new update spys on you??

i did the update att sent me the other day and the first time i tethered after doing it was last night then this morning i get a msg from att to call them. so i did and they informed me they knew i was tethering but could not tell me how they new i was doing it. so now i am thinking about a new rom. i will reroot first and see if it replaced the tethering apk. if anyone has any information on this update please let me know. i was going to copy the msg they sent to me for the update but it conveniently del'd itself on reboot.

People have been getting nailed right and left, seemingly regardless of ROM. I don't think the update has anything to do with it, they're likely doing some packet inspection to determine what OS the packets are originating from.

when i called in regarding the nasty gram. she emphasized to update my phone. so im guess that is where it is coming from. id agree with you.

Yeah, looks like it was the update. It's weird that all of you got caught those,
I tethered a decent amount a few days ago(don't care if anyone knows, even you AT&T spies!) while my home internet was out, not a thing.
Guess we know not to use any new updates from AT&T until we find out how they detect us without tetheringmanager.apk..

It's because you're using a stock ROM. I believe there's a service (though I can't for the life of me remember what it's called) that can detect if you're tethering or not. Custom ROMs remove the service so they can't tell.

Im on infused 2.2.3 and I tethered a little bit today and have not gotten anything yet, seems to working fine.

I think the majority of people who are getting nailed are using LARGE amounts of data i know one guy posted he has used 8 gig of data just on tethering

the most ive done is 11gb a month...

Yeah, I used that much the other week... I've been running CM7 so I'm pretty sure that AT&T is doing some packet sniffing to see the useragent of the packets coming through. I don't think it has to do with the OS you're running.
I got a nastygram saying to stop by September 30th or they'll charge me. So far this month I've use 18gb so I'm sucking as much as I can before they cut me off!!

Whammy!!! Double whammy!! Triple whammy!!! I thought I used net a lot cos I use close to 1.5 GB a month at peak times.. with my avg around 1 GB, and no tethering whatsoever. No wonder AT&T is tracking on tethering users.

This month is the most data I've ever used, and that's 4.2GB right now.... I don't get how you suck up so much data.... maybe lots of videos..... you know..... lol.

Bloat Freeze to block the tethering.apk It won't phone home then ;-)
Works for me and I just updated using the recent 14MB (I think) file the other day. and tethered for a few hours....so far so good anyway.

My wife who has a Streak just got her nasty gram yesterday, now she does tether ALOT, but her phone does not even show a disclaimer for the mobile hotspot like ours does. So, i dont think it has anything to do with the update.
I dont tether alot but I do tether and most months stay around 8-10gigs. (most of that is actually on my phone, I like Netflix)
She is pissed because out where we live we do not have any high speed internet options but we have AWESOME data speeds with ATT but none of the other carriers have anything close. we thought about getting one of those mifi hotspots but ATT only has a 5gig one and that is just a joke to to think 3 teens and 2 adults are going to make that work.

actually i would be paying the same price i am not for an UNLIMITED data plan to go down to a 4gb plan that allows me to tether. But when I got my Unlimited Plan there was nothing said about not being alowed to tether my phone. to my PC actually the rep in the store showed me how to do it with my old tilt.

Lucky bastards... I'm stuck on 2GB, so tethering really isn't a viable replacement option for me.
That being said, I find it absolutely bullsh*t that you have to pay for a certain way to use your data. Why should AT&T give a damn how you use your data? I pay for 2GB, I should be able to use it, however the hell I want.

Got a letter in the mail today dying they're going to add tethering and I haven't done it in 4 months. The hell??????

How much data do YOU use?

I just got online and checked my data usage on AT&T, and I used about 100 Gig this pay period...good thing i have unlimited after being transferred from Alltel
How much do you all use?

100gig WTF ARE YOU using that much data for .. BTW this is nothing more than a e-peenis stroking contest ... and will turn south REALLY fast

I use my phone for Wifi at home. and I didn't mean to create a thread doomed for disaster...let's hope it doesn't become that!?

and this ladies and gents is WHY phone carriers put caps on data ... don't try and defend it 100g is ****ing crazy simple crazy your phones data is not meant to POWER the whole freaking house's internets

alright??? maybe this thread should be locked... my bad.

