Tips/Tricks to prevent connect to attwifi?

Any tips/tricks to preventing connection to attwifi without turning wifi off? It's speed is horrible in most places, and would just rather stay hspa+/LTE.
I've tried deleting WISPr_Android22_postpaid.apk in /system/app, yet it still seems to connect. Is it going to connect whether we like it or not because it's in our data plans?

There's a check box in Advanced wireless settings to turn that off.

[Q] note 2 wifi issue on at&t

i just bought the galaxy note 2.. love the phone' however i cant stay connected to my wifi for some reason it connects them a minute later goes back into 4g mode please help...
I thought it was the phone so replaced it... same issue how ever it will connect to att hotspots.. go figure thanks

I'd say check your router first. Mine at home is a pain sometimes with my sons' ipod touches plus desktop plus netbook plus tablet plus my phone sometimes it drops. We end up turning it off for a few seconds which fixes it. Overload I guess?
There is also a known issue with the att wifi app. I forget what is called because i got rid of it a long time ago but it seems to be a culprit in some cases a well. You could find it if you search the forums I'm sure.

Had a similar issue... dropping of wifi radio... the workaround when using the ATT wifi manager was to go into the phone's wifi menu and disable power saving... *#0011# select menu... then wifi submenu.
Or.. just freeze or remove the ATT wifi app and use Smart WiFi Toggler from Google Market... works well!

Disable att smart wifi. That works for me.

Definitely a router issue. I use WPA2 PSK with DHCP and I haven't had any issues. I have had problems in the past using WEP with my phones. Once I changed to WPA it was fine. Maybe try that.

Thank you, this worked, I think removing the latest update for AT&T smartwifi did it for me, whatever I now have wifi again.
I'll take a look at Smart Wifi Toggler

[Q] Will I Get Charged From (Wifi Tether)?

I just Rooted my Brand New LG Optimus G.
I also just installed the (Wifi Tether) app from the Play Store. I was wondering if I would be charged for using this application to tether.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Oh! I was also wondering if there were any custom ROMS available for the LG Optimus G. (Sprint)
If (Wifi Tether) won't work. What will work to not get charged?
If (Wifi Tether) works, are there certain settings I should put in? If so, what are they?

No, you will not be charged by Sprint for using the Wifi Tether app.
There are no Custom ROMS at this moment but the devs are currently working on making some in the near future

Generic ICS/JB wlan0 ...settings in WiFi tether that'll work.

Does that actually work? I had tried that the other day and even if I am able to get the connection to show is running, I can't get any device to see the signal. Once I was able to get my laptop to see the connection but when I tried connecting it went nowhere.

I get a Bluetooth hot spot without any root. Works great. Foxfi works fine.

Yes, it does work. I am using Wifi Tether (the one with the yellow icon) and have no problem connecting tablet or laptop to my phone, data works as well. Check the setting and make sure you are broadcasting the ssid

Wifi Hotspot not working

Does anyone else have problems with Hotspot not working?
Enabling it, makes the data connection jump of for a couple of seconds, then comes back on but the Hotspot does not enable, just says "turning on" and the data connection doesn't work either until a reboot.

Note Edge + HD Calling + Network Extender = HELP!

I have a NE (network extender) in my home because I have terrible signal in and around my home. I'm aware that in order for my Note edge to connect to the NE, HD Calling must be turned off as the NE does not yet support 4G. What I've noticed when I'm NOT at home is when I make a call without the HD on, the phone immediately switches to a 1x signal for making calls. This is ridiculous. I miss my note 3 more and more everyday since I got this phone.
The note 3 makes calls just fine while keeping 4G AND connects to my NE just fine without my changing anything in the phone.
My question is, am I going to be stuck turning my HD calling off at home and back on everytime I leave my home? Is my smart phone not smart enough to do this by itself?
