Ive had a look around and i cannot find anything so i thought i would post a thread.
basically i want certain apps etc to think that i am connected to wifi when really i am using my 3g data. This would also help solve my MMS problem as i only receive them while i am on WIFI, so tricking my phone into thinking its on wifi would solve this issue.
Thanks for your help, any help in the right direction would be useful

I connect to internet via my local connection thru router. I have no problem within connection as I can use internet in my laptop.
Actually it was working in my mobile as well but suddenly it stopped working. I don't know any changes I have made but now I can't use internet either with USB or Bluetooth. I have tried many more settings but no help.
My radio is 1.27.14.09
Please let me know if I need to give more details.
So I have a Nexus One (AT&T/Rogers) and recently rooted it and installed Cyanogenmod 6. Since doing this I have been unable to use wifi on my phone, it connects and has a good signal but web pages simply wont load. Will updating the radio fix this?
Radio has nothing to do with WiFi. Kernel does.
I have not been able to find anything that would help me fix this. Could you please help me? My problem is really odd, the wifi says that it is connected and i can do basic stuff like Facebook and engadget but I cant browse the web, download apps or watch youtube. All of this stuff does work over the cellular signal.
Hard to say anything. Are you sure the problem is on the phone side? Did you check other WiFi networks, have the same symptoms everywhere? Did you check other ROMs? Did you ask in CM6 thread?
I have tried several wifi connections but not other roms. If anyone does have another suggestion please post.
Hi,
I recently updated to Froyo using the registry hack, i was on uk orange jf3 before.
Since being on it i have constantly been struggling with the 3g and the network signal, at first i thought the 3g was disconnecting when i turned the wifi on but then the network signal starting disappearing and it would show the circle symbol with the diagonal strike through it to show that it was not picking up any networks.
I read somewhere that cycling flight mode might solve the issue, but for some reason once i turn on/off flight mode it just hangs at that stage and will not change until after a restart.
I have also tried formatting both the internal and ext sd cards and i have done a factory reset twice.
Nothing has helped, it connects to 3g initially (which shows that it shouldn't be a setting problem?) and the network signal is also fine initially but then after a short amount of time or inactivity or switching on wifi the 3g won't connect and the network signal just dies.
If anyone has any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it i would really appreciate it.
Having a phone that can't make or receive calls when i need it to is really f'ing me off.
P.s. I have read and searched other topics for help on this but nothing so far has helped.

Yer i read your post, what i don't understand is that it was totally fine in 2.1 and now in 2.2 it's messed up, not sure if that is the same for you?
I think it is something to do with it being for Norwegian users not UK and that somehow affects it.
I have checked the apn and it all seems correct, do you also have the issue with flight mode not working properly?
Just found this on an internet search...
: Samsung Galaxy S v2.2/Froyo update
Posted: 5 days ago in response to: stefan
Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!
Kind Regards

Not sure exactly what that means but it sure sounds like this might be the problem i am having.
I would be interested to know if other UK orange users have been having problems?
I would also like to know if it is possible for me to go back to to a previous version so i can actually use my phone.
I am orange uk, and have similar problem at home, but works well at office. Maybe it is due to the barrier of signal. if the signal level is lower than this barrier, only emergency call can be.
I do not know how to do but my friend advised me to update the moderm
Hi,
let me thank you for all the help you may give me.
The problem is i get stuck on obtaining ip address or the cell doesn't even try to connect automatically so i have to manually start the wifi connection to the network after turning on wifi.
The problem of my SGS not connecting automatically is rare, the first is not, it's actually quite often.
I looked through all the guides and sugestions but i couldn't find any permanent solution for this problem.
Note: I've used the AllShare app but sometimes even that doesn't work.
Thank you for all help
The same problem kept happening with me. Some of the fixes which I tried were
Change channel on router - didnt work for me
Use the allshare app first - worked
Set up a static ip in advanced settings - almost always worked
But I have found that I didnt have this problem with other routers, only mine, maybe because of a power problem with the router.
Many of baffling errors are usually caused by bad input power to devices.
Hope it helps
Thanks for the reply, the problem is that i use it alot on my university, where i can't do any changes to their router (or use static IP).
Also the AllShare app is indeed a fix, but only if used every time i think. I'll do some more testing, this problem is really annoying and that's a shame because it complicates the use of most of the smartphone capabilities.
So if anyone else as another solution i would be glad to hear it.
Also i'm on stock rom installed by my operator Vodafone (had the same problem on JPY).
Edit: After a very quick test, it seems that using Allshare once does work, but i had the impression that sometimes it would be needed more than once (even without rebooting). TY for the tip.
Update:
After some more tests i came to the conclusion that at home i need to use AllShare every time i want to connect to my network.
This seems to be a problem affecting several users of SGS, does anyone know the answer to this problem? Or at least an app that minimizes it?
It's quite bad and very frustrating. Thanks, for any and all help.
I had the same problem with stock Android 2.2.1 on 3 phones all Galaxy S. Dropping the packages on voip calling, internet was slow most of the time. I use a linksys wrt54g with dd-wrt, I never had problems with any other devices.
My problem was solved when I installed GingerReal. Also on Miui I didn't had any problems with the wifi connection.
Maybe is just the stock driver incompatibility with some devices.
Thanks for the reply,
I've only had bad experiences with flashing, last time i did everytime right and Odin just hanged, i almost had a serious problem in my hands.
Since this is probably the first and last good phone i'll ever have, i would really like not to kill it (also some people in my family would be very disappointed, it was a gift).
So any workaround? Sorry i'm so insistent but i think that are a lot more people interested in this. TY.
This doesn't seem to work on P20 Pro. Scanning works, shows the strongest network - but it never switches. So annoying. Anyone else have same issue?
Ya me, does it give a solution ?

Helpful post
Ya i dont want to start another threads, if there is already one.
But seems like a "Samsung Bug".
Hi Theboylogan,
could you please tell me what do you mean exactly with "It shows most strongest Networks, but it doesn't switch.", which wifi network do you want to connect ?Please check that the WLAN+ is on.It is also recommended that you restore your network settings.
