I connected to an hotel wifi and I am getting a weird symbol for the wifi at the notification bar. It is like the hotspot symbol inside the wifi symbol. What is the meaning? Because I do not have enabled the hotspot or wifi sharing. Thanks.

That is shown when the wifi that you are connected to is a hotspot WiFi network, for example try to share the wifi from you laptop to your phone by creating a hotspot on your laptop and connecting to it you will have her same symbol it just means that is not a router wifi connection but rather a hotspot .
Thought that was the slow WiFi so phone decided to use mobile data icon

I have noticed that when I turn Wifi on, the 3G symbol on my status bar disappears. Does this mean that my phone will use the Wifi connection instead of the 3G connection?
Is there some way that I can setup my phone to NOT use 3G/EDGE when Wifi is connected?

Well, AFAIK, you could always fully toggle 3g/EDGE using the Quick Settings app from the market.

togle 3g ftw and togle 3g for the president for saving my battery .
Yes. If you turn on wifi you are no longer using 3g and the 3g symbol will go away. The wifi symbol takes place because you are now solely using wifi.

Perfect! Thanks!!
Hello. I have a problem with my O1 Wi-Fi tethering feature. After enabling it, the mobile internet connection restarts (the data indicator turns off, then on again). My phone and connected devices don't have net. Only the up arrow of the icon blinks in white. After I disable the tethering, I have to restart the data connection to have net again... Any help????
Hi guys I upgraded to telus's official ICS, then rooted, and installed the h0tkernal r1a. Anyway after all that I tried to connect to wifi and no go. My wifi icon is showing a capital N with a small wifi symbol beside it, any help would be appreciated.
Edit, ok so I shutoff wifi, turned on wifi direct, shut off wifi direct, turned off NFC, turned on wifi and it connected. Now I have the regular wifi icon plus the N with the wifi symbol what is that N icon?
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.
i have an android radio and i connect my sony phone to it via a hotspot and the wifi icon switches off and radio will have internet but sometimes my phone looses internet so i miss some messages and i cant use internet on phone is there a reason why this happens?
