if someone an app to poll and connect wifi with phone screen off periodically or after disconnect when moving to a different place with a different wifi AP like eg. home to workplace and stay conencted ( always On)
Is that possible?
Just make an app that utilizes the background audio agent. This is the only agent that holds on to the data connection so put code in the agent implementation to poll and you should be fine. The bad part is that with anything, the agent will eat up your battery since it constantly holds on to the data connection.

Is there an app that chooses your preferred Wifi connection when it's available, like at home, over your Data connection? I know the 3G iPhone has something like this and i'd like to have that happen on my HTC TyTn running CRCs 13.0 Windows 6.1.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

SPB phone suite is one! That's why I use it!
which part of their package does what i want? i've had a look at their site
i don't want all that other stuff that they offer - just the automatic detection of my home WiFi and connection to it - disconnecting my Data connection

I did say 'spb phone suite'
Edit, not sure if it can be 'automated' you need to select a profile.
Mine works without having Phone suite installed.
When I'm at home I activate my Wifi - open activesync and sync my info. When done I simply close my wifi connection. When I'm on the road I just open activesync and it automatically opens my defauld data connection to sync via GSM / 3G. The process works simply enough.

I don't like the manual part of how WM uses available Data connections. It should be able to
1. Power on and Connect to a registered WiFi accesspoint when available
2. Connect via GRPS/UMTS/HSDPA... when no registered WiFi AP is present and power off WiFi to save battery power
Nokia phones with S60 (not FP2) operating system do support this function.

I have mine set to turn off the wifi if no network is connected in two minutes (wireless network, power settings). Sounds like you want something that will automatically turn on wifi every time you activate your device, instead of manually choosing to turn on wifi.
Before I had the wifi set to turn off, I found that was a pain in the proverbial, as it kept telling me about networks it found that I wasn't interested in connecting to!
Hi,
each time I use tethering on my Windows 7 PC it recognizes the connection as new (happens with USB and WiFi). I plug in the phone (or enable WiFi tethering) and Windows asks if this is a private connection and calls it network (or AndroidAP on WiFi). I plug it off and on again - the same happens again, Windows calls it network 2 (or AndroidAP 2). Next time network 3 etc. And with every number increase it keeps asking me, if this is a private or public connection, which is kinda annoying. My device is a GSM GNex running Stock 4.0.4. This happened with my SGS too. Any suggestions?
Lol same exact thing happens to me, it bothers me a little but is not like it hurts or affects the performance so I havent look into try to fix it

Sounds like the issue is on your PC end. Try naming your Hotspot something unique and putting PW security on it.
thx, i am using a custom name and wpa2 (no effect) but i used "androidap" in the post so that users find this thread when they want to google the issue.
Edit: I am experiencing the same behavior on my Windows 7 netbook. I tried Ubuntu on my PC - no bug here (WiFi and USB).
That is a Windows 7 fail.
This is a Win 7 issue I believe because it happens when USB tethering all 3 of my Android powered phones. I had over 150 network connections in Windows, until I found the "Merge or Delete Networks" option and was able to delete them.
Now I don't USB tether anymore. I have a datastick, and I also have a Linksys WRT54G with DDWRT flashed on it. Normally I use the datastick, but whenever I do need to tether I just fire up the wifi hotspot on my phone, the router connects, and it provides my lan with internet access.
Semi-Solution
I was having the same thing. It's just annoying, but you can remove the extra networks.
Right click on the network icon in your system tray, select "Open Network and Sharing center", click on the icon of your network, and on the resulting window there is an option to merge or delete networks (bottom left).
From here you can at least remove a load of networks!
Hello.
At work we have wifi network that has no interent, I use that network to transfer files from phone to computer, however whenever I connect to that network my phone looses interent connection too, because wifi become the only active network.
Is there a way allow 3g/4g network while connected to wifi?
Thank you.
P.S.
Using rooted stock rom.
Nope. One or the other

