How To Stop Verizon From Throttling Your Phone

[oDECREEx]

That is true but the phone has a throttle on its self so verizon can throttle you 2 ways from there end or by the phone

Verizon's throttling has noting to do with software on the phones. If your device is in the top 5% of a congested tower, you will be throttled ON THEIR END!

I am talking about the throttling by the phone not verizon apparently all 4G phones have a throttle built into them an has the throttle polling value u in it an if u go above that throttle polling the phone then throttles the connection by the throttle kibtsps value which is 300 kibtsps

I am not sure about the razr it should be somewhere in system storage >> secure but the lines are probably different

This is what I have without the hack

One thing, when I'm downloading an app from the Market, it's generally at 1Mb/sec. I see downloading like a funnel. If you have a big funnel with a wide neck you can fill the container faster. But if the water is just dripping in a huge funnel doesn't make a lot of difference.

In order to do this you will need SQlite Editor you can get it here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor and phone needs to be rooted if you are on 902 you can get that here: View attachment 47927

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

sargentmajord 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 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.

I opened sqlite, and both line 16 & 18 were set at 0. I left line 16 alone, & changed line 18 to 9999999999999 , but I'm not sure why it didn't have the original values that it was supposed to.

Unless you got the phone from someone else and they tried this and didn't rest it properly I wouldn't know why that would happen, but if it is working fine I wouldn't worry about it too much

No, I bought it the day it came out. It's working fine. The only thing I can think of was i did that other hack, deleting the files in the throttle folder in data/system with root explorer, maybe that changed the values.

Are you sure you edited the correct 'settings storage'? There are two and you need to edit the one with the gear wheel icon, not the one with the hammer and wrench.

Edit: Nevermind, in the other db, line 16 is blank and line 18 has text.
