Thanks man. I just wiped data and started again from scratch choosing S3 and it worked straight away. I did try S3 previously though to no avail...there hasn't seemed to be any rhyme or reason to what works and what doesn't. Hopefully this will stay stable. But even if it doesn't at least it usually will eventually with some fiddling, which is better than nothing I guess.
My 3g speed is around 1-1.5mps here. I've played Xbox 360 on live (call of duty mw3) with minimal lag.. was still very playable. I know 3g is hit or miss for alot of people though

Still flaky, have to stop and start it a couple times just like before...works about the same on the SIII option as it did on the Nexus CDMA/LTE option. Suck.
I find it starts to act weird as soon as you try to enable access control or security. I normally use it just with WPA2 turned on, and it's flaky. Not going to use it unprotected though, don't want to get an STD

Has anyone else had the same issues i've had with this hack? ANY of the verizon prl's I apply I never get better than 1x data speed (around .10mbps). I've tried all of the tricks (turn off data roaming, rebooting..etc..)
Is there something else wrong I could be doing? Verizon gets awesome 3g coverage in my area, I've had someone next to me with a verizon phone test their 3g speed and they get around 1.5mbps down, I try on my sprint phone with the same prl and I can't crack .10mbps.

Thanks doc!
Ok so I was being throttled because I went over my data cap. Very easy to do when streaming Netflix when on the go and streaming Pandora Radio when at work. My data connection was slowed down so much that most everything would time out. So then I found another post saying that changing you APN settings would stop you from being throttled. As always I said yea sure but guess what it work as you will see in my screen shots! Sounds crazy but it worked for me!
UPDATED!
So, to get this Trick to work just look at the screenshots posted below!
should tell you everything you need to know. all the correct settings are shown in the screenshots! no reason to write a book on how to do it! Hope this updated trick helps you guys out! So, I don't get a 100 PMs asking me how to do the Trick. since everything is posted right here! So, Enjoy!
FAIR WARNING trick will only work BEFORE your throttled. So test it out before your Throttled or it won't work. Trick might not work for everyone but works for me and many others! GOOD LUCK!!

These screenshots showing that its working!
Update!!
Ok so for people that are having issues getting this to work try this!
Must be rooted and have Root Explorer installed.
Step 1
Using Root Explorer go to data then system folder and scroll down and look for the folder called throttle
Step 2
Click and open the throttle folder. Depending if your throttled or not there will be 1 or 2 folders. Click and erase these folders!
Step 3
Now back out of the folder and now click and hold on the throttle folder a menu will pop up with a few options
Click on the Permissions option!
Step 4
Ok now change the permissions like how it is in this screenshot!
Only read and execute should be checked!
Step 5
Now once the permissions have be changed back out of Root Explorer and reboot your device. Now once your device reboots try it and see if your being throttled or not

changing this woulndt have any effect on billing right? what does this do exactly?
All this does is change what portal you connect to tmobiles data network through. This is a very old APN back from the crackberry days and must not be integrated with the system for data throttle.
Also wifi tethering works great too! And im not paying the extra $15 a month ether! Lord knows my bill is already enough at $175 a month!

3G Speeds
Sprint data speeds do vary and sometimes it is comparable to the effects of satellite Internet via Direct TV in the heart of the winter. Although I will say that when it works, it really works. These threads are no different than those on the Sprint Community forums.
I will say that if the network upgrades do improve service even to the point where are 3G service is consistent all the time even when we expect 4G speeds then it is worth the wait.
My speeds are attached.

Funny stuff. These are the speeds I get with t-mobile on HSPA+ in and around Chicago. Oh well, it's better than the 56k speeds I was getting on Sprint earlier this year. Glad to see their working on things.
Hell, this wasn't even in Chicago though but out in Joliet/Shorewood.
My HSPA+ is now officially faster than both at&t and Sprint lte in Chicago. That is based off of my brothers lte on his one x. He was barely getting 5mbps on at&t lte.

Yeah. If I start using more than 5gb I might switch to the unlimited but I doubt I will. I usually use like 3 on average. I used to only use around 1 and a half but I moved all my music to the cloud and stream now. That about doubled my data usage.

You should of went to radioshack then used the gs3 hspa model for a month until the lte one arrived. There's gonna be a lot of pissed off customers, I would have been one of them if I didn't leave T-Mobile for sprint a few months ago lte is worth the wait .I thought hspa was fast buy it don't compare.

Since you are on MAC, you might want to check out this thread: Rooting JB OTA from OS X (no flash counter).
I'm a PC guy so I am not sure it is possible or not but you might be able to boot Linux from a liveCD and use ADB to root it that way. That is if you know how to use ADB/SDK. MintLinux and PuppyLinux are both pretty good versions to do that with.
Good luck and welcome to the forums.

+ 100..... By the time T-mobile's LTE is widespread, maybe you'll be on S5, S6, or S7 if you still like SGS's. Just my 2 cents.

I recommend installing Swipepad, fantastic app. It's basically a quick launcher for any app off any screen you're in.
If you wanna switch keyboards then Def go with SwiftKey Flow beta. The beta isn't on the play store tho. You have to download it off the SwiftKey website. Non root required btw. Just hit download then open the file. Nova Launcher is my favorite launcher. Battery Stats Plus and Pocket are nice apps also. Must have Flipboard as well.

Since you are on MAC, you might want to check out this thread: Rooting JB OTA from OS X (no flash counter).
I'm a PC guy so I am not sure it is possible or not but you might be able to boot Linux from a liveCD and use ADB to root it that way. That is if you know how to use ADB/SDK. MintLinux and PuppyLinux are both pretty good versions to do that with.
Good luck and welcome to the forums.

Unless I am reading this wrong...
Our current phones will not support LTE and would need to upgrade to the ones coming out here in the next couple months.
I see no reason to waste monies like that as HSPA+ is fine and won't be a hog on the battery.
