Is there a way for 3G to switch to 4G automatically? Yes, I know that 4G has to be turned on separately, but I know my old blackberry was capable of this, where you didn't have to turn the 4G toggle on, and wait for it to work. I wasn't using sprint at the time, but 4G is rare to me now, and I'd like my phone to switch to 4G on its own, without draining my battery and keeping it on. Is this possible? Or is this only with GSM phones? And can it be done with this phone? Details help, all post are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Sorry, wrong section.. If a mod see this, please move it... thanks...
You would probably be better off asking a mod to move this to the questions...and...answers...section.

As mentioned you're in the wrong section.
But.
Sprint Connections Optimizer is what you're looking for. Though most disable/remove it. For the answers to why it's what you're looking for and why people don't use it. Just do some searching.

Hey, I have a few questions.
1) if someone were to use the roam hack what does it do exactly?
2) can you go on another network like Verizon?
3) is it a bad idea to do something like this?
I'm just curious, and would also like to try roaming on Verizon because I feel they'd give better speed where I live. Any help is much appreciated..

there is a roam hack that forces roaming instead of bouncing back and forth.
it is a new phone.apk file.
i THINK it is Calkulin who has it.
check his ROM thread in the development section and ask him for it.
his ROM has it built in i believe.
i will say this is fooked my phone and i had to restore from a NAND backup, but he fixed it and got it working. but it is still flakey somewhat last i tried it.
You don't get unlimited stuff when roaming, right?
The ringer where it talks and tells whos calling? LOL I dont know where it is to turn on in the settings..
Any help lol
Its probaly right under my nose but forgot..
I think it's gone. I can't find it either. I use saymyname from the market. Very good app.
Oh sucks thanks for the suggestions
Sent from My Eb13 Modem, With old bonsai epic 4g.
Okay This has been an ongoing thing for me and others. Long story short I would like to have 4g/wimax implemented on my Epic Touch 4g. I have everything else working fine for my lovely phone.4g is the only thing missing.Now for those of those who are new to this topic or have questions this process has been done on the first epic. Either with launcher pro/activities/wimaxlinetest or with dialing *#147852# and accessing wimaxlinetest from there. Now with that also being said first step does not work on epic touch,when you go int eh ability to write epic mac address and save wimax mac id has been removed and that dialer code that I stated earlier does not work on Epic Touch.
Now for things that have been said already.
1."You cannot do it because phone has to be activated to sprint for 4G to be provision" Sprint 3g and 4g radios and provisioning work totally different.3g and 4g authentication works totally different. 3g talks to sprint,4g talks to clearwire.
As long as you have an active sprint account and you have a 4g device you can use same mac address on epic touch 2 that you have on boost.
2."You wont be able to use 4g because phone is not activated what so ever" Phone does not have to be activated to sprint or boost for 4g to work.Please dont tell me that it has to because I still have original 4g epic that is not activated and 4g data works just fine. I still can use youtube,gtalk,google voice,etc.AND AS I STATED EARLIER MY OG EPIC IS NOT ACTIVATED.
3."WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS ANYWAY" I think the better question would be why not. Its my device I payed for it so why not use it how I want to use it. And I know its hard to do but please refrain from filling thread with unnecessary talk about being cheap,why I want to do this,its illegal etc. Because to be honest its pretty much the same principle for rooting and getting the most out of your device.And last time I checked free hotspot and changing roms and things like that are frowned upon to SPRINT so please save it lol. But then again I cannot stop no one for posting on the thread so hey. But please keep it positive or for the most part im just going to ignore you anyway. All I am asking for is help,And I would greatly appreciated it.Bashing is really not going to get us nowhere and sorry if Im coming off a little standoffish,but a great guy who does alot with helping people tried what im trying now,only for the thread to talk about things that had nothing to do with the subject. He got frustrated and decided to delete the thread. Hopefully we can get it resolved this time.
THANK YOU
LETS GET STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!
okay.... don't everybody answer at once lol

Yes. 4G Boost action
Please message me about how you got that quad data to work. I am also on Boost Mobile with my Epic 4g Touch. I have already tweaked the 3G settings (minimal gain, if any) and have been through the "Full WiMax Settings" thread with no change. I can connect but the bits aren't flowing.
NOTE: If anyone needs help going from a Galaxy Prevail to their Epic Touch I can help.
i def need help

Not sure if I'm posting in the correct section.. but wanted to ask the experts if there is a ROM that will allow me to have the Hot Spot Feature with my business plan... but NOT effect the WIFI calling performance? It's an absolute must that I have a good consistent WIFI calling as I have ZERO reception at my home office!
Thank you for any advice or help!

