Heya Folks,
I followed the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...43&postcount=1 and applied them to the services.jar from the latest build of MIUI.
See the attached flashable .zip file. I strongly suggest making a nandroid backup due to this being my first attempt at doing this. It booted just fine on my device.
Let me know if it works!

I think a bit of clarity is needed here. This mod will only stop Verizon from slowing down your data speeds.
It will NOT help you avoid overage charges.
For example let's say you're on a 250mb a month plan. This mod only ensures that you will get 250mb at unrestrcited speeds. Going over 250mb will still result in an overage charge.
Also, the reason people keep referring to 5gb on their "unlimited" plan is because Verizon starts to throttle data speeds after 5gb of data. That doesn't mean you get charged more, Verizon just slows you down. This mod will prevent that, and only that.
I hope that clears things up.

Heya,
Only way to test would be to run a speedtest.net over your 3g connection before and after flashing. My 3G sucks here so I can't really test it. I followed it step by step going off of the instructions however.
Just curious if anyone tested this? I know the zip works just curious if anyone has played around with it. My 3g sucks where I live so I feel it isn't an accurate test here

I don't think you will notice a difference, I thought this mod pretty disabled throttling after you use 5GB of data in a month

Can't speak for the MIUI, but SR 3.5 showed significant improvements.
Guess it doesn't hurt to give it a shot.
So can this be flashed to any rom? I have a droid x and I am using the Liberty rom.
No, it is ROM specific.
I tried this patch on 1.1.7 N1 services.jar and got a FC in settings>system>Mobile Network settings. Does a similar thing happen on 12.24 Dinc?
No, this particular thread only worked for 12.24 for the incredible...

No, because there is no difference and flashing this on any rom does nothing but break your one settings menu as mentioned.
As has been previously stated this feature is not actively used by verizon, if it was used you would see a notification icon in regards to it when it is enabled as that is part of the code.
This feature was built by google as an option for carriers should a large majority of customers use android devices, but the bottom line is if vzw wants to throttle your data they do it at the account/network level. Not on your device. Any improvement people report from making this change is a complete placebo / fluke or just a fluctuation in their signal quality / network congestion at the time.
All cred to hardcore, the man!

All hail hardcore!
Good times, thanks for this. I remember seeing something about it but could never find the thread.
How did this never get posted before lol? November is a long time for us to not realize a cross-platform item.

I know, right?
I don't upload and don't download much either; I'd leave it on Edge if I didn't want to be able to talk and use data, so this is just what I needed.
Awesome link!!!! Thanks! Much better battery life now!
Sent from my phone
Wow this is great! My DL and UL speeds with 3G are almost the exact same or close to the speeds of HSPA, with less battery drain!! Awesome. 3G is just strong in my area, waaaaaay better signal. Thanks again.
Looking at how my phone changes from "H" to "3G", it seems to do it intelligently. When nothing that requires data is done on the phone, such as scrolling through homescreens or being in your app drawer, 3G is used. When data is needed, such as loading web pages or downloading "H" is used. With this auto switching, it seems like the phone does try to optimize battery life between HSPA and 3G so I don't think this fix is really that necessary.
The only thing I noticed is that is when using gTalk, it switches between HSPA and 3G depending on if a message is being sent or if the phone is stationary. If I send a message, "H" comes on and when I don't, it's "3G". If changing between HSPA and 3G does drain battery, then this could be a source of battery drain if you send small messages quickly (how one would chat) back and forth.
Can anyone chime if it consumes battery when it changes between 3G and H?
It doesn't consume more when switching, but HSPA consumes a lot more than 3G. I was previously running HSPA all the time and now just 3G. I did this trick yesterday and I am seeing very good results already.
Bumping this bcuz this is really a battery saver!!!!

Indeed. I'd remembered DG mentioning hspa as a big battery drainer. So when I stumbled on to this little app I was def interested
I am def getting much better battery with the HSPA.

