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.
Hi,
I've noticed atleast 4 times that my phone doesn't connect to a mobile network from data when away from a WIFI connection.
So when I'm at home, the phone is connected using WIFI and all works fine. When I leave home, the phone should be connected via a mobile network (i have Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Network set), but it doesnt seem to connect when I try and use the browser. If I restart the phone or unset then set "Mobile Network", then the phone seems to pick up the mobile data connection and function normally.
Has anyone else seen this?
Cheers,
Ash
Sometimes, mine will switch automatically but very often it will not. It hasn't been a problem for me but I agree that it should switch over without us having to manually turn Mobile Network off and then back on again. Anyone have any ideas? I'm using the Bell stock, unlocked on AT&T.
I know this thread was originally started some time ago but I thought there would be others with similar issues as mine and mashed_ash but. Please, post if you have any ideas. Thanks.
Hello,
I've a problem with my spica. Sometimes I have no reception. In one moment I've full reception an then, for a few seconds, I've nothing. The mobile isn't move in this moment.
Know anyone this problem. I use T-Mobile.
Best regards

I have the same problem with Telering (daughter company of T-Mobile Austria).
I think the problem is the bad 3G Network connection. Just go in you wireless settings. Enter the mobile networks menu. There should be a point "only use 2g connection". Activate it.
Now test your connection again.
It happened 4 times on my Note 3 in the last 10 days. I'm home or at work under wifi. Go out and try to use mobile data and I get an error message that I have no connection. Yet my LTE signal shows 50% and above in signal strength. I tried to turn on airplane mode to turn it off to force my phone to latch onto the closest cell tower and it's still doesn't fix the issue. If it happens while I try to upload some files, I check my email or try to browse the web and it confirms that I have no working connection to the web. I end up rebooting my phone and it fixes the issue. It's as if the phone is still looking for my wifi connection and "forgets" to switch to cellular connection once I leave the building. I know there is a setting under wifi that says to auto switch between wifi and mobile network but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
While everything is working perfect "at home" .. but I had quite some problems on my trip to Amsterdam .. I will try to summarize:
- I had to manually connect to my company's wifi even though the access point should be "known" to the phone. I have no Idea why since at home it simply connects to my wifi. Formerly this was not a problem - the phone connected automatically. Could have something to do with 4.3? Happened while phone was in Airplane mode (wifi manually set to on) and while phone was in roaming mode.
- When I quit airplane mode I see a stop sign - I don't get prompted to enter the sim pin. So I have to reboot the phone to get gsm working i.e. see the signal indicator.
- In roaming mode not every network operator worked. The phone e.g. saw Vodafone NL but the network wasn't available for a connection. T-Mobile worked.
- I was not able to make a data connection over any Roaming Network. I assume this is for the reason that I had no APN for that provider. Shouldn't the phone receive the correct APN "over the air" ? Or is Omega lacking an accesspoint list that works for roaming? This is puzzling me.
Any help is much appreciated. Who can shed some light?
