I am putting this one outside of the CM7 thread only because it seems to have been asked with no answer.
I have used beta #2 and #4 and in both instances i get a Data has exceeded limit warning and my speed gets throttled down to 300kb/s I am looking for a way to edit these settings but am yet to find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT FIX Found!
Dug through some files with root explorer
data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
(need to have a db editor on your device)
open secure
What i changed was throttle_threshold_bytes
and added 000 on the end of the number. increased the limit to 3gb upon reset which is fine by me. I am sure you can play with those settings a bit more i just chose not too.
I have also been having this issue. Did this make the notification go away?
yes just have to reboot after. with my exact changes it will come back if I use more than 3GB in a day (highly unlikely)
I have an unlimited data plan so I wasn't experiencing any loss of data speed but the notification was annoying!
I did this and it worked for me. Ill add this to the CM7 issue I started on the website as a temp fix
it seemed to effect me, but it couldn't have been placebo due to the area i work in. Oh didn't see your issue there or I would have posted there as well.

Its issue 126 I think.
For anyone else looking at this: I used root exprlorer
This changes the throttling but does not get rid of the notification.
Thanks for the tip anyway.
There has to be a way to disable.
Update:
A bit more digging around in database the OP mentioned led me to set throttle_polling_sec to 0. This seemed to disable the policy after a restart. It no longer shows in settings and I don't get the notification anymore.

Had the same issue with the official BETA of CM7. Don't know why it does that because no one report the issue... I did try to change the throttle_threshold_bytes with my contract data plan 1 gig (1073741824) and rebooted. I confirm it solve the issue
Many thanks!
Are there any free DB editors you could recommend?

Hi everyone.
I am using the SalsaSense ROM. I am unable to post in that thread because I am new here, so I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me.
In the stock SMS app there is the option to delete old messages once a limit has been reached. I installed the ROM, recovered my messages, and enabled the option in the stock app with the limit set at 200. But my old messages are not being deleted. With one contact I have 7k+ messages, and since enabling the option I have sent and received several messages with them. When I had Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.6 installed beforehand, following these steps was enough to provoke it to keep my inbox in check. But not now.
Is this a problem with the ROM, or the stock app, or am I just unlucky?
I'm hoping someone here may have come across this and can help me out.
Many thanks, BurnseyBoi
I think you've been unlucky. It sounds like a ROM problem since it's beta.
You could delete them using an app like SuperSMS Delete (I think it's that).
Yeah, guess I'll just have to wait for an update to it. I had a look round the market and found the app you were referring to. Worked a charm, thanks very much! Now my phone is a bit speedier.
Yeah i noticed this, unfortunately its a problem with the ROM. I've got a lot of issues to iron out so it takes me a while to solve each one, rest assured though it will be fixed

I love this ROM! I forgot how much I missed the little Sense features and looks. My friend just got himself a Sensation, which is where I got the idea to browse around for a Sense ROM. Many thanks!

I'm trying to follow the build.prop editing suggestion, but adb doesn't list my phone under connected devices. I've tried while the phone is on, and in recovery.
Is there another way of successfully editing it?
Yeah, you can use Root Explorer from the Market. ES File explorer may work too, look in the app's settings for Root options.
Navigate to the directory with the build.prop and long press and I think there's an edit option if you use Root Explorer. Then you can just edit as you would normally via the phone.
Thanks! I already had ES File Explorer, didn't realise it had root options though.
Made both changes that JieeHD suggested, then powered it off and back on. I've never seen my phone go from power button to lock screen that fast in the 2 years I've had it! I definitely notice a speed improvement from making those changes. Everything just feels sharper and more responsive.
Many thanks!

I've tried them and can confirm they do speed things up.
Wish there was some option to use a standard notification bar, I think it would help.