Created a CWM zip with the Bell OTA GB radio and successfully flashed it.
if you use this feel free to let me know if it works for you.
Thanks to NFHimself as I believe it was his leaked radio zip (correct me if I am wrong as I can't find the thread I got it from) that I simply updated.

Just installed it over Alien ROM. Download speeds are comparable to .30P, upload speeds are a bit better. One noticeable improvement though is that it takes less time to achieve a data connection when the phone wakes up.
can this be flashed onto AT&T?

You can, but if you're on the ATT network and have an ATT phone, then you should probably stick with the ATT radio.
Why is that?

I believe it's because the ATT baseband version has been optimized to work with the ATT towers.
For sweets and giggles I flashed this on my phone running CM7 Pre Beta 4 on AT&T and I am getting .5mbps faster download and upload all around.
*NOTE*
Seeing as how we all live in different areas of the world everyone's results are going to differ tremendously. What works for me might be sweeter for someone else. So this is just a little word to the wise.
I am NOT telling anyone to flash this on their phone. I am simply saying IF you decide to flash it, you'll most likely get way different results than I did.
It's not my fault nor the guy who made this thread if you sweet your sweet up

I haven't done extensive testing but when I first flashed this the reception at home was MUCH improved. Never ran any speed tests to get numbers.
Here at work where signal is quite poor due to radio equipment my signal is also quite a lot better. Speed tests were great from a relatively dead zone in the office too. Awesome!

2 questions, how is your phone's temperature? Specially when playing games or been using the phone for long time or multi tasking?
and if I didn't want to use it after flashing it how can I undo it?
Thx

The temperature's been fine but I haven't been paying a close eye. If it were anything out of the ordinary I'd pick up on it though.
You can flash a different radio if this isn't working out. N_01.11.30P is fantastic as well, but I think this may edge it out. If I'm not mistaken it sounds like the voice quality of calls have improved by quite a bit.

I just flashed this radio after i posted my question. Reception was never an issue for me anyways, so don't know if it has changed. I played HD game for a bit and same result as others, my phone's temp went up to 40 C in less than 10 minutes. I have not seen any radio which can fix this stupid heating problem. With Stock Froyo, never had to worry about temperature issue at all, ever since I have flashed different ROMS and kernels and radios, I haven't found any which is as good as the stock bell froyo.
Voice quality seems clearer and download speed seems a lil higher though.
I just got off the phone with my wife and this call quality has definite, definitely improved.
I talked to her at work in a relative dead zone and the call was quite clear as well. Thanks for sharing this radio!!
I put this on my Thrill and it's pretty smooth, you can check out all the enhancements on the page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264023
You can't get 4g until the thrill radio gets pulled but, other than that everything is working great. The 3D button is the same except you now have to hold it down! What an improvement since we haven't gotten it to actually take pictures, no more accidental presses because you have to hold it down now.
Has new transition animations it is basically stock with a few enhancements the transitions are nice and smooth no lag. Cool boot animation, android for battery gauge with percent! Even has a different kernel. Just look at the page. No OC but doesn't matter, it's quick, it hasn't bogged on me yet. Installing apps takes literally half the time.
Just wanted to confirm another rom that is working very well. Try at your own risk of course...
I forgot to mention that wifi tethering works out of the box also.

Nice man thanks for posting this. I might give it a try. Just because I love flashing new ROMs lol. Nice feature to have the tethering out of the gate. I am getting 4G with gtg's Thriller as well and it is nice for sure. Thanks again for starting this thread people really seem to be getting into this phone now.
There is one problem. You can change the ringtone but it will always play the default. Im sure there will be a fix soon. Other than that no one is reporting bugs and all say it is snappy.
Ok it looks like they give you a lot more options in the menus. You can search for carriers and when i did i ended up getting 4g..... dont ask me wtf but ill post screens later
Ringtone problem taken care of and im getting 4-5 Mbps when i was normally getting 1-2 Mbps will post a screenshot of my results page if need be. So I believe I am getting 4g or it has just improved the speed that much which doesnt matter either way. Anyone else trying this one out?
Anybody had any luck using this rom and getting mms to work? Tried messing w apn. This rom and the king 3d are nice, but no mms. Ideas?
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
I was thinking if you took the mms.apk from the thriller rom and put it in the thaiz rom and set apn maybe that would work?
Also when I tried to take video phone would freeze for a sec and not save vid or camera would just crash.

