Hi guys.
I own a HTC Ultimate (HTC Titan here in Brazil) and I'm suffering for something that bothered me before in the Windows Mobile 'age'.
As the major users of smartphones, I keep my cellular connection always on and at home, or other places, I turn on my WIFI.
What happened is that, for some reason, the applications after a while stop using the WIFI connection. I know that because I often use EDGE instead 3D.
If I turn off the Cellular network, everything keeps running smooth.
Is anyone having the same behavior? I didn't see this in my HD7, as far as I remember.
Regards,
Cris

yep, I'm in.
For some reason, apps ( and browser) use 3G over wireless! I hate it and switch data to off :|
Will contact HTC to check soon.
The same for me ! I need to turn off cellular data to use wifi connection too often. I don't like it.

The Facebook is the champion. If I turn on Wifi and then open it, it will use the Wifi. If I got back and return to the App.. no more Wifi, only Cellular network.
This is the same thing on Windows Mobile. Microsoft should learn something from the competitor where they just keep one network running at a time!
What bothers me is that I don't remember this occuring in my HD7. Will put my SIM on it and try to see what happens.

Keep us updated please on HTC's reply. My 3G consumption is soaring every day
Evidence
I got an evidence yesterday that the OS is using Cellular Data while WiFi is on.
I used all my bandwidth on my plan, so Vivo as it's customers to keep a low speed or pay by MB used. This is done through the browser.
So I found that I was using the Cellular data while wifi is on when I opened the browser and receive the page from vivo asking me to choose wherever I wanna do use.
I don't know why MS still thinking that we wanna to shutdown thinks on phone to be able to use it properly. Why not implement like the others platforms where the OS just keep 1 way to connect to internet?
Amazing how they don't know how to advertise the product but know how to take away some pleasure to use the platform.
Hope they fix this in Apollo or a new OTA update. It's about time to show the users that indeed the phone can be updated OTA.

I do remember having this problem on my Windows Mobile but i have NEVER faced it with Windows Phone 7 on my Omnia 7! This is something related to HTC not Microsoft.
Quick Heads up, this is my message to HTC.
NOTE: HTC TITAN is not available on the device list, i chose the RADAR as it the one that is close to it. THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO HTC TITAN WINDOWS PHONE 7.5.
Dear Support,
Me and a lot of others who bought the HTC Titan Windows Phone 7.5 are facing a strange problem with 3G and WiFi.
For some reason, even when im connected to WiFi with internet connectivity the phone uses the Data Services from the Mobile Operator!
The fix is simple, go to settings > Mobile Network > Disable Data.
but it is actually not a solution.
This bug doesnt happen all the time, sometime traffic goes into WiFi as it should and suddenly it stopps and starts going thorugh the Cellular network!
I would love to know the reasons behind this issue (Not only me who is having it) and how to fix it (if we can do our selves).
If it is not possible to fix by my self, when HTC is going to release a fix?
Kindly note that this is NOT a Windows Phone 7.5 problem as i DO own a Samsung Omnia 7 with OS 7.5 and i dont face this problem.
Your quick reply is highly appreceated

Take a look at this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/start/connecting-how-and-when.aspx
"Your phone will typically choose a Wi-Fi connection over a cellular data connection when they're both available."
I'm afraid of this "typically". In my opinion, the correct way is to choose Wifi OR Cellular Data. One network at a time.
This week I will try to run some 'tests' on my HD7. I really don't remember having to switch of the celullar data to use correctly the wifi.
Keep us updated.

HTC Update
It looks like HTC has found the problem and is delivering an update for Titan. Can anyone confirm this?
Unfortunatly I own a Ultimate (Titan here in Brazil) and probably will take longer to Vivo test and delivery things =(
There is an update for the Titan, but I don't know if this includes the fix you are talking about, or if there will be another update?
Hello all,
I currently have the iPhone 4 and I hate it. I want to move up to the S3 but the only thing preventing me puling the trigger is tethering.
Currently I have a jail broken iPhone and MyWi installed for free tethering. Is there an alternative to MyWi for the S3? Can a rooted S3 be a WiFi hotspot (Infrastructure not AdHoc)?
Thanks in advance,

Rooting an android phone allows you tether without most carriers noticing.
Depends on carrier also

Ok, awesome answer!
Here is another question. Is there a TuT out there to root and tether? Is it AdHoc or Infrastructure? I need infrastructure as my stock Nook can not connect to AdHoc.
Thanks in advance.
Open Garden Tethering is amazing for a rooted phone. Kinda slow (but that's because my LG Ally is slow, and it only has 3G)
My phone has tethering built in as stock and yes it is infrastructure. My phone is from the UK if that affects your question
Some carriers in some countries like to remove or restrict the tethering option. If you're not in such a country then tethering ie. Portable Hotspot is available by default in Android. There is not need to root or install any special app.
When activated your phone will appear as a regular wireless network, ie. infrastructure.
@JSale i am awesome?
in addition we've set up a network on a demonstration with 10 sgs3 on the same tethered connection, so clients number is not limited to 5 like it was on sgs2
sorry, the language is hungarian

I think it may. Knowing the nickle and dime mentality of the US Carriers, I can see them disabling that function in the OS.
If it is built into the OS and then disabled by the carrier could a Rooted Device be re-enabled?

