Android : Bad G Connection Being Used Before Good Wifi
Jun 23, 2010
We live in the sticks and we get a bit of a G connection here, maybe 1 bar if we are lucky.
What I've found is that my samsung galaxy S with android 2.1 uses the G connection no matter how bad it is despite a perfectly good wifi connection here.
It's only if the G cononection completely drops and the red no entry sign appears to show us that the carrier isn't available at all that suddenly the phone uses wifi.
Is there a way to change the provider order so that the phone will use wifi before g/3g ?

I did a search and cant seem to find if someone else has this problem. I use either radio time or iheartradio to stream radio stations and I have drop outs all the time. If I am on 3g it does this as well as Wifi. I would think wifi would be solid but I have tried a couple different interent connections just to make sure it wasnt the connection. This drives me crazy because there is no reason I should be able to stream a 48k stream on a good 3g connection for a wifi connection.
Is there any tweaks I need to do? Am I doing something wrong?

If my screen locks while I have a wifi connection, then the connection is lost when I unlock the phone.First, is this perhaps deliberate, to save power? Also, either way, when I unlock the screen and go into wifi settings, I see that the phone is trying to make a wifi connection, but it never succeeds, even though it's my home network and I'm in the same room as the router. It just states 'Obtaining address.

Long time reader, first time poster here. How does one know if the Epic is using the wifi connection as opposed to using the 3G connection? When wifi is connected both that and the 3G connection shows at the top. So which one is in control per se? And how can it be verified?

I decided to try the WiFi hotspot available through 2.2. GREAT! Actually worked quite a bit better than I thought it would. Only trouble is, ... now I'm back at home, it fails to connect to the home network.
+ Restarting phone
+ Re-entering password
+ Forgetting network + refinding
WiFi sees the network, says "Connecting", comes up "Failed to connect", "Scanning" and loops on that sequence. I know the router's working because this laptop is using it right now

I want to make http connection which ensures that it is done through wifi only,so that I can not be charged for the transfer of packet from GPRS or 3G network.
It means what ever the connection available I can use only wifi that I want to ensure through Application itself.

I have a Apple Time capsule I use for my router and I'm not getting very good signal when using wifi on my EVO. If I'm sitting on my couch 8 ft away it only gets 1 signal bar on the phone. If I walk up to it with my phone the signal starts to get better. Any advice? I have the Time Capsule because I use a MAC. Just FYI before the bashing starts.

I am writing an application which checks the security protocol of the phone's wifi connection. Between the phone and AP, they may use 'wpa', 'wpa2', 'wep' or unprotected 'open' connections. how to get such information?

I need a Library that opens WiFi connection and 3G connection at the same time and then start transmitting sockets to 2 PC ( servers) connected to the WiFi-3g Networks. I Couldn't find in WiFi.manager & Android.net Lib. any thing that can do that.

I am using org.apache.http.*; API's to make HTTP Post Connections over Internet from the Android Application. I added the Internet Permissions in the Manifest file and it works fine. Now i want my application to make the same HTTP requests over WiFi network through which the handset is connected.
Do i need to make code changes to achieve this? Do i need to add some permissions? as i am unable to make requests...

Is it possible for Android to connect to Windows ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) via WiFi?I have set up Windows ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on my Windows XP laptop WiFi adapter. The connection is open with WEP disabled.From a Windows Mobile 6 PDA I am able to see various WiFi routers, my laptop ICS and connect to the laptop ICS.From Android I am only able to see the various WiFi routers, but not the laptop ICS connection.Does the Windows ICS use some special Microsoft protocol that the Android WiFi adapter can not detect?Is there some other Android software or app that can connect the Windows WiFi ICS?

We are doing some research using android handset , G1 and i don not find any clear information in order to manage the connection, as i note all classes allow us for only accessing the information about a connection, i would like to ask if there is really such solution already avaliable in order to opens two connections for two different network ( 3G & Wifi ) at the same time and use them to exchange data "establishing two connection at the same time". i look in the source code of the Mms app to see how it as you recommend but no related information.