I could be wrong, but as long as your flashing a touchwiz Rom, you should expect the same, ideally better, performance as stock.

alright guys the thread has been reported for movement. no one else needs to tell him that it's in the wrong section the mods know. as to the question all touchwiz roms that are official port such as wicked,frosty and such all have the wifi calling feature. As to the root method
this one is for JB http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426451
and this one is for ICS http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294522635
go to this thread it will explain how to do everything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687

its not intended just for you, it causes more clean up for mods as well and that's why they put the report option so the thread wouldnt be filled to the brim with comments about it being in the wrong section and Flaming the OP.
on another note have you flashed any of the roms yet?
Just got back to the house... I plan on flashing probably later this evening or tomorrow morning. Do you happen to know if there is any backup that literally mirrors your phone image? IE Text Messages etc?
One more question if you dont mind... I noticed on the way home I would pickup up Edge and "G" on my GS3... assuming this is AT&T.. the only way the phone was able to even see the signal is when I made some adjustments in the Roaming / register with the network settings. Is there any Rom or Flash that will allow the phone to work on the AT&T towers? I noticed I wasnt able to actually place a call on the network ... or at least not consistently when the phone saw almost full bar AT&T.
Thanks for the heads up!

well when roaming all roms intended for a t mobile version will switch to at&t towers but if you want to be constantly on att towers you would have to switch over to att.
also if your on jb right and root then just flash another jb rom touchwiz of course the settings will carry over msgs and such. same goes for ICS but if you wipe during the flashing process all of those settings will be lost. the way i do now is im on cm 10,1 and when ever a update comes out now i just press update no wiping is done during the process.

Thanks again for the advice.. I'm downloading the recommended link that you sent me for Root 66. Which Rom do you recommend for best all around performance & keeping stock touch wiz so as to not screw up the WIFI calling feature?
We have given our young daughters Galaxy S ll’s. Our cell provider is kajeet.com which has decent parental controls on phone usage including Internet access via the cell connection. But kajeet doesn’t affect the wifi connection. Hence, Internet access is available.
We would like to shut down the wifi and have the phones used only for texting and talk. The girls have other forms of (monitored) Internet access.
Does anyone have a solution for shutting down the wifi connection?
I have done quite a bit of research on the web for an answer and haven’t come up with anything that is largely within our control.
Thank you in advance for your help.

First up, what model phone are we talking about (sticker on the phone chassis under the battery) ? Reason I ask is, I noticed Kajeet uses Sprint, which means there's a good chance you're in the wrong forum. As the I9100 wasn't sold in great numbers in the US, various carriers have their own variants, which have their own forums here.
I honestly doubt you can do it (I'm not aware of any way to block access outright), you can probably use one of the myriad security apps on Google Play to block WiFi access to individual apps (I.E all of them). But that might be different for different SGS2 variants (being an I9100 forum, I only know this for the I9100).
If you do have a different variant, we'll have the thread moved & maybe those who have the same phone might be able to tell you something different.
Months ago on cm10.1 i had managed to completely disable wifi by accident on numerous occasions by flashing old versions of dorimanx kernels that update the wifi drivers, then flash stock cm kernel again that uses old drivers, couldn't turn wifi on or off until I reflashed cm, so it is indeed possible. Not sure how you'd go about this. Maybe remove wifi drivers from rom if you are rooted? Sorry I'm not much help, just thought I'd share this.

my opinion, disableing wifi from a young kid will not stop him to access internet from any other place instead it will make him search and found more just because he dont have easy access to information he want. soo this is not the right thing to do but start takling to him and understanding his
needs will do more good. But this is just my opinion it seems thees days there are too many ways to find out things and there is noone who can shut them all off. Cheers!!

It does look like I belong on a different forum.
>>>there's a good chance you're in the wrong forum
You are correct. My phone is a SPH-0710. Can you please port me over to where I am supposed to be?
Thank you for your help. This has been a frustrating experience, and it is reassuring to have someone take it seriously. I appreciate your taking your time to head me in the right direction.

I'm a Moto Atrix 4G and HD user. I know from development on the 4G, we could disable the wifi by not installing certain packages or flashing a kernel without the required lib/module files. I'm in the middle of fixing a friend's S2/Epic 4G touch and I saw this thread. I would think that something similar would be available here, but i am just starting out with this process of helping my friend out so I'm not sure what files really affect the wifi. I'm sure you could root the device and delete the files that enable wifi access, but I'd have to do some digging for that before i advise any further.
