Samsung Galaxy S II 2 - Wifi and 4G on at same time.


Problem is that Wifi and 4G are on at same time at home, but no data is downloaded.

Solutions that I have found on the web / customer support:

Solution A
1. Navigate to Setttings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks
2. Uncheck Use packet data
3. Wait for Wifi to reconnect
4. Re-check Use packet data
5. Wati for 4G to come on and then dis-appear


Solution B

This happens whenever there is an app running that requires 4G and can't communicate over Wifi, most likely the T-Mobile My Account app. Try launching it (to bring it into the foreground), press Home, and then go to the Task Manager app to kill it.

Solution C

You could also try Llama from the market and try the following - it has worked wonders for my battery as well.



Turn off T mobils contact sync

menu -> settings -> accounts and sync -> uncheck T-Mobil contacts

Ensure mobile data is not active when connected to wifi - here is how

Install Llama from the Android Market

Add an event called WiFi

Add condition: WiFi connected (any network)

Add action: Wifi Sleep Policy (never sleep)

Add action: toggle Mobile Data (off)

Add another event called WiFi Disconnected

Add condition: WiFi disconnected (any network)

Add action: WiFi Sleep Policy (Sleeps when screen turns off)

Add action: Toggle Mobile Data (on)

This will clear up the dual wifi 4g issue + save you some battery
