Automatic Wifi connection - help

Hi to All,
ive got HTC TD2 and I am not using data tarif from mobile operator. Instead of GPRS/EDGE/3G I am using WiFi all the time. But there is a problem. Many applications use a default connection GPRS/EDGE/3G, so when I want to surf or whatever I have to go to switch on WiFi manually and than run that application, which is not comfortable :-(
Is there any setting or app that will set WiFi as a primary internet connection ? So if I will start any app with data conn. requirements, than WiFi will automatically starts, and connect.
Thanks for any help.
Mr. P.

hello and welcome to the forum
read here maybe it will help
PS. please try to search after the solutions, as they are probably out there!

Try TD2 Tools it has a selection which will activate Wifi initially then only revert to other data if not available, not use that much myself, but worth seeing if it works

Google Apps & Cyanogen

I just recently rooted my t-mobile Dream (G1) to the latest cyanogen rom and have unlocked it (because i live in canada), I have everything working except every time I try to setup my google account it says "You don't have a network connection" I don't have a data plan, so I need it to use wifi; I had no problem activating it over wifi when I had the original t-mobile rom on.
I have searched online for hours but have found nothing that works.
Please help. thanks!

Hmm really u searched for HOURS !!!! ????
Neway, i search for a minute and found this

I'd assume same should work for htc dream (Rogers). If it doesnt u can always put ur apn in and use data for like 5 seconds to activate

You posted in the Developers forum -- the Q&A forum is where support-esque queries go. A mod will likely move this thread shortly.

First, there is a section called Q&A that its for QUESTIONS and ANSWERS, and you posted a QUESTION, looking for an ANSWER...post it on the correct section, and wait for someone to reply...

ive noticed on the latest roms that i cant activate google accounts over wifi. i have to turn off my wifi and use 3g. but other than the initial setup everything works over wifi. this happens on the latest stable cyanogen, and also the eclair rom from his source code.

Weird, i can, in fact, i ALWAYS do it over Wifi, i dont have a data plan, so i do it on my home or at college...

i can use the phone and wifi no problem (accessing the web using youtube, using exchange email etc) ... the only problem is that it doesn't seem to be wanting to use the wifi to login to my account. I attached the adb logcat but its pretty long and confusing.

K from ur log it says Checkin disabled because background data is turned off
try turning tht on n c wht happens

ok, slight problem ... it seems to enable that function its under settings>data sync. except when i click that it quickly flashes the "background data" checkbox and other options but then instantly switches to the google login window. is there a adb command or something i can use to enable it?
Thanks!

nvm got it working by using cyanogen's widget.
Thanks for all your help!

Same prob
I was having the same problem, but my background data sync was turned on. I was only able to set up my google accounts by using 3g

[Q] No 3G on Rooted Samsung Captivate

I rooted my Captivate last night using Super One Click and the Youtube video from MobileTechVideos. I installed Titanium Backup and uninstalled all the bloatware along with Tethering Manager to allow for mobile hotspots. However, this morning I discovered I now have no 3G access and can only access the internet via my wireless network. I haven't come across anything online to suggest how to fix this problem. I've tried restarting my phone but this didn't work. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Any suggestions guys?

Use ODIN one click to go back to an out of the box state and see if the problem persists. If it does then it could be your hardware or AT&T's fault.

Have you enable the data in wireless settings? maybe it has left uncheck.

If your with Rogers flash a different modem and that should solve the problem

Sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. All I needed was to check Use Packet Data in the Mobile Network Settings. Thank you for the easy fix! I was getting ready to unroot and start again.

I am confused...by wireless network you mean like the one from your network(for eg: ATT) one right? your problem is that you are getting EGDE but not 3G? I am sorry I didnt get your problem.

Glad you did. anyway we are not perfect sometimes we may overlooked something due to excitement or what other feelings as a result of what we do and clouded up our troubleshooting instinct. The best way is to be calm and don't panic it's just part of being a rom flashaholic, overtime it will increase your confidence and skill.

[Q] Android OS using data in background

Hello everybody,
I am in big trouble. Android os is using my data in background. please explain me why i can't control this background usage.
I turned off every sync. I used droidwall, data manager, apn switch but still eating my data. please kindly help me how to solve this thread?
data switch should have control of all data usage.
thanks for reading my thread.

