wifi switching

[Bob Slater]

I just got a shiny new Galaxy S6.

I can't seem to find where I can have my LTE data switch off when I am in range of trusted wifi networks. It was a very useful feature on my SIII. It was good to save on my data and battery usage . Does anybody know where this feature is and how to set it up?

That option doesn't exist on that page.

Could I have missed a option that I need to turn on?

I turned the 4G on and the option that you mentioned came up. But all that it does, is switches to the 4G when the WiFi gets flaky. That is ok. But I want it to kill the 4G radio when it is connected to a trusted WiFi network. And turn it back on when the WiFi network is out of range. This morning I had someone suggest trying to use Tasker to write an app to so that. If I can do it, it'll be quite a challenge.

Using MacroDroid might make it easier. That is assuming it can be done without root. I will try it myself for the hell of it.

Excellent suggestion. I'll take a look at it. Thanks. I'll let you know what I find. I have no interest in rooting my phone. If I don't have to.
