HTC HD2 everytime uses the mobile phone network! help!

Hi,
Ich have one question.
I got my HTC HD2 on yesterday and it's a really nice device but there's one thing I don't like: If I want to go into internet by wlan, i always have to switch off the mobile phone network, because if i don't do that the browser will use the mobile phone network.
I hope someone understand me and find a solution to make the browser using my wlan while the mobile phone network is switched on.

P.S.: I'm sorry about my english

By Default, WIFI takes priority when it's on so you don't use your data connection.

But when the phone is on standby.. in the background it starts up the data connection on the phone.. for automatic downloads like email, weather etc..
instead of using the wifi.. I had manually turned the data connection off from the settings.. even then the same thing..
any help.

hmm.. i would recommend using nodata. search for it.. its a program that will allow you to turn off mobile internet and use only wifi.. if that what your after?

Will the Droid Charge automatically switch from WiFi to 3g?

I have the Wifi enabled on my Droid Charge so when I'm home it will use the Wifi. But when using the Wifi the 'mobile data' icon is still highlighted in the pull down tasks..
now is it trying to use BOTH the wifi AND the mobile data at the same time? I want to use ONLY wifi at home to help conserve battery usage.
then when I leave my house will it automatically turn wifi OFF and use only mobile data?
trying to keep the battery usuage as efficient as possible.

In theory thats how it's supposed to work.

hahahha in theory.. but does it actually do it?
and another thing.. in the Mobile Networks Settings.. under 'System Selection'.. you can choose either LTE Automatic or CDMA Mode... being I am ONLY in a 3g area and do NOT have 4g LTE in my area yet.. should I choose the setting for 'CDMA Mode' Will that save the battery? or does the phone try to switch from 4g to 3g...

Yes, that is how it works. If wifi is on, the phone will use wifi by default, regardless of what it is connected to for mobile data (4g, 3g, 1x). Check out http://myresolver.info from your browser to see your ip and dns server you're using.

WiFi Calling not Ringing while Screen Off

So...I am at an office today that I have zero cell coverage since I am in the basement sitting in a network closet. I enabled WiFi calling and I am able to place and receive calls. However, when the screen goes off and the phone locks I do not get any inbound calls. When I call from a land line the call just rings and rings and rings and never gets VM and my cell phone does not ring.
Has anyone else played around with WiFi calling and seen this behavior? I am assuming that WiFi goes into some type of power save mode and disables the WiFi radio when the phone locks.

Sounds right. I don't have my Sensation yet, and have never had an HTC (gotta switch from my Vibrant this week due to GPS issues), but it looks like this may solve your problem.
Menu > Settings > Wireless and Networks > Wi-Fi Settings
On the Wifi Settings screen, press the Menu button and choose Advanced.

Yah...I already tried that. I checked Best Wi-Fi performance and adjusted my Sleep policy to never. Still no dice. I have even noticed that it doesn't always ring right away when unlocked. This is a very poor performing app IMO. It seems to work well if you need to make a call...but inbound is unreliable.

I see you have one thing to do on your list when you unlock your phone LOL

I use WiFi calling at home and I have WiFi set at the default setting, not Best WiFi. I also have WiFi preferred set on my phone. My phone has been sitting for > 1hr with the screen locked/dark and it rang when I called it from my home line. Doesn't seem to be an issue here at all with it not ringing.

Seems to be the same issue I had. I'll try and do some testing on my home network tonight.

If you use any app like juice defender to control your WiFi make sure it will not disconnect you while your screen is off. May not be your issue but it was mine untill I changed settings. I make and recieve calls just fine now and no missed calls.

wifi calling shuts off your phone radio & routes everything over wifi

I still see my phone connect or at least check the connection over the network not using WiFi though. My WiFi signal is strong and I'll see the 2G signal pop up for a second and then go dormant again. So something is definitely checking but yeah pretty much everything goes out over your WiFi connection but the radios do turn on from time to time from what I can see.

Seems to be working on my home network fine CMY ..
Can receive and make calls ok ..
I have mine set to ..
1. WIFI Sleep - Never ( However I changed it to 15 minutes then back )
2. Best WIFI Performance
I did notice you have to press the menu key and pick SAVE
to save the settings ..

