So, for the past week or two weeks my G2's Internet/data speed has gon' tremondously slow.
I'm talking about,I feel like I got a metro phone unless I have wi-fi.
My G2 has always bin running excellent ,until now its bin acting like its on edge.
I've switched my Radio,ROM and Kernels and still the problem seems to exist.
I've tried so manytimes and my market downloads take up to 30 minutes to download and my youtube loads so slow....I don't watch it anymore unless I'm at home on wi-fi.
Has any one bin experiancing this? Anybody can tell me how to fix this problem? Much appriciated.
Oh and, the 4G/H icon still shows..
Thanks.

Did you get a text message from T-mobile saying your data has been throttled?

Yeah, sounds like you might be getting throttled.

There isn't really that much you can do. I know there is a thread somewhere in development that will show you how stop being throttled but not sure if it would work if they already started doing it. Luckily for me I get that message every month but my speeds stay exactly the same.

Ahh, I know what thread you're talking about.
I follow those instructions and it also stopped happening for me for a good while even with the text messages thrown at me, but now it started doin' it..
I guess i'll try that again.
thanks, that helped alot my friend.
Sounds like tmobile is throttling the speeds. I have used way over 5GB and they are saying they are throttling me, but I'm still getting fast speeds.

The fact that your on wifi is exactly why you don't even come close to using that much data. I also got a text from them and I'm still getting fast speeds. I average about 5mbps. I've also hit 15+mbps three times. I've tried posting pics but have been unsuccessful. I'm using shootme but every time I try to upload I get a "wrong extension" message. Not sure why it's happening now,but I was able to upload fine before.

What gets me is how you clearly have an unlimited plan, but will be throttled. I understand you still technically have internet after being throttled, but that is damn ridiculous.

Mine does the same thing too! It's like the internet times out. I usually put it in airplane mode then turn it back off to restart the internet and that usually fixes it. But it's like something turns it off it's weird.. I thought I was the only one with this problem. Even does it when phone is completely stock. I'll have a full signal and 4g displays but the arrows don't light up at all.
I get the same thing. It started when I started using the new sim

Its a problem with tmobiles network. When you initalize a data connection, it decides to randomly drop it. AT&T has done it before on HSPA+, but a simple refresh usually kicks it back into shape.

I've been throttled a lot and really dodn't feel like I do all of that much. Here's the scoop.
The start date for my plan is the 25th of each month. I'm on the 5GB unlimited plan. I use my Nexus One to tether and have been for several months. You can get away with it on native android.
Today i decided to check my data usage. In 4 days in which I have done some surfing, but mostly on wifi, (I had not been tethering at all during this period) I've use 856MB of data! I haven't downloaded more than a handful of apps and most of what I do is go to message boards.
So today I went online to check it out. Last night I used84mb at 3:21AM while asleep and my phone was on wifi!
Something fishy is going on!
What think you all? Have I been hacked?
Are you leaving a wifi hotspot app on?
What email are you using? Gmail or something else? When my wife was using Yahoo it was eating the data like crazy.
Download traffic monitor from the market an see what is using data and how much.

Yeah. There's definitely something going on. Now my usage has dropped to almost nothing. T-Mobile may be playing tricks on me, trying to get me to upgrade my data or something.
When I update i generally do it on wifi, and I have very few games, all of which are of the small variety...you know, angrybirds and Pew Pew. I do have Sim City, but again I try to update on wifi and have NOTHING set to automatic update.

Link back up, my server went down.
So I loaded this on my phone. Works wonderfuly. Much better then 08.08 was about the same as 07.07. One thing I noticed, and I bet its placebo but, my screen is responding better. No more lag. Plus the 4 errors I normally get on boot from logcat are gone! I'm kinda overly excited but I can't believe they are gone. I have been bug hunting them for weeks now. Even cm was stumped.

Works fine in Milwaukee. Coming from 7.07, signal is about the same, -74to -85. Will road test it tomorrow and see. Noticed GPS locked in 5 seconds to 3 meters, though I don't know if the radio has anything to do with that.
Has anyone around here seen any signs of LTE coming on? I live in Haltom City rite off of 820 and Beach st and I had it a few days ago on my EVO LTE I'm assuming they were testing and I've since switched to the GS3 for obvious reasons.. anyway I'm seeing glimpses of 4G all over the place today here's some speed test results.

I'm starting to think that maybe Sprint's LTE isn't going to be as fast as other networks, that way they can keep unlimited data. I don't know if that sounds stupid or not, just a thought. But I'll be ok with 8MB or up, I don't even get 1MB right now on 3G.

Not sure if its against XDA rules. A moderator will lock this thread if it is. I don't believe there is a way, because throttling is done on a per account basis.

I'm almost 100% sure their servers are programmed to throtttle data on any Boost acct. that reaches 2.5gbs, and to me, they kinda should. Why should I have to pay full Sprint price, where as Boost customers pay about half? Folks in that thread pretty much said that fix was useless.

Yeah I thought boosts or sprints throttle was 256kbps but now I've realized its 30kbps on at&t it was 60kbps. Think the only other cheap option is metro PCs. 60$ gets you unlimited but who knows if its really unlimited.
