Is there a way to set up my phone to disconnect from wi-fi when the signal is weak instead of non-existent? When I get out in my yard my phone still picks up the wi-fi signal from my router but the connection is so weak that I get data connection errors. I'd like to set a minimum -db so that unless there is a strong connection it'll switch to 3g.
set your router
You can try to add an AP so that you can get strengthened siginal at you yard...

I have a wireless network at home.
Although WiFi has excellent signal strength, during browsing it suddenly wants to connect via GPRS.
When I cancel this connection attempt, the page does load, so WiFi is working fine.
Does anyone have a solution?
I found some related topics, but that made WiFi the preferred connection, and that's not what I want.
Because I mostly use GPRS, but on the occasions I do have a WiFi connection, it must use that connection, and not switch to GPRS.
usually its just a quick hiccup in the wifi signal

Buts its really annoying.
hmmm try the wifi G hack
Go to settings/connections/connections/advance/select networks/and in both fields change it to my isp/then hit ok/ok/ok.
That should fix it- :wink:
I recently installed GPRS Traffic monitor which shows me how much traffic is passing over my HSDPA connection and I noticed something strange.
Sometimes when I have a solid wifi connection my HSDPA traffic figures shoot up while I'm browsing. I discover that the reason for this is that in settings->connections->connections advanced->networks the default connection for applications has been set to be "Contract WAP" even though I had previously specifically set it to "My Work Network".
OK, so I change this setting back to be "My work network" and Opera starts using the wifi in preference to HSDPA and only switches to HSDPA when the wifi is no longer available. Perfect.
Except that a few hours later I notice that the HSDPA traffic is shooting up again even though I have a strong wifi connection. I go back and check the settings and the default connection has reverted to "Contract WAP". I didn't do this - it happened automatically.
This has been happening for a while now and I think the cause may be the crappy cell reception where i live. Occasionally the phone loses the signal from Vodafone but a few seconds later gets it again and re-registers with the network automatically (I know this happens because if I turn off auto-network-selection I keep getting asked to select my network). My suspicion is that this re-registering is resetting my default network connection.
This may also be why occasionally I seem to lose my 3G connection settings and have to run the connection setup wizard again.
This is really annoying me because I have to keep checking the settings before any major browsing session to ensure I don't blow my monthly 3G bandwith.
Does anyone have any experience of this problem or advice on how to fix it.
Cheers,
David
One irritation I have with the HD2 is that it won't automatically connect to my home WiFi when I have been away from the network. I have WiFi set to switch off of it doesn't connect to a network within 1 minute (to conserve battery), but even if I leave WiFi switched on, I have to manually connect to my home network when in range. What I would ideally like is for WiFi to be 'off' when I am away from my network, but automatically switch 'on' and connect, when in range. I don't need to use WiFi when out, so I don't need it to continually search for networks when I am not at home. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Hi,
My mobile's WIFI Reception is too low, even if i keep the device near router, signal is not consistent, it disconnects and reconnects to the router frequently
My WiFi connection does not reach to my whole house, so we had an extender installed with Bright House. The problem is, my phone will switch to one of the connections either randomly, or when I am out of range, so if I walk to one side of the house where the router doesn't reach, it will switch over to the extender, which by the way, is still the same network, so it does it automatically. The problem with this is if I go back to my computer, which is next to the router, it will stay on the extender's connection, so I will have two bars, and when I refresh it is full, because it recognizes I am right next to the router. It's not a deal breaker or anything, and the problem isn't specific to this phone, but it's a big inconvenience.
