I would like to create a task on Android 12 to run the "fix connectivity" under internet. I would like it to check my cellular connectivity first and if not connected run the fix connectivity. Is this possible. I would at least like to run it when disconnecting from wifi. Since my phone updated I have been having problems with my cellular connection going to not connected, while still having bars, after being on wifi for a period of time. It does not connect back when disconnecting from wifi. When this happens I can't receive certain texts and can only wifi call.

I'm in the UK, and using a Touch Diamond.....on Vodafone 3G. When I'm connected to WIFI, I obviously want to use that for data, rather than use up my precious data allowance.
When I'm connected to a WIFI connection, how do I know Opera/IE/Email are using WIFI - and not my 3G connection? There are times when I'm in my house, and I know it's using my phone data connection, as it's just so slow (very limited reception 3G in my house)....whereas the WIFI should be pretty fast.
i COULD be wrong here.... but the way i know is if the WIFI icon at the top shows connected. If you rphone cant find the WIFI, it'll always divert to a data connection. Play with your phone around the house, see where you get connectivity and how strong to your wifi.

Yes I know when I'm connected to WIFI and how strong it is....what I want to know is how I know whether my phone is using 3G/GPRS - when I am connected to WIFI and want it to use WIFI and not my phone network. There seems to be no indication to show you are actually 'using' the WIFI network over the phone network....

Turn data connection off, turn wifi on.
Do that before you use internet and your sorted.
On both my Diamond and Touch Pro, the Wi-Fi icon appears on the task bar when Wi-Fi is available. Same goes for 3G.
Also note that some programs call for a certain connection method automatically. For example, you will note that some programs initiate 3G instead of using your Wi-Fi connection. Hopefully, there is a configuration option for such apps.
Cheers.
i don't know if you notice it, but if you are connecting through E or H or G or 3G.. the reception bar instead of the antenna you will get the corresponding letter if you are currently connected to one of them
As long as your WiFi is on and none of those letters are showing up.. you will be fine
I'm currently running Phoenix 4.1 and noticed that even with wifi connected, it shows that it's scanning for new networks every few seconds. Is there a way to stop the constant scanning for wifi networks even when it is currently connected? I don't really want to have to set it to disable wireless on sleep since my work connection requires you to accept the t.o.s. every time you connect.
Not that I've found and I've looked too. A "feature" of the wifi so if you're moving around it will connect to open networks.
All of the WiFi issues I have found seem so to be that the WiFi cant connect properly.
I have the opposite problem in that I am not often near free networks. When I leave my house, I turn the WiFi off on my phone.
So I will be watching something on youtube or updating mail at work and everything will just quit. I check the connection and the WiFi is back on and everything stopped because it is trying to connect to WiFi and not staying on my Sprint data connection.
How do I make it quit? I will be at work where there is a highly secured WiFi connection used by some of the more remote robotic systems. My phone will suddenly pop up and tell me that a WiFi signal has been detected and I will get better service by using that connection.
I only want to use WiFi when I turn it on - not when the phone suddenly decides to turn it on.
Thanks