I'm new here and I'm using a doixanh ROM, GingerDX (but I already used Froyobread). So, some time ago I had a problem...I couldn't connect my device (Sony Ericsson Xperia X8) to wifi.
What I did? I full wiped the phone...and that fixed the wifi issue. But now I have the same problem...I can't connect my phone to wifi anymore!
I could do another full wipe, but this problem would just appear again and again...I googled for some fixes and I found some answers...one of the solutions would be deleting one file (dhct or something) from the phone...the problem is: I don't have that file...
Another (on a youtube video) to download an "hot fix" package with 3 files and place them on the phone...but the link that he gave is broken and I couldn't find those files on the internet.
Like wifi, my phone's GPS doesn't work too.

Is it possible to have a Direct Wi Fi Connection between my Android device (Lg L5 e610) and my PC (Win7, Ubuntu 13.04, Mac OSx Snow Leopard)? Is there any tool or program to do it? Or at least a developement project (I like to be a tester)? I found some solutions for my question but they need to a router to work and i haven't it

I would like to be able to share my ethernet internet connection on my android 2.2 tablet via wifi.
I know there are various app's on phones that allow you to share your 3g connection but I have not found anything that I can actually install that will create the same sort of functionality on my tablet, most of the ones I've seen on the play store are simple short cuts giving control over the pre-existing wifi hotspot app.
What I need is the wifi hotspot itself, ie the ability to use my tablet as a router/bridge.

I'm developing a C++ application for the android that needs to talk with a server whenever there is an internet connection available. If the internet connection is cut-off the application needs to "sleep" in order to reduce the battery consumption. If the internet connection is back the application should "awake". I'm searching for any kind of event notification available for C++. I don't want to use pooling. I know that in java we receive these notifications from the connectivity service.Can we trap them natively?

I have an app that runs on a closed network with no Internet access. I connect to it through WiFi. My app also uses Google Maps. Is there a way to make the MapView still pull from my 3G connection while the rest of the app uses the WiFi? The issue is once connected to the WiFi, maps tries to pull from the Internet and can't get there so my MapView is always blank.

I've been trying to create a local connection to a computer with a Socket from the emulator thinking that it would automagically uses a emulated wifi connection. It doesn't work, in particular because wifi is not supported on the emulator:
- Does a Socket connection automatically choose the fastest connection (the wifi one if it exists).
- Why wifi not supported by the emulator? Will it be?
For those in countries still not blessed by the grace of having the possibility to buy a Gphone, that can be useful...

I have an application in which I need to connect to an access point with a specific name. Therefor I start a scan (WifiManager.startScan()) and listen to BroadCastEvents of type SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION and NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION. When the scan results are available, I check if my AP is found and if so I connect to it.
When I'm connected to the AP, I receive a NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION and there I open a SocketConnection to my serverSocket. The problem I'm having is that on the moment that I'm connected to the AP, the DHCP request is not yet finished. This causes the opening of the socketConnection to throw a "SocketException: Network unreachable". A few moments later I see in the logcat logging: WifiStateTracker - DhcpHandler: DHCP request succeeded. If I try to connect after this message, all goes fine. is there an event that I can listen to that informs me that the DHCP request is done? Now I try to create a connection and while an error occurs I retry. This is however very dangerous for hanging (if e.g the dhcp fails, the loop will never stop...)

I am trying to to use WiFi API to set priorities to created profiles. I am using the priority field of WifiConfiguration to set this information. I have found out that no matter what priority I set, Android always tries to re-connect to the latest access point that it was connected to. Here is what I do: 1) I create a profile A with a very low priority (0) 2) I create a profile B with high priority (100) 3) I connect to profile A 4) I turn Wi-Fi off 5) I turn Wi-Fi back on 6) In the scan Android sees both A & B 7) Android connects to A, even though its priority is much lower. Does anyone has a work around for this?

So I wrote a thread earlier that flash 10.1 sucks with little to no internet sucks. Which is normal but with wifi turned on at home, I couldn't watch my anime on my phone. Which was really disappointing. Are you guys having problems with the flash player or is it just me? Video was choppy or took forever to load. Plays a few seconds then loads again. So I couldn't get halfway through the episode.

It remembers my home WiFi about 60% of the time, the rest I have to go enable again. That's annoying since I could just do that on my own without a paid app.I have tried to retrain it to my WiFi and it just never gets it completely right. I'm getting to the point of disabling that JD feature altogether which sucks because battery will suffer AND I paid for this app.
