Hi,
I am using WModem quite often, because have 1meg internet from T-Mobile, so half of the day and all the night my phone is connecting me to the world. Sometimes , when for example quality of connections changes from 3G to G or from different case, modem is disconnecting (stopping). That's really annoying.
Have anybody heard about automatically reconnect option ?
Not in the computer , that has to be phone option (WModem option actually).
Folks,
I use the WiFi connection on the Exec a lot, pretty much all day every day in fact. The problem is I have to change the power settings of the phone to never shut down otherwise when it does, the WiFi connection gets dropped and the a GPRS gets established instead - and that costs!
Is there anyway to prevent the WiFi getting dropped when the phone shuts down? Or maybe a way of making WiFi a priority over GPRS so it will connect that first?
I suppose worse case scenario, I could disable the auto connect feature of GPRS, anyone remember the hack for that?

Hi, there's a hack for that in the following thread:

I have noticed that when I am turning off my WIFI connection and I forgot to turn off Opera the phone starts connecting via GPRS. Since I don't have a limitless data plan I would like to get a question before connecting to GPRS. Is there a way to do this?

Ditto.
I've tried creating a 'dummy' connection and it'll happily say the default network is 'dummy'... And then connect via Orange WAP. I'm tearing my hair out... :/

Hello Everyone,
I have the following problem with my Xperia 10. Whenever I am in location where the 3G signal is not strong enough my phone changes to GPRS network (Normal). When I'm in location where 3G signal is strong my phone would take a while to change to the UMTS (3G) network. When it does, the phone does not automatically connects to the internet. When I start my browser it says that I don't have a internet connection.
I contacted Sony Ericsson helpdesk and they said it is well known bug in the android phones and the only way to connect back to the internet is by shutting off all wireless connections and putting back on. I find this to be "neat" work around but I find it annoying that I have to do this all the time. I'm not convinced that this is bug because I have some friends who have the HTC hero and desire and they have never heard about this before.
Can somebody tell me if this is actually a bug in the Android phones or is it just the X10?
Hey all,
Done some searching but cant find a clear and striaght forward answer.
Bascially, on my old HTC Dream (Android) wifi would always be searching for a wifi to connect to (and if it found a network, it would tell me). if it was a network it had acess to, then it would automatically connect.
Otherwise, it would just use my contract internet.
So I was wondering, on the HD2, you always have to manually turn wifi on. Then say I leave the house, manually turn it off for it to connect to the contract internet.
Pretty small thing - but it gets annoying after a while.
Is there a way (reg edit or app) to make wifi do the same as the android did?
Thanks!
Bump.
I am interested in this too. I am trying to assemble a Mortscript to do it.
would be so helpfull.
I have my home network, Uni network and girlfriends that I can connect to. Now having to manually connect each time, and then disconnect from wifi when I leave is pretty annoying

This must be a rom issue. What ROM are you using?
My HD2 Wifi will connect automatically to networks I have connected it to before, it will notifiy me of available wifi, it will use cell data when wifi is not connected. Works to me the same as how you described your HTC Dream.
Just the stock one that comes with the phone.
to make my point slightly clearer...
I am at home with my Wifi turned on and connected.
I leave my house and go outside of the wifi range.
My phone still has the wifi icon at the top, but it wont be connected.
Therefore I have to turn wifi off to let it connect to my contract internet.
Maybe Wefi will solve that problem?
On Symbian worked very well.

I shall look into this, cant belive others dont get annoyed at it tbh
I'd like a solution to this too. I have found it annoying since settings my HD2. I haven't had any success with the solutions suggested in the forum to date.
actually guys.. there is another thing.. how about a cab that would force HD2 to open WIFI automtically to update weather/facebook..etc... whenever the any apps needs updating, then shutting the WIFI automatically off instead of trying to connect to 3g. you guys think its possible?
Mine always lets me know when I can connect to wifi.
Guys theirs does too. You dont get what they want.
When wifi is turned on it will search and connect only to wifi. It will not connect to wireless network of provider. So they want a program that would turn wifi off (which would let HD2 to connect to EDGE and 3G) if there was no place to connect to. And it would turn wifi connection back on (dissable 3G and EDGE) when there would be a wifi network to connect into. You get it now? It would neeed quite sophisticated program to switch betwen those two modes.
I dont use Providers network (3G, EDGE) but would like program that would check for avaible WIFI networks that I have access to and Connect to them to get updates (it would check for example every 10min) and connect to it only to get updates and SYNCH. then disconect and wait cca 4hours to start looking for wifis in 10min intervals. Would be nice =)

Then it must depend on the ROM version, but for me it works exactly how he wants, and always has. I never turn Wifi off. If I'm at home within my wifi range and load a webpage, it loads it through wifi. If I walk away, wifi connection gets lost, and I press a link, it will load it with the data connection straight away. If I walk back home or to another place where a known wifi is present, wifi reconnects by itself.
