I have a nice shiny new HTC One, but my employers have given me a fairly miserly 1GB of data/month contract and I wanted to ask if its possible to force the phone to only ever use WiFi instead and NOT the 3G service (or do I have to simply turn "data" off in network settings?
View 18 RepliesEven though I have an unlimited (?) data plan for my iPhone4 from Sprint, unless I am mistaken I would get faster transfer rates using wifi instead of their 3g carrier signal. Is that correct and if so can I set my iPhone4 to use wifi preferably if available or does it do that already?

We have encountered an endemic E7x problem- (same thing on both E71 and E72, both updated to the max) it insists on using Skype with 3G, and this can't be turned off short of taking the SIM card out. How can one instruct skype to use a wifi connection? this makes skype use abroad very expensive.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I force disable/disconnect the wifi/3g ? I set to widget of the home screen to offline mode. but everytime I manually disconnect the wifi, it automatically reconnects in the second. I have my mail,(hotmail), facebook status, calendar, some webshortcuts, and the info like cnn, weaher, reuters.
when I go to sleep, I dont want the connection to be active.
From time to time my N8(Belle) will not connect to my WiFi. When I look at the wifi-list my network is listed as "known", but not connected to. When I press on it the only options are Details and Delete the AP. I can't force the phone to connect to a specific AP, which would be nice.If I turn the phone off and on again, it finds the Wifi and connects to it just fine. But it really shouldn't be necessary to reboot it in the first place.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEvery so often, my Nexus 5 (stock, unrooted and un-rommed) will freeze (normally when playing either Castle Clash or Asphalt 8) and i'll have to force reboot. This is not a problem. It happens.
My issue is when it powers back on, Wi-Fi will be on, even though it wasnt on before the force reboot. This has only been happening since 4.4.3. While it's not a major issue, it is a minor annoyance. Ive checked my Wi-Fi settings and everything is normal. Is there anything i can do to sort this?
I know this seems backwards but I have a very good reason. my cellular data is unlimited and my jetpack Mobil wifi from another service is not. I keep both on while driving to enable consistent Internet for Internet radio for instance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere's a WiFi network that I often connect to, which has a login page (i.e. I have to enter my username and password on this page, rather than storing it in my phone). As a result it's hard to use because every time I lock my iPhone, I get logged out (due to the lack of persistent WiFi), and then when I unlock it, I have to go back to the login page and re-enter my username and password. I have to do this many times per day.
Is there a way to either force my connection to be persistent (so it doesn't disconnect every time the screen locks) or allow it to auto-enter my username and password on the login screen, so it reconnects automatically? I assume that it would be easier to force the WiFi to be persistent since the login page is custom.

The apps, always starting with the Market App, displays error message to force close within 10 minutes of turning it on. I only had a few apps installed (from the Android Market Place) which I have uninstalled, but it's still doing it. The longer you leave the Xoom on, the more apps it "needs" to force close. And, it won't save updates or some apps after a restart so I have to download everything again. Kind of a pain with Angry Birds .
Will I need to do the dreaded memory wipe and lose everything?
I'm from Mumbai India and use a service provider "Loop Mobile". When I have my data settings on, I am able to perform all the BlackBerry functions, such as BBM, Email, etc. When I turn off data, and am on a Wifi network, I can only use the browser, There is no connection to the BlackBerry service. This problem is with all the people I know on Loop Mobile. With other users on Vodafone or Airtel, only wifi works perfectly fine.Please help! It is very expensive to use data when on International Roaming!

View 1 Replies View RelatedCurve 9300 will not use wifi connection instead of network data services. I can connect to wifi networks just fine. The phone searches the networks out, connects, puts the little icon on the home screen to say it's connected to a wifi network. It lists the name of the network up the top. Everything's great, except that when you actually go to use the internet, the phone connects to your data services instead of the wifi and you get charged for data consumption.
If you turn off the network services to try and force the phone to connect to the wifi instead, you get the error message:
"You are not currently in an area that can handle data communication. As a result, the Browser cannot retrieve any web pages.try again when you are in a different location, or contact your service provider if the problem persists."
I'm just starting to have this issue as when my wifi is turned off I have no data service however I can only make and receive calls. I notice the signal for my reception bar is full however I it doesn't say 4g or anything at all next to it. I restarted the phone, drove to different locations same issue. I think this started from yesterday. I also checked my mobile data setting, seems to be set correctly and it's on. Attach is a photo of signal and no data works.

View 1 Replies View RelatedStarted happening about 2 weeks ago. My girlfriend and I went to 6 flags in Arlington, Tx I left my phone in the glove box of the car so it wouldn't get wet. When we got back to the car I had 3 missed calls but no service. Red X by the antenna logo and something like no network available. When I got home I put it on the charger and got a full charge, turned it on it said searching for network with the same red X. Found nothing so I pulled the battery and SIM. Waited a couple minutes, reloaded and had perfect service. A week later I started dropping calls and can only get service if the phone is hot it seems. Now the only way for me to pick up the t-mobile network is if I'm connected through wifi. Even then there is a huge lag in calls and sending and receiving data. Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem, if a way, or is it possible I fried it by leaving it in the heat?

iphone 3gs how to fix wifi Bluetooth and phone service
Info:
iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1
my iPhone (iOS 4.1) has been running sluggishly, freezing for a couple of seconds after trying to press the home button (from locked), to random freezes on the dashboard etc., most of the time after a couple of seconds it unfroze. The phone was dropped several times (always had a sturdy cover) but always worked fine. About 2 weeks ago it started to get worse, phone kept randomly restarting, loosing service and wifi and then reconnecting again. I scoured the internet for possible clues and in the end ordered a new battery which I installed successfully. Also reset the device as new and installed the latest iOS 6.1.6?. No problem with freezing/being sluggish anymore but the service/reception and wifi keep dropping. Sometimes it is random. Sometimes it happens right after I slide to unlock the phone. The connection can hold from several minutes to an hour or so before dropping to a bar and then no service (wifi disappears as well), after a while it comes back on. I have asked for another replacement battery (in-case this one was faulty) and will see where that will get me. (also when it is charging now it has the occasional random restart, not very often but sometimes)

I have nokia 5800. I am able to connect to my office wi-fi with this. And after connecting when I do Start Browsing, I am also able to browse sites successfully.

Can anybody please tell me how can I educate facebook application to use my wi-fi internet connection and not the service provider one?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is my 1st BlackBerry. I've been given a Bold 9700 & I'm over the moon with it's basic features. I've simply transferred the PAYG SIM card out of my previous phone - a Sony Ericsson w302, where most things worked as expected. Regards the BB's other features, I was quite surprised to find personal email impossible to set up & internet to be totally WiFi Dependant. In addition, many apps (eg, msn, facebook, google maps, etc) don't work due to there being no data connection, even whilst using WiFi.
Expecting the need to upgrade to a 3g SIM card, I called orange & was told that I'd need to pay £5/mth for email & 250MB data. I consider this quite objectionable - is that really the deal & will it solve my problems? If that's the best orange can do, what experience have you guys had with other UK carriers on PAYG.
when i click on my facebook app it says ' you are currently on a service plan that does not support this application. if you want to use this application, please conact your service provider to upgrade your data plan' but i am on pay monthly and can get onto the internet jus not the facebook app. Also my phone will not connect to any WIFI at all.
