It seems as though when it goes to sleep sometimes it looses the latch on true wifi signal. Also that's the same method I use toggle off /on and it works. It has to be a sleep setting for the WiFi

Probably a problem with the phone. Take it back and get different device, perhaps something with JB already installed....that should fix all your issues.

Do you have the power saver enabled? There is a setting in there about turning off WiFi if it isn't processing data. That could be what is causing it.

Check and see if AT&T Smart WiFi is on. I swapped my first LGOG because I thought there was a problem, but instead it was the AT&T Smart Wifi App. I am experimenting with using it now to manage my WiFi and it is working just fine now that I have stopped messing with the WiFi setting in the phone settings.

Everyone's been asking about it. Everyone wants it. Here it is, the wifi calling app from the G2! I've installed and runs perfectly fine on my vibrant running JP3 froyo 2.2. My home network is weak so i can't really test yet. Kudos to @Official_Drizzy for the .apk
Install with your preferred method of install, I used astro just fine, or push it to /system/app via adb. Whatever floats your boat.
enjoy
I wonder if this would work on Bionix 1.8? I don't mind testing, but if anyone knows the answer...

just install it, it won't hurt to try. If it doesn't, then remove it.
Doesn't look like it works at the moment... the app gets to the point where it says 'Enabling...' and doesn't do anything after that. It never goes unresponsive though. I'll keep messing around and see what happens.
It is being discussed in another thread... But it won't work yet with the vibrant. Something to do with the kernal.

Would love to get this thing working. Once it is, would it be possible to call using 3G instead of WIFI? Haven't they done it on Skype.
I wouldn't also mind having Skype work for my Vibrant either
Looks like im going back to Froyo!

The Wifi calling app is merely using your Wifi as a poor-man's femtocell to allow you to have clear voice calls if your in areas where decent voice signal isn't available and Wifi is. Granted, this would also have significant benefits when roaming or traveling where Wifi is available too...
But....
This uses the minutes allocated in your service plan.... So being hacked to run on 3g would be pointless...
doesn't seem mines is having an connectivity issues YET. It says i'm connected to my home network but that i can't use wifi-calling because the network is too weak.
I would just like to be able to use the phone in my apartment where I don't have service. To have to put it on a Froyo that doesn't work completely is out of the question though. Hopefully, someone smarter than me can get it working on JI6.
Just loaded Froyo, it doesn't seem to be working. Just says enabling....
EDIT: Maybe it does work. When I turn it on my signal goes from 1 bar to 5 bars.
Figures, it works perfect downstairs with wifi off and with wifi on. Its hard to tell if wifi calling is working or not because tmobile did fix my signal a little last week.

It wouldn't matter what your cell signal is. Its not using the cell signal its using the wifi.

Well it might, because thats how it worked on the Blackberry. It switched to UMA and had full bars.
Honestly when I turn it off it goes to 0 - 1 bars the second i turn it on I get 5 bars.

I am always on wifi so I don't need LTE, 4G, HSPA or 3G.... is there any way I can force 2G or edge only on an AT&T locked Galaxy Note i717? I've looked all over the forums and people say go into the menu and select that option, but it doesn't work. Same with apps, don't work. I've read flashing a different modem will enable that option to work, but won't I need an unlocked phone to do so?

Well like I said I'm on wifi all day and don't need LTE killing my battery for no reason. And, so I can still send or receive pictures.
LTE/Data is automatically disabled when you connect to wifi. No need to do anything. It will turn itself on automatically to receive/send mms.

That is Apple's "innovation" for you right there. This is Android. Android turns off cellular data when on wifi and only turns it on when needed for MMS.
You notice how when on wifi you don't see a 4g icon? Send an mms and you will see it pop up long enough for the message to be sent and then disappear.
That is your phone automatically enabling/disabling cellular data when needed/not needed.
Ok, well to get this back on track I'd like to force 2G or even 3G no matter what. Any solution for me?
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and hit phone information. Scroll down and in the drop down list and choose GSM Only. Reboot.

Nope. Even on wifi, say If you're sending or receiving MMS it will use your data (4G or LTE). Also, unless you have it turned on while the phone is asleep, your phone will switch back to 4G for downloading or synchronize data. 2G takes longer to download information because of he slower speed which causes the phone to drain battery because the phone would still be downloading the data.

I can't select anything except for LTE/GSM/CMDA auto. If I pick anything else it reverts back to that.
Okay I have been rooted for a day now and it seems that I am having some trouble staying connected to my mobile data. I did remove some bloat once I rooted but I don't think it has anything to do with that because when I am connected everything is fine. Is anyone else having this issue?

I'm on stock and see it happen at home as I get near the edge of Wi-fi range. The phone seems to continuously switch from mobile data to wi-fi, causing a lot of stutters when I'm streaming. I also had to switch to the 2.4 GHz channel from the router. The 5 GHz channel was worse and the phone seemed to be confused when I had it set up to connect to both channels. I'm not seeing LTE at our house, 3G at best.

I like having it enabled because it allows me to get on my network at home and work automatically. Which is helpful because I gave up my unlimited data. But if it does it again I may look into it.

Not sure what the deal is, but my OG has the worst WiFi reception. Multiple routers to test as well. Just poor reception every network. WiFi will drop out often, and the signal is kinda whack. It'll show full strength then drop to a circle and eventually drop out after and reconnect with like 2 bars.
Anyone else having this issue?

It would be best to provide additional details. Are you using a custom ROM or are you stock? Are you rooted/unlocked? When did the issue start?
Running the JB Canada Rom. I didn't have it long before I unlocked the bootloader. But right around when I rooted it, I suppose. It's been a universal problem though through different roms. I've only flashed a CPU kernel, but it shouldn't be active anymore.

I don't have any of those issues on a stock phone with the current software version. I've used it with an Airport Extreme and a myriad of others wherever I'm at. I've never had a problem that was the phones fault.
After I made sure that the ATT smart wifi app was happy after I got the phone all has been well. That app seems to be the common thread running through all of these threads.

I also have funky Wi-Fi issues with the JB ROM. It'll be working fine and just drop for no reason. Disabling and reenabling fixes it temporarily. I've read it's a common issue in 4.1. Annoying.

Thought there may be a JB vs L4 modem and rom issue (New at this...)

Or it may be changing settings when one first gets the phone and doesn't read (not that there is a manual) about each setting first.

When is the last time you rebooted your router?
As a pre-emptive strike, I am not interested in other devices work fine and there is no reason to because of that. They aren't using the same wifi card and they all behave differently with their own little quirks. Point in case, I have had my PC lose wifi, but my phone is fine and a router reboot clears it up.
Is it while MMS messaging? I've noticed my phone switches to 3g/4g while sending MMS, even if wifi is on.
Compared the wifes s3 side by side with my note and they dropped together so did a factory reset of the router and all is well.
Thanks for the efforts.....
