Both Wifi and 4G icons up top.

My Stratosphere sometimes shows both my Wifi and 4G icons up top when I am at home connected to my Wifi.  Is this normal?  It does not happen all the time.  Is there a setting that I am missing?  It is not using my data, but it's a bit frustrating.  Please help.

Hello pdaddy,
The Stratosphere is my favorite slider phone! As a matter of fact, I bought one for my mother in law for the holidays and she loves it also! It is not out of the ordinary for smartphones to show the wifi connection and 4G/3G signal strength. This is often dependent on how strong the wifi connection is with the wireless network. If you are connected to wifi successfully then wifi does takes precedence over 4G, thus not using your data package. My apologies if the icon is frustrating you but it is shown to advise the user that 4G is available.
Thank you...

  • Can I use both Wifi and a Lan connection at the same time?

    With me back in the dorms I have been limited to a slower connection than what I would like. Now we are able to use both Wifi and a Lan line so I was wondering to somewhat "double" my speed if there was any way to use both connections at the same time.
    Now I know that you can have both plugged in at the same time, I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way that I could set programs to use one or the other? Or some kind of virtual desktop that is set to use the other connection or anything that would allow both be used at the same time.
    Or am I just wishing for something that doesn't have any possible way to work?

    You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
    Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
    Sorry.

    Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

    Hello, lustige luka. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    The Personal Hotspot feature using USB  should be as simple as connecting the device to your Mac via the USB cable when Hotspot is enabled.  Here is some more information regarding this feature and an article that will provide some troubleshooting steps if you are experiencing an issue.

  • Lost the ability to connect to both WiFi and Bluetooth on my iPhone 4S.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Lost the ability to connect to both WiFi and Bluetooth on my iPhone 4S.  Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

    Have you followed http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 ?
    Also try settings>general>reset>reset all settings
    If you have followed that article and restored your phone and set it up as new and you're still having that issue you may call and explain you followed the article and are still having the problem. Most likely they will either set up a replacement for you. If they ask you to set up the one time phone support agreement, and they assist you with a restore again, they won't bill you if they end up having to repair it.

  • HT201699 if both wifi and apn is available,can I force use apn? thankyou.

    dear friends:
    if both wifi and apn is available，can I force use apn? thank you very much.

    The iPhone does this automatically - has since the original iPhone and iOS 1.0 was released 5 years ago.
    If you have wi-fi enabled and your iPhone is in range of an available wi-fi network the iPhone has connected with before, your iPhone will connect to that wi-fi network automatically. When leaving the range of the wi-fi network, the iPhone switches to cellular data automatically. This swich back and forth is automatic and seamless for wi-fi networks your iPhone has connected with in the past.
    The iPhone will connect to the fastest internet connection available, but not automatcally for a wi-fi network your iPhone has not connected with before.

  • Can't use both adjust and settings icons when creating a slideshow

    I have a slideshow that begins with a poem that needs to show longer than the rest of the pictures. If I use the settings icon, then the pictures are all set the same length of time and the adjust icon does not let me make any changes to individual pictures. If I use the adjust button for each picture and do not go to settings, then I can't make the other changes I need such as "fit to music." In essence, I need to be able to use both icons but one "overrides" the other, any suggestions?

    Peculiar. And you selected the specific slide you wanted to change, and then opened the Adjust pane?
    Here are a couple workarounds. If you are stuck with a default slide length (eg 5seconds), copy the slide you want to show during the poem and paste it multiple times into your slideshow (20 times for each minute you want it on the screen).
    Since iDVD will return you to the menu when you're changing between "slideshows" you could use the Pro version of Quicktime ($29) to assemble the pieces and avoid this interruption. The basic process could be:
    - Create a video file of your main slideshow without music by Share/Export to Full Quality Quicktime.
    - Create a video file of your "poem" slide by creating a new slideshow with a long-duration slide and no music (and Share/Export like above).
    - Now you have the two video pieces you need. Using QT Pro, open both files and Select All of the big slideshow and copy. Go to the end of the intro slide and paste (Add) to that video file.
    - Lay the audio track. Use QTime to open the song file, Select All and Copy. Go to the beginning of the slideshow video file that you've been working on, and Add. Save as a Self-contained file.
    Check the slideshow and if ok, drag it onto the menu area of iDVD to import.

