Greetings all
is there a way to make android (using non-rooted Samsung S20) automatically switch between 2 data Cellular data SIMs based on what application is used. for example when running App X it uses SIM1 (private network LTE) and when running other apps/services the phone would automatically switch to SIM2 (normal internet LTE) .
basically I am trying to run all applications seamlessly without manually switching between the two data SIMs. currently android applications don't work when using SIM1 and app X doesn't work when using SIM2 .
if for whatever reason the above is not achievable on non-rooted phone, as a last resort, is there a way to get the auto-switching to work with WIFI(full internet access on all applications) and SIM1 (private network LTE). if this works i have to use an external 4g hotspot router.
I tried using the android application firewall(in the settings) to only allow App X to use LTE and other apps to only use wifi. unfortunedly that did not work as the auto switching to LTE does not happen even after enabling "wifi assist/wifi+) from the wifi advanced settings.
A third option: is it possible to connect to wifi and SIM1 at the same time?

I sent my 88 year old mother a (Boost Mobile) Moto G which I flashed and activated on Page Plus. I set it up so apps will only update via wifi and left the data off. I would like her to be able to receive MMS messages without having to toggle the data on and off. If she turns the data on, will she be able to receive MMS messages even though wifi is on? The reason I ask is I had a Droid Razr that was flashed to work on Page Plus and the data didn't work if wifi was on. And since I set it up so that apps will only update via wifi, will there be any other data usage when her wifi isn't connected? (She lives in a senior living complex and wifi is only available in certain areas.)
On some phones (maybe only on carrier that support wifi calling) the stock messaging app allows MMS over wifi. If 'Mobile network data' is not enabled, there will be no internet connection when out of Wifi range.
What about using something like Viber as an alternative for sending and receiving picture messages? It requires very little setup.
is it possible to activate 4g only on our devices because the switching between 4g 3g sometimes makes connection lost in the process .
You can't use 4G only because you will be unavailable for calls. 4G only you can use only if your carrier supports VoLTE.

LTE only/4G only is available on marshmallow beta B511 and on Kitkat firmware (however, in KitKat, it is a hidden option which you can access by installing 'Advanced Signal Status' app in Google Playstore. For Lollipop, it is not possible to have 4G only/LTE only mode unless your phone is rooted. When LTE only /4G only is activated, it will remain on that setting even if you restart your phone. You have to get into the settings again if you want to be back to 3G or other network modes. When LTE only/ 4G only is activated, you will not be able to receive any phone calls. Only text messages will be received.
it is possible.... just watch this video in youtube: Mobil Data 2g 3g 4g Switch Only Root
but you have to be root
regarts!
Loving my Urbane 2nd Edition since I got it and upgraded to AW2.0. However, noticed that the watch doesnt "kick" into LTE mode as well as it should at times when I am out of range of my phone's BT or home WIFI. Works better when rebooted. Anyone else having a similar issue where the watch almost refuses to automatically switch to LTE without the phone BT or WIFI?
Mine had never got cellular connection worked, the LTE and wireless signal are showing, but the little cloud with slash is displaying too, never got real connection, no matter if the phone is on/off or in/out of range.
Since 2.0 only calls are available via LTE, but no data streaming
I tried several times with/without roaming, choosing carrier or auto, I can't receive data via the sim card of the watch. Can you please approve or i have a sim issue /watch issue?
If you're using an MVNO's SIM that requires special APN settings, it won't work. Forget about using FreedomPop or Straight Talk or such - it'll have to be the MNO's own brand or APN settings to work. There is no APN editor in Android Wear / WearOS.
Hello, I have a problem on oxygen os where data roaming does not work (obviously the option is activated, and i even tried to manually connect to different networks with 3g and 4g).
Hi, I'd like to be able to switch easily between 2g and 4g on my phone (Pixel 2, LOS 18.1, rooted). At home my cell network is terrible and works well only with the antenna that I get when forcing the phone on 2g. No VoWiFi with my carrier unfortunately (for phone over WiFi at home).
I've seen this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...2g-3g-lte-xda-exclusive-free-version.2945406/ but the app there only lets me toggle between 2g, 3g, 2g/3g, but no 4g/LTE. Do you have a recommendation for an app that would let me toggle between 2g and 4g?
Also, it has to be possible to script this so that when I'm connected to a given WiFi network (my home network), it would automagically switch to 2g, then switch back to 4g when not connected to that WiFi network?
I'm fairly comfortable with standard Linux stuff but the Android world is mostly unknown to me.
Thank you.
edit:
settings put global preferred_network_mode1 1 <-- toggles to 2g
settings put global preferred_network_mode1 9 <-- toggles to 4g
next: find the WiFi status via shell: dumpsys wifi | grep mWifiInfo ? that seems to work but that also seems too hacky to be the proper way to get the info
