Hi.
I like my Gear S and it works fine. Anyways, there is one weird feature.
If I have enabled Wi-Fi and my 3G is set to automatic, the watch can't connect to 3G after losing Wi-Fi connection. If I disable Wi-Fi, 3G connects pretty fast and remote access works.
Have you had this issue? Is this a feature that should work like this or is it a bug?

Hi,
If WiFi is enabled does it prevent the 3G/2G from working & vice-versa ???
Or is my phone signal just too weak
Thanks
Phil
if you are connected a wifi network, then 2g/3g data is turned off
I see....so will some apps only work with 2G/3G or will they all use WiFi easily?
Reason I ask is I was trying to use G-Backup and it just froze, so I thought perhaps it could only upload on 2G/3G and not WiFi ? Or am I being silly
Thanks
Phil
All apps *should* use wifi easily. At the end of the day, its just an alternate data connection (the phone automatically routes data to the wifi or 3g/2g depending on what is available anyhow)
is there a way to use the wifi network just for lan and the 3g network for internet at the same time?
i'll explain my issue:
when i connect my phone to my odb2 dongle using wifi i can use the odb2 interface but i have no access to internet...
while driving i'd like to record my car activity and use internet as well.
so i need wifi on to connect to the odb2 (but no internet access)
and 3g to use internet at the same time.
i've googled it but unsuccesfully.
do you have any suggestion?
ps: my device is a note3 (unrooted)
bye
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.
Specifically, why is it that some features which only like to work over Wi-Fi, such as screen mirroring from my phone to my PC, will not use the Wi-Fi hotspot connection from the same device? I noticed similar issues trying to set up a Chromecast without a router. I do not have home internet, only my phone. It seems to me that the programming for something like this should be incredibly easy. Have the hotspot treated as a Wi-Fi network with an API, so apps that specifically need to use a Wi-Fi connection can just use that. Why wouldn't this work?
Galaxy S10+, latest Android update from my carrier.
While hooked to any Wi-Fi that doesn't serve internet (my camper accessories, for example, are controlled by the wifi, but serves no internet connection), it allows very little data to function until I shut the wifi back off or end the connection to the camper.
I have my settings set up to keep mobile data active and also have aggressive wifi/mobile data handoff enabled.
Does anyone have a fix or any suggestions? It's really frustrating as I a few other devices that require a wifi connection to control but don't serve internet access.
Thanks in advance!