1.8 gb, Im a normal user.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

~0.75-1.5 GB.... never crossed 1.5 GB. Typical - 0.75 - 1.25 GB in any given month, including use of maps, etc. I don't stream music or videos, except maybe once in a while when totally bored.
And as far as using as WiFi at home, get a basic cable internet for like 20 or 30 a month. You'll atleast help people connected to your tower get better speeds.

Porn in HD....takes alot of data....

lol well I tether to my laptop to watch Netflix in the back of my truck out and about, and i use Pandora quite a bit... 100gig is my biggest month ever, but i loved alltel and they gave me unlimited data no problem...so ATT had better honor that for what i pay, and i do plan on getting Wifi at home, however most of my data usage is movies on the go.

Let me guess: when you get busted using your 100 gigs tethered, the next thread will be "att is mean to me and it's not fair! "

My biggest month? 114mb. Seriously.
Which is why I've used GoPhone for the last year. Ten bucks a month.
That is, until AT&T just decided that in order to get data, I need to buy $25 worth of airtime I don't need. F*** AT&T.

Even if I had 2 bars I dont think it'd have this much of an impact. A while back I tested speeds with a buddy who had an iPhone 5 and we were hitting 40mbps and I had usually 3 bars in that class.

I honestly think it's something to do with your service at the moment. I was throttled recently and my LTE speeds wouldn't even hit close to 1Mbps, but my ping was its normal speed. Your ping is over 3 times what mine is. Granted not everyone is the same but your ping seems awful high to me. Do you remember what your ping normally is when your speeds are fast? Also, when being throttled my speed test would shoot up real fast like normal for just a second before the throttle kicked in. Does yours do that?

Well that doesn't make any sense, if data speeds are your concern. The Nexus 4 doesn't even get LTE.
But these aren't even close to throttling speeds. Those are more on the order of 100-200 kbps from what others have posted on here. Are you on a custom ROM, and if so which one?
If this is a spontaneous change, could just be a network issue.

Your ping should be in the 50ms, or under, range but in both of your screenshots it was over 160. That's why I don't think you were being throttled. Are you on one of the old unlimited plans still? Those are the only plans you will get throttled on, I believe. I lost my unlimited data when my company changed how they did company phones so now I'm on a mobile share plan which I know they won't throttle me on. Why throttle customers that go over their data when they can just charge them more.

Yes Yes and Yes

Really? I think this phone is extremely easy to mod. Sure, we had to wait to get the bootloader unlocked and s-off but the methods are simple enough to do. Once you have a custom recovery it's exactly the same as any other phone out there.
Back to the throttling thing. Do you know how much data you've used this billing cycle? I used to go over 5GB a month when I was unlimited and never got throttled. The only time I was ever throttled was when I had used a little over 8GB of data with a week left in my billing cycle. I've heard of people getting throttled for less though.

That's part of the fun of rooting... the learning process, understanding how things work and what your doing. These phones are released locked with security flags and whatnot for a reason. You've got countless noobs who can't even understand why a ROM designed for a phone won't work on a phone with completely different hardware. Making things easier is the problem. If anything I think devs should stop dumbing things down. I agree things should be easy to run and use and work as it should when you're stock but if you make the choice to mess with your software it's up to you to diagnose and fix any bugs that may arise.
I wanna be a doctor so I started cutting people open but then realized man this **** is hard! D: They should make it easier!

If you want to narrow the cause down, the first thing I would do is RUU to stock (make sure you're S-OFF first) and test speeds. Then you'll know it's either the phone(hardware) or the network. And you can call/visit your carrier to find the cause between the two. If it works fine after RUUing, you know it's something you flashed and can work from there or stay stock if you so decide.

20 down and 9 up are good LTE speeds. What exactly are you expecting? That speed is faster than the most people's home internet. Sure it's not the best I've seen but no where near being throttled. That is a good bit faster than all of my friends that use Verizon LTE. When you are throttled it is basically unusable. I had slower than edge speeds when being throttled.
Some kernels you have to flash in recovery and the boot.img for them to work because they load modules and stuff in recovery that just flashing the boot.img doesn't do. I suggest doing the method to get s-off. It's very simple and makes everything much easier.

