I'm in the UK, and using a Touch Diamond.....on Vodafone 3G. When I'm connected to WIFI, I obviously want to use that for data, rather than use up my precious data allowance.
When I'm connected to a WIFI connection, how do I know Opera/IE/Email are using WIFI - and not my 3G connection? There are times when I'm in my house, and I know it's using my phone data connection, as it's just so slow (very limited reception 3G in my house)....whereas the WIFI should be pretty fast.
i COULD be wrong here.... but the way i know is if the WIFI icon at the top shows connected. If you rphone cant find the WIFI, it'll always divert to a data connection. Play with your phone around the house, see where you get connectivity and how strong to your wifi.

Yes I know when I'm connected to WIFI and how strong it is....what I want to know is how I know whether my phone is using 3G/GPRS - when I am connected to WIFI and want it to use WIFI and not my phone network. There seems to be no indication to show you are actually 'using' the WIFI network over the phone network....
Settings > Communication Settings.
Turn data connection off, turn wifi on.
Do that before you use internet and your sorted.
On both my Diamond and Touch Pro, the Wi-Fi icon appears on the task bar when Wi-Fi is available. Same goes for 3G.
Also note that some programs call for a certain connection method automatically. For example, you will note that some programs initiate 3G instead of using your Wi-Fi connection. Hopefully, there is a configuration option for such apps.
Cheers.
i don't know if you notice it, but if you are connecting through E or H or G or 3G.. the reception bar instead of the antenna you will get the corresponding letter if you are currently connected to one of them
As long as your WiFi is on and none of those letters are showing up.. you will be fine
Hi
I got little problem with my P9. Every time when i turn on wi-fi on device, it take around 25-30 sec. till phone set connection with my home network.
Does anyone notice this issue with P9
It's not an issue.
When you turn on your WiFi the phone scans for available networks, finds the one with best coverage makes an dhcp request and connects. It takes some time.
If you turn to enabled the " Wifi + ", you can disable it.
Delay is very high
In other models the connection is made in 10 seconds
Hi everyone!
I'm currently facing an unusual problem with my Mi A2. It happens only while sharing internet through WiFi hotspot.
The problem is, when I share my cellular internet through WiFi hotspot, suddenly & randomly the screen (not the phone) goes off & locked and cellular network drops and it shows "No service". Immediately after that when I press the power button to turn on the screen, I can see that the network is being searched by the phone and restored within a minute. Sometimes this happens too frequently.
I'm currently on Android Pie with February security update and both the SIMs are turned on and belongs to the same operator (Grameen Phone).
Does anybody have faced this issue? Or, what might be the root cause behind this problem or suggestions for fixing this issue are appreciated highly.
Thanks in advance!
Both my wife and I have the same problem: when we are away from home, and thus no WiFi reception, WiFi turns itself off. So when we come home we have to turn it on manually.
Both on miui 12.5 and not changed any WiFi settings. I've checked WiFi assistant and “turn on WiFi automatically" is turned off.
Any clues?
I would like to create a task on Android 12 to run the "fix connectivity" under internet. I would like it to check my cellular connectivity first and if not connected run the fix connectivity. Is this possible. I would at least like to run it when disconnecting from wifi. Since my phone updated I have been having problems with my cellular connection going to not connected, while still having bars, after being on wifi for a period of time. It does not connect back when disconnecting from wifi. When this happens I can't receive certain texts and can only wifi call.
