How To Stop Verizon From Throttling Your Phone

[cthebadge38]

There is a throttle reset day line but its value is rewritten after each reboot... Also there are throttle files somewhere that regenerate every reboot, you can't do anything with either part...
The throttle files are in /data/system/throttle

This is true. The file will come back again...unless you edit the permissions of the "throttle" folder and uncheck "write". I used that hack months ago and it never came back once i reset the permissions.

No luck. Rebooted and nothing. Rebooted into recovery and fixed permissions and still nothing. It still runs and there are no problems that I can see yet, just would like to have it back just in case. Guess it'll come back when I sbf back to 902 to get the ota 905. Thanks.

Doing this mod doesn't affect the screen u have edited something u shouldn't have

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.

Now that I've upgraded to ICS on the Bionic with the leak, I can't modify this database: it says it's locked Code 5. ANy ideas?

 

[Jumpie]

This database is locked on ICS. I tried every which way. Nothing. No MD5 either.

 

[chuck54]

Yeah I noticed that on axiomcs..... but I don't see the 16 or 18 lines ..... but some lines are locked

The only solution I found was to do it through adb from your comp (where you aren't conflicting with internal db locks).

Make sure you have root (look in other threads for how to do that)

Make sure sqlite3 is on your path on your comp, otherwise get the android sdk from somewhere and install it

Get adbWireless from android market (I was having trouble reaching adb through USB after ICS)

Connect phone to wifi, computer to wifi (or LAN)
Turn on adbWireless

adb connect (ip address that it gives you)
adb shell
su
chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
exit
exit (make sure you are back to your native laptop OS)

./adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite3 settings.db 
update secure set value = 1000000 where name = 'throttle_value_kbitsps';
update secure set value = 60 where name = 'throttle_polling_sec';
update secure set value = 1 where name = 'throttle_reset_day';
.quit
./adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

(Reboot your phone)

If you're having adb troubles on ICS, try to update your motorola usb drivers. I found similar issues as I was doing my ICS upgrades and that's what helped to fix it. I'm going to try to implement the change you recommended later today, hopefully I can get better speeds!

I was editing the values of lines 16 and 18 in settings.db back to default and accidentally changed line 17 to 600... I don't know what it originally was... could someone please give me the value for that line? It is "throttle_threshold_bytes".

It is 0

 

[jcwilliams]

Idk if this has been asked or not. But I'm on ics leak and this hack tells me that the database is locked...

 

[metsfan67]

Believe it or not, i am a long time Android and iOS user. I have tried this on my droid x, and this works well, but i was wondering if any of you knew how to do it on the iphone. Ive looked all over the internet and havent been to find anything. Thanks in advanced.

 

[josh1980]

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

Thanks!
