Hello everyone, I just have a quick question about the internet.
I have an unlimited data plan for my atrix, but I have a tiny Wi-Fi signal in my room which means it won't select the 3g internet connection, but I want it to because The signal is stronger. Please Help !

Hmmmmm....
Did you think to turn of the WIFI?
I know it is really a high-tech solution but I think it might work.....
Yeah I turned off the wifi but it turns on by itself and connects to.my AP

hm. weird. if it's off it should stay off. I don't see any auto-connect option.
is this the same as yours?
Yeah its mostly the same except I don't have the Auto Connect option

The only thing I can think of is that this may have something to do with setting WiFi to never sleep.

That's the situation. Leave the network for wifi and the data up/down indicator disappears. It's a small price to pay, but I sure would like a solution..
Anyone ??

Have you tried turning wifi off then on again? I sometimes have to do that for my SGS2 to connect via wifi. All the Android phone's had this issue & that's how I would get it to connect sometimes.
Hello All,
I will be out of the country in the near future. The place will have free WiFi. How do I ensure I won't be billed for international data but still use the WiFi?
Thanks.

Wouldn't he get charged if he gets calls or texts? More so the latter since you can ignore calls

but if you need gps it may not work in airplane mode.
just tried this om cm9 and while in airplane mode it will not lock any sats for me. but if i take it out of airplane mode while it's trying to get a lock it will get one as soon as it finds a tower and keep it after i turn airplane mode back on. something to think about if you were going to get around with google maps in a foreign land. and i had my home wifi on for this quick, unscientific test.
on the plus side this should get you excellent battery life with the radios off.
Heeey, I just tried it. I got GPS with Airplane mode. GPS Status showed them all as normal.
Have a good trip!
Correct me if I am wrong, but if you are in a country where you do not have Sprint affiliates, you shouldn't be charged anything for using your phone for merely the wireless or the GPS functionality. Sprint has to know you will be using the phone internationally, and only then, will your connection be activated in that new country - not automatically. Isn't this true?

Is my mind paying tricks on me or did Samsung say something about wifi safe zone where phone is unlocked automatically when connected to certain networks

I thought this too, you can add your wifi network to a home zone but I can't find any setting to disable my screen lock when attached to that network?

When I review my battery usage it shows wifi on all day when it hasn't. Is something enabling wifi even when it is off? I have been on lte all day.

not being connected to wifi does not mean wifi adapter is off. check that first
Wifi is off on notification drop down. Confirmed in settings.

Under WiFi advanced settings you will see 'scanning always available'. Turn that sodding thing off.
That's it! Thanks and beers to you.
