Wifi conflicting with mobile data? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wifi seems to be conflicting with mobile data ,
whenever i turn on mobile data, the wifi would disconnect saying
wifi is disabled because connection is slow,
This problem dissapears if I turn off the mobile data
Anybody had this problem?

Your WiFi connection is always too slow but you have it set to cellular preferred . so when you turn on data it prefers the stronger signal. You need to change the settings

[Q] Wifi-Mobile Network Connectivity

Ever since the new leak of 2.3.3, the Wi-Fi connection randomly drops.
But I discovered it was because of Mobile Network on. If I turn Mobile Network off, the Wi-Fi connection is immensely stable. Is there a work around this? I would love my Mobile Network & Wi-Fi to be working at the same time.
I'm having the same problems. Thank OP.
Not only do I get this but my gps doesnt even come close to working like it won't even show that its on in the notification bar. Any one know a fix?

No mobile data network when connected on 2g

Niall, here's one for you Samsung masters, updated to mango, via zoom. Used the force method by disconnecting WiFi. My problem is now I no longer can use my mobile data connection. On edge or 3g. Only hspda, which is a bit crap as most of the time I have a 3g connection. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks

Hmm.. There is a reg hack to show a 3G data toggle in Settings which you could do and then disable 3G data that way. It is in the Samsung Tools app I think.

Cheers for the help man, but disabling 3g connection won't help as 2g data connection doesn't work either. Phones just keeps sayinglost mobile data connection. Truly stumped on this one! Cheers again though

Are you connected to wifi have notice even with mine that when wifi is on it keeps trying to seek a wifi connection and would not go through the 3G even if it could not get the connection turned off wifi then it was working fine again, but was having some other issues so I went ahead and did what I stated in another post and got the update the regular and have had no problems.

[Q] Disabled wifi disconnect on poor Internet connection speed

One very irritating "feature" on my note 3 is it's automatic network disconnect when it thinks the internet connection speed is poor. Is there any way to override this automatic disconnect? Particularly since there seems to be a well known bug with the galaxy range wifi network which thinks the connection speed is poor even if there is nothing wrong with the wifi signal or Internet connection speed.
Try this.

Unfortunately the wifi connection dropping issue seems to be highly dependant on your router.
Most people with the problem (including me) solved it with a different/newer router.
If you have spare time you could waste it ticking/unticking boxes in the wifi menu .. & THEN change your router lol

I am having the same issue on a corporate wireless network behind a proxy. It will connect, perform the connection speed test and then disable the network due to the connection speed being slow.
I am able to connect to a WiFi network on a secondary connection which does not go through the proxy. Both connections are on the same network.

Yes.... obviously an OS bug but we are stuck with it currently.
The information people need is how to COPE with the bug. I changed my router & no more problems so there's router's that will stop the issue occurring.

Turn off Mobile network without turning off Wifi

Hello everyone, I've tried to find the answer to this from multiple websites and forums but nobody was able to give me an satisfactory answer.
Sometimes I need to turn off my mobile network but want to keep on my WiFi as I'm usually calling people through Skype, whatsapp and Facebook messenger, I've tried Airplane mode but it turns off all the communication devices in the phone i.e wifi, Bluetooth and mobile network. I was wondering is there any way in which I could keep my WiFi connected and disable only my Sim Network as I don't afford to keep on connecting and reconnecting my WiFi again and again by turning on airplane mode.
Any help would be a life saver.
Thank you

Turn on airplane mode, then turn on wi-fi.

Dude I don't think you understood my question here. The problem is i want to shut off my cellular NETWORK (not the cellular data) . When i put my mobile on airplane mode(it turns off my cellular NETWOK, but also turns off my wifi). I am finding a way around if this can be avoided by ONLY turning off the Cellular NETWORK not th WiFi.
Hope that clears my point =)

That's what I told in the post, that i don't want my WiFi to turn off by activating airplane mode, as im usually connected to calls through WiFi, and its really a hassle to call again and again just because of my Cellular network signal.

So leave data on...disable cell network and leave WiFi alone.... how about setting WiFi calling to only use WiFi?
Edit: what model note 4? What I show is for the 910T.

Bro maybe I'm not making myself clear enough here, let me tell you in detail. Look, I don't use my cellular data(by cellular I mean the Sim Network like AT&T, Orange). I use wifi to call, like on Facebook messenger, Skype. The problem that I'm facing is that where I live, sometimes the my Sim Network signals drop, therefore I turn on the airplane mode to completely shut down cellular network so I can deactivate the airplane mode later so I can get my cellular network signals back again. Now in doing this process i.e turning on the airplane mode, the phone turns off my WiFi too. That is very annoying as I'm usually connected to Skype calls through my WiFi. I was looking for a way that if we could JUST TURN OFF CELLULAR NETWORK WITHOUT THE PHONE AUTOMATICALLY TURNING OFF THE WIFI.
I hope now I cleared my point
Thanks for the help =)
My model is Note 4, SM-N910C
Bro, maybe you aren't paying attention. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has the ability to operate purely on WiFi while airplane mode is enabled. So if you turn on airplane mode, initially it will turn off all networks (voice,text, wifi, Bluetooth, etc.). After that, you can manually turn the wifi back on and it will work purely from the wifi network.
Try the Do Not Disturb feature. That may be what you're looking for.
