just as good as the app if not better. i stopped using the app a while back.
I don't have a data plan on the phone. The app is useful for changing my plan from pay as you go by the minute to something with data for when I need it.
I hadn't realized the app had alerts. They're off now.

Why would you ever want a superphone like the GNex w/o a data plan? Especially when prepaid plans are so cheap?

I almost always have wifi when near home. If I'm not near wifi and I need data, I turn on TMO's data for a day plan using the app.
I use prepaid data when traveling.

Check this out!

I had a weird thing happen with my signal today. It kept going out, and data just wouldn't work! Although the 3G icon was there nothing would download. Here is a pic of the connection status! Look at the mobile network type!

i had this happen to me for like two weeks on and off. After a while it would do this to me while the bars were blue! I tried toggling my data on and off, toggling airplane on and off, rebooting and even calling sprint to have them restart my data. This even followed me from rom to rom. The only way I got rid of it was to download the complete FH05 jellybean tar and odin back to stock jelly bean. I tried to odin to FD02 and except the ota but it followed me there too. Its wierd, and it started after I flashed a certain rom(wont name it cuz i cant be sure it had anything to do with it) and then the rom gave me some probs I wiped and restored my nandroid of cm10 I had before I flashed the mystery rom and thats when it started. And cm10 was working awesome for like three weeks before the mystery rom flash. I mean problems dont just pop up, theyre either there or theyre not.
Well I ended up calling Sprint today to find out what the problem was and they told me it was due to some tower being worked on! Maybe it has to do with the LTE?
I've had that happen to me a couple of times. Mainly its when I had it set to run on GSM/Edge/LTE/HSPA+ mode.
Its just due to the way your phone finds the best tower. It shouldn't hurt your phone, or affect your data in any way. Just switch your roaming profile to home only. It should fix it.
And to the Photoshop guy...
Are you that stupid? Seriously, use your mind. It doesn't look photoshopped. Even if it was, it would be a decent work.

Very odd, I've had the game on mine for about 3 weeks. and have never had an issue. I would un-install the game again and then go into the Android/data directory with your file manager and remove the com.ea.games.nfs13_na directory. Then re-install the game. It will have to re-download data. Hope this helps.
Strange. Plays fine here on Jb.. But if u find a free apk online it doesn't play.. Just as u described will happen.. Do as other had stated and seen if works.

Issue was a bad update...
There was an update that EA released which caused the game to malfunction. Apparently as of today the issue has been resolved(Check the attached screenshot).
Re-download over wifi now that it has been "fixed" and try again. If not, email the address that's listed in my screenshot.

Who is playing this game. I need some SP points in carrer mode. I have login to Orgin and I am looking for some friends: 1adamos

T-Mobile blocked my HotSpot capability today.

I'm not on an unlimited plan. It worked just a week ago but today I noticed that when I tried to enable Tethering and Mobile HotSpot it says:
Service upgrade required
Your current rate plan does not support sharing your phone's data connection with other devices using USB tehtering or Mobile HotSpot for internet access. Do you want to add the Smartphone Mobile HotSpot service to your rate plan now?
This is a stock Android 4.1.1. The only thing I did recently was request an unlock code for this phone. Was that what tripped the HotSpot block?
No they're just cracking down on it.

You have a tethering plan? Call them...
This is exactly why i flashed a custom cyanogenmod os because the stock os prevents you from tethering and if you get a custom rom which by default tethers without tmobile knowing, then tmobile will see your user agent on your laptop as a desktop user agent and block you from the laptop side so the laptop will see a captive portal. So the way to get around the captive portal is to just install a useragent plugin on teh chrome or firefox browser on your laptop/pc and set useragent as googlebot then your good to go, happy tethering.
I got all you can eat true 4g which is not at all limited unlike the other 4g plans that are limited, mine is true unlimited, i can use 16gigs or a 100 gigs and it will always be 4g so i'm glad I can tether.
Cracking down...

Stock with wicked room and toggle mod. My tether still works, but got the push messages...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
They'll cut you off pretty soon if you don't stop, or figure out some other way of tethering.
I got the same message, but what makes it different, I was not tethering. I was only watching video on You tube using the stock browser. Now whenever I go to You tube on my browser, I can't watch any video anymore, I have to use the you tube app. I prefer watching over the browser. So I will call them and see whats up with this deal.
