GPRS and WiFi auto-connect/disconnect troubles

Even though WiFi is up and running, my phone keeps getting connected via GPRS automatically. Although most programs use the WiFi connection, sometimes they switch over to GPRS. Also, when I reboot the phone, WiFi gets deactivated and GPRS kicks in automatically. Of course, this is a bad thing since my carrier allows only 1MB of downstream on GPRS.
The other problem is that WiFi keeps getting disconnected after a period of inactivity. Now I don't mind this happening as it saves battery, but I don't want this to happen when I'm at a place having access to a power source. Strictly speaking, I could live with the WiFi getting disconnected, but the irritating thing is that sometimes it just doesn't reconnect - instead, a baloon pops up informing me of all other wireless networks available - my network isn't listed! Then after a few more minutes, it automagically connects to my network. Sometimes, to get the wifi to connect, all I have to do is click on the "G" icon (I'm about to open the wireless manager) and the WiFi starts to connect! Just w.t.h is going on here? :S
Now the common "solution" for the GPRS problem that's floating around the net is to use a program that disables the GPRS connection, like Modaco NoData or such, but I'm looking for a more permanent solution (regtweak?) by which:
1) GPRS is never connected and if connected, never used by any program IF there's an active WiFi connection
2) When the phone (re)boots, WiFi should be activated and if any "known" networks are found, should connect to it automatically, else it should be deactivated
3) Perhaps WiFi/GPRS can be enabled/disabled based on the cellid/GPS and/or time schedules? Now I know of programs that can do this, but I'm looking for something extremly light, preferably which doesn't have a GUI and/or runs as a service and can be configured by xml/ini/reg (or maybe have a seperate GUI for settings)
Any ideas people?
Thanks for your time.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm in the same boat and would like to know as well. Thx.

Yeah, I changed phones. Didn't face this issue on a Diamond and a Hermes.

got the same problem with my tg01 keeps dropping wifi and keeps connecting to gprs when wifi is on

[Q] Phone can't find mobiledata connection after using WiFi

So I bought a Xperia z1, used if it matters, and it is having this issue. When I'm done using WiFi and turn it off, the phone can't use the internet, even though the connection seems to be running (full connection bars, H+ symbol) but no data is able to move whatsoever. This doesn't occur every time though, it may as well work just fine. Yesterday I didn't use WiFi and the mobile connection worked the whole day. It also occurs sometimes when I boot the phone. Turning on/off the mobiledata or the airplanemode might work and get the connection running. Sometimes. This is frustrating as hell. I'm running android 4.4.2

Anyone?

[Completed] Problem with Wifi Connection, no common issue

First of all thanks in advance for your support.
I have a rooted android Tablet Szenio 785qct with Android 4.2.2, it was working very well but the battery and the wifi had problems.
I thought that the wifi problem was in relation with the battery power, but after the replacement of the battery it persists.
The problem is very strange because:
- I switch on the wifi.
- It looks for the wifi connections.
- It Connects and an IP is assigned.
- But it does not navigate in internet.
- The info of the wifi connection says that is connected at 0 Mbps. The signal is full, i am near the Access point.
- DNS is assigned ok.
- File hosts is clear. (only localhost 127.0.0.1)
- I can connect with Ethernet wire or with bluetooth to my mobile phone shared connection and it can connect to internet. But not with wifi.
After this, I have searched for this problem in any way, but I did not find anything.
I dont know if it could be a bad configuration…
I would appreciate an idea for this…

Hi !
Sometimes this happens after a software update , try to reset the wifi router
Good luck !

Spontaneous wifi shutdowns

Hi,
I have a problem with wifi connection on Honor 8 (FRD-L09C432B399, EMUI 5.0.1) - I have no problem to connect to wifi networks, but wifi is spontaneously shutted down regardless of whether I am connected or not on router/modem. The wifi switch is still on (blue), but all visible networks disappear, the phone disconnects from the connected network, and it takes a few seconds before the phone finds networks again and automatically connects to the known network. I made a factory reset, but without success, rather it seems to me that the situation has worsened and wifi fails nearly every 10 seconds.
Any suggestions how to fix this problem? Thx.

Are you sure, 'Keep wifi off, during sleep' isnt set to 'Always'? As you already have resetted to factory set it shouldnt be. Although please verify.

Yes, it is; also 'Wi-Fi+' is dissabled.
