Hi. I am new to tasker and have a very specific scenario I'm trying to solve. The problem I am trying to address is this.
My connection to Android Auto Wireless is through wifi. Since Wifi is utilised for AA, I will get the notification "This Wi-Fi network has no connection to the internet". When I tap on the notification, I will get a dialog popout with the option to "keep" and "switch network" . When I am away from home, I get "keep" and "use mobile data". I need to "use mobile data" for it to work.
What I plan to do is :-
When connected to car wifi, use mobile data. What is the best way to achieve this?

I have been reading WiFi threads on here for hours but can't seem to find the right answer.
I have a WiFi network at home that I can connect to when enabling Wi-Fi through the Comm Manager. My Wizard is running Xelencin's T-Mobile USA 2.26 Custom ROM (Wizard/MDA).
The problem is, when I'm at home and fire up Pocket IE, the phone tries to connect using GPRS rather than my WiFi connection. What I want is for Pocket IE to use WiFi when I'm connected to WiFi, and GPRS at other times.
Many posts reference going to Start > Settings >Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks, and changing the settings for "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet..." to either "My ISP" or "My Work Network".
I have 4 items listed in these drop-downs:
My ISP
T-Mobile Data
T-Mobile MMS
My Work Network
When I look at the settings for "My ISP" there is one connection defined called "T-Mobile WModem Link" that is set to use the modem "Cellular Line (GPRS) and access point name "wap.voicestream.com"
The settings for "My Work Network" don't show a connection listed at all. If I create a new one, my options for selecting a "modem" are:
Bluetooth
Cellular Line
Cellular Line (GPRS)
Generic IrDA
Hayes Compatible on COM1:
None of these seems to be right for a WiFi connection.
The settings for "T-Mobile Data" are the same as the settings for My ISP except the connection is called "T-Mobile Data"
The settings for "T-Mobile MMS" are also the same (GPRS and wap.voicestream.com).
It seems like T-Mobile is blocking me from using Wi-Fi as the default internet connection. I really like this ROM and would prefer not to change it. Can anyone help?
with my Wizard as long as i'm connected to a wifi network (and i have an IP address and gateway from that network) it will browse with it... only when i'm not on any network connected to the internet (including via USB Active sync) does it connect using gprs. The "My ISP" conenction is configured for my GPRS Network.
Somehting i can suggest is that you open Network Adapters, select your WLAN Wireless Adapter and choose "this network card connect me to The Internet"
good luck!
PS make sure the wifi network your conecting has a shared internet connection... if its not shared your phone will use GPRS even if its connected.

I have no problem browsing with Wifi. My wireless connection isnt the issue. My problem is not being able to make Wi-Fi, my default internet connection.
I think this works
I think this is the thread that solved it for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=261438&highlight=internet+wifi+gprs
To be fair, I usually have to try a couple of settings to get it to work automatically, but eventually I do.
No luck for me. I think I'm just going to have to learn how to cook a custom extended rom without the "T-Mobile_Network_Customizations.cab", and then hard reset. Is there a simple way to delete that cab file from the extended rom and also make that change to the "Config.txt" file (in the extended rom)? Anytime I try making changes to the extended rom via Total Commander, all the files in the extended rom end up looking garbled.
Ok, this was working fine on the original AT&T ROM, but since I flashed to dutty's ROM, I cant get it to work. How do I force the phone to use wifi for net access when wifi is turned on, as opposed to medianet? Currently, I have to keep manually switching from medianet to "my work connection" in connection settings.
You can use Kaiser Tweak to set it to disconnect the GPRS connection after a set amount of minutes of inactivity. Then, when you enable WiFi, it should connect ONLY to WiFi.
I think the OP needs to sort out his "work" and his "internet" instead of just trying to turn off radio data.
I have medianet set to internet and my wifi set to work...not really clear what "work" is....just want to automatically use wifi when wifi is connected, and cant find the option to do that.
Anybody???
I did set both connections to "work".
Additionally I added my tmobile gprs connection to the work profile.
All seems to work great.
I can acces my network shares over wifi and connect to the internet. When no wifi is available it connects via gprs.
I keep getting confused on this same issue. i installed the same rom we are talking about. it shows up for me when setting up email accounts. with my wifi turned on, it still tries to go out the 3g connection. I want it to use wifi if that is what is turned on and i think that was working on the death star rom. For the drop down that says "The Internet" I basically want that to point to wifi if on then fall back to 3g. How do we do that?
It should not be named "work".
So whats the solution here?
Under Connections....Select which networks are automatically used:
Programs that connect to the internet should connect using ???
I can either choose Medianet or my work network, I'd like for it to use wifi when available, how is this done?
Programs that connect to a private network should connect using ???
I have this set to my work network.
Easy Solution to 'Auto Wifi"
Buy an Iphone, works seemlessly, and you get a browser too which works, something these HTC phones havn't had in 3 years.
The easiest way to force wifi (since gprs can be acting as a ***** ), is to keep wlan enabled and to install the NOGPRS.cab (aka the modaco nodata plugin) which allows you to disable (but keep) the gprs settings and which you can toggle on (and back off) when needed.
Great little app, saves much annoyance!
Is there an easy way to toggle wi-fi on/off, that can be assigned to an icon or button? At the moment I have to open Comm Manager each time and do it from there.

