Re: Engaging UMA: TMO 9700
You can go into "Mobile Network Options" and for "Connection Preference:" choose "Wifi Preferred"
That's on OS6 anyway. Not sure which OS you're not.
And I think that's what you're asking.
Re: Engaging UMA: TMO 9700
@mithrazor: Very good actionable suggestion. I checked my 9700: Connection Preference:="Wifi Preferred"
I just left a building basement that had wifi, but no cellular: device connected to the wifi but no UMA icon. Why? Upgraded from OS6 recently. UMA worked rather well with OS5. Not so much with OS6. OS5 UMA seemed to be much better. Seriously considering returning to OS5 (but would prefer not to).
Additional suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
Re: Engaging UMA: TMO 9700
Yeah, I'm not sure why that is. But it seems like it'll connect to UMA when it wants to.
Usually it does connect. But some times it will be connected to wifi but will not connect to UMA.
Re: Engaging UMA: TMO 9700
UMA quality can vary even within minor increments of OS. You might want to research other 6.0 builds available for the 9700, in case you are running one that isn't the best for UMA.
