If you are connected to your Wi-Fi connection your data plan for your phone will not be used. And vice-versa, if you are not connected to Wi-Fi your data plan will be used.
Great, thats just how I want it
Thanks

How can I use WI-FI to connect my O2 Orbit 2 Xda to the internet instead of Mobile Data when I am at home?
I have Mobile Internet as my free bolt on from O2 and the Mobile Data works well.
However at home I have a Linksys wireless router and I want to connect my Xda to the internet using my home wireless network to take advantage of the faster data speed.
Getting my Xda to connect to my wireless router seems to have been very easy. It says it is connected and shows a full set of green bars.
Having turned off Comm Manager / Data Connection when I use IE / Email / MSN etc from the Xda, Comm Manager / Data Connection turns back on and establishes a connection and the Xda uses Mobile Data not WI-FI.
With all the collective expertise in this forum I had hoped I would get a reply / answer to this problem by now
what problem are you having? I've got my orbit 2 talking to my BT home hub no probs. When I got it, I simply switched on Wifi from comms manager, it found my wireless network and I entered the WPA key and hey presto - off it went.

My Orbit 2 will connect to my home network (Linksys WRT300N) no problem.
However when I collect email or surf the web etc my Orbit 2 decides it would rather use my Mobile Data and not the WIFI.
My mobile data is the FREE bolt on from O2 so it is not costing me any thing extra, however I would like to use WIFI at home because it is faster, and because I should be able to.
Hi
I was wondering can i use the wifi to connect to my mobile data connection?
I basically want to turn the phone into a router and connect from my laptop to the phone and use the mobile data connection to use the internet.

Hi Guys,
I am having Wifi in my home with unlimited download plan. In my wildfire, the GPRS plan is restricted to download.
So, i like to use only Wifi when i reach home. I do not want to use GPRS even when the Wifi signal is weak... How to switch on GPRS on/off??
Can somebody guide me to do this...
Thanks for your help
If I got you properly, isnt it working by going to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Uncheck Data Enabled ?
Alternatively, a Power Control Widget for Mobile Data also works perfectly fine.
Or search in the market for the app Y5. I think it does exactly what you want. It will remind the wifi networks you connect to and use the wifi network if you are
in range. When you are out of range it will use gprs / UMTS.

hold down the power button and it brings up a menu from were you can turn gprs data off.
an app called widgetzoid can be used so you can turn on/off mobile data easily.
there is both a free and paid version of this app on market
both will do the job just fine
I tried to search but couldn't find definitive answer. My issue is opposite to general trend to switch off mobile and use wifi only.
I have apple TV without any internet connection (i.e. no modem connected to it) which I use to steam video/audio and it acts as an AP. I use Twonky on G-Tab (P1000) and it requires wifi for it to work. OK, fine. It does work on wifi and steams to Apple TV no issues, but as long as I am connected to wifi network, I can't use internet on my Tab (as I quoted above, my this Apple TV AP wireless network is without any internet connection, so I can't have net over it unless I buy a wired ADSL modem along with data plan and then connect it ti Apple TV). I have a reasonable mobile data plan on Tab's SIM and it works all time, except when I connect to any wireless network. Here's the catch, dumb Samsung thought that all and each wirless network always has internet connection or if there is a wireless network, it must have had internet connection! But anyway, this annoying behaviour prevents me from accessing net over mobile data plan as long as I am connected to any wifi network, be it has internet or not.
I tried and serached and also explored setting on my rooted tab, but no luck?
Any thing am I missing?
i have asked the same question here lla while back. its not possible to enable both wifi and mobile data at the same time

It's not so much dumb Samsung, as just the way Android works.
The following link details how this can be achieved, but only by modifying AOSP source and recompiling Android from scratch.

Can't you do it the other way around by enabling a mobile hotspot to your Tab, and connecting your Apple TV to this instead?

Yes, that would be the final option to use tab as MobileAP which would be a forced one, not a choice.

Hi all,
When connected to a WiFi network (isolated intranet, no internet access), Android seems to assume it's useless, and directs all data through the 3G/4G network.
For example:
- 3G/4G mobile data enabled.
- WiFi enabled, connected to intranet and is allocated a 192.168.4.xxx address.
- Android detects WiFi connection has no internet access, so i get the WiFi logo with the X through it, and a notification saying so.
- I open the web browser on the phone, try to connect to http://192.168.4.1, which times out as Android is trying to connect to that site via the mobile network.
- So I disable mobile data.
- Now when I open the web browser on the phone, try to connect to http://192.168.4.1, the site loads as it should.
It appears Android is trying to be too smart for its own good, and just completely disregards the WiFi connection if internet access isn't present.
Does anyone know how to fix this so it follows normal packet routing rules?
Thanks.

Hello
When you have activated the mobile data and you are on a intranet Android it´s smart and connect you to internet. I know that it a very boring thing but is an system specification. I´m a IT admin an on my enterprise occurs the same. The only possible solution is to shut down mobile data if it not neccesary and connect to the intranet both things are not possible.
Best Regards