Has anyone had any issues with tethering with the S3? Used to have a GalaxyS on the Three network and it was fine. Got the S3 and it constantly drops net access. Connection between the phone and my laptop is fine, but there are issues with DNS server etc. and on the same network. had a new handset yesterday after advice and help from Three and Samsung and still the exact same issue.
They seem clueless. Does anybody have any idea what the issue could be and has anyone else had the same problem? Tethering via wifi hotspot or usb cable is the same.
Sorry, maybe I should mention that tethering is allowed on my plan.
Does anyone have any idea at all please?
anybody? anyone else had this issue?
i'm having issues with tethering.
If i set security to open it seems to be ok. With any level of security my windows 7 pc cannot connect via wifi.
i've read comments on other forums regarding problems with this.
I've not been able to test out my S3 tethering on 3 yet. Have you had any luck since? I have noticed that the connection while surfing on the phone keeps dropping though.

If you use an International Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) on AT&T you can tether for free anyway. You can also get away with paying $10 a month for Unlimited Internet.
No need for root. Tethering is already built into the menus.
Had to return the phone and cancel my contract in the end. Three uk say it's a software issue with samsung. I have flagged it with samsung.

Wireless tethering (called portable Wi-Fi hostpost in the settings) worked fine on my international unlocked phone out of the box (no rooting, installing apps, etc.). I'm a bit frustrated I can't connect to AdHoc networks though, but that's an android issue. At least I found a way to use my home computer's internet on the phone via usb with 'reverse tether'.
Tethering the S3
I seem to be having the same problem when tethering using the security option under ONLY ALLOWED DEVICES,
Security is configured under WPA, WPA PSK, and WPA2PSK, i get as far as adding these settings to the ALLOWED ONLY LIST, but when you go to connect on the Wi-Fi screen, and where it says Only Allowed Devices, it says NO DEVICES,
And so the only way to make it works is by using the OPEN option, but be warned this will allow outside users to tap in to your network.
Contacted Samsung on three occasions up to today, all they would confirm was that using the OPEN setting would compromise your security, ive asked them to confirm that the security Only Allowed option does actually work in real time , ive asked them to configure it at their end and tell me the step by step method.
will report back what they say.
I did take the phone back to the shop to get them to configure this secure setting, they failed and said try and cope with the open setting for now.
Reading the above posts that Three have said its a software problem doesnt sound good, sounds like im going to have to return mine as i do internet banking.
any news that you guys have on this aspect would be wellcome.
Cheers,
PS, i should say i am tethering to a Sony Vaio windowes 7
As usual, I am experiencing a very strange problem. My GT7510 is currenty running the Task "beginning" ICS ROM. It works great when I am at home. When I go on the road, I sometimes experience a problem where nearby open WIFI networks that I know are working do not display on my Tab. I can connect to these networks on my laptop, iPhone or my wife's iPad but they are invisible on my Tab.
The latest occurance was at a hotel that offered free WIFI. In order to access the network, I first have to open a browser and provide an access code. This is easily done on the other devices but since I cannot even see the network on my Tab, I cannot connect so the browser can give me the login page.
I have Googled the problem until my fingers are ready to bleed but have not found anyone with the same problem. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be going on?.
Now, having posted this problem, I can tell you that I stumbled on a work-around but I have no idea why it works. Just for fun, I activated the "personal hotspot" on my Jailbroken iPhone. This signal immediately showed up on my Tab. At the same time, the hotel signal suddenly appeared as well and I was able to connect to that signal.
I am hopeful that someone can shed some light on this strange problem for me. Thanks in advance.
Bump! I could really use some help with this problem.

Hey everyone, I wanted to put together a thread focusing on wifi issues of different variety and what we can do to potentially fix or workaround the main issues
I personally have been working on a solution for the discrepancy that disallows me to connect to my enterprise wifi at work, lollipop and previous versions connect just fine. So far ive found this issue. May not be easiest nor even possible for some of the issues some of us are having, but i think its worth working towards solutions.

What wifi issues? You might need nrw router.
I was able to connect via guest, then they had lock it due to bandwidth consumption. I have password since im a supervisor and my other phone (5.1.1) connects just fine. The nexus says saved, but when i click connect nothing, doesnt say obtaining ip or authenticating. Credentials are correct and connected before to same network without lock

Does your nexus connect fine to other wireless networks? How can you blame it on the device instead of going and fixing your work network settings instead? There are no wifi issues. Call an IT guy and he will fix your router.

Interesting, I just read through a lot (more than I can believe) of that issue log. It sounds like its technically not a Google/Android 6.0 problem even though the problem arose with the upgrade to 6.0. Have you considered doing what Nick suggested and reaching out to your enterprise IT administrators at work to see if they can or plan to do the necessary updates?

