How To Stop Verizon From Throttling Your Phone

[idk5]

I made an oopsy. I changed like 17. Can someone post what the default value is for line 17 (throttle_threshold_bytes)?

Thanks!

It is 0

So we can't hack the throttle on ICS? Definitively?

Its where Verizon can slow down/limit your data usage. Its been said that they don't throttle 4g but idk for sure.

I havnt found a way to do this on the ics leaks but if you do let me know...

So is it just me or what but my phone seems to be running real hot now that I did both of these hacks...and battery life is a lot worse.

Same here, battery is just a bit worse than before (it was already bad).

In order to do this you will need SQlite Editor you can get it here: https://market.android.com/details?i...ware.sqleditor and phone needs to be rooted if you are on 902 you can get that here: motofail.zip

Only do this if you are comfortable about messing with system files

idk5 and I have tried this on our Bionic and the Droid 4, the Droid 4 method it a little different, and should work on other phones too but may use different Lines.

1. open up SQlite and select Settings Storage (com.android.provides.settings)

2. Tap on settings.db

3. Tap on secure

4. Change the value of Line 16 throttle_polling_sec to 0

5. Change the value of Line 18 throttle_value_kbitsps to at least 9999999999999

the original values are just in case you need them

Line 16 throttle_polling_sec | 600

Line 18 throttle_value_kbitsps | 300

if you have any questions or need clarification feel free to ask me here or PM me i will help you the best I can.

Is there free way to do this?