You are turning Mobile Data OFF but the phone is still using mobile data ???
Data use in the background is usually apps updates .
If mobile data toggle is off it uses no mobile data only wifi .

Hi Everyone, my friend is having the exact same problem, the status shows Android OS has downloaded 300+MB today. Anyone know what causes this? He has updated to the latest stock version of the OS via Keis. I have check all his other app settings and they are only downloading the usual 5MB per few days. This is very annoying.

If you set a limit in data usage it should cut it off when you go over it. I'd probably try a full wipe and start from scratch

One an app downloading two play updating apps three software OTA updates in the background .
Find something on Play store that monitors individual apps data usage .
Or just turn mobile data off .

Won't it show an app downloading in the notification bar if it was updating anything from the play store? Also I have turned off software update and still nothing, I have downloaded an app to monitor data usage and Android OS still shows the most downloaded. What is going on? This is frustrating.

Turn Mobile Data off and test .,

Mobile Data is off so that nothing gets downloaded, that is the first thing I told him to do. I am at a loss as to what else to tell him. The only thing I can think of is installing another stock ROM via Odin.

If Mobile data is off then you need to be sure that its actually using data and check via the network .

Yes it is using the data as he got a text message from EE saying that he has nearly used up all his data plan and will be charged if he goes over it. So something is downloading as Android OS, an update has been done and am stumped. All other apps have their own download info so unless some other app that is badly made.

So that means Mobile Data is not turned off check the toggle .

Yes it is turned off. But when he wants to check FB, or News on the Phone it starts to update when he switches the phone on. He just text me and said that he has used up all his data and now is on 2G and can't afford to switch on 3G. So he will have to wait till the end of the month before he can use 3G. So I am not sure what to do. It seems a lot of people have this problem but it seems that no one knows what causes it. I thought it happened mostly on ICS but I have seem some people saying that their ROM (JB) has done the same thing.

Its a question of tracking down the updating app .
Turn firmware updates off in the settings for one .
Have a look on Google Play My Apps update them over WiFi .

I have installed that. But it still displays the same info also I have checked the settings for updating the apps and it is on WiFi only. I think I will have to Root the phone do backups and re-install via Odin.
It has downloaded 8MB this morning in a couple of hours.

problem solved
After finding several solutions, i change apn setting to pap mode. And i use droid wall and i allowed only facebook, candy crush and browser on 3g and allowed everything in wifi. Now its ok and no data use in background.
Thanks for your replies to my thread. Member.

Google+ is the culprit. Disable/uninstall it and you'll be back to normal

[Q] WiFi Turn On by It-self. Why?

Hey Guys,
I saw many threads about this, nothing with Z1, and I can't figure out where is the problem.
Like the title says WiFi turn on by it self. I am on .136, no root, nothing, and I never saw this issue before, maybe because I leaved WiFi on all the time but now I have to use 4G to call people with Skype and I want WiFi Off, but I can't. All the time I leave my phone for few minutes WiFi appear to be On no matter what and my battery drain quickly.
I am sure is Android involved in this but how can I fix it?

Who knows? and what you mean?
They are not separated. For Google's location Section, if WiFi is Off Google will use Mobile network to determine my approximate location.
There is no reason to turn it on, or I missing something?

Go into settings and power management... There is an option for location based wifi...if that's on your wifi comes on when your near a location you used wifi before...is just a power saving option

Maybe clear cache and data in the settings app see will that make a difference...you will lose all your saved settings but sure it's better than a factory reset haha

Are you running battery guru? If yes it will turn on Wi-Fi automatically if it comes in range of that network.

Thanx Mate, I finded that Battery Guru have the ability to manage my WiFi so I set it up like I like and it should not turn on anymore. I hope I will not come back here soon.
Thanx.

Not sure if it will control wifi but the app that controls connection and stuff could also be doing this. Like wren you put it to charge it whatever event is the trigger.

It was Battery Guru. I just disabled manage Wi-Fi based on my usage and don't manage Wi-Fi for at last 4 hours in Advanced and it not turning on anymore. I do it manually. Very happy now. Battery life stay up longer.
