That would be correct. WiFi uses the GSM network and not the 4G. You may not want to turn off the WiFi to keep your data usage in check. When you leave the WiFi area it will revert back to the 4G network and the use 2G will be unchecked.

is there any way to turn off 4g on Samsung Charge?
I have thunderbolt myself, I chaged my radio setting to CDMA Auto.
But it doesn't work on Charge!
Help me!
To disable 4G
SETTINGS -> WIRELESS AND NETWORK -> MOBILE NETWORKS -> SYSTEM SELECTION -> CDMA MODE

Go to the market and download the LTE Switch and put it on your desktop. Problem solved.
Anyone know how to force only 4g mode?

Not that I'm aware of. Also, I'm not sure if that's a great idea, considering the spotty coverage so far.
That said, the new EE4 update that came out yesterday (2011-JUN-08) is supposed to improve 4G reception/selection.

Yeah. Is that what it indicates? Ha I'm sorry I was just wondering.

Yes I THINK it means its holding off of it cause your on wifi and once you get off of wifi it goes away.

check mark means no mobile data, which could mean wifi on or mobile data off for some reason

Yes that's what it means. I had to call ATT to get it fixed because of my imei. Try turning mobile data on in settings.

I thought H plus a check below it meant that you were in an area where H+ is available to the user.

Nah the check just means that ant hsdpa connection is available but not currently connected (4g included)

how do i get my internet access
All of a sudden my 3g network quit working! For some reason, I'm also unable to receive sms messages, though I AM able to make calls. The up arrow on the 3G indicator flashes constantly, obviously indicating I'm trying to access data, which I am, but the down arrow stays inactive except for a few random flashes (just once and then a few minutes of nothing again). I've tried toggling airplane mode, turning mobile network on/off, rebooting the phone and I even went as far as resetting, all to no avail. This is my home where I have NEVER had any troubles with 3g. Occasionally, the phone does recieve data for long enough to load a page or anything else but the majority is just getting network errors and failures to load. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Are you rooted? If so what ROM are u running?

No, I'm not, sorry for not stating that. It's an HTC Wildfire (CDMA) running on a small network here in NC (Carolina West Wireless).
And your provider?

Sorry Slag, the name of the Provider is Carolina West Wireless. Anyway, here's my up/down stats since last reboot: pppsent: 1315 pkts ppprecieved: 519 pkts
Check your apn settings and make sure they match your service providers settings.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Ok. Honestly,you need to be rooted.LOL. Seriously,it sounds like a network error. I would call customer service,and ask for technical support. If you are with Sprint,ask for technical support. They should be able to walk you through it. Do any of your friends have same phone and network? Check with them,and see if they are having the same issues. You stated that you did a factory data reset,can't remember if that requires reboot. Sure it does,though.Also, try doing a battery pull.

Not since the factory reset. Anyway, to be honest I cant find apn settings anywhere. From what I understand it should be settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks> But "Access Point Names" is missing.
Don't know what happened. I've tried all the radios. I powered down and pulled sim card... no dice. 4g is fine but can't get 3g.
A couple times it's gone 1x and then as soon as 3g popped up it went right back yo no signal text.
I think my sim is jacked up. Any ideas? Gonna wipe and reinstall roms

Going to bet you are in "LTE Only" mode and not "CDMA/LTE" mode.
Wasn't working for me either when i was on cdma only but when I switched to lte/cdma it works fine.

Because "CDMA only" only gives you 1x, "CMDA auto" gives you 1x/3g
hey op I had the exact same issue yesterday!!
here's my thread on androidcentral:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-htc-thunderbolt-forums/108681-no-longer-getting-3g-what-should-i-do.html
I ended up getting a new sim card at the verizon store.
I tried toggling the cdma auto prl prior to going in there and it
still did not work.
what rom are you using?
Using ltb 2.5 and infusetheory 1.1 b using bootmanager.

I'm using an infuse 4g with JB 4.2.1 cm ROM. I unlocked my phone and put in a T-Mobile prepaid sim.
I'm supposed to have 4g consistently but I'm getting 2g(edge), 3g(umts) and on very rare occasions I get 3g(HSDPA)... Its approximately 70%-%20-%10, respectively. And these changes are all happening in the same household. No tower switching.
I only have the option to switch on 2g only in my network mode settings on cm10... APN settings are correct and all T-Mobile can say is that I won't get 4g if the tower doesn't support it..
Are there any possible solutions to obtain 4g at all?
If so, how do I keep it on all the time?
Do I need to install a new modem?
If so, which?
Any comments and/or answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Using Uckl2 at the moment. FYI.
Also, I know the modem is for WiFi but does it affect carrier data? If not what can I change to affect my data connection?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I always thought the opposite. I thought modems were only for mobile data. But does switching modems help?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Could increase or decrease your signal and rate at which data is downloaded and uploaded depending on your modem of choice. Battery life is also affected minimally (usually).
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, didn't know that... Well thanks for the lesson but have you tried switching modems?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I switched through a couple and uckl2 seems pretty stable but no change on carrier network service.. I want to put on kl3 but I can't find the download.. Not too many options for my phone though.. That I know of.

It might just be your location.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Since I changed to cm10 and switched to T-Mobile sim I have yet to have 4g. Tried where I'm at now and up to 70 miles from here... Very weird. I can't tell if its T-Mobile or the ROM.

Have you had it before on the same phone? Have you tried using another 4g phone?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I had 4g on it before, on att and on metro. Both while using stock Froyo rom and GB aeon rom.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Weird, it sounds like its the network then
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's what I'm thinking but when I called T-Mobile, they said that they cannot diagnose a non-tmobile phone. The only info that they can give me is that they assume its my location and possibly the modem but they cannot guarantee switching modems will work. Doubt they hack phones though, Lol
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
from my recollection..not from experience:
T-mobile or networks other than AT&T will only give you: edge or 3g.
No 4g or hpsa+
to get better than 3g, you need to be on AT&T
When the phone is on "H" I ran a speed test and its pushing 5 to 7 mb download speed. Is that close to 4g?
Any advice on how to stabilize the network?
