Hey everyone,
I recently switch from T-Mobile where I used the HTC Sensation. Now I am on Sprint and own a Samsung GS2 Epic 4G Touch. What is new to me that I need help understanding is using the 4G. On T-Mobile;'s Sensation, 4G was on all the time whenever I was in service area. With the Samsung, I have to manually turn this on. I live in Baltimore, so I know I am in a Sprint Wi-max/4G coverage area, but it still seems a lot slower. My questions are 1) Is there a way to keep 4G from "sleeping/going idle" when not in use (cause it seems to take forever to re-connect) and/or keep it on all the time? 2)What options should I set in the "Roaming" menu under mode, settings and guard (never had to deal with this on T-mobile)?
I also want to change around the bottom four icons on the homescreens for Phone, Contacts, Messaging, and Apps. Do I need to root to do so?
Any help/ input would be grealy appreciated.
