Hi,
i don't know if this is the correct board but I am searching for something like a WiFi Manager.
My Problem: Usually, I am using only my home network via Wifi and if I am on the road, i am using my mobile data plan. At my university there are some rooms, where i cant receive any mobile data connection. The only possibility to connect to the internet is via WPA2 WiFi but if I enter the settings for this network it also connects to this network any time I am in range of it (so when i am traveling through the city, it allways switches on an off and I dont get a stable connection.
Entering and deleting the university wifi anytime is a bit ugly so I am searching for a possibility, how I could enter my university-WLAN-Information but enable this network only, when I need it.
Thanks in advance,
Cmoe

I don't have any data on my mobile plan so I turned off data connection by going to
settings/menu/all settings/connections/advanced/select networks
I changed it to My ISP (from my provider).
but now I can't connect to the internet via wifi (at home or wifi hotspots).
Can someone please help me? What can I do to connect to internet via wifi?
Thanks
go into settings and remove the current wifi settings reboot then readd the correct wifi settings, pass word etc
I am on bionix 1.3.1 and have noticed that whenever I turn my wifi on it seems to not allow me data access. My web browser will not connect to a page, market won't load, and any downloads that were in progress will fail. it's as if turning on the wifi is overriding my data connection and blocking it. It says that it's connected in the menu though. Any advice?
Thanks
Edit: I just noticed when looking at my phone stats, that when I turn on my wifi my mobile network state says disconnected, and it connects again when wifi is turned off.
Also, I have an airport extreme and a mac, perhaps that is my problem. I've scoured the internet and found a bunch of info about this problem, but haven't found anything that works yet.

Im sure someone will correct me if Im wrong but if you switch from wifi to 3g while downloading the download usually will fail because you were using only wifi to download the content and when that turned off it doesn't just switch to using 3g you have to manually retry the download using 3g .... when wifi and 3g are on wifi doesn't speed up the 3g instead it does the internet related work and the 3g does the text and phone call related work
that makes sense, thanks. as for the connection problem, it is definitely mac related. my wifi seems to work on other networks. I just need to figure out how to make it work with the airport. It's just weird to me that it says it's connected and shows signal bars, but won't access the internet.

so is the new problem that the airport extreme won't give wifi to your phone or that its not working at all
According to my phone I am connected via wifi to my network from the airport, however, the phone cannot access any internet functions when connected. When I disable wifi, it works fine with 3g or edge. It seems to be something with the settings on my airport, not the phone itself.

That's surprising maybe this means apple products are biased
Hi I recently went to bangladesh for a holiday. I noticed that the apps can't connect to the internet. Apart from the internet apps e.g. opera, dolphin web browser these can connect to the internet. I had no issue with this when I was in the uk. I was wondering if it could be because since there is no 3g network in bangladesh my phone is using 2g network connection - edge connection. Could it be because of that? Also when I was in the UK my phone use to have HSDPA connection and all the apps work when it is connected via wifi.
Hmm strange issue.. Are you using stock SE rom? Are you sure that there is no 3g connection or maybe you disabled it?
I think its your.carrier, theres no way to prove it but who knows

If your phone is on roam, it won't connect unless you go into data settings and allow it to.
I have this problem to, and i have 3g connection but apps cant connect to the internet.
Enable internet while roaming. If problem persists then the carrier dosent support it.
I have purchased a S3 2 days back and i'm not able to access internet through my wi-fi where as my other friends phone can access like Nokia, Htc, etc........
Please help me.
It is unrooted and i have rebooted my router and also my device.
Reply ASAP.
I am having the same problem.
Do you pick up any AP's when you scan?
Yes picks them all up but connection is too weak to work. Have turned off power save in phone settings menu and that works but drains battery.
Yes, it scans all the nearby networks.
it even connects to the AP, and it will show the upload and download sign but when i try to access internet through browser, it shows " Your ADSL is down, please check ADSL is plugged correctly"
Though i can use internet through my PC. .
Not sure if this post is a "troll trap" BUT from my experience
Could not connect to Nokia E7 (with Joikuspot - adhoc / WEP)
But I can connect to ALL other WPA/WPA2 routers at home, work, coffeeshops
I would suggest downloading "Wifi Analyzer" from google play. Then scan and see what you get and try to connect. Also go to local mall / coffeeshop / McDonalds and try to connect to OPEN or CLOSED hotspots.
The phone should NEVER give a message about "ADSL"..
My wifi works on public places but in my home AP its not accessing. :crying::crying:
Hi everyone, I have a question that i can't quite seem to find an answer to any where i look.
I am a recent android convert, i had ios on my iphone and ipads for many years. I use a wireless hard drive that has its own wifi signal, which i connect my devices to. The problem with doing this is that the device thinks then that it should get all of its internet from that wifi connection, which of course, being a hard drive, it does not have.
To get around this what i have done is go in my IOS configuration and remove the "default gateway" or "router" or whatever you want to call it (depending on your networking background), and then iOS knows to go ahead and not use wifi and continue to send any non local traffic over LTE.
My Samsung Note 5 doesn't seem to want to do this. First thing, when i try to remove the router/gateway from the ip address configuration in wifi, the "save" button is grayed, meaning i cannot save a blank gateway. I located an app on the app store called "wifi settings" which was suggested to use to set the router to nothing, but still this did not work, really what it did was save a 1 in the router/gateway field and caused nothing to work, not even local traffic.
The Note 5 has a "smart network switch" option which is apparently to detect a poor wifi signal and switch to LTE, if i enable this, the phone does realize that the wifi connection to the wifi hdd doesn't have an internet connection, but terminates the wifi connection, thus killing my connection to my hard drive.
My question, does anyone know how to configure the wifi on android to access local resources via wifi while still using the 3g/4g connection for internet traffic?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much.
