Unthrottle ability? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I'm sure it has been brought up or asked. But we are a combined forum now. A bigger think tank. Anybody know what it would take to remove the carriers ability to throttle us?
Thoughts?
Comments?
Questions?

I believe there is no way, at least there wasn't on GS2 that I recall

When I look through root exporter I see a throttle file under data system throttle. Any ideas?

this has not been possible for the past few generations of Galaxy phones. The files are pushed from t-mobile servers now, so they can't be modded or deleted.
Get a good wifi linking app and utilize as much open wifi as you can and don't waist bandwidth uploading or downloading massive amounts of data when off of wifi when possible.

Carrier Coverage

So not sure if this has been discussed previously but it would definitely help back up the need for improvement in the antenna or network. This app basically pings the cellphone towers for data and reports it, you can read more on the link below.

Could somebody post this question on the app home page, I don't wanna sign up for yet another site lol...
Will the fact that I'm using a US Cellular PRL on a Spring phone screw with the results?

nice app thanks bro
just so you guys know this app is collecting our IMEI and ESNs (unique device id) i just started a thread on their forum asking them why.
edit: they changed the app so they no longer store our IMEI or ESN and added some security to the app. i am impressed by their response and just installed the app.
I figure both to distinguish what device and what network

Good info.
Also, be prepared for your battery life to decrease. These apps/services have been around for a while, and most users complaints are that the apps constantly running in the background kills their battery because it doesn't allow the phone to sleep properly.
So is this app basically like Sensorly?

Well battery is debatable given you adjust the interval.

I used qpst to change my carrier banner and it screws it up that's what the app uses to find what carrier u are on

Slow Data

Anyone else experiencing this? I live in Maui, so i obviously don't have LTE. I have an unlimited data plan in which only 250 megabytes have been consumed. I will be at the store and have 4 or 5 bars and it takes forever to load a simple web page.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

please help!

I've been looking for weeks now asked every forum I know and no one can seem to help me? All I want is to know how I can get the stock hotspot app to work on my Verizon gs3! Most likely using the sqlite editor app. Please help me out I'm losing hope!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
What do you mean stock hotspot app? Doesnt verizon come with its own?
Yes but there is a way to remove the entitlement check so I can use it with out paying more dang money to Verizon

What's wrong with rooting (it's simple enough on SG3) and then using an app like Wifi tether?
Foxfi works well no root and it's free in the market

1) Rooting i not for everyone...
2) They may be like me and waiting for the bugs to be irons out. (Maybe its perfect but I am personally in no rush.)
I do think there are some apps on the play store that allow you to tether without the standard carrier one correct? I thought I was reading that some where...Again I could be wrong! (They may only work VIA USB though.)
get widgetoids from app store and create a hot spot shortcut. It will turn on the stock app without having to pay.

I am on Verizon.... And my pictures I'm recieving are all 30kb. I even tried pushing the messaging apk from codis and trying that..... Still horrible quality.... I don't understand. I have tried changing the mms maximum size to 500k 1m 1500k and 5m. No luck.

I am also getting four people to send me pictures. One is a gs3 on at&t, one on Verizon, and iPhone on Verizon, and dx2 on Verizon. I'm getting 12kb pictures from the dx2

Just sent a picture from an iPhone on Verizon to my phone and its 350 kb.
I know cyanogen mods messaging app has horrible compression, and has had it for a while, but they refuse to acknowledge it. Does anyone texting you happen to use that?

My girl uses a gs3 on touchwiz but it has the aosp mms. That probably explains that.... But what about the iPhone?

Modal dialog insanity.

I love my Note 2. I would love it even more if I didn't see a modal popup every gps, every mobile data, every maps exit and others. Verizon or stock 4.1.1 issue? Solutions? Mod?

I know that my ROM no longer says anything about GPS, not sure about Mobile Data. Either way, why are you toggling them all the time? I leave GPS on all the time, data is always active unless in airplane mode, and I can still get through a day easily (usually 2+ days) without charging. Also, WTF is "Modal"? You usually get more help with proper spelling and without replying to yourself several times.
