At&t is restricting on lte

Hi I had a smartphone personal unlimited that it had no restrictions to any sites. Now when I got the skyrocket they switch me to

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And now it restricts me lots of sites and even on the market some apps.
I return the phone because of this crap and after 8 years with at&t I canceled my service.
Check your account plan see if they change anything and check sites on the web like streaming sites.
It doesn't let me stream like from justintv on lte but when I switch to wifi I have no problem.

well on my iphone i was using an unlimited plan for $30mon, with this vivid, im charged $30mon for unlimited. im not really understanding the difference here. im hoping its not something obvious but as far as i can tell, its the same service except i have 4g
edit
i think i get it, its restricting data intensive apps. well tbh, im glad they do that. imagine everyone doing data intensive apps on the network... it will make it slow and might even crash it. when i go to the local theme park, no one can hardly use the internet on there phones cause its so slow that many times it will just time out. so many people are using there phones while theyre waiting in lines that the cell tower cant handle it all.

There is no difference for me.

Good, now people can't hog so much data, it won't kill the network.
In all honesty, all you probably have to do is root the phone, and kill some background app, and you'll have full functionality again.

are these issues only happening to those with the grandfathered data plan? is there anyone here that lives in an LTE area with a tiered plan that are having similar issues with certain webpages and apps hanging or not working?

I am not on any kind of grandfathered plans. On Premier it shows DataPro 2GB Personal for 4G LTE Smartphones

I thought maybe if being on the enterprise data plan might remove the blocking and changed to the 4GB Enterprise Data. But still being blocked.

Well first I am Glad they are limiting things as stated before it will keep network intensive stuff down which should in turn make the network in general function better. Also if I recall correctly on a different device there where apps that were blocked from being installed over 3g but once root was achieved it was bypassed so I wouldn't worry about it too horribly much considering I think the change was in the software.

Yes and tomorrow they going to restrict phone calls too? This is a free country man I pay 30 and I want full access.

And you want a lovely nice bottle neck with that too right? Considering if they allow Large files to go down they will Bottle Neck considering the network they have is still shoddy I mean hell look at what happened when the 1st iPhones were released and Everyone was downloading stuff almost immediately...Network Crashed. So Either it's yay have unlimited and watch the network crash because it got too congested and Not be able to use your Data At All or deal with the slight restrictions and go home or to a Wi-Fi area which there are plenty of and Download the stuff there.
But as I stated in the post prior I am guessing it is probably throttled some where in the software like previous phones have been and it is just a matter of rooting and finding the code and changing it.

If you use a different browser such as opera mobile justin/twitch tv work fine...

Works just fine on the Dolphin Broswer.
As for limiting, this also says it on 3g, however my corporate exchange and intranet sites work just fine. I have yet to have anything blocked except the same things many people do like block file size for an app that wants you to use WIFI.

i've had no problems so far...a few hickups while video chattin..but otherrwise im enjoyin my $30.00 unlimited plan.

I have had the Family Unlimited Data Plan for years, Since the Blue Angel, then Apache.
My Data is $30/Mo. Unlimited for all my lines with throttling to faux-g (as I cleverly heard it put) starting after 10Gb of Data.
Your plan was not a Smartphone data plan it seems to me. Looks like you reaped the benefits of it for some time, time to pay the piper.

T-Mobile Employee discounts?

I was just curious of what discounts and perks the employees receive.
Thanks everyone!

I remember talking to one of the guys at a T-Mobile store a while back and I think he said that you get to buy a phone at the upgrade price every 6 months or something. I don't quite remember though, I may be Wrong.

Word to the wise, don't advertise much you're a tmo employee here or other blog sites, they don't like it, it's how I lost my job (last year, I have a much better one now)
But, since you asked, if you were hired direct to the company (not sine 3rd party wireless affiliate), last I checked, it was 2000 minutes, unlimited text for $10, unlimited data is an extra $5.
You get a 40% discount on the wholesale price of the device of your liking, but only for the first 2 lines. All additional lines are full price. You can have up to 6 lines (last I was there) with the criteria I listed above.
After 2 years, your 3rd and 4th year discount increase to 65%, and 5th year and higher, any device you want is free (but you have to pay outrageous taxes on the hardware)
They're a good company to work for, so long as you're in a position you like, and while they remain around).

What's your average monthly data usage?

I just wanted to start a poll on the average monthly data usage of xda members using the galaxy note. If your on a tiered data plan, what's your cap? Include your wifi data usage as well. I use 3g watchdog app and it provides wifi as well as billable data usage (for those wondering how to figure out wifi data usage).
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app

I managed to limit my usese below 6GB.
Remember it's on 2G network. 3G and WIFI NOT available here.

Depends how much time I spend at work as if at home I use my WiFi but roughly 5-10GB of data a month, also depends how many new ROMs come out too.
Have had a lot of time off from work this month so only 2.2GB used.
Got to love 'all-you-can-eat' data!

