This phone is bugging me. ill be home, where I have low/no service, ill try to connect to wifi, but the phone will try to connect to gprs/3g. then sometimes ill have service and it wont connect at all. IE will work but not opera or some other programs. WIFI is searching 24/7 telling when theres a connection. anyone else have this problem?
I want to leave wifi on but only connect to networks registered.
I want if there's no 3g connect to wifi if available.
seems simple to me. possible? maybe i need to change some settings?
There is "no data" but that don't really solve the problem.
I have expereinced the same, especialy if I have low signal then the gprs/3g connections starts up.
It would be neat with an application that gave you a pop up where you had to confirm that you want to connect thru anything other than wifi or bluetooth.
I have the nodata program on my phone and it works great. Search the forum for the program and if you cant find it tell me and I'll attach the .cab

NoData is probably not what you're looking for. It will allow you to disable traffic through a selected data connection. But it must be enabled / disabled manually. Sounds like you're looking for something that will toggle automatically, giving priority / preference to your WiFi connection when it's available.
There's a program called CommMgrPro that will do what you're looking for. That is, enable and disable connections based on things like cell tower location, detection of WiFi, etc. There's also a forum page for the program here.
A program called Bandswitch (at the same site as CommMgr Pro) will do similar to NoData, except it will let you choose enable / disable based on Time of day presets.
Also here in the forum you can find a program called WifiLocations. It will do similar to the first program above above. If you search the forum there are a few more (some free) programs that will do what you're looking for. Good luck!
My problem with the nodata program is that I can't seem to disable gprs/3g traffic while using wifi. It might be that I have an old version, but I have found many times that even with nodata running in the background with disabled data traffic, it still connects me if I loose my wifi connection.

thank you very much for the info. I think I sorta fixed it pretty well on my own.Still need the toggle off and on though.
I hard resetted it with out the bloat. then configured my interenet like this:
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=110811
then i went to sounds/notifications in settings, i think, and disabled the wifi notification.
seems to work pretty well.
i take back what i said.it goes in and out. I had 3g service and it said I was connected to media net, but it wouldnt let me get to the net. this phone is a pain when it comes to internet and gps
what do you guys have for internet settings under start>settings>connections>connections>advanced>select network
what setup do i use in the first in the first box and the which setup in the second.
mine 1st media net
2nd my work network (whatever that is)

Edit your MEdiaNet connection settings so your proxy is DISABLED. If it is enabled your WiFi will try to use it too - which is not possible. Unchecking the proxy will have have no discernible impact to your browsing speed when you are using the AT&T data connection.

You can safely set both to MEdiaNet. If you have WiFi enabled and you're connected to your access point it will take precedent over your GPRS (Edge) or UMTS (3G) connection. It is not necessary to disable the AT&T data connection if you are connected and browsing over your WiFi connection. As soon as you turn off or lose your WiFi signal, your phone will go back to using the AT&T data connection.

okay..thanks for the post.
set media net for both and disable proxy and I should be okay correct?
2 questions:
how do I disable the the proxy? delete wap.cingular from the settings? click disable proxy icon?
also i heard if you have one of these disable you cant use your mms?
up up up and away...
because of conflicting network settings (and a Microsoft bug), I need to change two parameters each time I switch between my home Wi-Fi network and the 3G network:
1) switch Settings/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks
2) switch Network Adapter IP address from specific IP to server-assigned and vice-versa
It's a bit tedious to do this manually each time I switch networks (especially entering the specific IP & default gateway)...what would be a simple way to automate these tasks (at least #2, which involves just a registry change, I guess) ?
ok, i've been looking for an app for a while now, and have not found anything thats close to what i need.
my business has two wifi networks.
one for employees and one for customers.
the problem is, when i need to test something on the customer wifi, (and any others) is that the proxy settings are a global setting, not a wifi specific setting.
is there an app that changes that for you when it picks up a different network?
(say, swaps the proxy settings to nothing when a specific saved network is found, and changes it to defined settings when another saved one is connected to)
would be amazing if there was, and it did not need root access.
in ICS(Android 4.0) you can set proxy for each wifi network
Use proxydroid (free) from Google Play Store... You can create profiles for each wi-fi network and bind these profiles to the wi-fi network so it starts automatically when you are connected to the wi-fi network. You need to be rooted for proxydroid to work.

still sets a global proxy, just makes it look like its wifi-specific.
Try Autoproxy, the name says it all. Also on the market.
I usually use WiFi or 2G. I noticed some sites don't load fully or stalls forever. So I wanted to change the mtu just like I did in my PC.
With wifi it is easy. "1460" >> sys/class/net/wlan0/mtu and an startup script to change it every time! It worked great.
It is easy to figure out wlan0 is for WiFi, one of them in the "net" directory. The thing is I can't get figure what is the interface for 2G network.
So what is it or is there another way?
Am I asking it in the wrong section?
I have quite a specific problem:
I live near the national border and my mobile network selection has to be set to manual, because otherwise it would randomly switch to roaming on a network from the other country, even though my home network coverage is practically 100%.
But quite often I do cross the border to area out of reach from my home mobile network and then I have to set it to automatic or manually select foreign network.
Now, the problem is when I get back home, i have to switch again. This switching is often and annoying. And forgetting to switch can also be expensive.
So I'm searching for an app that would allow me to toggle a switch (widget preferably) that would change network selection setting to automatic when i intent to leave my country and switch again to set it to manually connect to my home network when i come back.
Does any body know about an app that would allow me to do that or does anyone have a similar problem?
I'm thinking about creating an app like this though.
Similar Problem... Setting Preference Order for Mobile Networks
I have a Moto G 2013 running Android 5.0.2.
In Bangalore(where I live), Airtel has the highest 3G coverage. But I am on Vodafone (more coverage in my area and less tariffs) which does not have its own 3G network yet. So I manually set my network preference to Airtel while I'm outside. But I need to manually change the network back to Vodafone at home if I want to stay connected.
Setting to Automatic does not help as it always chooses Vodafone and so no 3G.
So I would like to know if there is any way to solve my problem and if there is any app to set preference.
Thanks a lot!
