That is the default action AFAIK but I find that the switchover is 
sometimes _very_ slow to take place. If I'm listening to a radio stream on 
the phone at home and then walk down to the mailbox at the street the WiFi 
drops out when I'm maybe 50 feet down the driveway and the LTE should kick 
in immediately but sometimes it takes literally minutes to make up its mind 
and often I'm on the way back with the mail and I'm back in WiFi range 
before it ever switches. I'd sure like some way to speed up the 
decision-making process.
