Yet to be throttled since I updated. - T-Mobile LG G2x

I have 10 Gigs a month and I'm at 10.32 Gigs and still getting 4Mb down and 1.7Mb up also the my account apparently usually displays a message when you go into saying due to data usage your speed will be slowed but there isn't a message...what do you think in the leak could be the reason for this.

I torrented parallels, windows xp, and the last epidsode of curb using my phone tethered to my mac. All downloaded within an hour. So fast.

I just used adownloader yesterday to download around 500mb of stuff. Downloaded in around 20 mins on 4G in the movies lol. By the way, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, pretty good!

I get great speeds over 4G. Going over wifi I am getting the same results you are. I an glad I got in on the unlimited plan.

My torrents always start very slow and go up to 400 or so kbps if i wait 5 minutes or so. Also make sure you are downloading a file with a lot of seeders.

Problems

Other than rom kinks what are some hardware problems with the sgs 4g
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Depends on who you ask. Mine didn't have any stock out of the box. Some people had GPS problems.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
GPS is notoriously flakey
Poor design tradeoffs, in my opinion include:
The choice to have only a 1 GB internal flash was very limiting (only a fraction available to user programs and data), especially with the as-shipped fota bloat
No flash for the camera (and mediocre camera performance compared to its peers)
This phone was amazing for me right out of the box, wasn't thrilled with camera and storage as listed earlier. But my big complaint was when I went from froyo to gingerbread via kies everything would force close and it lagged everything down, but finding this amazing forum and rooting and flashing custom roms fixed everything. Been very pleased with my phone ever since.

Only problem I feel was a flaw is the 2gig internal memory....even the vibrant which is the predecessor to this has 16 gig internal
The cameras, just terrible
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
My bad...
I came from the almighty mytouch 4g slide. So everything to me is a great down fall. The only thing I really like about this phone is the size and speedyness of it but I miss my dual core processor I just didn't feel like getting a new one and this was free.

Unlimited 4g workaround

Unlimited 4g. I'm sure you've all heard about it. I went and checked it out. Apparently the only catch is you can't hotspot. But since I'm rooted and running cm7 I should be able to still use hotspot with a third party app, right?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Tethering is built into cm7, no need for an app.. and you might need to change the user agent on the device you tether so you don't get the tmobile redirect.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I am on the unlimited 4g, if I use Firefox, default settings, it seems to work fine. IE blows in the first place, but for the sake of mentioning it, and doesn't work, routes everything to a page telling me to buy tethering. I can also torrent just fine. I guess part of it is just the port it's set to listen on, 80, and if there is activity on other ports, so what.
Edit: also, SSL sites work.

I use the hotspot for my laptop and my lady's g2x. She is on the monthly 4g I'm not concerned with using my laptop, it's her g2x that worries me. I don't see how tmobile would catch on. But I wanted to run it by you guys before switching and potentially voiding my contract
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
so what your saying here is that if i switch to the New Unlimited Nationwide 4g data package i wont be able to tether my tablet to my phone?
That's what they told me but (I may be wrong) if you are using a custom rom or just rooted with a thrid party hotspot app tmobile want be able to detect or stop you, right?

So far it's not given me a problem at all.

Nevermind catching a tmobile redirect on my laptop. Working on getting around it

I use Google Chrome & change the user agent. Give that a go.
How do you do that without an add-on
I figured it out. I sometimes forget Google answers all.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
bit the bullet and switch to the unlimited 4g plan and i havent had any problems with surfing the web or streaming media on my tablet tethered to my phone. i have gtab 2 with cm10 and g2x with cm7.

Chrome Issues

Has anyone else had issues using Chrome? When. I use it it seems very slow and gets the phone very hot. Also sometimes the keyboard won't load and the data goes grey and finally the app will just close, not fc just close.
I am on dao's CM10.2 running dao's 9/2 kernel.

You are probably running out of RAM or something silly like that. Out phone is old and out of practice. Also, you should ask this in the Q&A that you created.

Well I wasn't sure if it is a cm10.2 issue or something else. I know the phones are old. Funny thing is when I enable the ram performance settings the phone goes slower.
I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue with chrome.

Anyone's YouTube app been buffering like crazy on mobile data?

This started for me about two days ago. I've uninstalled, cleared cache and data. I finally got it working again by reverting back to the stock pre-installed app. Anyone know where to get the version before this most recent update?

Mine has for the last 3 days and im only 3 blocks from my home tower and have 5 bars and good download speeds as well

Reverting back to the originally installed app should help.

I kept getting FC's until I uninstalled the updates.
Been happening to me and I've been on WiFi.
What Rom are you guys on? I'm on stock and I haven't had this issue

It's also been happening to me over Wi-Fi as well.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've had this happen to me as well. Could never figure out what it was but eventually the problem went away. My only theory is Verizon throttling me for using to much data but I don't know cause I average about 30-40gigs a month and it doesn't happen every month.
Getting the same over data

Did for me.
I tried a few older YouTube apks and I am happy with 5.3.23. Everything after that buffers like crazy for me.