  • Mouse pointer jumping around and dock icon graphics tops breaking up

    i been noticing my mac acting funny, at 1st i dismissed it as no big deal but now it has become more frequent. instead of happening occasionally its happening constantly. my mac has been in the exact same location since i owned it and my mouse surface hasnt changed. theres no debris i can see in the mouses eye. its like the computer is freezing then releasing the pointer. i cant even guess about why the dock icon graphic tops are breaking up. i ran my permissions and all is fine there. anyone else know what it could be? thanks for any help.

    sweet the dock icons are full again. so far so good about the mouse. i forgot a couple months back i deleted my system folder(duh) and never reinstalled the techtool. i guess i paniced thinking something malicious was attacking my comp. sorry for assuming the worst. thanks for setting me straight.

  • Extending both wifi and ports?

    I have a hub 5 and a cat5 cable to downstairs, can anyone recommend what to buy to extend both my wifi and ports (for Xbox and sky) using the Ethernet cable not power extenders?

  • Iphone6 touch id stops internet access both wifi and cellular

    iPhone 6 64GB iOS 8.0.2 Verizon - With Touch ID on (at least one fingerprint is configured), there are times when I depress HOME to wake the device and then try to use the fingerprint reading service, internet access stops both on wifi and cellular. Turning wifi off and on doesn't help. The wifi signal shows as OK. No subsequent internet access on either wifi or cellular. Have to restart the device (I hold the home and power buttons together until the Apple logo displays).
    Right now, it is OK to not use Touch ID. In fact, since I specify how long to wait before locking the device it is actually more convenient to not use Touch ID.
    However, when Apple Pay is available this will be a significant problem.
    Any advice? Thank you.

    I have not verified this, but I have read that the ios 6 ipad uses either the cell network or the wifi network, but not both at the same time.
    You should be able to test this.
    I'm not enough of a network tech to know if you could get this to work, but there are mifi devices that do wifi to cellular. 
    Here is one example:
    FreedomPop provides 500meg of free 4g cellular data per month!  You do need to buy a wireless device at $39. There are ways of getting bonus megs.  One gig of addition data costs $10 per month.  I used about 10megs per hour of internet surfing.
    When signing up, you need to be careful with your selections.  On some screens, the free option is a small link below the large button.  FreedomPop employs a Pavlovian Dog < Operant conditioning > thing of getting you used to clicking on the large button then they change the large button to a paid add-on.
    Once you setup your account, you need to go to your account options screen to turn off automatic paid data download once you exceed your quota.
    The performance seems about like my DSL connection.

  • Can MBP run both WiFi and Ethernet connections at same time?

    I've been running my mid-2012 MBP via USB and WiFi. 
    I acquired 8-port 10/100Mbp Switch.  Can I run hardware like printers, external HD from MBP via the Ethernet switch and still keep USB connections and WiFi net for other purposes at same time? 
    (I found USB-ethernet adapters on internet)

    Macs and many PCs can keep multiple network connections going. When you look at the list of connections in the Network system preference, the one on top is the primary connection and if you want another network interface to be the primary (like Ethernet) you use Set Service Order to drag it to the top of the list.
    But when you do that, I think all services use whatever is primary. What I don't know how to do is make specific applications use specific network interfaces.

  • DHCP on both Wifi and LAN ports?

    Everything works well; Wifi clients (MAC only), AppleTV, USB Hub with Printer and 3 External disks etc...
    I plug in my MacPro via a LAN Cable and it does not get a valid IP Address from the DHCP server.
    Tried setting a fixed IP with all the proper config, nothing gives.
    I am a tried and true IT professional with over 20 years, and can't figure this one out. Anyone else have this problem?

    That certainly should work. The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) supports both wired clients (via the LAN ports) and wireless clients. All clients appear on the same subnet.
    The MacPro has 2 Ethernet ports? Have you tried both of them? Check the Network preference pane to ensure that the one you are using is enabled.
    Otherwise... have you tried using one of the other LAN ports? Have you tried a different Ethernet cable to eliminate the possibility of a defective cable?
