What does being throttled mean? And what should i say if i called them

Throttled means you've gone over your data cap on the nonunlimited plans so they slow your speeds down to .17mbps or 170kbps <~ I think it's something like that. But not much you can do till next month when your in the new billing cycle.

hmmm...try this

change ro.ril.hsxpa=2

change ro.ril.gprsclass=12

or just change the bottom one to 12 and see if your speeds change...use build.prop editor from the play store if your not good with root explorer..

your speeds will general increase but so will battery usage...but only slightly

you need to reboot after the changes
 
I suppose so. I tried in the car after work and got another 3mb down immediately after running it lol

those speed increase apps actually work? i heard they're just placebos.

They do connect you to different towers and give you the fastest speed possible but most of time this is already done automatically. Usually it just depends on your location

It went up. But not enough to really matter.

Damn Ldrifta I like when you start messing with things like that is like you work magic once again men happy to have you here men :thumbup:
 
I'm on p.r.l 2032 if I'm not mistaken that's a old p.r.l .we need to be on a higher p.r.l I think for that governor of theirs to go away.... What you guys think?
 
Hay drifter what app you using to change that?, is that build prop work you can do with certain apps off the android market?

Lol the ril browser hack worked thanks drift.:)
