I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 X and I'm on 4.0.3 and certain apps like Poynt/Palmary Weather and some others cause my wifi to just drop and go to 4G, this never happened when I had my Incredible S?
My palmary works fine. Doesn't mess up the connection
I think i figured it out, when i did some internet searches it says that apartments that are heavy concrete or lots of metal plus phones plugged in too close to wireless modems can cause it so hopefully that's my issue?

Hello xda sorry for the n00b question and I'm not sure if there was a thread about this but I tried looking but no luck, I browse xda all the time but I just registered now to hopefully find some help.
So I just used GNex TOOLKIT V5.3 and did numbers 1,2,3 then skipped to #7 and then did #8 to get yakju.
Now everything was successful and I got my apps back and my phone could still call and text. I was using my wifi the whole time pretty much so I didn't notice my data or internet on my phone was lost till later.
Did I just screw my self over? I'm on the GSM version Galaxy nexus now on 4.0.2 if that is any help.
I would start by checking your apn settings...

go to the screen where it list all the APN's then hit menu and reset them then go to the dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* then tap phone info then scroll to the bottom and preferred network type to WCDMA preferred then hit menu and select radio band and then select the corresponding band for your country

WCDMA is usually what GSM carriers use for 3G at least AT&T does its not real CDMA though

My wife is with Verizon and theirs works the same way. She's always like, why won't it just stay in 4g? Different beast than WiMax (not that that wouldn't drop out like a trap door sometimes.)

Yes, you can do this in the hidden Data Programming menu launched from the stock TouchWiz dialer. You will need to know your MSL code:
In the Dialer enter ##DATA#
On the Data Programming screen select Edit
Enter your MSL
Tap OK
Select Others
Select HDR/1X Selection
Select "LTE Only Mode"
Tap OK
There is a major downside to this: You will no longer have voice or text service, only LTE data service (where available).

Edit: it's been too long since I've been on a stock ROM.
That doesn't help on AT&T based ROMs. That option would be removed

Your situation is exactly why AT&T is effing idiotic for removing the ability to disable LTE.

I'm on custom ROM and below procedure worked on mine (though I'm on LTE 100% of time).
I copied from some thread some time back
-----------
From the phone dialer enter: *#197328640#
Umts -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Lock -> RAT_FREE_SUPPORITNG ON <- once you choose this option it will say "Now RAT Free Supporting" - this will allow you to change bands freely (no need to pull the SIM card) until your next reboot.
You can save *#197328640# in your contacts. I wasn't able to call the contact directly but from the dialer you can dial *#1 and it will pop up as a suggestion - you press that and it launches automatically. You can then go to Umts -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control <- this leads you to the screen you'd find in my original method with *#2263#
From here you can freely swap to whichever band you prefer and it will connect without a reboot required!
Note: After disabling RAT restrictions you can hit the menu button and choose back, twice. You'll then be at the menu list that includes "Network Control" aka *#2263# which is a little faster.

No. I tried on several myself just to verify (CM, AOKP, and a couple of others). It does work on AT&T stock ROM for certain though. It is the only thing that really keeps me from moving away completely from stock ROMS and/or other TW variants.

I was reading on another post which talked about the Note 2 and when I come to that menu.. I got this "RAT FREE SUPPORTING on" as option 4 while the other post said it should say.. "[4] NW LOCK NV Data INNITIALLIZ"....
What have I done wrong??
Mine is a AT&T i317 Note 2, but shouldn't this menu be identical for all variance?
Hope you can advise.
Thanks.
Im with Bell and I dont have the "RAT_FREE_SUPPORITNG ON" option. Any alternative ?
Thanks.

Settings -> more -> Mobile Network -> Network Mode.
That works only on AOSP ROMs, not TW.

Ok. Are you using the AT&T version of the SGS3? What settings are you doing manually and they are not sticking? Do you mean it does not change at all, switches automatically after certain amount of time, or resets after reboot or airplane mode? There is not an app that I know of that does this directly. Most are more or less shortcuts to your "mobile networks" in settings and the Test menu found under USSD "*#*#4636#*#*". I have not found one that works the way you mention for myself (regardless of which phone I use) unless it is baked into the ROM.
Copied from some post here n backed up on my drop box. This should work on TW ROMs.

Guys:
New poster on the forums but long-time lurker...
Anyway, I'm not sure if any of you guys noticed but when you pull down the quick settings menu on the SGH-M919 it only lists 18 buttons instead of the 20 normally found on the GT-i9505. The two buttons missing are "Mobile data" and "Wi-Fi hotspot". I can understand why Wi-Fi hotspot is not included because T-Mobile included their own version of the app in the carrier bloatware. However, it doesn't make sense for them to delete the "Mobile data" toggle.
Any way that we can recover that functionality and add that toggle back into the quick settings menu?
Thanks.
Exactly! Where's "Mobile Data" ?
Thanks

Go to : Settings>more networks>mobile networks
There you can turn data off and on.
Unfortunately there there is no data toggle for it.
May be we will get with some roms .

I don't have my S4 yet so I can't tell you for certain, but CyanogenMod should have this as well.
I figured out how to add it to stock rooted. Heres my thread.
