I thought maybe I would make a thread for if you have gotten throttled and what Location. Just hit my highest this month. Right now 9.5Gb In the Shelby, NC Market and STILL no throlting or message saying im within the 5%
Nothing of the sort here in the south florida area yet. but I will note the highest data rates I'e seen were 7.2mbps down and 1.5mbps up. and the worst I've got was .3 down and .1 up.
10GB+ since June. At about 8GB now...cycle ends tomorrow. Got 5% email and text this morning. Lovely.

I just got a free msg from T-Mobile saying " due to the amount of data used your data speed will now be slowed" wtf!?!? Why!? I have an unlimited data plan! I'm guessing its from watching Netflix.. is there anything I can do besides complain? Service.jar??

Before anyone flames you let me clear this up. It's *Unlimited, and not Unlimited. After 5GB they throttle you down below 2G speeds until the end of the current billing cycle. There isn't much you can do about it. Next month try to take it easy with the streaming.
Oh I see. Thanks for that!! I Watch Netflix on my phone cause the home internet got cut! Lol!

Yikes, been there before. Hang in there dude.
Ahh, you didn't know that they cap you at 5GB. It sucks, but you agreed to it. Been there with the home web cut off, and I did the same thing rofl. Oh well, have fun with dial-up. xD
Lol well at least the msg the sent me was free

Imagine if it wasn't and you had no texting plan.
Throttled and being charged an extra .25 for the text. That would be just terrible and lulzy on T-Mobile's part.
Dood complain to T-mobile.
People that have been hitting their cap has usually been for tethering and thats a BIG no no you cant complain if you get throttled if you tether because thats your fault. Under normal use you should never hit your cap. But with a heavy dose of Pandora, web browsing, pod cast downloads, mp3 downloads, downloading thru the stock media hub, using 3G for apps like geocaching, and now the ability to stream movies with apps like netflix. All of that combined I believe people will start getting closer to their cap or even start to go over. I believe this is a game changer and service providers are gonna have to provide more bandwidth. We just have to complain when we hit the cap under normal use. And thats the kicker. You should not have werking netflix on your specific device as its not "officially" werking for the Vibrant (yet) so its still not normal use for us. Just don't tell them that i guess, lol. Tell them you have some other phone. Good luck!
i was wondering because when i got it the lady over the phone told me my data would slow down, but how much would it slow down?
Expect a really high bill, for going over the limit

They don't slow u down on that plan they charge u I think its 10 cent a mb till u hit 30 dollars If I'm not mistaken
oh because i called and they told me they won't charge me if i go over, they would just slow down my data.. mmh this is confusing!
First off. Who is your provider?
If its Tmobile then they slow you down to basically EDGE speeds. If you do a speed test before the throttle you probably will get around 3down and 2up, after the throttle its around 1down and your upload speed is a joke.
If its any other provider it depends on their plan.
Kawika is right I'm on that plan now. Does anyone know of a way to stop the throttle? I've been looking all over they have found a way on some phones but I haven't seen in on the vibrant yet

How do you know? I'm on the same plan and I've never gone over 110mb. Some people have wifi at work and home you know...
I'm on the same plan. You get 200MB then they throttle you to what I can only assume is edge speeds. I can't say for sure since I've never noticed a difference after exceeding 200MB. Probably because only edge is available in my area anyway, so why pay more for something I can't get. There's no overage charges, though.

Haha! When I'm at work I can only dream of 50-60K. Matter of fact, in most of the places around here 60K is doing pretty good. I really hate edge.
I didn't want to put this in the Dev section even though it might become a dev thread. Basically I have been conducting several tests throughout the past few weeks I have has my phone here is what I have found. (Units for speed tests are from speakeast.net/speedtest so whatever the units there are is what I am referring too)
my average down speed is around 5 down. Peaking at around 8-8.5
It is common for me to get more in the realm of 3-4
I have an infuse as well and the average speed on it is around 10 peaking at 14.3
I have tested and tested over and over swapping sim and running test withing the same few minute time span and I kept swapping to try and rule out network load errors. I have also tried at almost every hour of the day. when I wake up when I go to bed, late night etc. Also in the same location. I have done everything I can to try and rule out something other than the phone itself. I even tried a different GSII and I got the same results. As for ROM I tried it with everything. UnNamed, Cognition, serendipity. I am beginning to think either AT&T capped the modem like they did on the captivate. Or there is a problem with the phone itself. I would love to hear everyone else's results. (State if you are in a HSPA+ area or not) and if there are any devs looking into this and I am willing to help with testing. I am no dev unfortunately.
If anyone has suggestions or wants any more information let me know.
I'm in an HSPA+ area, according to att. I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The best I have seen is 3 down. That was on my SGS II. Best I saw on the captivate in the same area was just over 2.

Okay well the title basically explains it, my data usage statistics are not updating. It's currently August 18th and my usage cycle ends on the 11th of each month. Running neomax and currently s-on. Thanks to anyone who can help.
I've found that the data usage app is absolutely worthless. Every month I compare what Android says my data usage is compared to what verizon says it is and they are no where near the same. Verizon says my usage is 850-1,000 MB while Android usage app shows only around 300-350 MB. So, I just ignore what the data usage app says.

Like right now, VZW says I have used 2.23GB of data (day 20) and my phone says I have used 0.93GB. D:

True, but to have such a disparity between the two reports is odd.
They have to say that to cover themselves just in case, but I guarantee they intended for it to be accurate. I'm sure they will make it more accurate in future updates.

Maybe if you have both WiFi and LTE on it doesn't count your data correctly? I'd test, but I'm already watching my data closely for other reasons.

If you flash multiple roms on your phone daily you're a crack flasher.

Its odd to see so many people saying the bandwidth meter is inaccurate.. Mine has always been pretty much right on the money every month!
I do notice that there are some apps that don't get reported individually - for instance, WiFi Tether is never listed as an app that has consumed bandwidth in the list below the graph. But the total amount of bandwidth consumed always seems to be right. In other words, even though WiFi Tether is not listed with exactly how much bandwidth it used, that bandwidth is still being reported by the graph, and the cumulative total always seems to be in line with what Verizon reports I have used..
Guys the problem isn't that the statistics aren't accurate with what VZW says, its that its August 20th and the usage cycle has not updated since august 11th!

OH!!! Ok my bad..
I have no clue. Everytime I have weird **** like that start to happen, it usually means its time for a full wipe and start over.
I've started to notice that Android is a little like Windows used to be.... After awhile it just starts to bog down and weird **** starts to happen that doesn't make sense. Only solution I've found in these cases is to do a full wipe and start over.

Thanks man probably gonna do that soon and find a new rom to use for my daily. Any suggestions?
I was wondering what people were getting as far as mbps with Verizon in their area. Like what is the highest you have got. I was using my wifi and did a text this one day and got like 10. Something and I wanted to try my data on Verizon. I was very shocked to see the speed on got seeing as how I wasn't at one time get any more then maybe 10mbps. Well I was so shocked on what I got that I took a picture to show people and wanted to see if anyone got around this or more or close to it.

I usually get about 24Mbps down and 15 up. There are some small spots here in Detroit that I can get up to 65 Mbps down.
Here's my most recent. Which is actually higher than usual. I'm in Portland Maine
