Verizon's Note 2

[Deleted User]

someone on another forum posted this:

This will work on the S3, but not sure about the GN2. I cant take credit for it, but here it is:

Open the dialer and enter the following code: *#6335623#
This will open "HiddenMenuWifiOffload" menu.
Select "Disable WifiOffloading"
Press "OK"
Done!

Who is going to best buy to test it?

Verizon wants you to use wifi whenever you can to get you off of their network. That's the reason why they won't let you toggle it on and off. They are de facto forcing you to use wifi when it's available and bugging you to connect to one if you aren't set to autoconnect to one.

My best buy doesn't have working models of the GN2, only dummies.

You have to ask them behind the counter. They have demo phones. I guess it might depend where you live too though.

I found an article where this was posted and it appears you have to be rooted for this to work (didn't work on my s3 either.)

Really? Is that logical? Wouldn't they make more money if you were using more data, not less? Or is the point of tiered data that their network can't handle the high usage of unlimited data?
