The topic says it all.
Is there a way to keep 3G & Wifi enabled at the same time ?
Or is it possible to control the stack routing table, to control when to change from Wifi to 3G(Signal Strength, battery level, ...).
My goal is to make a smooth transition from 3G to Wifi and Wifi to 3G, so they must be enabled together for a short period of time.
As tested in this thread : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5974482
When Wifi is turned on, rmnet0 in the routing table table disappears, and reappears when disabling WIFI.
So as I can't retain rmnet0, I can't manage the routing table as I want.
If I'm missing something please let me know.
Thanks.
I keep both wifi and mobile enabled all the time on my phone.
Go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy > Never.
Then make sure wifi and mobile are both enabled on your phone.
That setup gives you wifi hookup whenever wifi is available, and mobile connection when wifi isn't available. You're always connected to one or the other, even when you're on the move, and the switching is seamless and transparent.

Nice tip.
Thanks
Thanks, but isn't there a way to control and manage this.
For example, both are enabled with sleep policy and everything done like you just said.
So I am on 3G network, detect WIFI, but don't want to connect to it, due to certain parameters, like battery, signal strength, ...
Or can I just rely on the automatic switching when WIFI is detected nearby ?
Don't know if you guys know this or not. But having WiFi conected gives you the ability to be on the phone and web at the same time.

This seems like I've got something setup wrong. When I am in my office, my phone works great and it connects using the WiFi here. The problem comes what I leave the office and go someplace that doesn't have WiFi. If I want to connect to the internet for example, I have to go to settings->connections->connections->advanced->select networks-> and then change from "My work Network" to verizon wireless. Of course, when I get back to work (or anywhere with a wifi connection) I have to remember to change the phone back to "My work Network".
Is there a way to automate this?
As a second question, some apps seem to always use the data connection even if the phone is on a wifi connection already. Is there a way to change this behaviour as well?
Anybody? Seems like something everyone could use.
I am not sure how you have your device set up or which rom you are using, but my device does not behave in this manner.
My device is almost exactly opposite. It is always connected to data network unless I force it to use wifi. I have not messed with any settings besides setting up my wifi connection. Interesting.

I'm using DCD's ROM. And your issue sounds exactly like mine. It stays on data until I force it onto WiFi and then it will stay on WiFi until I force it on data. Kind of a pain if you ask me.
1st Question - Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> WiFi -> Menu -> Advanced and select your "Turn Off WiFi opition if not connected in __"
2nd Question - Idk, but I want that too, so that when I turn on my WiFi, my data connection turns off, and when I turn my WiFi off, my data turns back on, but I haven't found anything for that yet.
after the 2.2 update from htc my Wifi isn't stay always as i have set it but after lockscreen it power off.Thats a bugger when i want to be on the wifi connected all the time.
any ideas?is it a bug a missing-miss configured setting?
i want to be always on .
thanks.
Go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Wi-Fi > Menu Button > Advanced > Wi-Fi Sleep Policy > Change to "Never"
Note: Even inspite of this, many report issues with re-connection, but, the problem is reduced a lot.
I want to get Android (and perhaps my google account) to forget all WiFi networks I've used. I can't remove them from Settings > Wireless and Networks > WiFi Settings because this menu no longer responds when I have WiFi enabled, and I can't see the list of networks when WiFi is disabled.
Anyone got any ideas?

neidlinger, you've just made my day. I've been trying to get this fixed for a while. It's caused all kinds of problems for me - one time it even randomly rebooted and removed all my widgets. Many thanks!
I am having issues with my wifi. After it has been in sleep mode for a while it will not connect properly. The WiFi is connected to a network but the icon is grey, not blue and will not actually do anything.
Another post suggested to turn off the Google Wifi scan but it was already off when i went to change the setting in advanced WiFi settings. Any other suggestions I could try?
Wifi - Settings - Advanced - Keep WiFi on during sleep -> Always
Wifi - Settings - Advanced - WiFi optimization -> turn it off
check those two, could help.
As the title suggests, my phone will not connect to known WiFi networks if I do not wake the phone myself.
Image being away from home, having both mobile data and WiFi enabled. The screen is off throughout the whole time and when I reach home it is supposed to connect to my WiFi. Instead, it connects to my WiFi only if I wake the phone. If I leave the phone sleeping (standby) it will stay on mobile data, unless I wake the phone myself.
Is this regular behaviour?
PS. The phone has not problem retaining connection to WiFi networks when sleeping. It just won't make a new connection even to know networks.
There is a setting in wifi settings under advanced where you can change how and when the wifi must be on/off.

If you mean "Keep WiFi on during sleep", I have it enabled already!
Have you played around with power saving settings?
