The thing is it doesn't turn off the 4g radio once u connect to the wifi it shows both of them connected and when I try to use the speedtest app its testing the 4g connection then changes to wifi

I saw that this morning. It just took a while for it to actually switch over to wifi and I don't think the 4g icon ever went away.
I'm trying my best not to use wifi because I'm testing T-Mobile's service to see if it works for me.

I'm having a similar problem. I have a terrible T-Mobile signal in my house so I always have wi-fi enabled. I've noticed a couple of times that my phone tries to use the mobile data instead of the wi-fi data even though I have no mobile signal and full bars on the wi-fi. I have to either go to airplane mode, then re-enable the wi-fi, or un-tic the "use mobile data" box in the wireless settings, and then it will switch to wi-fi and it works fine. I've had the phone for two days and this has happened twice.
One other thing I've noticed is even when I have a good signal, MMS is reluctant to send over the mobile network. If I reboot my phone and then send the message it sends right away.
It also takes a while for it to switch to wifi for me as well. Once it's on, it's on though. I noticed that to enable it quicker, turn it on and go into Wifi settings where you see all the available networks. It appears to connect instantly from that screen.
Yes this issue is starting to get real annoying. I powered on this morning and both wifi and 2g connected. 2g wouldn't drop until I toggled the data connection

Any advice on improving WI-FI calling.
I get no signal inside my house.
No one is online and all computer are off.
Stock Gingerbread Tom.
You get no wifi signal or the wifi calling will not connect?

WI-FI connects and every thing
WI-FI related works great except WI-FI calling. I have the router in the middle of house. The call connection is fine at first then it acts like when a cordless phones go out of range static and echo.

I use WiFi calling all day without this issue. You might try telling your router to use a different channel, and/or looking for sources of interference.
That sounds more like internet connection quality to me.
I would try making sure nobody is running torrents or other high bandwidth stuff at the same time.
I had no issues with WIFI Calling on CM7. I recently switched back to the stock rom and have had jitter issues and poor sound quality. Hope this helps.

+1.. get the free wifi analyzer app.. then switch your router to the channel with the least interference.
I try that on my next day off.

What version is your wifi calling app?
Hope this helps.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
In the WiFi Calling app settings, check under Connection Preferences to be sure you have WiFi preferred for calling selected, just in case something changed it. Also, in the setting area, maybe under advanced, there is a menu option for log errors. That might help point to the problem and a solution.
Problem with wifi calling

I had the same problem when I was on stock rom. Once I updated the baseband and flashed a custom rom, I dont have that problem anymore.
I notice that on my SGS4G running Gingerbread, that if I enable wifi the 4G icon goes out, and if dig deeper ifconfig shows just the pdp0 mobile interface is replaced by the eth0 wireless interface.
A colleague of mine has a new SGSII also running Gingerbread and when he enables wireless he gets both the wireless icon and the 4G icon. ifconfig shows both the pdp0 and eth0 interfaces alive at once.
Any reason for the difference in behavior?
I only notice both at same time when download SMS.

My wireless AP is going crazy at my house. Its custom and has some driver problem a Co-worker of mine is looking into.
What happens is the ssid still broadcast, but the AP doesn't pass traffic. On my phone I see the wifi icon and 4G when this happens. If I reset the AP so wifi works again (for another hour) the 4G icon disappears.
Maybe the sgs2 is able to connect, but not able to pass traffic. If you had a static build of netkit ping, it has an option to specify the interface to ping out.

Actually, I think I remember koush saying something on g+ about udp not working over cell networks. Maybe im wrong. You could also use tcpdump.

Lol, nevermind. Ping works.

The 4G icon goes away because you would not need the 4G data service if you have a WiFi connection with an active internet connection. It is standard even not for 4G signal, it does that with edge, 3g, and HSPS. I believe it just leaves a standard GPRS connection open with the tower. All to save battery.
i sometimes find that my phone has no data i am still on stock have no rooted yet but am running 2.3.6 It will not turn on by its own i have to power off phone to get to work just wanted to know if any one else has had this problem or is it just me
i have the same problem. under wireless, mobile network uncheck then recheck use packet data should come back on

your problem sounds like an apn issue or provisioning problem.
are you using a stock phone? what apn is selected?

I have that problem on Sky Ice Cream Sandwich 4.5. To fix it I quick toggle airplane mode.
Same problem here..I am not stock rooted. seems like an Lte issue.

I have a similar problem. I loose data out of blue. Called Att and they informed me that my data was removed for some reason. They reconnected but ever since than, I loose data for no reason. I have to reboot the phone. Even than, my data works for only 10-30 mind and disappears. When that happens, I have to call ATT and the disconnect my phone and reconnect and it works fine for a while. I've called them 4-5 time in last few weeks. They think its the phone. They are going to send me a replacement.

The only network I connect to is my home WIFI... here come's the stupid question...
when I leave the range of my home network it will switch to 4G
but... will it switch back to my home network when i am in range
in essence, does it prioritize wifi over a 4g connection if a profile exists?
i ask because i had downloaded VZW auto wifi on... seems like it might just be bloat
anyway, thanks all
I'm fairly certain all Android phones "prioritize" Wi-Fi over mobile data. If you leave LTE enabled then turn on Wi-Fi while home, you can see this yourself.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes. If you leave your wifi on on your phone and at home, when you get back home it will auto connect to the wifi cause it scans for available points every so often

I don't know if this has been documented before so I figured I should share. I've been tethering a new Nexus 7 to my tbolt the last fee days and was having constant data (not tethering) drops on the tbolt while doing so. Then data would not come back untill I restarted the bolt. Toggeling airplane mode or data doesn't work. But I just had an idea to turn off the bolts autosync setting while using the tether and it seems to be much more reliable. In fact I didnt get a drop untill I hopped on the bolt to come here and type this up. Somehow, uncharacteristically it came back on its own. Which makes me wonder if any kind of communication (on the bolt) will break the data while tethering.
Tshed 1.6, .19 radio
Another thingI notice a problem, when I turn tethering off on the bolt it usually causes all data to drop then also.

Have you tried any different radios? I've always got pretty frequent data drops with CM roms, at least if using the built in hotspot. Do you use wi-fi tether?
Well in general data "cycles" because that's how other carriers bill for tethering. It's literally a different connection to Verizon, a different 3G/4G if you will.
Have you given Barnacle a try? It doesn't refresh the mobile data connection.

No I haven't tried diff radios. I did try Wifi Tether and it appears to simply attach itself to thundersheds built in tether. I apparently had some settings wrong and it would keep dropping. So I tried switching to he built in and the drops continued. Then I uninstalled wifi tether and after that the built in worked just fine. Minus the data drops. I didn't mention though that when tethering the nexus 7 the drops were constant, when tethering a laptop the drops were far more infrequent.