Sorry, but I can't believe that.
On Windows, for example, you can specify order, priority, of the adapters at which system will use to connect to the interent. It has to be something similar in Linux/Android...
Hello all!
Recently I've purchased the Swann DVR8-1425 security system.
I've been able to connect it to my home network successfully. I can remote view the cameras through my T999L (no root, completely stock) on WiFi through the SwannView app, but as soon as I put it into mobile data, it shows me a message of not being able to contact the server. I'm assuming if I were at someone elses house on their WiFi, it would be the same result. Same issue on my Dad's S2, rooted, running Infamous 3.0 in the T989 forums.
I've messed with most, if not all the settings I can possibly use with trial and error. When it comes down to it, obviously there's only the one setting that works with my WiFi (the given IP address from the DVR and a server port given: 9000) and it won't connect with mobile data whatsoever (2g, 4g, or LTE). I've tried using HTTP port 85 instead of the 9000, a preferred DNS server in place of the IP address, turning on and off UpNp (not really sure what that does). Absolutely nothing. Server connection fail each time when using mobile data.
I've disabled the firewall in hopes of it working, but I've had no luck. Haven't reset the router, assuming I just unplug and replug but other than that, I'm out of ideas. Not sure what else I can work on besides the firewall, if that even does anything.
The Swann software installed on my Mac does work, but haven't had a chance to test it somewhere other than my home network. It could work, but I wouldn't know at this point. Just more concentrated on the mobile data issue.
My knowledge is small when it comes to this networking stuff. Connecting to a WiFi hotspot is about as easy as it gets for me lol. I just got lucky with trial and error for setting it up with the home network. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this or ideas that may come to mind. At the worst, I won't be able to remote view anywhere other than using my wifi, but it will still record at least.
Thanks in advance!

^^^^^
Seems to me you should test the remote connection elsewhere before you start troubleshooting a problem thst may not even exist. If its not configured correctly to do what you want, its not going to work across the internet which would include the mobile data.
Make sure you can access what you want remotely, then test over mobile data. Unless I read that wrong it doesn't sound to me like you've done this. You can test the mobile data connection all you want, but if its not working remotely by any other means you will be wasting your time. (Unless you got lucky and configured it correctly, but as you said, youre not very experienced with this).
Until you verify it does work remotely, there's no reason to assume its your phone or T-Mobile that is the problem.
Tbh, I'd assume first it was a router config on your side. (Unplugging it doesn't reset its settings, and even if it did it may not be configured as needed by default.)
You'd probably find better support by going to the equipment website and router website.
Sorry I don't have the answer your looking for, but hopefully ill get you in the right direction.

After read this earlier, I facepalmed myself and went to go test this out. Drove over to Starbucks a few minutes ago, connected to their wifi through my phone and it didn't connect Hmm...definitely a router setting then. The dvr itself is connected to the router by an ethernet cable. Just a matter of figuring out how to configuring the router settings. Thanks!

Hey. I came across this page looking for a solution to a similar problem. My new swann system connects fine with my phone on Orange but wouldn't connect to my partners identical phone on Vodafone via mobile Internet. Both worked on wifi. I solved by asking Google for my ip address, then going onto the swannview link app, under my device is a button to edit, on the edit page where it has p2p if you tap the line it gives you another option to connect with ip, then enter your ip where it says host. Save details with icon in top right and log in. This solved my issue, hope it helps anyone with the same issue.

Hello..
I am also using Lorex wireless security camera for my home but till now I am not facing any issue because all configuration is performed by experts. But I have two fixes for your issue.
Either contact with Lorex Support Team for help or follow steps:
Check with your mobile data service provider to confirm if they allow streaming of constant information over their network.
Configure a lower substream video resolution in your DVR / NVR settings to reduce mobile data usage and increase your connection speed.
If you cannot connect to your cameras using an LTE or IPv6 connection, switch to a 3G connection.
If you are using a device ID through your mobile plan, set up a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) to eliminate the need to pass through the Stratus / FLIR Cloud servers.
Hope it helps!
I have an app that I would like to use on fire tv (unrooted) that will only work if it detects a mobile connection. In other words, the app is designed as a purely mobile connect application and will not work unless it detects an internet connection something other than wifi.
Since firetv is wifi only, is there something (app or setting) that can utilized to fake a mobile internet connection? I'm not sure how the app checks the devices ability to connect but if it does so by verifying sim card then obviously that cant be faked.
