Wifi and 4G at the same time?

**gTen** · #1 (**permalink**) 12-02-2010, 04:06 AM

I am curious about something, on the EVO, can you use Wifi and 4g at the same time? and no I am not talking about Hotspot or tethering...I mean like transferring files from cellphone to pc over wifi while downloading a file on your phone via 4g (not 3g)...

Does it work or it won't let you?

(also I am not asking for an alternative, I am asking about this in specific)

I don't think it will let you. By default 4G is ignored if WiFi is connected (note that WiFi must be connected to a wireless network not just on)

How would you even determine which connection an app is using to check this?

Nope. Can't do it. Not capable.the technology inside it barely runs Android without lagging. Snapsnail is epic fail. Epic.... Get one.

Its ignored or once you activate wifi 4g shuts off/disconnects?

Its kinda hard to try it out if you don't actually have the device..hence why I am asking it...there is a reason I am asking as well...

The priorities are Wifi, 4G, 3G

That is the order a connection is sought. My complaint is that many apps fail to re-acquire when the phone switches from one connect to another.

You cant use them both at the same time as of now. Im sure someone could come up with the software to do it but currently the phone automatically makes the phones Data (you can still receive sms and mms through phone service) service unavailable and only makes the wifi available to web services.
