I was wondering since AT&T has disable use of the video phone on their network, could it be hacked to be utilized over WiFi?

Is this a limitation of the hardware platform, or a limitation of the OS?
Why can't the device automatically choose between whichever data stream is available? If I program in a secure WiFi network, isn't there a way to "force" the device to default to said WiFi network unless it isn't available? Then, simply use the GSM/GPRS/EDGE connection.
Thanx.
ne1?
I have been wondering about this too....
But, I have a question...in my college there is wifi everywhere..I currently don't have a data plan, is it possible to have the phone always use wifi?
So the if the phone connects over wifi it drops the data connection that might've been present on your phone network connection. Is it possible to configure your phone to maintain both wifi and 3G/HSDPA connections at the same time?
I require this because my operator provided (H3G UK network) Skype application only runs on 3G and I have to keep turning off wifi for it to work.
Funny, I find this feature great!! With my WM phones I never knew if it was using wifi or my data connection....even if you can do this how do you make one app use one connection over the other?

You can try droid wall, and configure it to block wifi for skype, it may solve your issue.

Hmm, doesn't sound like that will work, because the phone has already dropped the phone network data connection as soon as I get back home onto my home wifi network (due to prioritisation?) I want the phone to maintain both so I can receive incoming Skype calls at home with fiddling with my phone. I understand why the phone does it and it is sensible for it to do so in most cases, but just not for my usage requirements!
Is it a software/hardware limitation that wifi and phone network data connections can't be open at the same time?
Install Nimbuzz. It supports Skype without that bulls**t restriction. It doesn't support group chats though.

if WiFi is on, and 3G is on
the phone automatically uses WiFi first

I lose the "H" or "3G" notifier when the phone connects to wifi, that's why it looks like it's purposesly dropping the data connection once it picks up my wifi, I can't see a way to maintain both simultaneously.
I'm using "Skype for 3" provided by my network, it has special integration on the 3 network which allows me unlimited Skype usage (inbound and outbound) without it eating into my data plan. So with this benefit I don't really want to use an alternative app.
I want to keep Skype running all the time so I can receive calls on it, but once I get home, the wifi kills the "H"/"3G" connection, which means my Skype can't receive calls.
the icon isn't there but i think the data (H / 3G) is still running in the background, incase your Wifi fails.
wifi is the... PREFERRED network?
have you tried getting your friend to call you via skype while you're on wifi?
Hi,
I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from this forum, and I thank you.
Phone:Samsung Jack i637
App unlocked, network unlocked, No Data installed, Total Commander installed
I am having a problem that has started recently. I have app unlocked my phone and have NO DATA installed. I use my phone to access the internet only over wifi connections.
I have the YOU Tube app installed on my phone, and have been able to stream over the wifi without issue until recently. It always says connection error. No matter what videos I try to access I get that message. I even get them message trying to access the at and t mobi TV app.
I can still browse the internet via opera, but IE does not work via the wifi, but if I enable mediaNet, I can do anything I want at a ridiculous price!
How do I fix this. I have concluded that somehow At & T has made it so I can only stream video over their media net service. Or is there a setting I need to change?
It would be nice to just be able to carry my phone in my bag, so that when my tablet is within range of WiFi it uses that, but cal use my phone's 3G connection if wifi isn't available.
What's the best way to achieve this? A wireless hotspot from the phone? Or Bluetooth?
Wifi tether is best way to go. I would suggest foxfi because you can have a wifi password if necessary. Also a free app from the play
store, just be sure to watch your data limit!

Try Bluetooth tethering

Try install BlueVPN(ics client) from Google Play. Activate and pair your device with 3G phone. Launch BlueVPN, Selecet your 3G phone and BlueVPN will do the rest. Good luck
Pair your phone and your tablet. And you are connected.
Android phone ⇒ Nexus 7
Or enable wifi tethering

Does anyone knows how to make the Samsung i780 video call to work without having 3G connection? Such as to work with wifi? It would be awesome if someone could do this or have done it before. Thanks!
Anyone?
It is not possible to make it work via WiFi because the phone dialer will always use the cellular network. Your WiFi network is not connected to a Public Mobile Telephone System so it cannot interconnect you with the other cellular user.
What you can do is to use a Pocket PC video calling software. But on the other side they must also be using the same software as you, or a compatible one. I never tested but "http://fring.en.softonic.com/pocketpc" claims to support video.
