[Q] Auto switch between 3G to wifi mode

This is a feature I was trying to use with WM6 in the past but it wouldn't work. My question has to do with Android in general and with either Desire or Desire HD.
Let's say that I use a 3G data contract and sometimes I have wifi available as well (but not always in reach). I want to save my 3G data because I pay per kb and prefer to use wifi when available. Is it possible for Android to automatically connect to WiFi when it is in reach and when I move out of its reach, to revert to 3G?
If not, what is the way to handle this? for example, do I manually enable/disable one of the 2 and try which works?

I just turn both data and WiFi on and leave them on. That way as soon as I am in a WiFi zone like at home, it will automatically connect to WiFi.

So, to make this even more clear: you have them both turned on (3G and WiFi) and WiFi will take priority? and revert to 3G only when WiFi is unavailble?
and we are talking about which model? or maybe it'a all Andreoid the same?

I think its the same with all Android phones. If both 3g and WiFi are on WiFi will take priority. I am at work and have both turned on...as soon as I go home, the phone will connect via WiFi automatically.
By the way I have a desire too.

Thanks a lot. That means that desire will do for me. I don't know if that has been resolved with WM though, maybe it will be with WP7 but I think that Android will e a better option for now.

Hi, you can also save battery/money with softwares that automaticly close 3g/wifi for night. I use "data on demand" and "settings profile lite" to close both for night and also close wifi when my location is not home.

Hi, both are free, just install through Android Market.

First of all try using full stops to end a sentence...
now about your problem...
I suppose that your phone does'nt connect to mobile network but u can connect to internet via WiFi. If your phone is not rooted (android v2.2.2) then you should ask this to your service provider and compell them to help with your problem.

Go into networks, access points... Aka APN, and change the settings. E correct settings should be in q and a or general forum... Based on what you saying.. Its my guess. Could be wrong tho.

WiFi issue

Quite often when I arrive home or to work where I have WiFi networks saved my phone will not connect automatically. When I go to the WiFi settings it says the connection is disabled, so I click on it and it asks me if I want connect, I click yes and it connects no problem.Anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?
Thanks.

I use WiFi suspension and when I wake up my m8 sometimes WiFi don't turn on.
It's say turn off and if I try to put on nothing happens.
Then I put in aero mode for one or more time, than WiFi turn on.
Not always, but sometimes happens.
I'm on viper 3.2.1

Have you tried to simply reboot the WiFi router? This clears up issues like this, a lot more than you would think.
Also, what band, model? Some simply don't play well with HTC devices.

1.80.617.1 issues switching from Wi-Fi to T-Mobile LTE

I updated to the 1.53 and then to the 1.80 firmware recently and have noticed that when I leave the house every AM; I cannot connect to T-Mobile (US). Often I must reboot the phone with wifi off or far away from a known signal to properly reconnect w/T-Mobile...I have a signal all the time, just not on their network.
Currently I am using a rooted stock 1.80 based rom and its daily now...anyone else out there experiencing this? Its almost like its the 1.80 firmware itself perhaps?

That happened to be a few times like two weeks ago, but not recently

Same exact problem as you. Only difference is I am not rooted.

Same issue here. Rooted stock 1.80.617 RUU.

I had issues with this yesterday and it turned out to be the wi-fi calling setting

Same issue here. On wifi at home and every morning I leave for work, when wifi disconnects I do not have LTE unless I turn airplane mode on and then off, then I would get LTE back. So as someone mentioned, this is fixed by turning wifi calling off? That's annoying. Not rooted, all stock here.

Same issue here, I've tried changing the wi-fi calling settings but no luck. (I have the T-Mobile HTC 10 and running US unlocked non rooted)

Thought I would let you guys know the 1.81 T-Mobile firmware doesn't have this problem. Even with wifi calling and VoLTE on.

Not sure i have had this issue ever. Tmobile phone running us unlocked.
Works on stk and supported cust roms, I etc..

I've got the same problem. Thought it was a hardware problem so got a different phone...same issue. I like the wifi calling feature, would hate to have to shut it off.

Some people mentioned that if you turn off wifi calling this would fix; I am still having the same problem. Also, sometimes just on wifi is like something messes up and I can't send texts and stuff. I've had people told me that they call me and my phone is like off or something, but it really is not. A simple airplane mode on/off fixes the problem, but this is getting really annoying considering the fact I'm not messing with the phone yet as I am all stock on latest firmware. I might have to flash something soon...

Hi guys,
What was your phone doing(e.g. Idle? Making a call? Playing games?) before you left Wi-Fi area and after you left Wi-Fi area?

It was idle in my case. Since the T-Mobile 1.80 RUU has been release moved on to it...no issues at all. Picked up a OnePlus 3 and mothballed the HTC 10 until CM 13 is under control for it.

I re-flashed the HTC 1.80.617.1 ruu hoping that maybe something had been corrupt during the update but it didn't seem to help the issue for me.

I'm on leedroid now and same issue... Maybe someone knows what's up.

Have this issue as well, on US unlocked running T-Mobile .

No mobile data at all

Same issue here. Leaving work, and disconnecting from Wi-Fi, I haves no cell service. Usually rebooting my phone corrects it.

I'm also having this problem. Seems like once a day my phone says it's connected to T-Mobile but I won't be able to receive or send texts and I'll consistently miss calls that go straight to voicemail for the caller. I'm on latest firmware stock and unrooted.
