hello
i see on my bar the wifi is on and indicates that is on and also the gprs with the arrows is on
so what am i using ?
wifi or gprs?
You should be using wifi to connect to internet while indicator is on.
When you lose wifi signal you start using gprs phone signal.
you should only have 1 on at a time, you sometimes get both for few seconds when you have enabled wifI.

Does the sign for the wi fi has ! next to it? If it does it means that your phone has found wi fi network but you havent connected to it, and so you are using gprs.

Hello, I was curious if I can use 3G and wifi at the same time. When I turn on wifi it switches 3g off if a network is present. Can I have them both working at the same time
Hi, in my opinion this will not work. How should the data be separated? As far as I know you or the sw has to decide which packets have to be send over which connection. What do you need this for?

Not as far as I know. It's senseless anyway
I am with 3 uk and they have skype but it only works over mobile network, when I use wifi it stops. That's why I need it, no other reasons
When I installed my ROM, and on first boot I was given an option for when to use data.
Wifi only, or WiFi and Mobile Networks.
Now, I am going on holiday in a week and wanted to switch it to WiFi only to avoid data roaming charges.
Can anyone help, I cannot find it in the settings.
Settings > wireless and networks > mobile network.

Obviously I looked there first. There doesn't seem to be a "WiFi Only" option.
If I just deselect Data Roaming, will that essentially do what I want?
Yes, just turn off mobile network and turn on WiFi.

In the widgets > settings widgets you can choose mobile network and wifi network (as well as gps and bluetooth) screen widgets so you can toggle them on and off.... when not wanting to use mobile data, its good to have those widgets on one of your screens (as the dashboard widgets are usually missing one or another of those 4 essentials)
saves time from going into the settings repeatedly just to turn something on or off.

It is stated in the setting that it enable/disable data packet usage over mobile network. It has absolutely nothing to do with your phone call whatsoever. What makes you think that way?
Just kidding. In extreme cases, to prevent data on moblie network, one uses firewall to block access to any applications that try to access it.

All you need to do is deselect Mobile Network. Even the description says its used to connect to the internet.
a question really easy
Just wondering but if you are connected to wifi does your network connection automatically drop 4g to 3g? Or is 4g and wifi on at the same time? When I turn on wifi the 4g symbol above my network symbol disappears but im not sure if 4g is off or not.
Thanks!
Your phone drops cellular data connection while on Wi-Fi and then reestablish it when you disconnect from it. So it will cycle through when it starts back up.

Yes,I noticed it with mine too..but i think it will still use Wi-fi network when you browse(i tested it with speedtest app,it used Wi-fi)
It seemed to keep saying couldnt connect wifi using mobile data on Att messaging app, it didnt seem to be using the data connection for anything else and was only sending/receiving on wifi

I noticed mine seeming to drop from wifi when the screen is off for a while, even though I have it set to leave wifi always on.
When I would turn the screen on, it would show LTE, then LTE and wifi, then just wifi and give me the message that it connected to wifi. I also noticed the icon for the preloaded AT&T Smart Wi-fi. My assumption is that this app is causing me to drop from wifi when it shouldn't be.
I disabled AT&T Smart Wi-Fi and haven't had the problem so far today.
Jrockttu, thanks for your suggestion, it was driving me nuts. I've just picked up my Note II yesterday and UNFORTUNATELY I enabled the AT&T Smart WiFi app (and then forgot about it, of course). After that I couldn't stay connected to WiFi, the WiFi radio kept cycling on and off, it was maddening. Luckily I found this post, and after disabling the stupid app, now I can stay connected to WiFi.
Hi folks,
I live in an area with many dead zone (cannot receive signal) so when I drive my N3N very often jumps from good 3G or 4G reception to no connection at all.
Here is the problem : when connection get back I see 4 or 5 signal bars and the 4G sign but in fact I can't connect to Internet at all. I have to enable/desable plane mode and then Internet connection works fine.
That is very boring !
Have experienced same issue ? An hints are welcome.
My N3N is stock rom 4.4.2 rooted.
Thanks