I agree. I tried following the instructions in this thread but I couldn't get it to work. Has anyone else using this ROM been able to successfully do this?
Hi, I'm new here, but I figure my question is as good as any other. I recently became proud owner of the Xperia Neo MT15, which is now rooted and thoroughly protected, but I noticed something about the GPS and Network Location that bothers me - each time I enable either one, it asks me to agree to anonymous data collection.. Well, I don't agree, and I see no reason why I should be denied the features, because of my belief. So my question is this - does anyone know which system apk controls this? I would really like to impose it some restrictions using Pdroid as to stop the data collection. Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Nope. Not the culprit, since I don't even have it. I do however notice a lot of calls for Network Location from com.sonyericsson.learningclient(which sounds logical) and devicemonitor(which sounds just suspicious). They start actively operating as soon as I enable GPS. I've disabled the access to most things for both and set GPS and Network Location data to be served as random. I don't think there are any other moles.
It's weird, because they both sound so harmless, when I look at their descriptions in the list you linked to. Maybe there's something else. I'll see if I can find anything.
Sony has a particular feeling to collect data .
Soon you will discover also that the sony Gps will not works without data at all, because is affected by a bug, and it drops every 5 minutes if you don't have data enabled.
For more informations, please, read my thread about gps on xperia phones

Holy... why did I ever buy a SE in the first place?! I love the brand, and I've loved every phone I've had/used (those include K750, K850, P1i). I'll try to see if I have the 5 min. bug.
EDIT: I'm not sure if i observed the behavior or not. I didn't go anywhere, but stayed on the window with the GPS and nav software on. The software never displayed a loss of connection. I did notice the GPS icon went to it's unfixed state twice for a split second, 5 minutes apart, but I guess I'm supposed to be on the move to notice the issue. All the while learningclient would call for GPS location and be fed random data. The wifi and data connections were both disabled. I'm going for a drive, I'll test and report back.

Hm, you don't have it? You deleted it? I just run a search trough my phone and found a lot of files with idd in their names. Some are even in etc/security and in system/lib there is even one in framework
there's even one folder data/idd who also have output folder. It stores some files in there but can't figure out what trigger loging.

I don't remember deleting IddAgent. The other two I track using PDroid. I just enable its notifications for everything and I watch what does what. learningagent seems very keen on getting GPS location, while it's on, and device monitor calls network location every once in a while, I see no good reason why.
If you are able to unlock your bootloader, and install a custom kernel like inteks, or nightelf ones (void guarantee), question about collecting data while you enable gps just dissapear. I dont know if there is a easier way.
If I wanted to throw away my warranty, I would have done it the day I bought it. I know a custom Rom would solve the issue, but I don't want to risk it with the warranty, not yet anyway.

This is a guide that explains the steps to defeat Crickets data throttling and, in my case, give you faster internet(1.5 mb as compared to 300 kb tops). Many people will tell you that the throttle is carrier side however this is false and it is easy to test and see that for yourself. Simply download an internet speed testing app and run it. Watch as soon as it starts to check speed and you will see the speed skyrocket then back down to throttled speed after a second.
Anyhow.....on to the guide..
Requirements:
Rooted HTC Evo 3D
ES File Browser(this guide is made for this file browser but it will be similar in other browsers as well)
Simple right? OK, here's how to go about removing your data throttle:
1) Open your choice of file browser
2) Browse to the following location: /data/system/throttle
3) Delete all files in the throttle folder
4) Browse to the following location: /data/system
5) Long hold the throttle folder
6) Click Properties
7) Click Change
8) Select all the options available except for write(6 of the 9 options will be selected)
9) Click OK then exit the file browser app
10) Open an internet browser of your choice
11) You should get to the Cricket page telling you you are attempting to do an action not allowed on your account and you will have no internet access.
12) Reboot and you should have no throttle.
This throttle bypass will last until you reboot your phone and in my experience it has worked 100 percent of the time.
Feel free to check it out and let me know your mileage..

I thought it worked at first. Before following your steps I was getting 646 kbps down and after your steps my first test was 924kbps but then second test dropped down to 540kbps. Maybe someone else has better luck, I'll keep playing with it though, thanks bud.
Is that "sdcard/data/throttle"? I can't find the folder anywhere.

You may have to enable the "up to root" option in es file browsers settings.