Normally lower but found twitchtv app and watching d3 streams, plus 3-4 hard resets but no brick

I am still on grandfathered unlimited, but AT&T throttles you at 3GB. I have hit 3GB once or twice before because I get text messages saying "you are getting close", but they never send another one saying they are actually going to throttle. So, I guess its just automatic. It sucks either way.

I have like another week or two left in my current Billing cycle and the screen shot shows my current data usage for this month. I have wifi at home and at work so I don't use too much of my monthly 3gb data plan.

Sent from my GT-N7000

Around 400 MB a month. I'm on a prepaid plan with 300 MB included so I have to pay for the additional 100 MB. I don't use multimedia until there is wifi available so it's not that hard for me to stay just under the above mentioned limit.
Sent from my Galaxy Note running ICS

Normally around 700MB I have a contract that includes 1GB but have never reached it, mainly because most places I go I use wifi (wifi usage is likely about 4GB if not more)

Hi,
Around 2Go each month.
Fair use limit of my provider is 3Go (above 3Go, bandwidth can be limited).

I've got unlimited data, but I only use ~550mb a month, because I live and work in a wifi zone. Increasing numbers of bars near me are offering free wifi too.

Well under 500 mb data on 3G and wifi is unlimited everywhere I go.

Usually around 2-4GB on H+, on wifi I use 40-50GB as I stream a load of video.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Usually only a couple hundred megs. I'm on wifi at work and home. Usually driving when I'm not.

Have the note for about three weeks now. Am on a pretty restrictive 100MB/month plan.
Managed to only use 75MB of that so far. 18,5 of those from the one time I dared use google maps navigation, 13,5 from when I downloaded two apps after forgetting to enable wifi.
So it seems like I can actually make do with that. 9GB of wifi traffic in the same timespan, though, half of which have been Kies air file transfers. Using wifi at home, work, and most any other places I can get away with doing so.

No unlimited dataplans here for me. I have a 1.6 GB limit, which is one of the biggest available in Holland. (2gb is max).
I only use 400 till 600mb a month on 3G.

Free Nexus 7 with Google Fiber!!!

Google Fiber
If you get internet plus TV for $120 per month, you get a free N7 for the remote. With a 2 year contract.
Only catch seems to be moving to Kansas City.
And according to this article, the general public got the N7 a week after the I/O. Someone didn't really check his facts.
At any rate, I hope google fiber works out in KC.

I'm in KC.. and I sure wish the coverage maps were looking a bit better. Or I hope they plan to expand. I currently know no one that lives in the covered area.
Imagine being a mile or two from where the cutoff is currently. If I never get it because of that 2 miles. ugh
I will move but I won't be happy about it. lol
Essentially the plan is TV and Internet, for 120 a month. If you sign a 2 year agreement they waive the 300 install fee.
Your remote control is a Nexus 7 tablet. You can watch on 8 different tv's. 500hour dvr, and 1tb cloud storage.
This is going to put Comcast and Time Warner along with all the others when it goes to other cities out of business. I'm all for it.

I wish this were in Chicago, I'd be all over it lol

Bring it on down to Dallas, someplace that's actually a tech town (or used to be)! -Ara

The other thing that I think is cool about this is, think of all those households that are iPad and iphone only. Simply because they don't know any better. They're all going to have an android tablet now. The more they use it, surely the more they'll like it.
This could be huge as far as the android vs. ios battle goes.

Google Fiber will never come to Canada. If Google tries Rogers, Bell, Telus, Shaw would go running to the CRTC and block it. Just look how much trouble Wind had when it opened up in Canada, I know its a different industry but its pretty much governed the same way. :crying:

Call me crazy, but I would take the 7 year free internet (for the one-time $300 installation fee). Save $5580 over 7 years, buy Nexus 7 on your own.
Or maybe the 1Gbps would be too tempting, idk.

I think something got lost in translation on that. A 300 year plan is not something investors want to hear. At least not American investors. That's a lot of time for something to go wrong or to fail to turn a profit.

I am a Sprint customer. Their service sucks sometimes but the price keeps me with them. If the competition would offer comparable plans at even only slightly above Sprint's rates I would make the switch. I don't think they have another 300 years in them, especially without an American company at the helm.

Sprint and softbank. Interesting...

Well I thought the same thing, but then i realized that I would rather pay the outrageous price and have ridiculously fast 4G LTE EVERYWHERE!!... unfortunately I am still with sprint

Sprint is alright in my books where I live (after I got the airave the only place left without strong service in my city is covered), but I want 4G everywhere I go, and faster and more 3G, and better phones (not their fault). If softbank keeps most of the prices/plans/contracts the same, and just boosts mobile data speeds and coverage I cant wait for Sprint to be bought out!

Yeah I agree, I hope soft bank improves the network and I think they should transform it into a GSM Network...id love that
