Htc data usage

Im coming up on 24gb of data usage on my thunderbolt and still have 15 days left on this billing cycle. Has anybody here passed this amount of usage and has verizon tried to limit the data after too much usage.
thanks

The fine print says if you are in the top 5% in data usage they will throttle. But I asked sales rep and manager at my Verizon store and they said unlimited means unlimited to them.

$30, I hope unlimited data from Verizon meant unlimited data, no gab after certain amount of usage. I am at about 20GB "finger cross"

I'm lucky to push 5gb. What am I doing wrong?

I got the Thunderbolt on March 28th. My first billing cycle ran from that 28th to April 6th. That time, I hit around 30gb. So far from April 7th to now, the 29th, I've hit 77.974gb with my bill cycle May 6th. So far, no throttling, nothing like that. When I noticed my internet went out during the big, nationwide LTE crash two days ago, I thought at first VZW cut me off for high usage. I was relieved to go onto this forum and find I wasn't the only one.
I don't want to brag about it, but since I haven't seen any negative actions so far, you should be good to go. I don't know if I get preferential treatment due to being a VZW employee though...
And for those who are curious, all that usage is from "Internet Connection Mode", USB tethering to my PC, downloading PC games from Steam and some torrents.

72GB......*@%$-#&#*!!!! Lol. Highest I've gone is 16GB I think. U tethering like a mad man?

I finally found the thing I can get into the Guinness Book of World Records.
And I forgot from my previous post, I also used the wireless tether to download content to my newly bought PS3 as well in addition to torrents and PC games from Steam.

When I tether my 4G connection and download torrents I only get about 1 kbps down! Do you change your settings in your torrent program for tethering?

Wow. 72GB?
I noticed that the first 7 days of use, my usage shot up to about 4gigs. Then it seems to have slowed to about 5.5gigs total in the next 14 days, and now i stand at 5.7gigs. Got 1 more week left on bill cycle.

I haven't made any modifications at all. I simply connect my Thunderbolt to my PC, it asks me what option I wish to choose, I choose "Internet Connection Mode", wait a few seconds and I am connected. The fastest speeds I have gotten down so far are 2MB/s, the fastest upload around 500KB/s.

Is the 'internet connection mode' like an official tethering option that verizon can know about? me wants to know if I can be charged for it.

Thanks a lot geniuses for the throttleing and tiered structure to come soon.

vzw didn't throttle or anything which kind of surprised me. not going to do it every month as this was only a test. my normal monthly usage is between 5-10gb. my home cable on other hand usually goes over 300gb a month

Unlimited will be unlimited until you sign a new contract. End of story. If they try to change your contract on you, correct me if I'm wrong, that relieves you of any ETF they can try to hit you with. Just my .02.

If they going to limit the data then they need to remove the word unlimited. Whether you are the top 5% of their users or not. Not many people read the fine prints. When I login and see a big word stating unlimited. So I beleive I have unlimited.

How much data are you using each month?

Go to att.com and pull up your past data useage and post it up!
Mine. I just started using my wireless whenever I'm at home. So it's less than it could be for the last month or two.

Past usage and for this month...

I download about 100 gigs a month on my home internet. Less than 2 gigs a month on my phone. I'll watch streaming videos on youtube, cnn, and such once in a while. If I want to watch something whole movies or tv shows on long trips, I'll just put it on the phone.

My highest was 1.8 GB last November when the skyrocket launched...probably all the speed tests I did! I feel like I am on the phone all the time, but there is wifi about everywhere I go...may sell the skyrocket for the GNote if the battery life is decent.

Right now I have sprint and get unlimited data. I'm switching to AT&T to get the skyrocket next month.
Once I switch I will only have 3gb of data.
Can anyone confirm rather or not there is a way to set the skyrocket to download updates to apps only while connected to wifi? Or maybe a way to set it to only download updates from like 2am to 6am? (while I'm at home sleep and connected to wifi)
Thanks!

Yes, there is. You can set that inside the settings/preferences within the Market app. That's the same across the board with the new Market App on all android devices. Presently, I have mine to only update when on wifi, so that saves on the data use because I'm still on the 2gig limit.

