Wifi connected but still uses Edge

when i am at home i would like to use my wifi connection but it appears that it still tries to use edge. how do i configure my connections so that it uses wifi if connected?
thanks

Hey,
have you properly set up ur wifi connection on ur device including any password protection and security (WEP/WPA etc).
Also and this might seem daft, but is ur wifi connection on router properly working or have you set up any access restrictions on router?

its not a question on whether the wifi connection actually works but edge overriding it.
but... yes i did all of the necessary steps to add my device (wep password, mac address added etc...)
if i turn the phone off the wifi works just fine.
thanks for the reply.

Hy,
you have to set the networks (Internet and Private Network) to "My Work Network".
Does this not work you have to make a rom update.
Greatz

You will find it at Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Avanced -> Select Networks

that just makes everything not work

Which rom version do you have? Which device do you have? Which Provider Label do you have?

its all in my sig

I find that if I want to switch from cellular data to WiFi, I have to hit the Data button in the Comm Manager, then hit the WiFi button. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to switch. If I just turn on WiFi, it connects, but never know which one is going to be used.

Go to:
Touch "Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Network Selection.
Set both settings to "Office Network"
If this does not work then install a small file called "No data" or "Modaco No data"

no data works by removing a registry key for your connection settings..... so it will also disable your picture messaging and/or email if you use it. (just a heads up)

Help turning off push email for Microsoft Exchange

I'm headed out of the country and have purchased a limited amount of data for the trip, but cannot find a way to turn off push email using Microsoft Exchange. Help!!
TIA!

Go to Settings > Communication > Microsoft Direct Push > OFF.
or go to
Activsync > Meny > Sync Options > Change to Manually

Many thanks. Got it through Activsync. I'd updated my comm manager to a version that includes Mobile Wifi Router and hadn't realized that I lost the Microsoft Direct Push option in the bargain. :-(

No Menu > Settings > Wireless controls > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced for Vega-N?

No Menu > Settings > Wireless controls > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced for Vega-N?
I'm running Vega-N beta 5 and can't located the Menu > Settings > Wireless controls > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced menu. I need to enable Proxy for my work lan.
I tried something called TransparentProxy but it fails with some error about redirect.sh failed (FIX ME! implement..... something about iptables, insmod or perhaps a kernel upgrade).
Is there any way to get Proxy working?

I don't know if this helps, but you can create a shortcut using Anycut that lets you launch the proxy settings dialog (under 'Activity' > 'Proxy settings'). It lets you specify a hostname and port. I haven't had a reason to use it so I don't know if that is the dialog that you are looking for in the settings menu.

I finally used AnyCut and got a short cut. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to do anything. I don't think our Kernel supports Proxy yet.

SIM Carrier select settings?

So when I first placed my SIM in the Unlocked A9, I got a menu that says select the carrier for the SIM. Does anyone know how to get this menu again? Or what it is called to google it?
Basically it was a dialog box of radio buttons and had 10+ choices. This was for the NA market if it matters.

Settings > Mobile Data > Access point names > (at the right side on the 3 dots) Reset to default.
After resetting, restart the phone and go again to Settings > Mobile Data > Access point names, to see the carriers list.

Network manager, possible?

I tried to extract an apk from my previous phone to install the program above, that didn´t work. It´s part of a smart suite and I managed to get messenger working at pushing notifications and calls always, I did that by preventing it from using wifi, it was on cellular data at all times.
Anyone know of a similar program, easy to use and just prohibits certain apps from using wifi?

How about Settings > Wi-Fi & Internet > Data usage > Wi-Fi > choosing an app there > Wi-Fi disabled?
