Hi, I'm looking for a program/plugin to allow me to stop my Alpine connecting to a neighbour's Wi-Fi access point as it's very annoying when I'm in the garden and the damn thing connects to a different network - I wouldn't mind but I can't connect to the internet on that network, so basically useless to me.
Thanks
Time to kick an ancient thread. I'm also looking for an app that can blacklist unwanted WiFi networks (especially those that are "open" and then take you to a pay screen when you try to surf).
There are plenty of apps that will let your phone connect to any open network in smelling range, but what about an app that lets you blacklist WiFi routers by SSID or keyword?
I can't find it on the market. Does anyone know an off-market app that lets me tell my phone phone that it should not connect to networks with SSIDs like PayToUseMe or Rogue&Leaky?
Even better would be a program that pops up a "do you allow this connection" whenever my phone sniffs a new network or an app wants to go online.
So the if the phone connects over wifi it drops the data connection that might've been present on your phone network connection. Is it possible to configure your phone to maintain both wifi and 3G/HSDPA connections at the same time?
I require this because my operator provided (H3G UK network) Skype application only runs on 3G and I have to keep turning off wifi for it to work.
Funny, I find this feature great!! With my WM phones I never knew if it was using wifi or my data connection....even if you can do this how do you make one app use one connection over the other?

You can try droid wall, and configure it to block wifi for skype, it may solve your issue.

Hmm, doesn't sound like that will work, because the phone has already dropped the phone network data connection as soon as I get back home onto my home wifi network (due to prioritisation?) I want the phone to maintain both so I can receive incoming Skype calls at home with fiddling with my phone. I understand why the phone does it and it is sensible for it to do so in most cases, but just not for my usage requirements!
Is it a software/hardware limitation that wifi and phone network data connections can't be open at the same time?
Install Nimbuzz. It supports Skype without that bulls**t restriction. It doesn't support group chats though.

if WiFi is on, and 3G is on
the phone automatically uses WiFi first

I lose the "H" or "3G" notifier when the phone connects to wifi, that's why it looks like it's purposesly dropping the data connection once it picks up my wifi, I can't see a way to maintain both simultaneously.
I'm using "Skype for 3" provided by my network, it has special integration on the 3 network which allows me unlimited Skype usage (inbound and outbound) without it eating into my data plan. So with this benefit I don't really want to use an alternative app.
I want to keep Skype running all the time so I can receive calls on it, but once I get home, the wifi kills the "H"/"3G" connection, which means my Skype can't receive calls.
the icon isn't there but i think the data (H / 3G) is still running in the background, incase your Wifi fails.
wifi is the... PREFERRED network?
have you tried getting your friend to call you via skype while you're on wifi?
is there any app to force the streak to only try to connect to wifi and not 3g? at my work in areas wifi is spotty and when it automaticaly checks e-mails ect if the wifi is bad its using my limited data plan, i would rather it not
thanks
settings==>wireless & networks==>Mobile Networks and uncheck the Data Enabled box. Now no 3G. Reverse when you want 3G
It says no internet connection on my xoom but it shows that theres 3G signal. whats wrong?
Not to be dumb or anything, but you did buy a data plan, right?
This is definitely worth a call to Verizon, because it sounds like something went bad in the setup. My 3g worked right out of the box. Out of curiosity, do you have a 3g phone and are you having any connection problem with it? Does your Xoom connect via WiFi? Also, under settings -wireless and networks -mobile networks, is the data enabled checkbox checked?
On my Galaxy Tab A a game called June's Journey won't start, says there is no internet connection and to check wifi settings. The tablet is connected to wifi and a browser speed test shows big mbps. I went to the app settings and the only related settings I see are Allow background data usage and Allow app while data saver is on, both are enabled.
What could be causing this one app not to have access to internet on this tablet?
Thanks

I tried it on my T580 with the RR 6 ROM and it worked fine. When you say "Tab A", you're not giving enough info. WHICH Tab A and with what ROM?