Man, I am WAY on the other end of the spectrum from you guys.
I use consistently less than 100 MB. It's really all the garbage and bloatware backgrounding data that will kill you. I turn data off when I'm not using it, and mostly use it for web/forum browsing and GPS nav when I'm away from WiFi, and a lot of times I'm as low as like 30MB for the month.

Man, you guys use so little data.
I mean, I use quite a bit, but usually not more then 6GB, and that's a lot for me on mobile data.
I still wonder how AT&T compresses data, because I watched a 2 hour live stream on LTE, and only used 200MB of data... insane.

Thank you for this...
I have always wondered how much data is being used when watching Netflix. Based on your post about 100MB per hour... So a 30 min show would be about 50mb.
Question: where are tou streaming from? Netflix? Crackle? Some others?

On average I hit anywhere from 15-28GB a month... Yeah I know...

I have a 6 gigs monthly limit..... used 4.6 gigs last month

I tend to use a lot of data. I stream from Pandora at least a couple hours every day. I could use wifi more at home, but LTE is still faster than my 15Mbps home connection. I wouldn't say I abuse it (I tether very little), but I do use every bit I can of my "unlimited" data.

Wow seriously 100gigs.. I guess my question is how to you guys feel about the amount of usage? Part of me says cmon its a digital world of course people will use more data, these days even young kids have cell and tablets.. But then I feel like damn how much do you really need? Abuse or is it advancement I'm just not sure how to feel... I use about a 1g a month but then again I use wifi at home school the coffee shop, mall wherever I can get a single just to save my data..

I think he said 100 gigs on his home internet. I am sure I use at least that much, probably more. We have a desktop, three laptops and 2 ipad plus two phones and 2 rokus. I have Verizon Fios Internet with a 50 down 20 up and we do a lot of streaming on our home connection!
On my phone however, I have not gone over 2 GB since wifi is everywhere. I will usually use wifi even if it is in a place where it is slower than LTE. I do not think I have ever streamed over LTE except when making video calls with my kids.

less than 200 MB

haha yah i did so many speedtests when i first got my skyrocket. That was the most i used in one month...1.7GB. There really arent many places i dont have wifi tho so it was surprising to me that i went that high

There is an app that you can set scripts based on time location. Depending what you script it to do depends on you though. For the life of me I cannot think of the app name( found in market). I have tried them before. Neat idea.
I also got throttled first month with skyrocket. Moving to new house...internet wasn't hooked up yet...so if course tether my phone to my PC and create a bridge to cat5 going to supply my Xbox. (No wireless adapter yet]. And downloading movies from demonoid. But not illegally I might add

[Q] 32 GB vs 16 GB

I was thinking about buying a N5 and was wondering if it would be worth the extra $50 to get the 32 GB version. Has anyone run into a problem with the 16 GB version not having enough storage? I don't have a crazy amount of apps, music or pictures on my current phone so i'm not sure that I would need 32 GB. Thanks!
P.S. I'm really excited to join this community and I can't wait to get my hands on this phone!

If you root and need to take backups, or if you ever install any games, You'll possibly find 16 isnt enough.
You dont get 16 anyway. You get 12 ish

Im rooted and made backups and have gots loads of space left out of my 16gb got loads of apps too

I don't have games on my Nexus 5, and I always have 3 TWRP backups.. still 8gb left :silly:

well, for just 50$ more i think it's ever worth to get double the storage. If you don't have it from the start, no problem but when you get the extra GBs and can load on it tons of photos, videos, music etc etc without have to thing :"that's too big" you will see the difference.

