Can anyone assist me with the steps in settings to disable the option of if the wifi is less than ideal, it switches to cell data? How does one make it stay on wifi even though the wifi isn't the best?
Thanks in advance

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)
I wanted to know the advantages of using Wifi calling other than coverage. Some question I had.
1. Does using wifi help with battery life? Does the cell radio turn off while wifi calling is enabled so as to save battery?
2. If so would using wifi be more battery efficient than cell radio?
3. Does text messages go through the wifi network when enabled?
4. Also if the wifi sleep policy is set to turn off on screen off... would it affect wifi calling when it is enabled?
Just some concerns I had about wifi calling before i use it. Help would be appreciated. Thank You
all i know wi fi callin will eat your battery due to poor programed program if u have wi fi callin this thing will eat battery even when off , i cant give u feedback on this one becasue i removed wi fi just for the reason stated ,
Could i use root explorer to remove the wifi calling app completely... so as to save battery? I'm on Trigger 1.5
Hi,
I have terrible 3G (UMTS) reception at my office, but good 2G (GSM), so to save battery and make the phone as usable as possible I switch to 2G when at work. I used to go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks and switch on "Use only 2G networks", and lately I've been using the "Toggle 2G/3G" function in the CM7 notification power widget.
However, it is slightly annoying to have to remember this toggle every time I enter/leave the office, so I'd really like to have an app that does this for me. Does anyone know of an app that can toggle 2G/3G based on either location or time? I'm using CyanogenMod 7.0.3 if that makes a difference.
I've tried a few different profile/setting switching apps, but none of them seem to be able to do this (while all can turn APN on/off, which I don't want. I want data enabled all the time, just over GSM part of the time). Even the apps that claim to have a toggle for 2G/3G seem to be just shortcuts to "Mobile Networks" settings.
Would really appreciate any helpful suggestions
You might consider buying Tasker. It can do what you wish even on a geolocation basis. So whenever you enter/leavr certain location proximity it will do whatever you set it to do.
Thanks, tasker does just what I wanted.
Hi my friends,
Im using a dropad a8x as my Cardroid, and i want to access it by wifi or 3G while the car is parked.
The problem is, if the screen goes off i lose all my connectivity, this includes both 3G and Wifi.
Is there a way to shutdown the screen but NOT lose the connections ?
Thanks for the help.
I didn't want to leave with replying,
Go to wifi/setting policy and change it to never. (Go to wifi settings and press menu and you will get the options)
Sorry, I can't be more clearly than this, no time for explaining.
eventual you have to activate "best wlan performance" (anything like this) in the same menu.
Well, thats already set
But when i push the button to turn off the screen it loose both 3G and Wifi connection.
Hi, I was wondering if there's an app/service that turns wifi on automatically when my mobile network is not giving me a strong data connection (at least 3g). and of course turn it back off when mobile network is available again.
I want to do this because I have an unlimited data plan, and this will save battery and give me a more secure (private) connection.
Anyone knows of such app/service?
Thanks
