i want to know if there is any setting or app that can detect the presence of wifi and automatically switch from mobile data to wifi and vice versa.
scenario - my office has a wifi network available, i prefer to keep my mobile data switched ON at all times, so is it possible to have this in such a way that as soon as i enter office, the phone detects the wifi, switches off mobile data and starts using wifi till the time i leave office, and then it goes back to mobile data ? this way i save on my mobile data usage. also a notification would be preferred to ensure its workin as desired.
any ideas ?
PS - i read about an app called "tasker" however i am not sure how to use it and if it will solve my purpose or not.
Just leave your WiFi on all the time and when your in range of a wireless network that your phone has remembered it should auto connect and will use the WiFi over your mobile data. I think most smartphones do that by default.

And as for the notification your 3g symbol or the H+ symbol should change to the WiFi symbol.

Tasker will help you do the job. Follow the guide, pretty easy.

Why mess about with tasker when his phone will do that automatically if he leaves his WiFi on?

My office is in the basement and and I only get about 2-3 bars of cell signal. I'm always connected to wifi but when people text me I do not get it until I turn off wifi. It only does that in this location. Anyone have a solution for this?
Is it a home office? It could be a firewall issue

No it not a home office. Its open wifi at a University. I dont think its a firewall issue because when I got up to the third floor in still connected to the same wifi and I am able to send and receive text.
It still could be, if you went 4 floors up a building, you undoubtedly changed access points, different floors usually means different switches as well, and the switch could also be connected to a different router, or VLAN in the switches. Different VLAN's can and often do have different access... based on access control lists or ACL'S. ..

You are correct but I know that all our APs are on the same switch and vlans. I should have said tyhis in my orginal post that it does work sometimes. Its usally when my cell bars drops below 3 bars that it doesnt work..
Okay, then it could be that it's intermittent on the cell connection, and the phone tries to run most of the connections through the wireless, and it's missing the connection on the cell side, and since it's intermittent, and it has a connection via wireless, it's not trying as hard to make the cell connection, and can't get the push notifications on the LAN side. When it gets enough of a cell connection, the sms push notifications make it on the cell connection, if you force the cell connection, it tries harder to make the connection work, it normally wouldn't to save battery use.

I went into wifi calling setting and choose use cellular first. Is that what you're referring to?
No, that's not going to do anything about the push notifications from the carrier for sms messages, that's for routing voice calls. You may want to contact your carrier, and explain the situation, and ask if the sms push notifications go only on the cell network, or if they go across the Internet, if they go across the Internet, talk to the universities IT help desk and ask if they block sms push notifications. As far as making your phone deal with the cell network differently, that would be a question more for a developer. ..

Try changing your APN settings.
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4/IPv6

This is how I fixed my phone from not sending/receiving text while connected to my Wifi at home. Copy down all of the stock APN settings and then create a new one and change the APN Protocol and APN Roaming Protocol to IPv4/IPv6.
I try to spread this information as much as possible because of how frustrating it was not getting Text. Also you have to turn off Wifi Calling or switch it to "Cellular Preferred.
Hopefully this fixes your particular problem. It did for me, after switching to T-Mobile.
Good luck!
Hi,
I have a really annoying issue and thats the missing option to turn of the 2.4GHz band. Corporate network usually broadcast all bands on the same SSID and I cant select whether I want to use the 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ band.
How can I go about changing this?
Heres a thread for the Samsung S3 that lost the same setting just to clarify what I need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p-wifi-band-switcher-switch-2-4ghz-5-t1891970
I'm using a rooted stock rom.
And don't suggest changing the "router" setting since were not talking about routers here, were talking Cisco APS on large corporations where they are broadcasting on the same SSID. And I'm looking for a mod to the phone so I can turn of the 2.4GHz band to verify I only can use the 5GHz band.
I think this was present somewhere prior to the Lollipop update.
So please help, Its just amazing to see that noone have had this request before since this is a network setting applied to most large corporations and in areas where the 2.4GHz bands are clogged with signals you need to force 5GHz... I have seen the request for other platforms but not the LG G3.
Go select advanced settings and select WiFi frequency.

That doesn't exist. Due to that fact I'm in need of help =)
What about you change your ROM? I'm using 5.1.1 and it has that option.

There is an app called WiFi roaming fix in google play search and find it give it a try
I would lpve to use another rom but from what i read there isnt any that can make the camera work to its full potential.
But ill try that app tomorrow and see how it works once it detexts multiple AP's and multiple bands on the same SSID.

There were no settings in that app that prevents my phone from using 2.4GHz network. It was just basically saying how many APs there were on the current network and a setting to chose the one with best signal. 2.4GHz usually have better signal since that frequency penetrates material better then 5GHz and I want 5GHz only to try.
I am using Cyanogen ROM, and they have that option to select AUTO, 2.4 or 5.
STOCK ROM doesn't....=(

Thats exactly what I want. I would love to run Cyanogen but everyone says the camera cant deliver as LG stock. But you would think its not that hard to add the feature since its present everywhere except most stock ROMs. Seems like more manufacturers then LG removed the option when updates came to stock ROMs.
In Rn5 Pro it is possible to switch on Wifi and hotspot together and the notification icon also showing. but in my case the hotspot is not having internet connectivity when Wifi is on. is it a complaint or a bug?? or it is like that.
Hi, I have the same situation and when I connect with my laptop to the hotspot, I haven't internet connection... I think it's a ROM bug

Hey friends, after updating MIUI 10.3.1.0 in my Redmi note 5 Pro now I am not able to use WiFi and hotspot together. Kindly help with this.
Really could do with help on the biggest problem on pie ROMs with this phone. If I connect to WiFi and later go to change back to mobile data it won't connect. Works perfect the first time but then once connect to WiFi and change back to mobile data later it won't connect and doesn't show 3g/H+ etc beside the signal bar until a reboot when it will work again but then it happens again later after switching from WiFi to mobile data. Please help anyone