Also these days you can store all your pics and apps on the cloud and still access off your phone and save yourself $50

My own usage
I have 16Gb model and i have a lot of pics, music and videos on my Nexus 5. I still have 5-6Gb free space. Just a few example why 16Gb is enough:
Pictures -> Cloud
Music -> Spotify etc.. (you can always delete app data if spotify storage comes too big)
Videos/Movies -> USB OTG
I don't play games much, so i don't have games installed on my Nexus 5. I suggest you to save your $50, and use it for example USB OTG, good memory card and you're more than good to go. :victory:

Happy with my social life and girlfriend, thanks for your concern.
Edit > Not that I post for "thanks" or even care about them but I did notice that OP only thanks those who suggest 16 GB is fine, ergo it is apparent his mind is already made up and only seeks validation that 16 GB is the version for him to go for,

I would go with 32gb I got a 16 GB and had to buy a meenova SD card reader to store my files and music

I'm down to 4GB remaining out of 26GB(32 model). I'd say $50 is a reasonable for the upgraded storage.

I have 16gb. I keep one nandroid, I stream music, have a lot of apps and have a lot of Zooper files with 6.6gb left over.
sEnT fROM dA rOoT oF KTU84mmm

I would go for 32gb too. Pixtures can be big ( quality) so a quality picture will take more space. Then you never will have the folowing problem: I forgot to backup my pictures and when i'm at holiday and suddenly no memory left anymore... .
Also I think that the system will work great if half of memory is not used( like windows on a pc) but i'm not sure if this is the case for N5.
so if It was me , i would buy the 32gb, if i had the money for it.

Better safe than sorry. Its definitely worth it if you're into downloading media contents alot. On the other hand if you still wish to get 16GB version then make sure to get a micro USB card reader.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I chose 32GB(Actual 26.7GB) because I'm the kind of person who always stores music, videos, games, downloads for entertainment purposes.
I only connect the Internet when I'm at home or when I have mobile data subscription.
But if you have a Highspeed Mobile Internet, you can store everything in a cloud so 12GB can do.
Depends on how you use it.

Can't believe they don't offer more than 32GB on a device without an SD card. Seriously is it still 2012???what year is it,

I got the 16GB and spent the $50 in accessories (Case, Screen Protector, headphones...) since I was on a budget. Also it will all depend on your habits, but like many here have mention it is safer with the 32GB.

At&t flex2 h950

Just picked up the flex2 from at&t at lunch today. So far its been performing great, at least when comparing to my nexus 5 on 5.1. Did not experience any lag so far like some early reviews suggest. Not sure if the 3gb ram helps here. Will report more on battery later.

Same. Battery life is my only concern. I feel like I won't be able to make it through the day anymore. It's 11:30am (I've been up 3 hours), and I'm at 62%. It's exactly what I predicted would happen in my post a few months ago (Link).
But as far as performance, this thing is rocking.

Screen ghosting: No, burnt images no longer show up like they did on the first gen.
Carrier IQ: This is new to me, however, in the list of packages there is a "LADDM 5.0.1-H95010d". I also just did some research on it. I download 3C Toolbox and it definitely has carrieriq.

No ghosting at all. And the performance has been superb. One thing I noticed though is the screen brightness range being quite limited. Its not bright enough under sunlight and not dim enough at night. Screen in most lighting condition is great and vivid though with some noticeable grainy areas. And smart screen feature is not included (the phone stays awake as the front camera detects your face). Not a deal breaker but nice to have feature.
Battery life is great for me. I started my day at 7am and ended up 65% coming home at 6pm with 1.5hr screen on time. I am a light user with occasional YouTube and play music stream, and some email checking web browsing. Connected to my moto360 all the time. No GPS no Wi-Fi just lte. I know the battery life depends much on personal usage, and for me it is great and I'm going to keep my phone (was thinking about switching to the s6 edge).
One big plus is the quick charge 2.0. Boy it does charge fast, and I think it's the one feature I can't live without moving forward.

That's good to hear. Mine should be delivered in about 12 hours from now and I am sending my nexus 6 back. I am on my 4th warranty replacement , seems moto does not do a very good job refurbishing phones. Looking forward to getting back to lg.

US Default Applications AT&T H950
Is it at all possible for someone in this thread to help me in discovering which app I have deleted on accident with the AT&T Variant H950. I am unsure as to exactly why I have no data any longer but I'm sure it is because I have deleted a specific app that is needed in order to access the ATT Data as well as do any kind of call forwarding as well. Perhaps someone here in the thread can post a list of their exact applications so I can find out exactly what it is that I am missing. I have called AT&T about the issue and they are currently investigating the matters but If it is something I can figure out without help I would be much happier without the 90 minutes of wait time. Thank YOU!!

