Hey,
having had the phone for a few days and realising it wont even last a day if ikeep 3G turned on i have decided to turn it off, as i would only use it for data
Is there a way i can have it automatically turn 3G on when connecting to the internet and then turn it off again when i close the browser?
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 All.
I've got a problem on my International version of Galaxy S.
Sometimes when I restarted my phone, the 3G connection seems won't connect.
I tried to open Maps, market, browser, or any apps that use internet connection. But the 3G seems won't be able to be triggered to turn ON.
Funny thing is, that when I can find a wifi connection and connect to that wifi network, and disconnect the wifi afterward, then the 3G starts to be connected.
It seems that 3G can only be triggered by disconnection of a wifi network.
Can any one help me with this.
Thank you
Can you please clarify why 3G is disconnected in the first place? On my phone I never turn off 3G or WIFI but just let the phone switch on whichever it wants, this method has never given me any problems.

I didn't, I just restarted the phone, and 3G never start as I mentioned before.
All of the WiFi issues I have found seem so to be that the WiFi cant connect properly.
I have the opposite problem in that I am not often near free networks. When I leave my house, I turn the WiFi off on my phone.
So I will be watching something on youtube or updating mail at work and everything will just quit. I check the connection and the WiFi is back on and everything stopped because it is trying to connect to WiFi and not staying on my Sprint data connection.
How do I make it quit? I will be at work where there is a highly secured WiFi connection used by some of the more remote robotic systems. My phone will suddenly pop up and tell me that a WiFi signal has been detected and I will get better service by using that connection.
I only want to use WiFi when I turn it on - not when the phone suddenly decides to turn it on.
Thanks

If you're on Sprint then you have an S4 and are in the wrong forum. This forum is for the S4 Active.
Hi, I have an S21 Ultra 5G, (SM-G998B)and I have problem about 1 month ago. When I am connected to a wifi network, icons 4g is turn on and mobile data stop work. Only way to turn on mobile data is restart phone. What is the problem? I try everething and hard reset but problem not solved. This happens almost every day once or twice
Not sure I understand....the phone will NOT use mobile data when on Wi-Fi. You can force it by going in developer mode and boost speed by using both, that is not the default though. ("Mobile data always active")
"Mobile data always active" is turn off but 4g icons is active in same time as wifi network. After that I turn off wifi and mobile data not work but 4g icons still turn on.
I found out what the problem. Every time after sharing the mobile network via hotspot, when I go to Sim manager and turn off Sim 2, both icons appear and the mobile internet stops working.
1. Turn on sharing mobile data (from sim 1) via hotspot. (sim1 and sim 2 active)
2. Turn off sharing data via hotspot
3. Connect to any wifi (after connect to wifi, only wifi icons appear)
4. Go to sim manager and turn off sim2.
5. After that, both icons (wifi and mobile data) appear and mobile internet stops working.
Does this happen to others?
