I saw today that the WiFi symbol and the LTE symbol were both displayed while I see the up and down arrows on the WiFi symbol working. What does this mean? What is it doing?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Wifi AND LTE Symbol on at the same time
- Thread starter de2000
- Start date
faster download option ticked.
when im downloading data, the phone will use both wifi and cellular to speed up the process.
you should see a lightning bolt (grayed out when not running).

Please elaborate on where this setting is located. Thanks

Settings -> Connections -> More connection settings -> Download Booster
Or more easily, just use Bixby and say "Download Booster"
Or check in Developer Options -> Networking section -> Keep mobile data turned on
Does keeping mobile data on really do the same as combining and managing WiFi and LTE connections for large files...Download Booster is needed for that, I believe.
Thanks for the replies. I am on AT&T, and I don't have that Download Booster option. In my developer option section, I do not have keep mobile data on enabled. And yet, I still get this dual icon (wifi and LTE) from time to time.
It would be nice to find out what exactly it is doing...

Download booster is a samsung thing. Carriers can elect to keep it or not.
Its not in dev options, its in the standard phone wifi settings as mentioned above. It does make a difference.

I've been looking for this setting and cannot find it. I have the U.S. unlocked version.

That's the thing sim unlocked versions without carrier branding may not have all the bloatware from carriers but they will be missing features that carriers enable or are carrier specific. I didn't have it on my unbranded exynos until I installed my carrier's features.
Download booster
Hi
I'm from italy and have no brand device note 8 exynos
Download booster don't start but the symbol above 4g connection appears....
What can i try to fix this?
There is some chance to verify of the download booster option run in a diagnostic mode?
Many thanks

I had the same problem where the 4G/LTE symbol remained ON even when on WiFi (S8/Verizon). Turned out to be a weather app that I wasn't even using (think it was Today Weather), but not completely sure which one. Uninstalled and LTE symbol is now off when on WiFi.
mine does the same occasionally. its called switching. means if either are weak, the other takes over. LTE shows and wifi, because i have both on all the time, and somewhere in connections is a setting for such.

under advanced in wifi within connections. many settings to adjust what one may be trying to attain. I m NOT unlocked.
My T-Mobile Note8 just started this 2 days ago. Turning Wi-Fi Calling On while connected to my home network removes the 4G LTE icon, and turning off Wi-Fi Calling makes the icon come back. One thing I've noticed is when I clear the memory via Device Maintenance tool, the 4G LTE icon disappears, but then reappears after a short time. I tried to watch the list of apps loading to see which one makes the LTE icon reappear, but the apps get shuffled around in the list. Anyone with ideas on which apps tend to cause this issue? I've uninstalled apps I assume to use mobile data and/or GPS location in the background, but I'm at a loss.

nvm... turns out that a June 26th update of the Amazon Alexa app caused the 4G icon to stay on at all times. GG, Amazon.
its Google Duo doing it, clear memory, 4g goes away as soon as i open Duo it comes on again.
