How can I use my phone as an AP for my home wifi?
I mean I want my phone to act as a 'signal booster' for my home wifi..
normally when we activate wifi tethering, it disconnects from the wireless..
i want the tether to be fed by my home wifi network.. can i do that?
nope i think u cant do that
the wifi ap the pre-installed in ur phone will disconnect u from wifi connection and change ur phone into data mode
also i think there's no app can help for this

I recently ended my data connection on my HTC Fuze and I was wondering if there was something I could do or something that I could download so that it automatically tries to connect to the Wi-Fi instead of the 3G network?
u can go into ur connection manager and turn 3g and data off. while at it, enable wifi....

Well I know that... But you know how when you click on the weather tab without turning on the 3G or Wi-Fi, it automatically tries to connect to the 3G. How do I get it so that it does the same but with the Wi-Fi?
Is there such app?
or perhaps something that prevents the phone from disconecting from a wifi conection when it goes to sleep?/
or one that prevents the phone to go sleep while conected to a wifi?
The thing is, my plan is not unlimited and i dont want to use 3G if a wifi connection is available and connecting each time is a pain.
At some point Froyo was doing this (conecting automatically, almost instantl to my home wifi when i opened browser for instance) but not anymore.
cheers
I've just been charged £400 by Orange for exceeding my Data limit of 1GB , watching You tube video's but whilst connected to WiFi.
I did a few tests using www.showip.net and found that when you connect to WiFi your connection is still rooted through your data connection, so your download limit is being sucked away when you are thinking your safe as your connected to your WiFi connection.
You actually have to manually disconnect your data connection, then connect to WiFi, your data connection doesn't automatically disable itself when you connect to WiFi.
This seems like a major bug to me and I can't see this documented by HTC or Windows Mobile
Is this a know "issue" and is there a fix?

You do not need to pay them anything,just go to your local citizens advise bureau or trading standards..
In order to prevent using 'data' connection you have to disable it with a third party app ,such as data disconnect,even then you have to manually disable it in the connections centre,if you disable it in the connections centre and do not use an app such as 'data disconnect' it will still connect..
Therefore it is a fault with the device..
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just discovered this issue. Which app will automatically disable 3G when I'm connected to WiFi? I always thought if you were connected to wifi your data would not get used? Guess I was wrong :S

Install Android Data n wifi works like a charm...
In windows, i've seen Wifi-on-demand once installed,starts the data automatically when wifi is lost,but data stays on even when wifi is reconnected.I guess there is no solution for this yet....

CHTS switches Gprs off, if Wifi is connected. Also you can disable gprs Data totally.
At best you make a home profile, which disable gprs totally and only if you really want to use gprs, you switch to another profile, which allows it.
what i want to do is to use an external wifi connection that my android phone is receiving, on my pc. in other words, the phone would work as a wifi adapter for the pc (because i dont have one in my pc). i tried usb tethering, but it lets u use only 2g/3g connection, not wifi.
any app which can do this?
Hmm normally it should work with wifi too.
Try to deactivate 3g while you're tethering.
Otherwise try apps like pdanet or another one but I forgot the name.

your talking about reverse tethering and yes flussen is right just turn of mobile networks and it should work and ive seen this done using wired tether 1.4 from google.
ok, it works with data connection turned off.
i bought this phone used few days ago.
its on nougat. data wont disconnect by its own when the s7 is connected to router. tried changing settings but that did not help.
any clue on why thats happening