Re: H950 stock Firmware
I have searched the threads here and can't seem to find the ATT H950 firmware files anywhere. Does anyone have a link to the files needed to go back to stock?

Tutorial- how to tether ps4 unrestricted

Would anyone be interested in having this? If there's support I'll write it up, but if not don't wanna waste my time...chime in if you think this would be a good tutorial.
Edit- i want to be sure to give credit on this to the original tmo upsell page that i can't seem to find now to link at the moment smh that's what made me investigate after reading reports in that thread that it no longer worked, but seems it does, the major difference- i think- being to specify another user agent, don't just strip it null, and I'm working on tweaking the setup because fiddler4 isn't handling the certificate requests quite right, which causes you to have to babysit it in the case of large downloads where the same http tunnel has to be opened for an extended period of time, so once i have the links out I'll post the planned "tutorial", and i think in the meantime i might just document my process on getting the glitches out of fiddler4- errr should i say, adjusting it's handling of such- for the sake of someone else who may be in my position and want to use a wireless connection for their ps4. In the UK tmo had signed agreements with Sony to make data available to people who purchase the system because Sony knows how important it is to have data access. No one wants to shell out 500+ bucks on a system and then find out that system could eat as much as 300gb of data in a month. Even how cable service in some places have caps in place and throttling- like if you're unfortunate enough to have hughesnet smh not that 1st person stuff is gonna run with 1500-2000ms ping time averages, but there are still games that aren't as ping intensive that'll work fine, and the large file downloads are much better than years ago, onboard routing on the birds has made lots of difference. It's still inherently ping challenged, but other than that it's really pretty good- but the usage caps are miserable, along with others who have dsl or other smaller regional providers, it can get excessive- buy 3 or 4 60 buck games in one month and see if updates alone don't cost ya 50gb+! So the idea, yes, is to swap out all the http headers on the fly so that not just browsers from a pc are able to spoof the packet header, but ALL traffic, irregardless of its' source- so even your ps4 or Xbox one- as long as you have a pc (I'm sure a mac could probably be used, but I'm using a win10 pc, so that's what I'm writing on) to put between the console/tv/pc/bluray player/you get it and your wireless device you can replace the header of every packet that passes thru and make tmo's systems see the connection as an android chrome device instead of, say, a PS4
More to come.........

Alrighty, well give me a bit to type it up with all the links etc...it requires you to connect your device to your pc via USB and enable the tether, then connect your ps4 directly to your pc with a crossover cable, bridge those two connections, run Fiddler4 on the pc with a few settings enabled that strip the user agent string from every http header and replace it. It's basically an update to the thread that already exists that explains how to do it using the old fiddler 2...but i guess people no longer were able to make it work for whatever reason, but i got the new fiddler 4 running great! I'm currently in excess of my 7gb of hotspot data by about 80gb and i hadn't been able to get the ps4 to download the black ops 3 update for like a week- Netflix would work on the ps4, but downloads from the notification page would get throttled and there wasn't any good way to get around it without getting rid of that user agent string. Vpn is too slow and/or expensive, so I'm thrilled i found this workaround still works with some updated software! i haven't been able to play black ops 3 multiplayer for over a week because i needed this 9gb update and couldn't download it! Smh lol but all is well! Fiddler handles it like a champ! Not the most convenient thing to have to connect everything with wires and put a laptop between the ps4 and the device, but it sure does work!

Sure beats getting throttled!

What kind of plan do you have with T-Mobile? I have only 1GB of data plan at the moment but if I tether anything over 1GB of data then I'll be throttled down to a very slow speed.

Yeah, it doesn't really help you unless you have unlimited device data and only measured hotspot data....

Well I've got to tell ya, it's been REALLY hit or miss, fiddler 4 WILL remove or replace your useragent string in the ip header but that's only getting you past the automated checking, but post analysis may still get you dinged depending on what exactly you're doing....
