Is anyone aware of an app that would be able to connect to a wireless network in order of preference?
for example, i have a home wifi network, and a wifi hotspot device. When i am at home i would like the prime to automatically choose the home wifi ssid over the hotspot ssid, but then when i leave home the prime would choose the next best option - my mobile hotspot device...
The reason i'm lookg for an app that does this is so that i dont run through my data on the hotspot if i forget to disconnect and reconnect to my home network?
thanks for reading!
Before I sent my prime in for rma it would automatically pick a WiFi AP based off the best signal strength.
i'll give that a go tonight - i'll leave the wifi hotspot device at the door and see if by phone and tablet change to the home wifi,

Anyone with the Amaze 4G for T-Mobile USA notice that it often doesn't connect to remembered WiFi networks even though they are in range and it will only connect if you go to view WiFi settings/networks under settings then it connects?
Also, anyone have any issues connecting to WiFi networks where the SSID is not being broadcast? I can get it to connect initially but it will never reconnect to a hidden SSID network that it "remembers"?
Using stock gingerbread ROM.
I notice this happens every now and then... I will have to open my WiFi networks, then before I can click on the network, it refreshes. It happens only rarely for me, but I have noticed it at times

had seen this on stock and faux kernel
I'm not talking about using my phones wifi to connect my phone to my home network. I got my internet shut off for a couple of days and want to use my phone as my internet for my house until I get cable back on. I know I could turn on the wifi tethering and have my devices use that but what I am trying to do is different. I have one of my roku players disengaged from my home network (an accident) and it will not reconnect to it (so I can stream my files from my PC) because when it goes through the testing on the roku it cannot access the internet on the home network, so it won't connect to my home network. My theory is that if I can connect my phone to my router, my roku will be able to connect to my home network because it will now have internet connectivity. I just don't know how to do it if its even possible.
I hope that makes sense.
I have a dlink dir-632 wireless n router, if it helps.

Thx but that's not going to help me with what I want to do. That's a packet sniffer/wireless network monitor software.
When i enable wifi hotspot or wifi tether it shuts down wifi. some apps do not communicate with same network even though it can ping each other.
Obviously, WiFi tether/hotspot needs the same WiFi transceiver that is used for WiFi reception, so they can't work continuously. You won't find any phone that doesn't have it the same way, because it doesn't make any practical sense to have both WiFi and WiFi hotspot on at the same time.
When you hotshot you can only share your mobile internet over wifi as the wifi of the phone cannot simultaneously receive and share Internet. You can only receive mobile internet and share wifi, hope that clears things up a little
Like it was said earlier, you can only choose to connect to the Internet or share it, not both at the same time.
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.
Hey all, I'm looking to prioritize wireless networks on my galaxy s7 from verizon. I have comcast and have access to their wifi hotspots. Unfortunately I have one of their wifi hotspots near my house and my phone will sometimes auto connect to that instead of my home's secured wifi. Is there anyway to set up a priority list of networks so my phone attempts to connect to my home wifi before any others. Thanks
