I just disabled the app as I got annoyed by the notifications but I never really had the app actually turn off / on WiFi. Wondering if anyone is actually using it and can comment on its usefulness
I used to use Smart WiFi ( paid ) but stop using it because it stopped working properly and dev is stagnant

I have been using wifi tether and the built in tethering option on CM. On both my 3g will randomly drop in and out. Also, when tethering two computers the connection is almost unusable.
Is there something that I am missing or something that I need to change?
Thanks and I apologize if this has been answered. I tried searching without luck.

The only time that has happened to me, is when my screen went to sleep, because I had my m obile data unchecked. I have to force the screen to stay on during tethering. I used to have the tethering drop off as well, not the 3g. that was solved by changing the channel to 1. Never had a failed connection since then. Other than that, I would be rendered clueless.
Yeah keeping the screen on seems to help but I still can't figure out why the 3g shuts on and off. It is really strange.

This used to happen to me. I used it to play cod and I got a connection interrupted every 2 mins or so. Then i found wireless tether

Anyone experience issues like apps that use data such as Facebook, friend caster, twitter, xda,.. Such as if your viewing something it won't refresh auto or manually. And you have to reset your data to be active again..? I'm noticing it is mainly while connected to lte
I'm on tweaked rom 2.3 with the latest saber kernel 32.2 UC

For example I have on auto refresh on this app and I tried manually refreshing just now and still won't refresh.. It's like certain apps I'm having hangs on.. But open a Brower or 2 and it loads whatever no issue..
P.s.. Double posted, didn't allow me to attach image to first post

I've experienced this also. It has something to do with our phone's way of handling the high power consumption of LTE. I first noticed it using my favorite app DeskSMS, which worked flawlessly prior to LTE, now it doesn't work half the time. However, It became such an irritation I manually went back to 4G, and everything works like it should.
If I ever needed the higher speeds, I can always switch to LTE.

I figured that but it's surprising that lte wouldn't operate the same as on a 4g connection but faster..

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?

Hi Guys,
Previous phones turned on wifi when I got home and turned off when I left home.
Now im having to turn it on / off manually, am I missing a setting or just stupid..........
Any help appreciated.
Wi-Fi control on this phone is a bit flakey. Use this app and your issue should be solved.

Yeah there are 3rd party apps knocking about but was hoping that I just missed a setting.
Tbh im astounded that this phone doesnt turn off wifi when out of range from my home network. Asus gave this phone every app known to man but cant auto turn off wifi ?
Cheers anyway
They will most likely fix it in an update. With early versions it would not even remember the Wi-Fi sleep settings.

I've never seen a built-in app to turn WiFi off when leaving a specific network.

My previous phone, Lenovo A830 had it, worked flawlessly, wasnt an app though, just a setting feature.
So, after being unable to use T-Mobile inflight texting and Gogo not being able to tell me much about why, I finally tried to see if I could connect to wifi calling at home (where it has and still does work regularly) while in Airplane mode. To my surprise, I couldn't, and the moment I turned Airplane Mode off, wifi calling came right back. Has this been everyone else's experience as well? Any known workarounds?
TIA

Because airplane mode turns off the WiFi radio?

But I can turn wifi back on and use it with airplane mode on. Wifi calling never comes back, and I didn't have this problem with my T-Mobile Note 3.

I can definitely use wifi calling while in airplane mode. Are you getting a REG99 error? or an ER81?
I'm getting the REG99 error indeed. And if I pay for gogo, I can connect and use the WiFi, just can't use the WiFi calling.

Nope, I had the same error while on the plane. I've made three trips recently, and all of them have failed. I hit up the customer service through their website on my phone, and each time, was granted a two hour pass (duration of the flight) to use hangouts instead.
This occurred on different airlines with all three flights.
TMO was not able to figure this out either, since I had them look into this since the first time it failed on me.
Yeah, definitely seems like my phone won't do WiFi calling when airplane mode is on.

There are documented problems with wifi calling and xposed. As I recall, the gist of it is that with xposed installed, Wi-Fi calling works only if lte is available. Without xposed, wifi calling will work with wifi only, as it's expected to.
There's a thread somewhere here about this on the t-mobile section. Basically if you install a deodexed rom, wifi calling works as it's supposed to.
Thanks for the heads up! Guess I won't be wifi texting on flights.

Circling back, flashing a deodexed ROM indeed fixed it. Thanks! [emoji106]
