I was wondering if anyone might know how to fix this. The problem seems to be that when I am connected to the carrier's network (AT&T) and have wifi on at the same time it still just uses the cell connection. I have an app that I have set to only download data via wifi (dogcatcher) and if I have both connected it won't download anything because it doesn't see itself connected to the wifi, but if I go into airplane mode and turn wifi on it works just fine.

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
My Razr connects very quickly to my wifi at home and works speedily but with 30 seconds - 2 minutes all data transfer stops. I still have a signal and the bars are blue but I receive a failure to load and can't get any data to work until I cycle wifi on off or go back to the network. Any ideas on a router setting or something I can do to fix this? Every other device I have connected works flawlessly.

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

Hi,
You probably already noticed that by your self..
When you're downloading something over 3G, and you turn the WIFI on during the process, there is no problem because it authenticates and connects the WIFI network and meanwhile keeps the 3G still alive.. it only shuts it off when the WIFI is completely connected and therefore the download is not hanging off..
Unfortunately it was not programmed backward.
When you are on WIFI and turning off the WIFI to move to 3G, or perhaps when you were at home and now walking away the range and so it automatically disconnects it, so it leaves the WIFI first and few seconds later it trigger the 3G and connect it..
During those few seconds you lose the connection and if you were on downloading process it hangs off..
So I was thinking, why not force the 3G on, connects, and only then, hang off the WIFI..
Any app that can do that? or any developer that might wanna pick up the glove?
I'm sure it will help few others but me..
Thanks ahead!