I was really excited about getting gingerbread. My phone has been flying and I figure it would be that much faster with the update. Well, not the case for me...the phone feels sluggish and slow. I have not been getting errors but slow. For example I have the weather widget, calender widget, and a couple of contact shortcuts on the main screen. When I open the web browser and hit the home key the phone takes a while and then the widgets (weather and calender) take a while to load. And this is just one thing. I tried taking the battery out. I tried clearing out the cache from everything. And killing extra items from running but still no go. I'm starting to miss froyo
How's your experience with the upgrade so far?

GB thoughts
Went from stock GB to GV 1.1.
Fantastic radio and data 25+ with Houston server/4G
Not one random reboot or crash
Not one update failed issue
Faster batt charge cycle and better life
Got rid of rare unresponsive screen input issue by installing widgetlocker app and by using SPB shell as launcher
GPS and BT much improved over Froyo
Excellent work on GV1.1 ROM MT!
I was also getting the slow down. I rooted and flashed gv but it still happens from time to time. Bt would also lose connection a couple of times during a conversation on a thirty minute drive. I'll be trying the supercharger next to see if that fixes things.

If you didn't do a data reset when upgrading, you should try that.
It sucks, I know, but download MyBackup Root ('tis free) and backup anything that's important; that'll make your life a lot easier. I'd encourage you to backup your apps and the app data separately, and then only restore apps you actually use, and only restore app data that you really need to have back. Resetting and then restoring everything exactly the way it was doesn't fix much, hehe.
MyBackup also lets you backup your SMS/MMS/Call Log/Contacts/some other stuff.
Immediately after the update, LGHome did nothing but force close. I did a factory reset to fix that. Now I have similar issues.
1. Battery life has gone down hill. I have everything off.
2. LGHome is slow. Started to use an alternative launcher which I do not really Fancy all that much. I actually like LGHome, but the scroll speeds have gone to crap.
3. I have tried the super charger thing but so far no difference at all.
4. I was hoping that GB would fix an issue with the email program and exchange. It did on my old phone, but nope. I still get a Password/ID error every time it checks for mail.
The great GB save seems more of a let down to me. My phone is slower, far more issues, and other than the fact that is says it is GB, it looks almost identical to v6 except a slight change in the apps drawer.
I am really thinking about rolling back to v6 with root.

Nothing against MT's work. He does a fantastic job. With this phone however I have not had great luck with ROMs and prefer to keep things stock for now. I do not want install a ROM over what may have been a bad flash. It would not be fair to him as I would comment negatively on his ROM unfairly when it was the base flash to begin with. Once I can get the v7 TOT and redo the phone entirely then I can verify my belief that the phone just did not take the update very well.
I am playing it safe for now and staying unrooted on GB. Once the zv7 TOT is out I'll feel better having that as a fallback.
I haven't had any other problems with GB other than the soft keys not lit after it boots up. Holding the phone up to a light source turns them right on.
I do miss all my apps which require root . . .

I wasn't on stock GB long enough to make a decision on good or bad...
I'm running GingerVolt 1.2 and while it's flying through things that had bogged it down previously...
it seems that the battery isn't charging as fast as it had been.
I'm building up to the 100% so I can calibrate the thing, which may remove the issue altogether, but it's moving at a snail's pace, as opposed to the jog it used to.
(I've had the thing charging for 4 hours and only moved up 20% in charge, where with zv4 I could have the thing nearly charged from the same usage.)
I doubt GB/GV was the cause, but I'm hoping it will clear up with the calibration.
So far, that's been my only complaint with the setup.
