i have the samsung galaxy note gt-n7000 the problem is when i want to use wifi i have to turn on the data too because i can't use just wifi i get no connection anybody have any suggestions
you can't use both of them at the same time... remember your phone has 2 radios.. Wifi, 3G.. your phone would switch radios from one to the other. IF you want to use wifi, it turns off 3G and vice versa. You can't have them both. Though you can connect your phone to your home router and at the same time mobile data would be ON. but when your going to go online... your phone would toggle between two radios and normally it would be using WIFI and temporarily disabling your 3G/4G connection. When your done with WIFI and turn it off, then that will be the time 3G will be enabled again.
That's how it is usually implemented.. not just with the Note but with any smartphones out there.
Web u on wifi... Data goes to off automatically.. How can u on both of them?

I have a question. Im using Gingervread 2.3.3 . I find it irritating to restart my phone if i just turn off my WiFi to use my 3 G. Is there any other way for my 3g to turn on itself once i off wifi?

just on the 3g by hold the power button for a second , and choose Data network mode and active it , after you use your wifi it will off , and after you aren't useing wifi it will on by itself
I have done that. My data network have never been deactivated before. But sometimes when i off my WiFi, my 3g doesnt on. Need to restart my phone then it will on.

When you turn on wifi, 3g turns off! But gsm phone calls will still go through!
I knowm but for my case, i off wifi, 3g doesnt automatically connect. I need to restart my phone then it will.

This problem started happening this evening for no reason.
Normally when I turn on Wi-Fi 3g turns off. But for some reason this evening when I turn it on the e or 3g is staying on even though I have full Wi-Fi signal( sitting next to it).
anyone any ideas how to fix this.

Maybe try wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache...
Are you on a custom rom?
Did you try a reboot?
You sure net trough wifi was not off?

Activate wifi and go to http://www.hostip.info/ from the phone to see what network interface the phone uses, if it's the 3G one it's probably the phone having problem detecting internet through the wireless router for some reason, if it's the wifi something is messed up im afraid.
Not sure where in the rom it's defined to shut it off when wifi is detected.
Hi, when I'm abroad using wifi (so no cellular data), my battery lasts longer compared to being at home, also on Wifi. how can this be possible? shouldnt cellular data be deactivated as soon as i activate wifi?
thanks in advance

Depends on what Wi-Fi network you're connecting to. In theory - 5Ghz network takes more battery than 2.4Ghz or a/b/g network. Also, signal strength also plays it's role - constant low signal forces the antenna to work harder - and at home you always get good signal.
Who knows, maybe that's the reason.
Maybe when you are home the data connection stays in the background waiting for you to drop off wifi network and therefore eats up the battery
but when you are on roaming the data connection is turned off completely to save on data bill
this is just an assumption...
what I usually do is when am at home or work, I turn off data and turn on wifi manually instead of letting the phone choose for me. I've found that this helps in conserving battery
No, thats not how it works.. Your cellular data connection is active, just unused.

I do this too, in fact I use Llama to do it for me. It saves a lot of battery.
Thanks, that's what I thought. But why can't android simply deactivate data when connected. I don't get why there is no such option.

Wi-Fi will not work unless I turn off my mobile data. I didn't have an issue with this prior to the update, is there a fix?
It seems to prefer 3G/4G for the initial connection, but it I turn data off, connect to my router, then turn data back on, everything works fine. The Data ON-OFF widget makes that easy.
You don't have the option checked in WiFi settings that says automatically switch between WiFi and cellular do you?

Hello All,
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 stock. I am in an area with hundreds of wifi SSIDs and I connect to 2 of them. I have noticed that if I walk away from wifi connectivity it it goes to back to LTE but it will no longer connect back when I am back in range of the wifi..
I look at my wifi settings and see if I can scan for any wifi networks, but i get nothing..
I have to restart the phone or put it in and out of airplane mode to get it to work again..
Any Ideas? I do use wifi calling.
Have you looked at this thread. It's usually where I send people with wifi issues first
