[Q] [A] Use mobile data instead while connected to wifi network? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi..
Forgive my silly question. Any way possible for xperia z to use mobile data instead wifi while connected to any wifi network?
I use to connected to wifi network with no internet access, just for transfering data.. While i want to still use internet from my mobile network. It keep act like search data through wifi network (of course it can't).. So, is there any way to force my phone to use mobile data instead wifi?
Thanks

i have the same problem
hi
have you found a way to do this?
i just bought a wireless flash drive and i realized i cant use mobile data while using it so i cant use internet while sharing/streaming data from my drive.
please, please! if you ve found a solution, please let me know

Technically phone should support multi-path transport system, but phones work in the way to minimize data usage, so wifi have priority whenever ist connected.
It could be possible to make it work with custom kernel, but its just too messed up i think...
BUT
There is an app from xda:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.opbyte.superdownload_lite
that technically enable both connections, but it need root, and it doesnt support ftp/p2p
Also I personally didnt use it so you should read this topic before using it, and after that just check if it work for you.

I want it to use WiFi as default when available

Hi, I got my TyTNII (kaiser) on saturday and have just managed to sort out the wireless client at work.
I don't get free bandwidth from Orange so don't really want to be using my Orange web connection when I am actually connected to wifi at work. How can i set my phone to use wireless when it is connected rather than trying to open even more connections? Its really annoying as it keeps checking my email accounts and using HSDPA to do so.
Internet Explorer wont even use the Wifi
what use is a phone with wifi if it wont actually use the wifi to access the internet?
Could someone point me at the settings. There must be a setting somewhere to get it to use the connection!

I have had no problem using WiFi with IE or any other browser. I always connect to my router via Comm Manager first (enable WiFi) and then open IE or another browser and surf the net.
Just click on the network card tab when setting up wifi and make sure that the card is set to connect to "the internet".
Your device will use a valid wifi connection if its available (before trying gprs/3g)
You may also try installing a CAB called "NoData" or "KasierTweak" that will allow you to temporarily disable data services other than your Wifi. This is what I use since I am not on a data plan (yet) with AT&T.

ah yeah - just found this - it was set to 'work' simply because its my connection at work. obviously WM counts that has being different to 'the internet'
seems okay now.
Thanks for the help
If you have an active wireless connection, it will automatically use that connection instead of your data connection regardless.

default network connection?

Hi guys
I've got a question regarding the diamond, though it could also be possible that this is only a windows mobile question. Is it possible to *only* allow data-connections via WLAN and *not* GPRS/UMTS/whatsoever? I want to use this thing at home and at university but how does the diamond know which connection it should use? I don't want any byte sent to my provider which is quite expensive. What happens if I open Opera and WLAN is not connected? Does it auto-connect with $money-printing-machine-for-o2 or does it then tell me "hey, you are not connected. try within a WLAN-cloud"?
Thanks

if you remove the isp settings for gprs/3g/whatever
it will never use it for data
Ah, thanks! This is what I always did with my old mobiles. I thought you had to do a magic dance with wm to achieve what I wanted.
Does anyone know anyway to get opera to ask which connection to use when I fire it up?
I have search already but have only found something about 'My Work Connection' but that does'nt work.
Like th OP stated but I need to keep the data settings so I can use them when WIFI is not available.
Thanks in advance

Is there any utility like this?
Is there any utility, which will do the next:
If any program want to conect to internet it will ask me first how do I want to connect: Wi-Fi, 3g, GPRS? And I will choose...
I'm also looking for a solution for this problem.
Currently I has diabled the mobile data traffic by choosing an unconfigurated network at the "Programs that connects automaticly to Internet should connect with" screen.
This is fairy ok due to me rarly using other networks than wifi. But IF I do, I don't want to have to mess around with the network settings. I want an "choose your network" popup message.

Sharing data connection over wi-fi?

I have free unlimited data plan with my Diamond, and know that if using USB cable and PC I can get online using the phone as a modem.
What I was hoping somebody could help me with is can I share that same data connection on my phone over it's wi-fi signal, hopefully so i can use it while out and out to get my Sony PSP online?
there's an app called wmwifirouter that does just this it sets your diamond up as a wireless router very easy to use !
Short answer is yes...
... but then also depends on who your provider is. http://www.WalkingHotSpot.com is great.

Question about wifi and usb tethering.

Hi this may be a noob question but I can't seem to find an answer for the life of me.
If I connect to wifi and tether my G1 through usb, is it using data from wifi or from my mobile network.
mobile network
depends what rom ur using, the latest CM will forward your wifi to your computer afaik
Thanks for the replies so far, I'm using the lastest cyanogen rom if that helps any.
A simple test would be to turn off your mobile data, and see if you get the same speeds on the pc. Do the same the other way around and then have both connected at the same time.

while i thank you for the input i wanted network data connection, not the transfer of files. ie i want to tether the lumia to a nexus sharing its data connection over bluetooth rather than wifi.
sorry i not realize post wrong link

To use the shared data connection over Bluetooth, the device you're using must support the Bluetooth Personal Area Network User (PANU) role. To find out if your Bluetooth device supports this, check the documentation that came with it or check the manufacturer's website. To learn more about Bluetooth personal area networks (PAN) in general, check out the Microsoft Windows website.
Pair your phone with the Bluetooth device and connect to it over Bluetooth.
In the App list, tap Settings Settings icon > Internet sharing.
Tap Share over, and then tap Bluetooth.
Set Sharing to On Toggle On icon.
again i thank you but im trying to share the connection the other way around. i dont think its possible but hoping ive just missed something.