Yeah it connects to others but all devices lollipop and older including iphone and blackberry connect fine. And its known that android m has issues connecting to some wifi that works fine with all other devices. If you do a quick search youll see basically all 6.0 devices (nexus 6, etc) have same issues once updated to 6.0 (hit or miss depends on network they try to connect to, but same story just fine before update). The IT dept are not going to change settings on their network that works fine with 99.9% devices that people have there, since im only one so far with a 6.0 device (IT request MAC address when you get pass) it obviously is some sort of security policy within the os or something of that nature

Yeah, they are hesitant to change what works for almost everyone that connects to it. Also i think itd be a good thing to work on since most IT admin wont change for the very few with newer devices
On a side note i do feel like its more or less a cop out of them to claim its not 6.0 fault because when push comes to shove it works fine but once 6.0 it doesn't and nothing changed on the network
When I had my Nexus 5X, I had issues connecting to WiFi at home until I used the Network Settings Reset option under Settings > Backup and Reset. I think this issue came from the restore of settings during initial setup. Possibly worth a try.
Still, the issue I'm running into now is that my 6P only connects to one of the two routers at home. I have both broadcasting the same SSID though they're different brands and one's an older G router. On my Moto X running 5.1, the phone would connect to the strongest signal. Seems the 6P will only connect to one and never connect to the other. I've had the phone "forget" that one and connected to the other and then it refused to connect to the original. Very odd.
My point in saying this is that I wonder if there's a similar issue occurring in the OP's office. Though the same SSID is being broadcast, its as if the phone remembers the MAC address of the specific router it originally connected to and refuses to connect to any others. Just a thought.

Have you tried turning on developer options, scroll down and turn on legacy dhcp client under networking.
Yeah, ive tried that also
the fix in this thread might work, if you're rooted.

Tell the IT dept to upgrade their radius auth
I'm also having WiFi connection issues with eduroam (an often used protocol in UK universities) amongst other including my home dual band ac network. It locks out and can only be resolved by a reboot, which then takes 30-60 seconds to power off. Not normal or 'just an admin' issue. It seems to be software related as it is not constant nor predictable (ie it's not in certain areas and a reboot always reconnects). I'm unconvinced by the 'speak to your network admin' argument as it is neither useful or realistic and incompatible on my current patterns of usage or the issues being reported more widely.
My 6p works fine on my wi-fi router at home, but when I go over to my son's house, I have to go into Advanced Wi-Fi options and change the frequency band from automatic to 2.4 GHz only. Then I have to cycle my wi-fi off and back on. Then it will work on his router. Otherwise, it with keep trying to connect and fail every time.

Yeah, these are the issues (including the issue im having) that im talking about. Theres clearly issues with wifi on 6.0. Its not an issue with the hardware, nor is the solution "buy a new router" or "must be the settings on your companys network" granted most people can connect everywhere they've tried but if they tried where we cant connect or have issues they'd have same problem. Im thinking its a problem due to security policies or something along those lines but we should be able to alter, remove, or opt out of them at our own risk. Just thinking out loud.
Which build are you on? Mine ends in k. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3248499
So guys,
I don't know if everyone knows "fon", but it is a global wifi conection.
It has a public wifi network and we have to login to it by browser.
The problem is that on the Oneplus X the login screen doesn't even appear. If i try automatic login by the app i lose the wifi connection.
Anyone has the same problem?
Any thoughts?
Cheers
I've tried wifi connections via Starbucks and Transit (MTA Wifi) as well as my school wifi and they all require opening a browser to login, They worked fine for me. But I can't seem to detect my Gym's wifi, idk if it's my phone thats not detecting it or that the wifi isn't even there since I didn't have a buddy to confirm whether or not it was available. But the other scenarios worked fine.

I have a similar issue.
My previous device was a Nexus 4, and I used to get a notification that prompted for a login when ever it connected to public wi-fi (was the wi-fi icon with an exclamation mark next to it). Didn't need to open a browser.
No it may be that was a stock Android feature, but it worked really well.
On my OPx I have to open a browser and type a url before it will redirect to me to any wi-fi login page. It doesn't work if I refresh an existing browser page - I just get a message saying it can't connect. During all of this however, the wi-fi icon shows the 'connected' state. It's the one thing that really annoys me about this device, but very few people seem to mention it.
Yes. I think it's strange. Maybe we are the only one that use public Wi-Fi?
I've got same problem. Very annoying. Considering that free hotspot in our town has such login (actually just form with single button to connect), SSID same all over town and it automatically connect as soon it see such network and losing sync/connection to all background applications like messengers.
I'm currently battling with OnePlus Support about this issue, they somehow not fully understand issue :crying:
Well, maybe they don't have hot-spots in China or something... But we don't see so many people saying that they have this problem.
That's why oneplus don't care about it also
Hi, i have the same problem with autentication web page. The phone connect to network but the autentication page don't work.
Yes that is the problem i was talking about!
But i don't care now, thanks to MasterAwesome.
