or you can go to (on 2.2 at least) Settings -> Wireless & Networks and simply uncheck the Mobile Network option.....
the built in power control widget can also toggle this for you as well.

I have managed to enable the very nifty feature to activate WiFi when the charger is connected on my HTC Hero (running Android 2.2) -- the problem is I can not remember where I enabled it or how I disable it again.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Is it stock or custom rom your running?
Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > press menu > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy
I am not talking about the WiFi sleep policy. Let me elaborate;
1. WiFi is turned off.
2. I connect the charger to the phone.
3. WiFi automatically enables.
It is a custom rom, but I believe this setting was changed with another application, possibly a task killer. I could be wrong tho; I remember it being in a menu where you could change various power management and performance settings. I just can't find it again.
Hello all, I recently installed Android 4 on my HD2 using MAGLDR.. Now, how can I enable/ disable the 3G reception??
Thx in advance
System settings > Show more (Wireless & Networks) > Mobile networks> Use only 2G networks.
The easiest and simplest way to connect to internet from your laptop using your android phone:
In your android smart phone, go to Settings -> Wireless and Network Settings -> Mobile networks and select the “Use packet data” option. Also uncheck the “Use only 2G Networks” option
Again go to Settings ->Wireless and Network Settings->Tethering and portable hotspots
Select the second option “Mobile AP”. You should see a blue wifi icon in your cellphone notification bar
Go to your laptop, IPad or any device which supports WiFi, search for available wireless networks and select “Android AP” option.
You are now connected to the internet. Just open a browser and start browsing.
Also you can connect using the USB.

You might want to change the title of the thread to:
[How To] Use phone as mobile modem
Or something to that extent. As it is, it seems like it is a question thread and you are needing help in figuring out how to do this.
Also some carrier subsidized phones don't have this option. So you can suggest using an app like Android Wireless Tether For Root Users.
Arrow How to use your android mobile phone as a modem?Arrow
There are 2 methods to use android phone as a modem:
first is to use your android as WiFi Router and
Second is to Connect using USB cable (USB Tethering)
is this post really correct?
i think that the wifi steps you are talking about isn’t about using "your phone as a mobile" but as a wi-fi hotspot that is different.
wi-fi hotspot is sharing the data connection of the mobile device (via WiFi)
tethering is using the phone as a modem, not only sharing its data connection.
or am i wrong?
Use your phone as a modem via usb or bluetooth
you can see detail on this website as1formatik.blogspot.com
you can translate with google translate if you don't speak french:good:
There are also two options:
1. Open your bluetooth on your phone and your pc or laptop,pair them.
2. On your pc or lt open network connection, select setup a new conection, from connection option,select setup a dial up connection, then enter your information there entering *999***1# dial up phone number.
3. Select connect. It will save the connections aitomaticallu.
2nd option is
1. Connect your phone via usb cable. Then follow the step from 2 to 3 of the first option
Hope this help yoi.

I want to use android mobile phone as modem with DLINK router So i can use my router as repeater.
how can i do this?
Anyone can help me?
hey
is there anyway to use wifi and data at the same time while browsing internet (not just for downloading) to get faster internet
i turned on (keep mobile data turned on) from developer options but that doesnot work because it uses just one network
Dont think this is possible.

Hi,
I have an Xperia XZ2 Premium running Sony's latest firmware (Android 9, 52.0.A.3.126, not rooted). At home I have 2.4 and 5Ghz networks from my main router, both repeated by a second router (four different SSIDs). I want the phone to automatically connect to my Wifi when returning home and, while moving in the house, to automatically connect to the strongest signal (5Ghz preferred over 2.4Ghz would be nice but not absolutely required).
Networks & internet > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi preferences > Advanced > Turn on Wi-Fi automatically is active
In Networks & internet > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi preferences > Advanced > Auto-connect I have enabled all four networks (2.4 and 5Ghz for router and repeater).
This setup automatically connects to my network when returning home but never changes to the best network while moving around the house. I have tried various apps such as Wifi Manager, Wifi Switcher, SWifi, SmartSwitch Pro and SmartWiFiSelector. They do connect to the best signal but shortly after such a change the phone goes back to that network it connected to in the first place when returning home. This fight between Wifi apps and the OS goes on forever.
In order to solve that problem I have to remove all networks from Networks & internet > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi preferences > Advanced > Auto-connect. But in that case I have to manually connect to my Wifi when returning home
How do I get both: auto-connect when returning home and auto-switch to strongest signal?

Torsten

If it's possible to do this, you will certainly need to root the device.

Oh, that's disappointing to hear. Would it help to use a common SSID for router and repeater? Probably something I should find out by myself...
OK, obviously I was living in the previous century. Moved everything into a single SSID and now the phone seamlessly switches between the available sources and frequencies - w/o any helper tools.
