From a place where 4g doesn't exist. It was a nightmare. For all of those still suffering, my hat is off to you. I don't know how you manage.
4g just came to my town and it's awful. 2mbps, that's if it even connects, which it hardly ever does.

Is that everywhere or just at your house? I get 10-15mbps regularly. And up to 52mbps in a couple places.

I also went to such a place. It is the place of nightmares, place of the devil. A horrible place full of pain and suffering where all you could get was 3g......
It was terrible. I got .21 down. (shudders)
I get 4G at work, up to 25 down, but I only get 3G at my house, usually 1.3 - 1.5 down.
I live right on the edge of a 4G service area so mine is in and out. I usually just turn lte off because it does nothing but drain the battery

I've been to a terrible place like that twice now. Morgantown WV and the drive there. Once you get to mountainous area of Maryland all is lost. Then theres 1x. I swear I was losing my mind. I never wished I had Tmobiles wifi calling and texting more there. I haven't been back again. Thankfully my gf moved from there.

Ever since I bought this phone the data speeds are real slow. When will duel core kick in. I rather a single core EVO 4g. These phones are getting worse and worst as there released.

You can return the phone if you like, I find the phone very fast.
In before the flames!
First, dual core has nothing to do with 3G speeds. The speed of the phone is much faster than 3G so you need to look into speeding up your 3G service. Do a search: there are multiple threads on speeding up 3G.

Best explanation: You can have a desktop computer with quad core CPU overclocked at 6Ghz on a dial up connection, those 4 cores at 6 aren't going to make your dial up connection to the internet any faster.

Class 4 is standard, you won't see a boost from that.
If the apps load real slow either you have a lemon/bad phone, or you have uberhigh expectations. My apps load faster than I can blink.
If you have a task killer actively killing task that will slow down load time as well.

Note that ^^ that number is an average out of 10 tests. I know these tests arent very accurate, but theres a big difference between 760 and 56
The reason I am posting this here was because this app is buried very deep in an old thread, and located nowhere else. So the only way people would find it would be if they knew it was there.
I'll start off by saying that there is much speculation as to whether or not this app actually works (even by the developer). However, it poses no threat to your phone either way.
I decided to post it because I used it for the first time and it seems to have worked for me in avoiding being throttled.
It's a very simple process:
1. Install the app.
2. Immediately open the app and press "reset throttle"
3. Reboot
4. Hope you dont get throttled!
*i would recommend doing this at the BEGINNING of every pay cycle*
It's been said that this should be done BEFORE being throttled, so I do it at the beginning of every pay cycle as a preemptive strike. I've had it on my phone for about 4 months, but have never used 5gb, so I had no idea if it would work.
This month was the first time I've gone over the 5gb limit since downloading this app. I received the "you've been throttled" text message, but my speeds havnt slowed.
Anyways, thats about it. Remember, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK, BUT THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO HARM IN TRYING. I was skeptical, but I finally got results so I wanted to share with everyone.
UPDATE 09/13/11: So based on feedback from members in this thread, and the fact that I have been throttled the last two months in a row while ussing this app...i think its safe to say that this is not a method to avoid throttling. As you can see above from my screenshots, i had good reason to believe that it was, however I guess I mustve gotten lucky that month and dodged the throttle bullet.
I will leave this thread open, with the download link, just in case any developers ever feel like messing with it to see if they can get something going. Until then, happy data-ing, and down with throttling!

Post feedback if it helps or not.

Rarely do you get throttled right away.especially if you have been with tmo for a long time, they throttle you at 10 gbs. there is no way or if throttling unfortunately. I didn't get throttled until 10 gb.

Excellent find TS
Guys, i said it twice in the OP.....theres no guarantee it will work. if youre skeptical, hit the back button on your browser.
just remember, i didnt just dig this app out and post it before seeing if it worked.
it happened to work for me. if i find a solution to being throttled, youre damn right im gonna post it for everyone to try......because the whole throttling/"unlimited data" is horse****
will it always work for me? i dont know. will it work for everyone else? i dont know. should people who have throttle problems try a possible solution, especially if its harmless and could work? absolutely.
updated OP with screenshots, to prove that it worked for me
Thanks for the info. I'm going to try this out and will report if it works 4 me. Worth a shot if it can't hurt

Results
Okay.......you can look up "Idiot" in the dictionary and you'll find my picture.
TMO throttled me back when I hit 5.03gb. And I didn't even realize that was what happened. I tried everything to speed things up again but nothing worked. So then I just figured it was really busy on the internet. I then check my account and saw the red letters. Anyways......I downloaded the app and proceeded as instructed. The first thing I did was a speed test. Results = 72.3 Kbps. I do not care what anyone says.....IT DOES NOT WORK!
I'm just bored and interested in seeing what kind of speeds you guys get.
I'm in Albuquerque, NM.
4g-average about 3mb/s down and 4mb/s with a ping around 100
3g- Average around .7 mb/s down and .8 mb/s up with a ping around 140....
So post your stats, lets see where 4g is really fast
new 4g city here... been testing for a month, finally official on the 17th.. still crappy speeds

I'm in El Paso TX. I drive around all day throughout the whole city. In my house my DL is about 8.5mb .Around my in laws its pretty solid 20mb dl. Throughtout the majority of the city its about 13mb dl. I never pay much attention to up load though.
But these are also realistic speeds cuz I download roms, apps, and torrents on my REZ all the time and speeds are pretty consistent to where I'm at. Example. In my house it takes less then 10 min for 500mb of data. At my in-laws its under 5min.for the same size.

