I could really use an app which would provide a widget which lists the nearby wifi networks. The user can then tap on the name of one and opt to connect or disconnect.
I use an ad-hoc network at work and unless I manually switch off wifi, it stays connected even when out of range. I also have two separate wifi networks in range of my home which I use. It would be cool to just have a list in a widget so I can tap to connect to a specific one.
It wouldn't even need to scan, just list saved networks (I'll know if I'm in range of them)

Hi. I'd like to keep my phone connected to a local Wi-Fi network so that I can access a server on that network. However that network doesn't have a working internet connection. Can I keep my phone connected to Wi-Fi but let it use 3G for internet connection? Thank you
Normally when the WiFi is connected to a network the data is automatically disabled so I'd say no to your question.
But Super Download might help.
Could WiFi always scanning be used in this case perhaps? Try it by disabling your WiFi but leaving that option enabled under the Advanced settings.
Of course it wont work to use always scanning. It even says scanning in the name, meaning it simply allows the locations service to turn on wifi briefly in order to see local networks so it can use them to locate you.
What OP is asking for is not natively supported, and would probably require a bunch of modifications on a deep level.
My WiFi is a FREE application for anyone who wants to tap onto your nearest WiFi connection at ease. An added feature that My WiFi provides is a speed test which allow users to test their connecting speed range so that they are able to gain access to the Internet through a secured and flexible manner
Search "My WiFi" on Google Play and get the orange logo app

Use Wi-Fi+
The Honor 9 comes with many features to help your phone save time and resources. One of my favorite is Wi-Fi+. This enhanced WiFi system provides three key features that will make you have a better internet experience.
Switch Between WiFi and Mobile Data
Evaluate Wi-Fi connectivity and switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data for the best network connection. This may increase data usage.
Turn on/off WiFi Automatically
Turn on Wi-Fi when in range of a known Wi-Fi network and connect to it.
Evaluate available Wi-Fi networks
Automatically evaluate network connectivity and suspend auto-connect for saved networks that cannot connect to the internet.
When I'm going for a long drive and maybe listening to music, I'll turn my Wi-Fi off to save battery. When I get home, I don't have to worry about forgetting to reconnect to save my data. My Wi-Fi will automatically turn back on and get me connected. This is my favorite feature of Wi-Fi+
Definitely turn this feature on while you are using your Honor 9.

I have Pi 4's that create a network in my car and boat for music control (J. River Media Center). But since those Pi's aren't connected to any 4G modems Messenger, mail, web reader and other Internet connected stuff does not work while connected to dem. I have read that going to developer's options and activate "Cellular Data Always Active" should work, but it doesn't. I still get no data in to them while I'm on the wifi without Internet.
I have also read that I can set the gateway on these two networks as empty, and then phone will automatically get Internet data from the cellular network. Only one problem: That's not possible because the "Save" button is grey when there's no default gateway added. Is there anything else I can use for this?
