Hello all,
I have a Wi-Fi router that I use just to transfer data to and control my smart TV and other devices. This wifi does not have internet access. So when I connect my OnePlus 3T to this Wi-Fi , it shows that the Wi-Fi does not have internet access and keeps accessing data connection. Even when I turn off data, the phone does not even try to access anything from Wi-Fi connection. I have not faced this problem on any other phones and those are able to connect to other local devices through Wi-Fi without internet. Anybody have a solution? Thanks in advance.
PS: auto switch between data and Wi-Fi setting is already disabled.

Morning all,
I just got a touch diamond2, this is my first fone with wifi. a couple of questions!
when i'm at home or whereever and connect through wifi this has no impact on download limits within my fone contract?
Does the fone automatically no to use wifi for the internet connection when one is connected?
my fone doesn't stay connected to my home network, it finds it and connects ok but then a min or so later it says 'not connected, networks available'?
any help appreciated
Cheers

Hi,
Using WiFi connections at home will not contribute to your mobile data plan. Wi-Fi data does not go over the cellular networks, and therefore is not part of your contract plan. This also means that you can use VoIP, streaming video, and other services over Wi-Fi, whereas you may not be able to over your mobile data plan.
The phone will not switch automatically between Mobile Data and Wi-Fi. You would need to close the Mobile Data connection, and re-start with Wi-Fi every time you wanted to switch.
Your mobile phone WiFi connection may be entering a power-saving mode when idle; To disable this, download the Advanced Config Tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151 and install it. Open the Advanced Config Tool and look for the Network settings. The bottom two options should be "Turn off Wi-Fi if no activity" and "Wi-Fi Auto off timeout" Change these as appropriate.
Hope this helps!
Hi, here are my answers based on my experience:
1) When connected to a WiFi network (eg. home, work,school etc) your phone operator is not in the position to charge you anything.You'll be charged only if using your operator GPRS,3g etc services. If you want to avoid Operator connections use Nodata.cab or make the right settings in Advanced config or HD Tweak.
2) Once Wifi connection established, it should have the priority on other data connections.
3) Wifi connection stability depends on radio and ROM you're using, my solution is to to set "Maximum Performance" in the Power Management tab under Wifi Settings. Not doing this leads to instable or even "fake" connections: windows says you're connected but no data traffic occur This is the only workaround I know, any other suggestion is super-welcome!

Hi all.
When i'm activate the portable wi-fi spot and try's to connect through it on my home pc it dosen't work.
on the phone is says that it working and every thing is good but my pc writes ''Without Internet Access''
do i need to install something on my pc?
i really need this.
Thx.
Do you have internet access on your phone?
Did you try restarting the PC?
You don't need anything installed.
I'm connecting to Wi-Fi network my phone finds and turns on the portable hotspot,
i'm not connecting to my operator network.
this can be the problem?
You can't share WiFi over WiFi. It should have been pretty clear... You didn't put attention that when you turn on the hotspot, your WiFi doesn't show "ON" anymore?
Well, in any case, that's why you see no internet connection.
You can use USB hotspot instead.
Ohh yeee.. now it works
Thx a lot for the help and the new information
Hello,
I'm trying to use the hotspot with this android 6 phone, The clients connects but the internet connection isn't available.
I've played a little bit with apn settings (according to other threads) but nothing changed.
the device is not rooted.
Thanks
Are you connected to mobile data when you turn on the hotspot? Does mobile data internet work for your hotspot device?
My P10 VTR-L29 starts giving problem from today. When I turn on WiFi hotspot to share my WiFi (not the Data internet) internet to my smart tv, the Wi-Fi connection get disconnected from the router.
I have tried with the Network resetting but problem still exist. Does anyone have the solution for this.
Thank you in advance.

It's not an issue, it works like that... You cannot have both activated at the same time...

Just one question.
If you have smart TV, and TV have WiFi module, why do you need to "share" WiFi to connect TV to network?
Connect it directly to main WiFi network
Good question.
My TV Samsung 48 inches Model UA48H6400 started giving problem like the WiFi connection drops while Netflix moving on playing. The Netflix get stuck at 25%. I can see the Internet WiFi connection lost from TV. Turning off the TV WiFi gets back and Netflix will run for about 30 minutes and then again WiFi connection drops. I have tried changing IP settings to DNS manual and set to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 but the problem exists.
So I did turning off TV WiFi connection from router and connect TV with phones WiFi tethering. So I enjoyed Netflix for 2 days with no Internet problem.
Then the phone WiFi tethering started drops when I turn on phones WiFi hotspot tethering and so far no solution found in YouTube or any other source.
I got another interim solution which is I turn on my phones Bluetooth tethering with WiFi Bluetooth bridge. So Netflix is running no problem so far but don't know when this process will be corrupted.
Hope I have explained the situation.
Thank you

Hello everyone on this forum!
I have an issue with my P20 Pro when using wifi hotspot, or I think it's releated to my phone. To the point...
Sometimes I have to use wifi hotspot from my p20 pro to share internet access to my work laptop. Basically, if I'm at home office I use VPN to connect to internal network of my work place, so I can access internal recources. And everything is working when using hotspot except one program which uses SQL database. On phone wifi hotspot I can't access this database and it looks like my phone is blocking traffic related to this database. Database is giving me error that I'm not connected to internal network. I tried to reset network setting, still the same problem. I checked on some other phones:
google pixel 4a - database access OK,
huawei P20 lite - no database access,
any other non-phone hotspot network - database access OK.
Any segestion why this is happening?
Try usb tether and switching to 5Ghz (if possible on notebook side). Sounds like some routing issues but if you tried resetting already then I don't suppose you'll be able to resolve that.