[Q] Excessive data usage on Verion

hey guys. i seem to have a problem with my verizon data usage on my ultra. it seems like in the last couple months, i have been using data faster than i normally do. i have a 2 gig data plan, and i keep track of my usage closely because thats all i have to work with and i dont want to get any overage fees. i usually use data for basic browsing, social media, and some streaming music. this weekend, i was streaming some radio. i used almost 1 gig of data in one hour of streaming. before, i was able to stream over 4 hours of radio and never came close to using 1 gig. i would usually use less than .5 gigs while streaming. i have now used up all of my data in about 1.5 weeks where it would normally take me all 4 weeks. it seems like they are charging me for more data than i am actually using. i have done some research and it seems like im not the only one with the problem. i think they are doing it to either get money from overage fees or to free up their network to keep the speeds up. i have a feeling its a combination of both. is anyone else on here having a similar problem?

I am still unlimited, so I never worry about that.
Have you taken any app updates or installed new apps that would possibly use data? Maybe system updates? I believe the system updates for this phone are around 850-900 MB

Going into Settings > Data Usage; what is eating your data there?

i have not installed any new apps that would be using my data. all of my apps just updated, but they were over wifi. i have it set to only update over wifi. i have had no system updates because ive been on 4.4.4 for a few months. it shows tunein radio used .94gb, youtube at 274mb, facebook with 144mb. i was using tune in radio for about an hour and used close to 1gb. i have never used that much in such a short time period. i am seriously considering switching carriers because my contract is up and i dont want two more years of this crap.

I can use a t-mobile card in a verizon phone?
Also I went to the verizon store to see what they would say. They said being in a lte/xlte area will eat data faster. To met that just doesn't sound right. I've used date in lte areas and have never used that much data at once. I still think there is something else going on here.

Rule #1) Verizon reps have way less knowledge than you. They are nearly brain dead when it comes to actually providing support for their phones.
Yes you can pop in a nano T-Mobile sim prepaid or postpaid, set the phone to global, and off you go.

Well that would be all good if I had tmo service. The only reason I have verizon is that they r the only one with service in my area

Check the tune in settings, maybe an app update defaulted the app to high quality streaming, when before you were on mid/low quality

I already checked for that and I did not see an option for stream quality.

ok, i did some more digging. i found that the stream in was using had a bitrate of 64kbps. over and hour this translates to .003gb or 26mb. its says in my data usage that tunein radio used .94gb which at a 64kbps rate would be over 300 hours of radio. something is definitely not right but i don't know what.

last idea... is your billing cycle window set appropriately in the data use section of the phone? If you check on myverizon web portal does it also reflect the same data numbers?

Ya, the billing cycle window is set right. I don't know who to blame here, verizon or tunein radio? Maybe it's just a fluke this month and maybe would be better next month.

but i take it you are relying strictly on what the phone is telling you... Did you verify the phone was counting right by checking on the My Account section on vzw website? If the VZW site reflects the same thing as your phone, I would at least then be able to say with some certain confidence tunein could be the culprit.
If you get a different reading from VWZ's site, then there most likely was some kind of bug/glitch in the data use app on the phone.

My verizon account says the same thing. I still don't think it's the radio app. It's either something with verizon or possibly the phone might be eating more data than it needs, but I don't think it's the app. I will know if it's the phone or not when I upgrade to a note 4 in a couple weeks.

Are you sure you exited out of your radio app? I know I have left a stream playing before when I thought I closed it.

If you love the note series, then go for the note 5..and it's definitely upgrade coming from your note 2. .I my self was going to get the edge plus. .but saw reviews that sometimes while holding the phone,the side of your hand touches the edge part. ..and we'll the added perk for note is the s pen. ..you can get the edge people and edge recent tabs from the playstore for your note 5..here's a sample

I wonder if you can stack this promotional data on top of the 2gb promotional data for 3 months that was offered with the go90 app?

Your welcome happy thanksgiving and enjoy your free gigs of data

Be careful if you are currently off contract and getting the $25 off contract discount. I was and after downloading go90 they charged my line $40 as if I was on contract. The girl at the Verizon store said that the line would be considered on contract for the duration of the promotion but was nice enough to give me a $75 discount cause why the f*** would you try to low blow your customers verizon???

That's crazy to offer something and try to make you pay for it.