Seems to work at my other office today. I have it set to WiFi Perfered. The only differnce here is that I actully get GSM signal in most of the building. Anyways...I'll do more testing when time permits and report back my findings. Thanks for all those that chimed in.
Now just need to get GPS to lock in a resonable time frame.

cmy,
Have you had any luck solving the wifi calling or GPS lock? My Sensation takes forever to get a GPS lock (if at all sometimes) - way slower than a friend's G2. I've had luck setting the wifi calling to cellular preferred. That seems to have helped me, based on what testing I can do. In your case you need wifi preferred and I'd like to be able to use that option too. Is it possible your office (and mine) is blocking something on the wifi network that is preventing it? At home, I haven't heard of anybody calling me and it not ringing - just at work.

Wifi calling = FAIL unless with google/voice.
Tell your provider to suck less and reinvest.

Wifi calling is working great for me...I have no reception at my house wifi calling has been a savior. I use the same settings that warlock mentioned earlier

Thanks. I'm going to write it off as my office blocking a port that wifi calling needs, or something like that. I have mine set to prefer cellular and that seems to make it function at work. At home, where I live in a T-mobile deadzone, it seems to switch over to wifi properly.

G2x Wifi Only, Save precious battery

I bought an unlocked G2x yesterday. I'm not using any of the Cellular related features. How can i turn them off? (Not airplane mode, that also turns off WiFi)
I also put in a random prepaid phone sim to remove the "Insert SIM" notification
I want this phone to look normal. but use only wifi. Because theres wifi everywhere and I can get free wifi calling.

I don't think it will make any difference in battery life weather data is turned off or the SIM is just not present. I think there are ROMs for the G2x that allow data to be toggled but I'm not sure.
If you're talking about T-Mo's wifi calling then you need an active T-Mo SIM to make it work.

You can disable mobile data from
setting > wireless & network setting > mobile network setting > Data enable
As long as you are within wifi range and connected it should by default disable mobile data.

You can try going to dialer, dial *#*#INFO#*#*

(scroll down)
"turn off radio"
YMMV though

This.
This is the only way to achieve what you are asking, toggling mobile data still leaves the cell radio active. I do not know if wifi calling will work with the radio completely off though. Try it out and report back, I'm interested to know.

I just followed that, wifi is still connected.
But this is what i mean
see "Cell Standby" and a completely different section "WiFi"

Airplane mode does turn off your wifi but try turning wifi back on. Works on cm7 at least...

I have this setup currently. I use quickshortcut maker LINK from the play store. When you open the app, it default to incremental search. Type in data usage and several results pop up. In there is settings. Under settings, is the 2nd choice called data usage. Choose it, and the next screen lets you try the shortcut you're making. Click it and it should bring up your mobile data screen where you can toggle the data on/off with just one button! PRESTO!!
Enjoy.

Turning mobile data off is not the same as aeroplane mode - your cellular radio is still active and you can send and receive calls and SMS messages.
Assuming the OP really wants no cellular radio, what they need to do is switch on aeroplane mode, and then switch WiFi back on again.

There's a toggle for it in the drop down menu, or am I missing something?

As I said earlier, you need to switch on aeroplane mode, and then turn Wifi back on again.
You can switch on both Wifi and Bluetooth when aeroplane mode is on.

I do not know what you mean

Hello. More details please... Why do u want cell data off? If you set up wifi calling and use the preferred call method of wifi calling you don't need to do what your trying to do.
TRY THE FOLLOWING.....
Turn on Wi-Fi and connect to a Wi-Fi network.
From the Home screen, swipe up on an empty spot to open the Apps tray.
Tap Settings > Connections.
If necessary, slide the Wi-Fi switch right to the ON position.
Tap More connection settings.
Tap Wi-Fi Calling, now Select one of these options:
Wifi preferred
Cellular network preferred
Never use cellular network
Choose never use cellular network, and when u have a wifi connection your phone will use wifi calling not your carrier network.
This is how you do what your trying to accomplish I believe.
