How to Fix AT&T Data Throttle Your 4G - Your Data Usage is Among The Top 5% Of Users
There is a nice little APN fix. Just change the APN to Phone and force your phone to use HSPA in your phone's settings. I have instructions with a screenshot...
http://www.traemcneely.com/2011/12/...rottle-4g-data-anti-throttling-trick-for-att/

How do you perform the first step on the skyrocket?
1. Go to Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Click Network Mode and force your phone to use GSM/HSPA (Auto mode).
I don't see "network mode".

Click Access Point Name..
I am now getting 512k vs 150k.

Found another trick.
I named the access point the same ATT pta, then I put Phone under the APN setting.
Put your phone into GSM/HSPA (auto mode) let it connect to the network,
then go back and put it as HSPA only.....I'm getting 1-2g+ bypassing the throttle using HSPA+ works like a charm.

Att Throttle Samsung Skyrocket
i did all when i click on Mobile networks i see access point names and network operators and use packet data. When i click on network operators is says Default setup doesnt allow me to do anything. Please help

Same here. Don't see 'network.mode' selection. Please help. Does it have to be rooted?

I am still not sure where/how to pick "GSM/HSPA (Auto mode)" on stock rom. Thats not an option.
What I have are:
WCDMA preferred - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 3G is favored more.
GSM only - The GSM phone is capable of using only 2G data communication. When the 2G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
WCDMA only - The GSM phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
GSM auto (PRL) - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more. This one is a bit confusing to me since PRL is associated mostly with CDMA technology and not GSM technology.
CDMA auto (PRL) - The CDMA phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more.
CDMA only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 2G data communication. When the 2G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
EvDo only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) - Some phones are equipped with both GSM and CDMA capabilities. This setting appears to just have the phone attempt to stay connected to the data communication type that works the best. (Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S will take advantage of this???)
Unknown - If none of the above fit or the phone is acting weird as far as connecting to the carrier, you will see your preferred network type is set to this
(Cut n paste from another thread, dont know if these are applicable to Skyrocket/LTE)

Thanks for the pointer to the thread but my whole point is that I dont see those options and for some reason my network mode changes dont stick.
So if I disable packet network, switch the APN, change the network mode and then enable the network again, I see that it has gone back to GSM?WCDMA/LTE auto mode again.
So for some reason my network mode changes dont stick. Also, I am on stock rom, could that be the reason!

Custom ROMS give you the options you are looking for.

I am confused ! If the stock radio is *locked* to use LTE if available, why are some people reporting to lock onto HSPA+ network with stock ROM. Are they exploiting some bug?
I have tried various things but I cant switch my radio to anything except GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto mode. It seems to come back to that mode.
Do I need a reboot after changing the mode.
I am using *#*4636#*#* to switch the mode.

Switching APN 's worked like a charm ;o)

AT&T HTC ONE X - 4g setting disabled

Hello,
I recently bought a At&t HTX one X. It has a Unlocked Bootloader and i have also unlocked it so that i can use it with other Service Providers. But i found out that the 4g is always on and when i go into the network setting, the option Data Roaming is disabled.
I am loosing a lot of money because of this.
Under the mobile Network Settings i can only see 3 options .
1. Data Roaming [This option is disabled]
2. Access Point Names
3.Network operators
Can somebody please help me with finding a solution to get 4g disabled?
Thanks in advance

Go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*. Go to phone information, and pick wcdma preferred.
Sent from my One XL

ok cool.. now i see 4 options
1. Phone information
2. Battery information
3. Usage statistics
4. Wifi information
I went to phone information : - set the preferred network type as GSM only
Now i can see the 4g symbol disabled... great
But now i see the "E" symbol on.
How do i get rid of that ?
"GSM only" is this the right option i selected ?

more info
WCDMA preferred option is keeping the 4g active. i am a GSM user so tried GSM only and it worked. but the E symbol is still on.

4g = hspa (3.5g) 4g LTE = LTE
So wcdma preferred = cell and 3g
GSM/wcdma/lte = cell, 3g, LTE

This doesn't work on the AT&T version (and stock ROM), it will just go back to the default setting.
Only way to really shut it off is to flash a ROM with the LTE toggle.

thanks redpoint. can u suggest me a link where i can get step by step instructions to the rom you are referring to.

this has to get asked atleast 5 times a week since the phone came out

Thanks in advance

Hi
Your observation is true..I have Skyrocket,but the ATT Version,using with BSNL..
My network mode is not exactly the same...so..I have 'WCDMA Preferred'..and using it I get 4G(HSPA)..but with 1 or 2 signal bar at my home...but at some places I get good signal(4G is not avaialbale everywhere).Since I'm not a internet freak,i switched over to 'GSM Only'.in which I get at least 4bars..with good internet connectivity('Edge'!)
India is not truly a 3G place,leave alone 4G..Mind you this is the situation at 'India's so called silion valley'--Bangalore:highfive:
If the Rogers one don't have this,may be FLASH a ATT ROM---I use

Enter *#*#4636#*#* on your dialer, tap Phone Information, scroll down to "Set preferred network type:", and make sure "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)" is selected. (If you're in the US)

Toggle to 3G and then back to LTE after you make sure your APN is correct. I had to do that on mine to get it to grab LTE initially, it's been fine ever since.

[Q] 4g disappeard

yesterday i flashed 23.0.A.2.93, to root and get recovery. when the flash was finished and it reboot, my 4g was gone, and i only got edge. i live in the woods, but i had 4g before. when i went to town, the E changed to H, but still slow, and no 4g. now i've flashed back to 23.1.A.1.28 (modded CE1) and still no 4g. why is this, and what can i do to fix this? i have the right APN

Did you check to make sure 4G is enabled? You can press the 4G switch from the quick settings menu or go into the settings app and then under Wireless and Networks ...More >Mobile Networks > Preferred Network type. Perhaps you have WCDMA (preferred/GSM selected, in which case you won't see the 4G icon come up even if you're in a 4G area. Switch to 4G (preferred/WCDMA/GSM and after a few minutes, your phone should switch to 4G. If it doesn't then tap on Network Operators and see if your network has a 4G signal in your area. You'll see an entry for each available 2G, 3G and 4G signal.
You can also change the preferred network type from the service menu. Dial *#*#SERVICE#*#* and then tap on Network Mode.
Hope that helps.
SF

it was on "WCDMA (preferred)/GSM", changed to "LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM", now i have LTE, but thats not the same as 4g right? *#*#SERVICE#*#* > service settings the "Network Mode" option is grey and it says "N/A"

Suddenly, it started with 4g again, thanks