I just tried out the Speedtest.net app for the heck of it. I'm in a 4G extended network in north San Diego yet for some reason, the app said "Woodland Park, CO" was the best server. It didn't even let me select a CA server(didn't show any in the list for that matter.
Anyway, I just tested 4G and it showed:
12.75Mbps DOWN, 3.59Mbps UP, 109ms PING

Switched apps to the 'FCC Mobile Broadband Test' and this one allowed me to select a server in Los Angeles, CA. This time the results are different:
23.68Mbps DOWN, 4.01Mbps UP, 80ms PING
Yeah, beat my 4G upload! (without Photoshop lol)
For some reason, on 4G it likes to freeze the app right at 49% complete on the upload part. Exited out of the app, went back in and saw that lol.

I got the update through the soak test. My phone never froze before the. 211 update. My phone is now officially unstable. Kinda sucks, actually. About to do a factory reset and see if that helps. A few apps always force close like One Click Clear. 4 G signal for me is worse. Plus ICS uses a lot more data, if and when my apps that use data work. Flip board is another app that freezes a lot. Have cleared data. Uninstalled and reinstalled apps. All have not helped.

yeah the 3G/4G toggle sucks but its an easy enough work around with LTE OnOff, I'm still going thru it but battery life doesn't seam horribly bad not more then 5-10% less of what it was before the update (have you rebooted since finishing the whole update process, sometimes that helps).
Things I've noticed about the OTA, atleast for me anyway:
1: bluetooth now connects everytime (so far) sometimes on GB it wouldn't
2: better reception, I can talk on my phone in places I couldn't before.
3: I have a smart action set to shutoff Data when screen is off and it reconnects to 3G (no 4G here yet) much quicker and much more reliably now.
Over all I'm very happy with ICS.
ICS WiFi strength
Has anyone on ICS noticed an increase in signal strenth when wifi is turned on? My XT910 (still waiting for ICS) has poor wifi strength. My iPhone can see more networks when outside.:cyclops:
I got exact the same message couple of hours ago. My phone is rooted and I sideloaded the OTA.
OK so this problem started out small a few days ago until now when my screen went down for 30 minutes..
It's weird it just shows a fuzzy screen like a old school TV did that had no reception. This has now occurred on two different ROMs so I know it is not related in that way...
I'm thinking its a hardware or software problem with my screen. Has anybody else experienced this or should I take it into sprint... I have tried taking a screen shot of it but when I do, it actually takes a pic of whatever screen my phone is on eg: home screen, Facebook, XDA etc.... But still has the fuzzy screen....
Any help would be gratefully... Thanks
Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using xda app-developers app
That definitely sounds like a hardware problem. It shouldn't be consistent with more than one rom. Furthermore, you are the only case where I have heard this (I saw your post with the first occurrence on the Sense 5/ 4.1 port).
Flash VipeRUU if you are S-Off, and run along to Sprint. If you aren't, flash the latest stock rom, and remove SU permissions from within the app itself. They *might* not notice (they didn't for me).

That definitely sounds like a hardware problem. It shouldn't be consistent with more than one rom. Furthermore, you are the only case where I have heard this (I saw your post with the first occurrence on the Sense 5/ 4.1 port).

Wow. Looks like your phone froze during a CRT shutdown.

The phone just freezes up when I'm doing something and I press the power button to turn off the screen. And when I press it again to unlock the phone it has that screen...

man that is freaky... it happened to me too but only once. I also have backlight issues on my evo lte. It'll start flickering and the backlight will just die. The phone will still work but the screen wont. Does that ever happen to you?

Not yet just the 80's scrambled porn screen.. I just got this phone a couple weeks ago.
So far since I did the ruu it hasn't happened again. It happened to me this morning twice, the first time it came back after 3-4 hard reboots. The second time it was like that the whole time I slept, and of course right before I did the ruu it came back on LOL..
I am going to give this another night at work if it doesn't do it again I'm thinking it is a glitch in the rooting of the phone if it does then I will take it to sprint tomorrow..

Even I had the same problem - the Sprint store near me replaced the phone (so lost most of my data & s-off phone) but there were others who said they were able to get the Sprint store to replace the screen.. YMMV
All the best!
Thanks for that link.. I think I might just leave early for work tonight and stop by sprint..
Edit nevermind on going to sprint since there hours are 9:30am-7pm and my work is 10:45pm-6:45am. I'm not going to sit around and wait..
