Hi,
I have the Tilt 2 on ATT, in US. Currently running the following ROM
Energy.RHODIUM.21914.Sense2.5.Cookie.GTX.Aug.28
I turn Wifi on and off when I want Wifi/Faster internet. Is there a way to make the system use the WiFi over the 3G access when I have both on? As right now, to make it use WiFi I have to actually turn the phone connection off.

If you leave your wifi on all the time it is going to waste battery power, it would be better to just turn on wifi when you know that it is likely that you have a wifi access point within range. On my Trinity, wifi always takes over for browsing but for some reason retrieving mail can sometimes default to HSDPA. If you have a huge attachment to download, it is probably better to push the hangup button to turn off your data connection and just use the Wifi.
Wifi and GPRS switching
The only utility that I found useful for switching between Wifi and GPRS internet access is an application called "Bandswitch" (freeware).
Having problems with my turning my phone into wifi hotspot (have uk orange htc desire hd chocolate). Turn on the portable wifi hostspot ok, my laptop and my archos 70i tab can both find and connect to it ok, BUT it dont work - on the laptop it just says local connection only - on the archos just wont connect to internet. most frustrating. also some problems with the data connection - phone shows the h or g icon and the arrows, but not connection when try browser etc usually works after a restart, but who wants to have to restart the phone every time you wanna use the data connection?
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Same hotspot problem
I ran into the same problem yesterday. I was testing if the wifi hotspot functionality worked, to use my phone for wifi tethering. As soon as I turn on the function, my data connection (3G) is disabled.
Doe anybody know how to keep the data connection after activating the wifi hotspot function?
Thanx in advance!

Did you ever resolve or get an answer to this problem?
Just a quick Question on the radios on this device.
When the device connects to WiFi would it ever use the 3G radio?
I only ask because I've gotten into a routine where as when I get to work I turn on WiFi & then turn off mobile data & also enable 2G only. Just wondering if It makes no difference by the fact I'm setting the device to 2G only or if it does make a difference.
Thank in advance guys
Sorry if this is a basic question. I have looked around but not got a direct answer.
With WiFi and mobile data both switched on, the Note will (I guess) always use the WiFi first.
If the WiFi is on the edge of coverage, will it switch back and forward between the two or stick to Mobile Data? Is there anything I can do to adjust this operation?
If the WiFi is off during sleep and I unlock and immediately check email, will Mobile Data be used right away or will it wait until after checking for a WiFi signal?
I have a portable hotspot (a HTC Sensation with a shattered screen and tasker forcing wifi sharing on as long as the phone is on) works great but everytime I leave my bag and walk a few meters away I'd expect to switch to 3G, but every second time I do this the 3G just wont turn on so I am left without a data connection at all. Ditto when I walk out of range of my house wifi at the far end of my backyard.
Flicking aeroplane mode and mobile data on and off has no effect and I need to reboot the phone before I get 3G data back, phone calls and sms continue to work its just the data.
I'm on the stock Telstra ROM, rooted.
Does this ring a solution bell for anyone? Thanks.
