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

Problem with internet sharing and wi-fi router

I've got hd2 from virgin mobile. Till today wi-fi router worked ok, but now after launching I can't see it in wireless networks on my laptop even though program states is ready to accept connections. Internet sharing never worked, after pressing "connect" it grays out for 3 seconds and stays disconnected. I've used internet sharing previously on HTC HD with no problems though. So I don't know if it's a network problem or something else. I haven't used my data limit yet, so that is not the case. Using internet from the phone also isn't a problem. I would really appreciate some help.

[Q] Nexus one, hotspot intermittent connection problems

The connection is not dropped anywhere: 3G stays connected on the phone and the wifi signal is strong groing from the nexus/hotspot to the laptop connected to it and is not dropped.
But after a while, the laptop starts to get no data at all from the phone (as in, it requests data but nothing comes back). The laptop is fine as it works with no problems using my home's router via wireless.
I can usually ping the nexus fine when this problem occurs, but pings to the outside do not go through, as you'd expect.
I end up having to restart the hotspot function (a phone reboot fixes it too). Does anyone know what might be the problem? Or how I could troubleshoot it?
The nexus one is running CM 7.0.3. Google did not reveal any results (or I failed to find the correct keywords)...

WiFi won't disconnect when out of range

Hi all,
I have HTC One S from T-Mobile and noticed a big problem with my WiFi connection.
My phone will connect automatically to the wifi network in my home/work correctly, but when I leave and am clearly out of range of my wifi network (say, a km away), the phone still claims to be connected to the network, but I of course have no actual connectivity. The signal strength it reports has varied, from full strength to just a few bars.
I try giving it a minute, but it seems stuck and refuses to officially disconnect from the network. The only way to fix things is to toggle my wifi on and off, at which point it goes to mobile data since it can't find any wifi networks to connect to.
The thing is that I use Wireless Bluetooth headphones and since I started using my new phone, the signal drops (I believe it is because of the Wi-Fi not disconnecting from the network and is causing disruptions to the bluetooth connection).
Any ideas how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

Help me, help tech support

Hey Guy I have been having an issue connecting to my works wifi ( open no password) for a while now.
Any ways I was in a couple spots this week and tried to connect to some open wifi networks. Which go teh same same no connection (just says saved under the wifi networks list)
Anyways if some of you could try to connect to open wifi networks and see if you get the same problem. I also tried this on my home router with the password turned off and same result.
Really look forward to any of your findings

I have no problems here, never had any problems connecting to open wifi on the campus wifi.

I'm on the latest nightly. Have no issues connecting to an open BYOD network at work, which then uses web authentication.
Cisco WLC + AP setup, btw.

thanks guys, hopefully some more people will chime in, trying to explore this, cause i breifly had a oppo find 7a and had the same issue, so the phone isnt defective but there might be a mug when connecting to certain open networks
I also for ****s and giggle tried connecting to a xfinitywireless ap and same issue, should have atleast seen a sign in screen from teh browser