I'm not positive if it gives everyone an increase in speed. Its just my experience with it.. I've noticed when I get data drops that the throttle fix will be gone after turning data off then back on so I will have to redo the fix in order to get it working again.
Since in flashed my Sprint Evo 3D my download speed is 15KLBS.I followed all the flashing info.Im currently Running OTA ICS rooted.Im on the $70 plan and im no where near my data allowance for this month.Can u please help??

Rename customer.xml and you get bubble notifications back on lockscreen.
Enable call blocking (Not blocking mode), add this to feature.xml:
<!--Call Blocking -->
<CscFeature_Setting_EnableMenuBlockCallMsg>true</CscFeature_Setting_EnableMenuBlockCallMsg>

Cool, I appreciate the help. I found out after further research that you can go in to settings>application settings>all>help and then just disable that. That worked for me to get rid of the constant helpful tip.
Well I copy pasted the code into the features.xml file for the various Web browser additions, like perma-Desktop view mode and show user agent profile under advanced settings. But none of them worked. I looked through the web section to make sure there were no countering duplicates, and there wasn't.
I went ahead and rebooted into recovery, wiped cahce/dalvik, fixed permissions and booted back up and no go. Anyone get these settings working?

See, you shouldn't need to copy anything in, but simply change trues to false and so forth. If you pasted a line in, I'd be suspicious that you have the line in there already overriding the new one. Most of the CSC features are already in the file.

Yeah I checked through for duplicate lines and didn't see any of the 3 lines that I added before pasting them in.
Just to add to the mix, somehow adding 3 lines that affected the browser only, I found that my Samsung keyboard symbol overlay was missing. So I just deleted my custom features.xml and restored the backup and it's all back to normal again. Was also seeing wierdness with MMS with the modified xml as well.
Anyway I'll look again just to be sure, but trying to decide if I really care enough for it at this point.
Update: yeah for sure there isn't a single duplicate. I copied the XML to my desktop and searched through with keywords and there was nothing that matched. Then read through it line by line and saw a few entries that seem similar in purpose, but are worded differently. I am unsure how to modify these or which one I should modify at all to get the desired affect, so I am leaving it alone for now.
Ironically enough however I found a solution to an annoying "feature" that's been plaguing me for awhile now. Whenever I toggle to Camcorder or open up the camera app into Camcorder, it would ask me what video mode I want to shoot in. This was driving me nuts, and sure enough it's being caused by a CSC feature. Well I false'd it up and yay no more annoying popup. Problem is, just like with the web browser changes/additions to feature.xml, whenever I modify the file all of a sudden a bunch of other things break including MMS and my keyboard's symbol overlay. Wtf =/ It's so frustrating being right there and having the solution to one problem, and then opening up a can of worms in another.
I could understand if I somehow modified parts to the keyboard CSC, and that would be why it's breaking, but I'm not. I'm going in, finding ONE line, and changing true to false. That's it. Why is this breaking other parts of my CSC? Any ideas Adrynalyne?

I have a feeling it is the editor you are using.
Things like notepad add extra characters to files which can invalidate the entries and cause other errors. Try something like notepad ++.
hey folks. Samsung G3 d2tmo device running CM12.1 6/20/15 Nightly. i have been using CM for a while and i like it. i especially like the integrated blacklist. i am wondering if anyone has found the location of the data file, the list of numbers? i tend to try to keep up with Nightlies which means i also tend to wipe data and reflash from time to time. the 35 or so entries are a bit of a pain to re-enter. not critical, i love the work that has gone into CM and i love the way i dont HAVE to add google apps if i dont want to. also the dark material theme is great and life is good. i just wish i could find that file and back it up. while we are at it, the config data for all my email accounts would be great to back up also... hmmm...
anyway, any leads, let me know.

I appreciate the lead. I went looking for it and did indeed find a blacklist file. Unfortunately it was 137 bytes of some other encoding, so unverified as my list of numbers.
I suppose, if I believe that this is the numbers, I could back this file up and stick it in place if I have to reflash a ROM. I'll copy the file for now and see how that works.
Thanks for the help. Any further ideas about how to confirm its a list of phone numbers, what the encoding might be, I would be happy to hear them.
