Hey hello,
On the Nokia E75 it is possible to do the following:
Use 3G all the time, but when there is a known Wlan in the area, shut down 3G and switch to Wifi.
This means, that outside or on the road you use 3G (or GPRS..) and inside you use Wifi.
Is it possible to let the Touch2 do the same thing?

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?
This is maybe a dumb question but would it be possible to somehow enable 3G on this HTC?
I notice the 3G icon when I get connected online but the download speed is still based on GPRS and really slow to browse the internet as you might have noticed.
Any thoughts on this matter?
My download is based on GPRS too and it's very slow, but sometimes it connect in Edge! And is more faster! I appreciate is somebody know how to connect with 3G
Ps: sorry for my bad english!
The Pharos does not have the necessary hardware for 3G networks. You are and always will be stuck with Edge on this phone. Unless someone finds and manage to activate a possible WLAN chip.
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.

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 everybody;
I need an app or a trick which allows me to use dual mode when i'm not using a data connection but at the same time, when i need to use it, it connects solely in 3G mode.
Is it possible? does it exist?
Thank You!
Does anyone have a problem with internet connection when connected on 3G with weak signal?
It seems that phone prefers 3G even when signal is so low that internet just doesn't work. I had to turn it off and my internet connection now always work, but EDGE is as fast as I can go. It's really annoying.
I noticed it, but when i try to change signal manually (##634# and *#2263#) i see that Edge signal is low as 3G, so i think it is not a problem.
I use wifi for internet but I have that problem at my house, 3G is very weak and it only works in a couple rooms. Can't text in other rooms unless it's on edge but it always tries to connect to 3G.
I had to use Samsung Tools to enable the 3G switch in settings. I turn it off when I'm at home and so far it has been working great.
