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?

i got my 3g nexus 7 a week ago and its been fantastic. thee is, however, a minor annoyance that im curious if anyone else has experienced
i usually cut the mobile data off when using it on wifi, and ive noticed after long periods of inactivity, the mobile data will turn itself back on.
is this a known issue? im running completely stock at this point.
Just put it on airplane mode than turn on WiFi.... That way you're sure that mobile connectivity is disabled.

I do the same thing. You'll see the WiFi icon and the airplane icon both on the status bar. Without airplane mode, the cellular modem will still be on and connected to the cellular network all the time. If you have WiFi available, you're wasting battery power on the unused cellular connection. Also if the WiFi turns off to conserve power, it may start using the cellular data. That is not good if you have a limited data plan.
I've posted a question before asking if anyone knew how to create a widget to toggle the cellular radio on and off and received no response.
I generally do use airplane mode when on WiFi, but it was one of those little quirks I noticed and was wondering if it was happening to anyone else
As for a toggle widget for the 3g, I use power toggles. It seems to work, but I've wondered I'd that is actually the culprit. I could get rid of it and see, but it's such a minor issue ATM

I'm looking for app, which can turn off data, when connection to know wifi spot is made and from the other side, when there is no known wifi spots, turn data /3g back on.
I know, that if both wifi and data is on, phone use wifi, if there is known spot, but don't phisicaly turn off data connection automaticly.
I tried SmartConnectivity, Smart Wifi toggler, but it's not working, as I want.
Try "Tasker"

good app. doesn't use location services but instead remembers cell towers (like y5 which doesnt work anymore with 4.2+) so good on battery.

Qualcomm's battery guru does this there's a learning period but after that it should perform in the manner you're describing

maybe in a few years that app will get somewhere. as it is, google location based wifi switchers aren't a good idea, unless you're using location services 24/7 anyway (latitude, gnow, etc).
I use wi-fi matic + macrodroid. When I come home, wi-fi matic detects the cell tower I'm connected to and switched on wifi. Once connected, macrodroid switches airplane mode on, and sipdroid connects to my sip provider. Once I leave and lose the wifi connection, macrodroid disables airplane mode. Then wi-fi matic sees that I left my area and switches off wifi. Totally automated
agreed... I don't use it myself(I'm a self-switcher) but I did install when it first came out and found it behaves like the op desires

Mobile data is automatically switched off when WiFi is connected.
No need to disable it manually.

That's not true. If U look in Settings-Data usage Mobile data is still ON. Of coures it's not used, because wifi have prioritiy, but data is ON anyway.
For 2 days I was switch off it data/wifi manually and battery life is better.

Great. I think Wi-Fi matic + Auto WiFi/3G switch app should do what I'm looking for.
Thank you!

Okay here is .prf i just created put it in your tasker folder(auto-import).
It works perfect.
Open tasker and import it.
On any WiFi you connect(you can change that by pressing green arrow and add your know WiFis if you would like) it disables Mobile Data(You cant receive MMS if Mobile data is off) on WiFi you connect and when you lose your connection whit WiFi it disables WiFi and kicks in Mobile Data On so you dont need to worry to disable WiFi it does automatically.
ENJOY!
If it works thank me.

Yes, but service is ON, look in Settings-Data Usage: Mobile data=ON And that service is using battery...I'm not the first one, who found that "problem".
But it's not used, that's true.
Anyway, I found a solution with Wi-FI matic and Wifi/3g switch, not it's working like I want.
So thanks for help.

Llama (just search the Play store for it, I can't post the link...) seems to be a good single app location aware solution. The first play store review pretty much says it all "More flexible than Atooma, but not brain-melting like Tasker. Just makes using your phone easier, and more helpful."
I've been struggling with Tasker for several days trying to get it to do the same thing (toggle wifi and mobile data settings automatically based on my location). I had Llama set up and working beautifully in maybe an hour and a half, which included the time to read the devs instructions and FAQ (click "View Developer's Website from the Play store).
It uses cell towers to determine your location, so there is no battery hit, or you can optionally enable wifi polling or GPS for more accurate locating. It can also perform actions based on when your wifi changes state (connects or disconnects) regardless of your location. And since it's "Tasker-like" it can perform a lot more than just handling your data connections: adjust volumes or screen brightness, launch/kill apps, even shut off or reboot the phone (only if rooted). For example, mine is set up to remove my lockscreen password when I am home and re-enable it when I leave the area of my home wifi and it was fast and simple to get configured.

Wow, great!
I'll try and report...
But I think there is one thing missing what Wi-FI matic do. Wi-FI matic activate WIFI based on cell towers.
With this Tasker script you have to turn on WiFi by yourself, is that correct?
Than script turns off data and turn it back ON, when you lose connection. But than again, when wifi is presented, you have to turn it on by yourself...
I think, this script is doing something similar as this app

If you want you can add to turn wifi on based on cell towers in tasker and even much more.If you need more help feel free to contact me.

Yap I know, tasker is powerfull, but my knlowedge about that is weak...
So If you are so kind, could you please add in previous task (thath one sent to me in your first post) or make a new task for turning on wifi based on cell towers...
I just recently got a Nexus 4 from Google. Running 4.2.2 stock, all well and good.
There is one feature however which I really dislike and which has potential security and privacy issues to be considered: unless I shut down wifi entirely, my phone will automatically connect to ANY AND ALL open wifi networks it finds, using those in preference to cellular data to try to get on the internet. This is.. entirely suboptimal but I have not found a way to stop it. I disabled 'auto notification of open wifi networks' which did what it said, it doesn't NOTIFY me any more, it just silently connects.
Is there a way to prevent such behaviour without having to turn wifi off all the time?
Thanks!

Forget all remembered networks, and manage how much your Wi-Fi is on. It's a quick tile.
In all my years of owning an android it has NEVER connected to a router I didn't want it to do it's user created

Thank you. I have owned several Android phones, this is the first one that behaves like this. The only thing I'm unclear on is 'manage how much your wifi is on'?
