I know I read somewhere here that there is an app that automatically connects to available WiFi when in range and disables the mobile net and vice versa. For the life of me I can't find it, can anyone help me out here?

Rather sure that if you turn on WiFi, the mobile web is disabled as soon as wifi connects.
It wasn't juicedefender, it was a shorter name

Y5 Battery Saver is the only other one that comes to mind.

Although, I find Juicedefender to be more robust.

Everytime I run a speed test it will change from Modesto being closer to me which is true but sometimes it will say Kansas is closer. Even though kansas is really far. Anybody else experience that?

Yes i Have that problem now. I tried enabling GPS and clearing the data but that did not fix it either.
uninstalling the app did not fix the location problem.
I connected to my home WiFi and it found the sever that was really close to me.

I think its because of how ATT assigns ip addresses. If you do a who is of your ip it will be somewhere far far away from you lol.

Leave it on the main screen for about 3-5 min then after that go to settings and look for the closets server.

Made no difference. It has to be based on ip address and not phone location. Idk.
Edit: just confirmed this. I turned on my WiFi and it found the nearest to me.

How funny, I'm in the Modesto area as well, and I also get Kansas as being closer.

How does Speedtest.net know where I am?
Your location is determined based on your IP address. Speedtest.net then uses GeoIP data from MaxMind to determine your approximate location. We have recently added Location-Aware browsing such as this one from Firefox all of which require explicit acceptance by you to better refine your location. All of these services are utilized to better serve you, most importantly determining the optimal testing server from among the hundreds we have available. Learn more about the MaxMind GeoIP data.

Why is my location not recognized?
If you are testing over a Wifi connection your location is determined by the modem's GeoIP information provided by Maxmind's database. Your GeoIP information must be updated with Maxmind's database before the change will be reflected in the application. If you are testing over 3G, 4G, Edge or a similar alternative, GPS is used to determine your location. Be sure you have enabled GPS locating enabled on your mobile device.

This seems to be correct because this app uses GPS when I open it. But it never seems to find my location.
Just connect to wifi, open speed test let it find server, which with my experience will be the closest to you run it once, open server changesettings make sure you selected closest to you, disable wifi and then run. Takes a bit but thats how I always get the server in Las Vegas

You can't shut speed test down use the task manager. Connect like I said make sure you just opened settings. Then while its opened and your in the server you want, push and hold the home button on the bottom and switch to settings. Turn off wifi and then use the task manager again and switch to speed test app and bam there ya go

Do you use the wifi feature on your thunderbolt and if so have you used it in your gaming console and do you get lag on it?
I'm assuming you mean mobile hotspot feature and I have tried it and yes I do get lag. The mobile hotspot does not give great constant signal so there are many breaks and drop outs. I would not recommend using this but give it a shot if you want.
Hope this helps
The factory mobile hotspot app has a cap on the speed. I get better results from other tether apps.

Agreed, you will get better results from additional tether apps that are offered.

even using other tether apps, things like online gaming and streaming video are not exactly ideal
Tried xbox live through it and was disconnected while searching for any online games. I would say that it's probably not the best idea.
I play wow, with vent and sometimes pandora on 2-3 bars of 3g with low pings...
Edit: using easytether (wired)

I played some games and downloaded so songs with PDA net on my desktop. It was really fast on 4G. But you have to pay for PDA net aftrler awhile. I use wireless tether to connect my xoom when I need it

Haven't messed with the wireless to much I'd go with a third party app for it. Or USB tether. Can run xbox live with usb tether even without much problems. Atleast in my experience

Whats the best app for resetting my network connection? Sometimes I have my 3G (white) which for whatever reason doesn't allow me to connect to the play store, google, internet, etc and the only way to fix it (turn it blue) is rebooting my phone. I've tried the fresh network app, it doesn't work. I am using Juice Defender Ultimate so maybe I have a setting screwed up but I read and reread the manual it seems like I have it configured the way I want.

Can't you just turn on airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn it off?

Afaik if ur 3g symbol is white, it means ur not fully connected to
the network. I have that somtimes too, but it only takes 1-5s, depending on signal strengh.

So at work we have 3 AP's and at home I have 2. I have to disable WiFi and the enable to get it to grab the strongest one. They are all the same SSID's as they are extenders. I have avoid poor connections checked in advanced wifi settings but it doesnt make any difference. Is there an app that can auto do this or something else I can do? Im on latest nightly of CM10.1 Thanks in advance
Of course an app can fix a problem like this. I searched play store and found wifi jumper 0.99€ and smart wifi which is free. Try them out and let us know. Btw and if the paid app isn't much brighter then the free app, you get your money back if you uninstall it in 15 minutes

Thanks for the reply. Unless I am looking at the wrong apps, this is not what I need. I need one to switch from a weaker AP to a stronger AP that is in the same building. Those that you mentioned are "battery saving" apps.
But in both app description says automatically connects to strongest AP. So did you even try out?

For me it automatically switches to the strongest AP. I'm on stock ICS 4.0.4.

Can you link me the free one please. The one that you said is free is $1.99
Free one didn't work. Sees the ap but doesn't auto switch.

Noticed in the Play Store the Smartactions app is no longer a choice for the Ultra.
Any way I can get GPS to turn on automatically when connected to Bluetooth?

I believe you can use the new APP called Assit to setup the driving profile. If you are traveling fast or have the dock it will automatically turn on the GPS and Bluetooth.
Its really new to me .. so I dont know how to customize yet...

I've been using Assist. It's working, but for some odd reason when I'm in driving mode it's not announcing caller names even though I have that option checked.

I use llama it is free and much easier to use then tasker I am not sure if it will do what you want but it has a boat load of options. I use it to shut off data when the screen is off to conserve battery life. Not that battery life is much of an issue with the Maxx anymore.
