Switch to 2G when connected to Wifi

hi,
is there a way that my phone automatically switches from 3G to 2G, when connected to a Wifi network?
I figured, the only reason why I need 3G, is because of the fast mobile internet connection......which I wont be using anyway, while I'm connected to a Wifi-Network
so it would make alot of sense to switch the cellular network from 3G to 2G, to save battery....
is there an app for that?
okay, well...tasker can easily do that
I think I got my solution

Can I bypass my mifi hotspot's "login to wifi network" popup?

I just purchased a MiFi 500 LTE from Freedompop and have been playing around with it. It seems to work good of what I need, but I have one annoying thing I would like to see if I can bypass.
Each time I connect to the mifi, my phone (nexus 5 running stock 5.1.1) first shows a wifi icon with an exclamation point and then pops up a notification asking me to manually connect to the wifi network. Sometimes, the phone will go on and connect anyway after a few second delay. Sometimes, however, the phone will not connect, and I have to tap on the icon. When I tap on the icon, a blank page will appear. Sometimes, the blank page will immediately disappear and the phone will connect to the network automatically. However, sometimes it will not, and I have to tap on three dots in the top right corner where my options are to not connect to the network or to connect to the network as is. When I chose to connect to the network as is, it connects.
Does anyone know the cause for this? Is there some setting that I have wrong on the hotspot? Or, is this just they way these mifi hotspots are supposed to work? I was hoping it would be as seamless as connecting to my wifi router at home, where it just connects automatically as soon as it is detected.
Thanks

I can't connect to camera wifi bc it says no internet ! Please help.

Hello. I have Moto g 2015. I have updated my ph to android 6 official over wifi. Problem I am facing is that I can't connect to any wifi device which has no internet.
I bought a Nikon d5500 camera with wifi. When I connect my ph and camera ....it stays connected for 1 minute or less then it shows me a warning that it has no internet and then it gets disconnected!!
How do I stop it from getting disconnected?? Please help me !! ((
Go to WIFi settings and "forget" your Nikon camera's WiFi network, then connect again, in the notification dropdown there should be a message that saus "Nikoncamera WiFi has no Internet connection. Stay connected to this network?" and there is also a tick box that is something like always do this.
It won't pop up these prompts, you have to find them in the notification pull down, and before the phone normally times out and disconnects.

"Auto switch to mobile data" option

Hi All
Was wondering if someone can help me out. I have a WiFi compatible dash camera and to get footage from it without removing the microsd card i need to connect to it via WiFi. But because the connection doesn't have a internet connection it doesnt stay connected.
I have come from a OnePlus phone to the 4a (my first ever google phone) and i cant seem to find this option anymore. Was just so handy to be able to connect to the camera via WiFi while still having mobile data.
Was this a OnePlus only option? Or was it removed or moved in A11? Anyone able to point me into the correct direction?
Thanks in advance
If I understand correctly, I think you are wanting to put the phone in hotspot mode. That would allow the camera to connect as if your phone is a wireless router using your phone's data connection. You'll need to swipe down twice from the top to show quick options. If you don't see one called Hotspot, swipe to the side to reveal additional quick options. I know this works on unlocked Pixel 4a phones.
Hope this helps.

Nah not quite right. The dash camera has its own WiFi hotspot which you can connect too to view the footage and saved videos etc. But because there is no internet connection the pixel wont stay connected, the only way i can connect to it is to put my phone into airplane mode and connect to the camera.
I'm just trying to find out if its possible to stay connected to the dash camera via WiFi and still remain connected to my mobile data at the same time.
I remember an option in the one OnePlus phones where you can allow the phone to determine which connection is better, WiFi or Mobile Network, and it will connect to that. For example if i would connect to my home network and moved just on the boarder of it it would flick over to 4G so that i would still have some sort of internet connection while still connected to the WiFi so that when i would get back in range it would just flick over.
So what im trying to do is the same thing. Because the dash cam doenst have a internet connection i want to be able to connect to the dash cam with no internet connection but still use my mobile data as my internet source.
This is what it looks like in the OnePlus phone https://forums-images.oneplus.net/attachments/1180/1180298-d92e7795edbf40894ba4164fe89fc486.jpg which is obviously not present in the Pixel under Settings > WiFi > WiFi preferences.
Thanks
I don't see it here. I used to have that setting as well on my LG G7.

Question AutoWear for turning on LTE only when Galaxy Watch 4 is disconnected from Wifi/ Bluetooth

Hello everyone,
Is there a possibility to use AutoWear to turn on LTE only when the watch is no longer connected to the phone via bluetooth or wifi? I'm sure this will save battery life. One presumption is that calls over wifi to the watch would work. If they don't, not much point of turning off LTE.
I read a few posts stating that AutoWear for Wear OS 3 may not be properly optimized. Is this still the case?
I found a similar topic posted in r/AndroidWear 4 years ago and at that time, the developer had said that this isn't possible as they didn't have access to the LTE radio. Does anyone know if that's how things still are?
Thank you
No need for this. There is an "auto" option under mobile networks on the connection settings on the watch that does exactly what you say.
Oh that's brilliant!
Does it still stay connected to the network and turn off mobile data or does it pretty much go on airplane mode with only wifi and bluetooth being on?

It disables network connection shortly after you are connected to your phone via Bluetooth or Wifi.
Just to add that the same happens with Wifi. You can either fully deactivate it or have it on an auto setting where it turns on only if you are not connected to your phone via BT or for apps that required Wifi such as downloading songs on Spotify
That's exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks a lot for confirming this.
So essentially, if the watch is always connected to the phone, there shouldn't be much of a difference in the battery life between the LTE and non-LTE versions
There is only one problem - for me, setting LTE to car consumed 30% of the battery in 1 day, even though it did not lose the BT connection for a moment (maybe max 5 minutes).

Sorry, I didn't understand. Setting LTE to car? What does that mean?

I'm sure the author of the posts made the mistake. he wanted to say that the galaxy watch 4 has an error at the moment (01/21/2022)? at least for me, the bluetooth is connected, but the LTE connection stays connected as well, so the battery uses both BT and LTE, although my active2 when BT is connected, the LTE connection disconnects automatically ... although on the galaxy watch 4 the LTE connection is set to connect / disconnect automatically
