Hi,
Im wondering how to set the order of connections. If im in my house and the wifi is available, i want my Diamond to automatically use the wifi to browse the web, and if not, use 3g.
3g should not! be used if the wifi is there.
cant find any such settings, maybe im blind...:/
thankful for help,
regards,
modano
ActiveSync has the highest priority by default.
After that the device tries WIFI, but only if it is in connected state.
3G connection has the least priority.
You can use Advanced Config to set wifi to stay connected while in stand-by mode.
Then all you want goes automatically.
I have tried with adv config to set Wifi but, couldn't succeed, can you explain how can get set wifi first on standby.

Ok, this was working fine on the original AT&T ROM, but since I flashed to dutty's ROM, I cant get it to work. How do I force the phone to use wifi for net access when wifi is turned on, as opposed to medianet? Currently, I have to keep manually switching from medianet to "my work connection" in connection settings.
You can use Kaiser Tweak to set it to disconnect the GPRS connection after a set amount of minutes of inactivity. Then, when you enable WiFi, it should connect ONLY to WiFi.
I think the OP needs to sort out his "work" and his "internet" instead of just trying to turn off radio data.
I have medianet set to internet and my wifi set to work...not really clear what "work" is....just want to automatically use wifi when wifi is connected, and cant find the option to do that.
Anybody???
I did set both connections to "work".
Additionally I added my tmobile gprs connection to the work profile.
All seems to work great.
I can acces my network shares over wifi and connect to the internet. When no wifi is available it connects via gprs.
I keep getting confused on this same issue. i installed the same rom we are talking about. it shows up for me when setting up email accounts. with my wifi turned on, it still tries to go out the 3g connection. I want it to use wifi if that is what is turned on and i think that was working on the death star rom. For the drop down that says "The Internet" I basically want that to point to wifi if on then fall back to 3g. How do we do that?
It should not be named "work".
So whats the solution here?
Under Connections....Select which networks are automatically used:
Programs that connect to the internet should connect using ???
I can either choose Medianet or my work network, I'd like for it to use wifi when available, how is this done?
Programs that connect to a private network should connect using ???
I have this set to my work network.
Easy Solution to 'Auto Wifi"
Buy an Iphone, works seemlessly, and you get a browser too which works, something these HTC phones havn't had in 3 years.
The easiest way to force wifi (since gprs can be acting as a ***** ), is to keep wlan enabled and to install the NOGPRS.cab (aka the modaco nodata plugin) which allows you to disable (but keep) the gprs settings and which you can toggle on (and back off) when needed.
Great little app, saves much annoyance!
Is there an easy way to toggle wi-fi on/off, that can be assigned to an icon or button? At the moment I have to open Comm Manager each time and do it from there.

Hi
I just finished setting up Wifi and it works perfect. Is there any way i can make the Diamond use the Wifi connection for programs if such connection exist? Currently it alwasy open a 3G connection even if Wifi is enabled, which kinda sucks, since 3G traffic dont come cheap
So what i want is, if Wifi connection exist use that, else open a 3G connection.
Best regards

Yes, there is a way. Just go to settings-->connectins tab-->connections-->advanced tab-->select networks and select the one you want to use.
In WIFI settings you have to select the same connection at the "connect to" option!

Hi demacus
Thanks for the reply, but I have some trouble following you guide. First in my Select networks I have to networks, “3” and “Arbejde”. 3 is the name of my ISP and the one that’s currently selected to be used by programs needing access to the internet. In my Wifi “Connect To” option I can’t select the “3” I can only select between “Arbejde” and “Internet” which is just to default networks.
So my question is still the same, how do I make the diamond use a wifi connection if one is present else enable a 3G connection and use that.
Best regards
Mads
Err... in my case, the way it works is.. if I connect to the Wifi, then 3g gets disabled for as long as I am connected to a Wifi network..
If Wifi is available and you ARE CONNECTED (just available isn't good enough, you have to be connected), my Touch Diamond doesn't use the 3G.

Select Connect to The Internet
Hey L o r d R a j
The Internet option i am talking about have a description saying that its for use when connection to a VPN connection. My Wifi is active and if i change the setting in the Connection tab to use "Mit Arbejdsnetværk" the wifi works perfect for the browser etc.
Not sure what I or the danish rom i have is doing wrong. But i cant get it to use the wifi if its there, if not use the 3G.
If anyone have any ideas please let me know, thanks
Best regards

Hello,
I have an problem. When i'm connected to Wifi and launch Opera, weather update or anything else which uses internet. The diamond makes connection with the 3G/GPRS network. The wifi is being ignored or something.
I thougt that i had seen this problem before on this forum, but i searched and can't find it anymore.
Does anybody know an solution or knows where i can find one?
Grtz
You can set network priority up somewhere, i'd be of more help but i don't remember where this is in settings
I have also been looking for a solution to set network priority as wlan first but cant find where to..

I've been reading this site a fair old bit recently! First time i've been influenced to post though. I'd also love a solution to this. Does anyone know how to change priority settings? I swear i'd turned GPRS off, but whenever I check the weather or internet, it connects, sometimes even when I have a wi-fi connection active.
I wish to only use my Diamond with the wi-fi, don't want to get raped on the data charges. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

That's the exact issue i have! Its bloody anoying!
how about using NoData or from Advance configuration utilities in comm manager actually disabling all other connections ? i've been confronted with the same problem many times and rather use the available Wi-Fi over the mobile internet connections, so that helped me
That's not good enough for me. I have a databundle so when i'm not at home i wanna use that internet. But when i'm at home i want wifi!
I think i found the problem. When you make a connection with a wifi network you can choose between "internet" and "work". When you choose internet there's nothing wrong. When you choose work it doesn't make some kind of internet connection so programs fall back to the gprs.
I'm having the same problems. I'm having a data subscription so don't want to disable it in total. What I tried was go to wifi settings --> network adapters. Selected internet from the drop down box on top (work was default for me). But Opera still connects through 3G or G. What settings did you change exactly Rik_X?
The settings that i changed is when you make a new wifi connection it asks if you want to connect as 'internet' or 'work'. You have to choose work.
With wifi networks allready configured you have to do the following:
Go to comm manager --> turn on WLAN and let it connect to the network --> then push settings --> Wireless LAN. Then go to Networkcards (in dutch its netwerkkaarten) (its under the SSID)
Then click on the connected network and change work into internet. Accept the setting and with a reconnect its works (for me)
Good luck

Hi,
Is it possible to make my HTC diamond attempt to connect to the internet through my Home WiFi connection before it connects via 3G.
Basically I want WiFi to be default and only to use 3G whilst i'm roaming about.
Cheers
John
If you turn your wifi on and set it up for your home network. then as long as the wifi is still on, it defaults to using that first. If your not at home just shut the wifi off
It's not perfect, but I haven't seen any other methods out there.
MoDaCo's NoData is what you need:

I have question about WiFi. Every time I turn off display (or turn off itself automaticaly), it disconnect from network but when I´m on ICQ then I cant recieve any message. Is possible to be connected permanently?
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!
Cheers
