My question is there a way to separate connection (wifi or data) per app while both wifi+data are active, so for example one app uses wifi and the other uses data SIMULTANEOUSLY
When your phone is connected to your home or any other Wi-Fi network, it will not connect to the 5G, 4G, 3G, or any type of wireless carrier network.
Wi-Fi for Android is a priority. If there is Wi-Fi and Android Data, the Wi-Fi will take over the data connection. However in order to use only Mobile Data, you need to turn off the Wi-Fi manually.
Any data used via Wi-Fi will not count toward your data plan.

Here's a basic question about the HTC Fuze. If I'm using the Edge network and I turn on wifi, thereby getting a faster connection, do Fuze applications default to the faster connection or do I somehow have to turn off the edge/3G connection specifically. I know I should be able to tell...
I usually have both wifi and edge/3g off. When I need data I turn on whatever i need. You do that thru the communication manager.
I think the real question is with both the Edge/3G on and Wifi connected, where will the data transfer? Through the cell network or the WiFi network?
the icons on the top bar of my device display clear which connection is active
with a data session
when one is active it's the only one being used to access data from the internet
It's possible to have both OTA and wifi active, which is what the OP is driving at. IME a program will find and use the faster connection at startup, but if the program is running on OTA and you connect wifi, a lot of programs won't switch to the faster connection. Again, that's just my anecdotal experience - it's hard to tell which connection is being used in real time.
I would like to set up a Wifi network so I can connect three mobile phones together. (No Internet)
Then I need to code my own program to transfer data between them.
Is this doable using Wifi hotspot tathering? Is that only what I want?
hi,
I have a nexus 7 wifi only and i use a 3g hotspot router with limited usage to connect when i am not home,when i am home i have a dsl connection without limit,i want an app to watch the data i use on each wifi network
thanks in advance
Hi:
In all my phones with pure android (Nexus 5, Nokia 8) whenever the phone connects to a guest wi-fi that needs authentication via a captive portal (Fonera wi-fi, for example), they keep the operator data connection active until i authenticate on the wi-fi network and get a internet connection.
On the OnePlus 8 i just got recently this does not happen. As soon it connects to the wi-fi network, it disables the operator network data and i loose internet connection until i authenticate on the wi-fi network. Is there any hidden option to correct this behavior?
Regards.
I have an RV that allows me to control everything their their app as long as I am connected to the RV's local WIFI network (which doesn't provide internet).
It is obviously a terrible design as I cannot access the internet if I want to stay connected to it.
I know that about the "Switch to mobile data" option, but this doesn't work as this disconnects me from that WIFI connection. So that means I actually have to put the connection as a "Network exception" if I want it to stay connected.
Is there any work around to stay connected to a WIFI connection, but use mobile data when on that connection?
(Samsung note 10+ Android 12)
Always thought
a carrier's cellular network ( a radio network distributed over land ) is used when sending / receiving mobile data,
an internet service provider's network ( accessable via router / access point ) is used when sending / receiving data to / from internet.
All Android apps have a default network. The system decides which should be the default network.
It depends on app's configuration what connections - if available - are to be used - even simultaneously.