If you're on Sprint then you have an S4 and are in the wrong forum. This forum is for the S4 Active.
Hi, I'm new here so forgive me if I do something wrong^^
First of all, I have a Moto G 2014, Dual Sim which is running on 5.1.1, to be more specific, this ROM. I was using this ROM for about 4 months already so that shouldn't be the issue. My problem is that after my phone connects to the internet, usually using H+. The connection to the internet is working perfectly fine, but after a while of not using the phone it loses the connection. It still tells me that it got a strong H+ connection, but nothing (browser, apps, anything) is able to connect to the internet. Enabling & disabling airplane mode usually fixes the problem. From time to time it also happens, usually when I lost some sort of wifi connection (regardless if I disabled wifi or I got out of range) it happens that it shows full connectivity but with an exclamation mark. This only goes away if I reboot or enable & disable airplane mode again.
Is this issue known/is there any solution to
I have been experiencing the exact same thing as of lately. I thought it was a byproduct of downgrading from (Stock) Marshmallow to (Stock) Lollipop (yes! it's happening even on stock ROM) where at times the WiFi losses connectivity when the phone had been sleeping for awhile...even though I have the "Keep WiFi on during sleep" option on under WiFi's advanced settings. I had no idea that it also happens with data connections ! ...as I don't use it (too expensive for me), now I'm uncertain what could be the cause. I can see how this would be an inconvenience if you use a lot of social media apps as I sometimes do not get my WhatsApp messages when this happens and sometimes I don't even receive my Hangouts messages until I open the app manually.
It's strange, at times when my phone sleeps for awhile and it losses connectivity and I wake it, it will reconnect just fine and other times it just goes into this state where it reconnects with full signal strength but with an exclamation mark next to the WiFi icon in the notification bar. When this happens, no matter what I try it stays in this state, I tried turning off WiFi and turning it back on, also forgetting the network and entering the info and reconnecting to it but none of that works. I didn't know that turning on and off airplane mode can help....I'll have to try that one, rebooting the phone was the only solution I found which is just inconvenient and somewhat annoying.
I too, am interested in a proper solution. I don't know why the phone ignores the "Keep WiFi on during sleep" option or why at times it connects but have not internet access! It should be noted that it's not a problem with the network, It's not due to an incorrect password or anything like that as I am the one that administers those things and when it happens other WiFi devices such as my Tablet PC, Laptop etc can connect and access the internet just fine and it only happens sometimes on the phone (Moto G 2014). This doesn't seem to happen in Marshmallow...but I hate Marshmallow and I can't remember having this issue on Lollipop post Marshmallow update (how I wish I had never tried out Marshmallow!!!), which is why I thought it was related to downgrading, .......did you downgrade ?
Hi:
My S21 Ultra is the T-mobile variant, in the US.
The Wi-Fi advanced setting for "Switch to mobile data" is nonfunctional, because it has no effect when turned on.
I'm hoping that others can verify this problem: When you are connected to a non-functional Wi-Fi signal (e.g., your phone displays an exclamation point (!) next to the Wi-Fi signal strength indicator), your phone should still be able to access the internet by switching to mobile data, when you have this advanced setting turned on.
However, with my phone, I *CANNOT* access the internet when I connect to a non-functional Wi-Fi signal, whether I turn on or turn off the "Switch to mobile data" advanced Wi-Fi setting.
I'm hoping others can confirm the same issue, so we can escalate as a bug that Samsung can fix. Or maybe somehow it's an issue specific to the T-mobile USA variants of the S21 Ultra?
Anyway, I'm guessing most people don't encounter this bug, because usually you are on a functional Wi-Fi signal. But in my situation, I *NEED* to be able to connect to a non-functional Wi-Fi signal, and access data through the mobile/cellular tower connection. The reason is because that's the only way I can update the firmware on my dashcam. My phone connects to the dashcam via Wi-Fi. That works, and the app can view the dashcam etc. But the app also needs a data connection to download a firmware update for the dashcam. But when I'm connected to the dashcam via Wi-Fi, the dashcam does not provide internet. So I'm stuck because the S21 Ultra *WON'T* access the internet when connected to the dashcam via Wi-Fi, because the "Switch to mobile data" setting does not work and is ignored, so the phone has no data connection whenever I connect to my dashcam.
I figure, if T-mobile doesn't allow this, then they should remove the setting as an option. Why include the setting if it's simply ignored and nonfunctional?
There are some added wifi settings in the developer mode like, wifi scan throttling and wifi safe mode, have you looked into these? I don't have any wifi problems on my S21U unlocked phone, not branded.
In my developer options, Wi-Fi safe mode is off, and Wi-Fi scan throttling is on.
But the issue is my phone refuses to connect to cellular data, even though I tell the phone to please connect to cellular data when the Wi-Fi is unreliable.
I'm not sure that the Wi-Fi specific options in developer mode would cause the phone to refuse to connect to cellular data.
Are you able to connect to an unreliable Wi-Fi, and test whether your phone can automatically receive info via cellular data *WHILE* you are still connected to the unreliable Wi-Fi? You can simulate an unreliable Wi-Fi if you have a modem connected to your Wi-Fi router, and turn off the modem but leave the Wi-Fi router powered on with no internet.
Also, can you check your developer setting for "Mobile data always active"? Is that on or off for you? I don't want to turn on that setting, because I want the phone to save battery and turn off mobile data when I'm connected to a reliable Wi-Fi. The notable setting for me is in advanced Wi-Fi, where the phone can "Switch to mobile data *ONLY* when the Wi-Fi is unreliable and doesn't provide data.
