I was thinking about getting one of those Seagate go flex satellite drives that connects to your device via wifi and allows you stream files. If I have my phone connected to the drive via wifi can I still use the 3g or 4g connection of my phone to access the internet? I have a Droid x now and am planning on getting a Rezound in the near future.

When i'm connected to my router at home via wifi, the connection randomly drops from time to time. My laptop and TV is fine which are both running via the internet. The setting is set to stay connected always, even when the screen goes black.
Does anyone have a resolution for this? Perhaps static IP? if this is the answer, what should the settings be?
I have two Evo 4G's. If I have wifi on, it will disconnect blue tooth from my car. Is that all android devices or just HTC/E mvo? I thought it was a problem till HTC said you cant use both at same time.

So here is the problem, when I go around town. My phone will connect to the wifi network around town. It will keep connecting and disconnecting to the wifi and data network. Making my IP phone and IM apps act weird.
Is there anyway to keep both wifi and 4g data on at the same time. I know the old app superpower on xda does it on some roms. but doesnt work on stock Razr HD.
BTW I have a Motorola Razr HD stock 4.1.2 canadian rom (rogers) rooted.
You can use the 3G network for surfing the Internet and at the same time the wifi network to move files only?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy droid razr asks for my password to my home wifi every time i go out of range and then come back and try to connect again. Using netgear wnr2000 with wpa. If i input my password and press connect, it lets me use wifi just fine. Updated netgear to latest firmware last night and browsed through all settings, but didn't see anything that might make a difference. Still does it today. Even just going out in the yard and back, have to re-enter pass if i got out of range. Doesn't happen with any other devices i use... laptops, other phones. Even reserved the ip that my phone currently had on the netgear for the phone.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHaving wifi on when you're near a router is supposed to save battery since the router is close and the phone doesn't have to search for a 3g signal. After the OTA update my phone no longer sleeps when I have wifi enabled. So now I'm killing my battery by using my home/work wifi routers instead of taxing sprints network connecting to 3g. Is my phone the only one doing this? I haven't read any other reports.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAll this talk about 3G/4G speeds, hotspot, etc.... I was thinking just how much time everyone spends away from a WiFi connection they can use? My normal day consists of getting up, going to work, and coming home. I spend maybe 2-2.5 hours away from the house while driving to/from work, picking/dropping off kids, going to the grocery store, etc.So usually when I want to access something on my phone, I will be around a WiFi signal I can use (Home or Office).I would think with WiFi on the EVO, thats where most of my data usage is going to be.
When using android apps, they use WiFi (if available) correct?
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGot my captivate today, loving it so far, first experience with Android. I was on the phone with my GF today, talking on my bluetooth headset and I was trying to browse the web while we were talking. My connection (WiFi) was being very flaky, extremely slow, or just plain unable to load anything. Turned wifi off and when I tried to turn it back on, it refused to connect to my network.
When I got off the phone with her, I tried to connect to WiFi again and it worked perfectly fine, full speed. Made a phone call to test it out, same result, WiFi extremely slow or not working at all. At that point I thought there was something wrong with the phone being unable to make a phone call and use WiFi at the same time. Then I decided to try disconnecting my BT headset and it worked perfectly. Right now I'm streaming a video off youtube with a phone call connected, but the second I turn my BT headset on the connection dies.
I listen to music at work with some Bluetooth speakers. I also occasionally connect to WiFi while at work. Since the Froyo update if I am connected to both Wifi and Bluetooth while listening to music, the bluetooth will turn itself on and off over and over again. This did not happen to me prior to the Froyo update.I guess my question is, can we not be running and be connected to WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time with Froyo?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm facing a connectivity problem in my IM-client for a long time already, but still can't find out how to fix it. Found a similar bug report here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2059 except PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK didn't work for me :(
So here is the problem: when device goes idle, wifi is being kept connected for some unpredictable time(1-20 min), but then established connection brakes and here is what i see on the ddms console:
CODE:...............
And "-1" is coming on read() from input stream or SocketException is raised. Then my app is trying to reconnect and sometimes it's successful almost immediately, but sometimes it takes more than 2-3 tries to reconnect(WifiMonitor logs reconnects again and again) with 10 seconds timeout.
Preventing some advices - yes, there is a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK and wifilock held by my app, but as i can see this is not enough.
Is it generally possible to have Wifi Tethering turned on (creating a Hotspot) and at the same time scanning for Wifi devices? I want several devices just discover (NOT connect) each other and log the signal strength. To do that all devices must be discoverable over Wifi and at the same time discover others.
I would just need that for some specific use case..
Trying to run WIFI TETHERING, but SU just sits there and doesn't seem to do anything, but maybe force close. Running Smash rom. Honestly, I would probably switch roms, but I don't know how to do that. Someone else rooted my phone. Also, I'd love to get rid of stock apps.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHow can I determine if the current time is between two other time objects?
For example: current: 15:23, startTime: 22:00, endTime: 06:00. So the current time is not between this two other times, but this "23:47" is.
*I don't care about the date, only the time
I tried to do it like this:
Code:
Time startTime = getStartTime();
Time endTime = getEndTime();
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
Time now = new Time(c.getTimeInMillis());
[Code]...
but it dosen't work well. their aren't any errors but it just dosen't work.
To be more precise the problem is that 15:35.after(22:00) return true... and I don't know why. I think that the problem is something with the dates but I don't know what

View 1 Replies View RelatedI switched recently from a black berry to an Android 2.3 powered device - Samsung Stratosphere on Verizon.
Email invite messages from Outlook for meetings do not show the calendar detail. Specifically, I can not see the date and time of the meeting invitations. I can perform actions to "Accept", "Decline", or Tentative" the meeting invitation. Unfortunately, there isn't any meeting detail so I don't know when the meeting is scheduled.
This is very frustrating and makes the Samsung Stratosphere or possibly the Android platform not fit for corporate environments. If I can not get this to work I will be switching to an iPhone and I will recommend to my entire corporate enterprise that we avoid Android based Smart Devices.
The Black Berry BEZ environment also provided information on meeting conflicts when you are sent a meeting invitation.
It's done this twice now (before and after factory reset). 2.1 OTA, not rooted.
Whenever I turn on the wifi, or I become in range of my WPA2 network, it doesn't always connect. I say "always" because it seems to be random. If I toggle wifi on or off, it doesn't always connect. Sometimes it connects after 30+ seconds. Every other device connects just fine.
The only sure way to get it to connect is to force it to rescan, usually by going to Settings and displaying all SSIDs in range. THEN it connects, always and immediately.
The even sillier thing is, it will alert me of open networks, but never connect to my own saved network.
As I've retired and now on a fixed income, I'm planning to go from smart to dumb and get a basic phone and plan for only voice and text. However, that will leave me with a droid that is disconnected from Verizon. Can I basically then use the phone as a small wi-fi tablet and access the internet and email, not to mention other app?

When I try to connect to an open network, it says obtaining up, remembered, connecting, then disabled. When I connect to closed networks, it works for a while thence wifi becomes ed and goes off and on over and over. Sometimes turning my phone off and on again. Most times it doesn't.
