I don't know if this problem occurs only with the OP3. It seems the phone stiil uses 3G if Wifi is not getting a connection (wifi with exclamation mark)
When I connect to a wifi network that needs login, if I don't login the OP3 continues to use 3G instead of failing to connect. This causes me problems to access the gateway page to login, because it gets confused and it tries to access the private IP with the login page using the 3G connection..
I remember my S4 had a possibility of seamlessly switching between 3G and Wifi. Can't I disable this feature in the OP3?
Right now I have to disable the mobile data to force the login through the wifi connection. Is it just me with this problem?
This can be handy in some situations where you loose wifi connection in a public hotspot, due to a timeout, and the phone uses 3G instead of leaving you without any connection. But right now is causing me problems to connect and I must be carefull with huge traffic apps because you can be using 3G instead (look for the !)
I still haven't solve this annoyance. Currently the best workaround is to temporarly disconnect Mobile Data. That will leave the OP3 without internet access, and then it pops the login page (I guess it then assumes the gateway IP is private).
After logging in I can turn mobile data On again.
This is very annoying. Don't you have this problem, especially with corporate wifi networks that require login?

i'm trying to connect to my home network. It see's it and connects to it... but then straight after it connects to it it totally disconnects and the wifi is turned off... what could be the probelm?
Did the problem persist after soft-reset? If yes, did u install any profiles manager (like phoneAlarm etc. which u can switch wifi on specific time) or did u changed any wifi settings using advanced config/hdtweak/similar apps?
I have an issue with wifi where when i use my works wifi it connects and then should i check IP it clearly shows the works network, however...
when at home and connect to my home wifi it still says connected however when i check my network IP the browser is clearly using the t-mobile 3G internet.
It's baffling to say the least. I've tried closing browser, changing order i open connections etc but to no avail.
Any thoughts?
Hi!
I have a problem respectively a suggestion for improvement.
Every time my Galaxy Nexus recognizes an access point of my network provider it connects to it.
But I have to login with username and password to use the access points. And every time Android waits for the credentials to be entered it deactivates the GSM data connection because it thinks that the wifi connection is the better one.
It would be very nice if the GSM data connection would be persistent till the wifi internet connection is beeing fully established.

Ive searched the web and read about countless issues about lollipop wifi. but im looking for something specific which i cannot find elsewhere:
on KitKat when connecting to a hotspot (or any wifi for that matter) it would instantly connect to wifi and switch to that connection, regardless if the connection gave internet access or not.
on LP it seems to remain connected to mobile data and wifi does not give an IP address until a hotspot is logged in (using the sign in to wifi notification)
the problem is it doesnt always show, is there a way to switch the wifi policy to not perform a soft handover? or does this need to be baked into a rom?
I have an app that auto-logs into wifi hotspots for me, but because it does not get an IP address and apps are not able to use that connection, it does not work as intended.
FYI i am NOT talking about wifi to mobile data handover, its the other way around
Hi i used to create my own hotspots when i still had ADSL from my windows 7 machine. All my phones tablets other PC's would connect to it with no problem whatsoever.
I have found other uses for wifi networks that do not require an internet connection. Now seeing as i do not have an internet connection on my computer and some of these that i use only work if the network is not started by the phone, the hotspot has no internet connection.
This is where I think Android says screw the wifi without an internet connection lets use cellular to do things. The error it throws up is "Avoided Poor Internet Connection".
Is there a way to fix this without connecting the hotspot to an internet connection & without rooting or modding my M8?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Settings > Wifi > advanced
turn off auto-switch to mobile network
This should help
Another one in developer settings (however not ticked by default)
Settings > developer options
turn off aggressive wi-fi to cellular handover
These should help you if not already enabled. If they aren't then I'm afraid I don't know
Hi
I have been observing this for a long time this issue. When I connect to WiFi without internet access (like dashboard cam etc), my pixel doesn't show me a notification, that Wifi has no internet access. I don't see 4G/5G icon. Just an icon of wifi connection. I also observed, when I connect to a public hotspot (hotel wifi for example), Pixel doesn't redirect me to the website with the "login page" and I need to go to settings of WiFi, copy Default gateway and paste it to browser. The site with terms&conditions is shown and after agreeing I can use the internet access.
I am running on the latest updates, A13, using eSIM as a primary, 2nd SIM just for calling, the device is root. I Tried resetting wifi settings, resetting all "connection settings", try different settings (mobile data always on, adaptive connection, DNS, MAC automatically) but without any change.
Do you have any solutions for this? It is really annoying.