Strange issue with my Tilt... when my apps try to connect to the internet using MEdiaNet they just close out... when I use them on a wifi connection they work with no issues.... Internet connection sharing also works fine when I tether to my laptop....
Currently using ROMeOS 3.5
Any ideas?
---UPDATE----------
After a hard reset this is the current status-
Apps are no longer closing out but some are getting a "cannot connect with current connection settings" message
PIE- connects with no issues
Google Maps- connects with no issues
Internet Connection Sharing- connects with no issues
Skyfire- Does not work... keeps on checking for flight mode
Email- Does not work- "cannot connect with current connection settings" message
is
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
set to my isp or whatever your device have named the gprs settings profile
if not change it so it is
Also if you have at&t go to start/settings/connections/connections. You should see MEdia Net with options underneath and My Work Network with options underneath it. Underneath MEdia Net, click the option set up my proxy server. Disable the option that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet." Hope this helps
I started having the same problem the other day. My pocket outlook will not connect using Media Net, I get the "Cannot connect with current settings" message. i didn't change anything before this started and I have tried all of the above suggestions. Does any one have any other suggestions? I will do a Hard reset only as a last resort. Thanx
I just got the TYTN II but I lost my data plan. so I only use the wifi to connect to get the data. The problem is that I went ahead an deleted the connections that was constantly giving me the popup connecting to the 3G. GPRS. popup. I had go.cbw.com as the connection and the connection reffered to the Cellular GPRS, 3G. I deleted the connection completly and my wifi does not connect to the internet even. so I have to have a connection , pointing to
4 options:
Bluetooth
Cellular Line
Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Hayes Compatible on COM1:
I select the Cellular and I constantly get popups saying cannnot connect .
I dismiss, but everytime the EMAIL system check email (SEVEN) it pops up when there is no wifi connection. If I connected to wifi no problem and I get no popup. I tried changing it to hayes comp and it noww pops up the username pwd thing. So how can I have a connection
Actually I have to have two.l
1 for internet
1 for Bluefire VPN
then each connection has to has a modem and that is where I am getting stuck.....
is there a way to have 2 connections, and have a null modem or something etc. so I don't know how to keep the internet working via wifi and not have the popups.
go to Star --> Settings --> connections -->Advanced --> Select Networds
then, you select a connection that has nothing with any conection, just like "my ISP" or "my word network" or create a new conection and give it no modem
I guess it will stop the popups conection you have when trying to connect to the internet.
Morning all,
I just got a touch diamond2, this is my first fone with wifi. a couple of questions!
when i'm at home or whereever and connect through wifi this has no impact on download limits within my fone contract?
Does the fone automatically no to use wifi for the internet connection when one is connected?
my fone doesn't stay connected to my home network, it finds it and connects ok but then a min or so later it says 'not connected, networks available'?
any help appreciated
Cheers

Hi,
Using WiFi connections at home will not contribute to your mobile data plan. Wi-Fi data does not go over the cellular networks, and therefore is not part of your contract plan. This also means that you can use VoIP, streaming video, and other services over Wi-Fi, whereas you may not be able to over your mobile data plan.
The phone will not switch automatically between Mobile Data and Wi-Fi. You would need to close the Mobile Data connection, and re-start with Wi-Fi every time you wanted to switch.
Your mobile phone WiFi connection may be entering a power-saving mode when idle; To disable this, download the Advanced Config Tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151 and install it. Open the Advanced Config Tool and look for the Network settings. The bottom two options should be "Turn off Wi-Fi if no activity" and "Wi-Fi Auto off timeout" Change these as appropriate.
Hope this helps!
Hi, here are my answers based on my experience:
1) When connected to a WiFi network (eg. home, work,school etc) your phone operator is not in the position to charge you anything.You'll be charged only if using your operator GPRS,3g etc services. If you want to avoid Operator connections use Nodata.cab or make the right settings in Advanced config or HD Tweak.
2) Once Wifi connection established, it should have the priority on other data connections.
3) Wifi connection stability depends on radio and ROM you're using, my solution is to to set "Maximum Performance" in the Power Management tab under Wifi Settings. Not doing this leads to instable or even "fake" connections: windows says you're connected but no data traffic occur This is the only workaround I know, any other suggestion is super-welcome!
Cheers
