Hi there,
My wife is using this phone and complaining it keeps seeking wifi and refuse to connect 4G in open environment even if the mobile data is always on (in both quick setting and in developer options).
What could be the problem? Is there any pitfall in the setting?
Any input is welcome. Thank you.
Try reset network settings or kindly ask it in Xiaomi community. They will guide you better
Thanks. I just found it.
It's the "Wi-Fi assistant". When it's ticked, the phone would strive to find available WiFi. As there're many free and unsafe Wifi anywhere, so it keeps asking permission to link.
Just untick it then it's OK to switch to 4G.

Please don't flame me for not searching an answer for this, but I've been looking for 2 hours without success for a solution.
I have a Touch Pro2 that is for a buddy, so not even my phone, and she has no data allowance in her contract, so any weather lookup, microsoft My Phone or internet connections are going to cost her dearly till she sorts out a new Sim & contract.
Is there an easy way to turn data connections off, leaving the SMS service alone, then to switch it back on in the future when the Sim is changed? I know that on my own HD2 if you simply turn off data connection in the comm manager it switches back on when the phone is reset or thinks that data is needed.
I'd appreciate any help or pointers please! I'm going blind on these forums!
Here you go Try this. http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
it is called NoData
Excellent! Thankyou! and this will survive soft resetting with the data still disabled, and allow SMS but not MMS?
Thanks for the help. I might actually have this done by the time my buddy is due to pick it up now
I think it does. I never used it so I can't say anything about it.

Open up the settings menu / connections and delete the data settings for Internet. It won't connect.

B-I-N-G-O-----spells Bingo!
Also you can search for 1 minute auto gprs disconnect
another good solution is to:
menu>settings>Connections>connection setup, change your country to other country. GPRS will invalid. still SMS and call can be working perfect.
Can't find any of those settings

I can find neither of these settings on my Energy ROM (which I flashed right after I got it).
I also found this, which would be my preferred solution - if I could find it. :

I think I have managed to disable the data connection by going into the settings:
Menu> Settings> Wireless Controls> Mobile Networks> Access Point names
And then geting rid of all except the T-mobile UK settings and then renaming the APN to general.t-mobile.uks (just added an "s").

I did ask this in the Energy ROM thread, but nobody answered me there. But I am looking for a general solution (without extra software), since I'm not sure I really want to stick with this ROM.
Thanks in advance for your time!
I use this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610657
It is great! You can enable disable conections (Internet, MMS, WAP etc.) Also is soft reset resistant =P
Hi Guys
We have recently had BT open up a Wifi ripoff spot. My Desire seems to like it and is willing to connect to it rather than the 3g network. The wifi spots are unsecured and direct you to the Payment page.
Is there a way to ban this wifi spot so that it will still auto connect to all my other wifi spots that I added myself?
Thanks in advance
Have you taken it off of your remembered hotspots list? If not go to setting, wireless and networks, wireless or WiFi then it should give you a list of remembered hotspots. Click on a hotbot and the option to forget should pop up

hi mate i have seen this option but did assume it would just find it again anyway. Does the network go on some sort of hidden blacklist once you tell it to forget.
oh I am going to try it anyway btw and thanks very much for the reply.
If you connect to an open network, it will always try to reconnect to it again once you are in range. So, you need to "forget" the network - it isn't blacklisted and you can still connect to it again if you wish, but it won't try to auto-connect all the while it is "forgotten".
Regards,
Dave
Sorry for opening up this old thread, but I have a issue in the same line, altho fundamentaly diferent:
I have a number of accessible networks within my range. I have a small issue with the auto connect. Is it possible to have the phone remember the network settings for networks, but NOT auto-connect to them?
Or make an ordered list with most preferred AP on top? When I'm in my garage, signal strength make the phone conect to my neighbor (I have his network in my list too, as I often visit and then uses his AP), but want my own LAN and shared folders accessible...
Not sure you guys get my meaning. It wasn't very well written, but I hope you are able to help?
Does anybody know how to disable wispr on the at&t devices?
I have tried to look up the security aspects of wispr and haven't found much. I can tell it authenticates, but I can't tell if the connection is required to be encrypted. As such, I'd rather not connect to an AP I didn't ask it to connect to. Maybe there is a way to disable it thru the diagnostics app on Focus.
Thanks in advance.

It just connects you to ATT hotspots automatically and not any random wifi AP. If you are still paranoid, you can just disable wifi when not in use.
I understand it's only at&t hotspots, but I'm not sure how that helps. I have no idea what type of security if any is implemented on those hotspots.
I do realize I can simply turn off wifi, but I don't always remember do to that. The fact of the mater is they pushed out a change to my device that allows it to connect to aps that I simply didn't approve or set the device up for. I should be able to isolate this feature and turn it off.
I'm having issues with my nexus not detecting wifi networks available. It won't recognize networks on a consistent basis and therefore I am unable to get connected during those times.
Is there a setting I am missing somewhere to scan for wifi networks?
I've never had this problem before ICS. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well...if anyone else is having the same problem that I was, here's the easy solution.
"To get to WiFi settings, go to settings and tap on Wifi. (The word, not the On/Off switch). You can go to advanced from those three dots on the bottom right."

Hello, I have 2 Moto z2 play XT1710-07, one of them I've never "messed with", just OTA updates, the other one I unlocked, locked, etc,
Both have IMEI and are on Stock Pie PPS29.133-30 and both of them suffer from wifi drops when the screen is off / slow connection after some time.
I'd like to solve this, maybe downgrade to OREO or go to a NON-STOCK, or some other solution, whichever is easier.
Can anyone give me a hand please? Thanks guys!
PS: I have already tried factory reset, and also the "shut down wifi & bt search" solution, no go. (sorry if not the right words - Brazilian user)
Up, help please!
No one? ?
I don't have enough information to diagnose your problem. You should use the device help and see if there are any issues with your Wireless Lan adapter that way. Then you might want to see if the issue with the disconnects occurs while your phone is in Safe Mode. Then you also might want to enable Wi-FI Verbose Logging in the developer's options so you can get information about your WiFi connection. Which WiFI band are you connecting to? 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz? You could make sure that the developer option Mobile Data always active is turned off and then turn off mobile data to only connect via WiFi. You could disable all battery savers so that when the screen is turned off it doesn't shut off anything else. That's just some of the things you can try but it could be any number of things which causes the issue you have.

Thanks man! This is a VERY common issue on this Brazilian version, there is a GIANT topic on the official lenovo PT Forum, it's a major problem. I guess i'll have to go the a custom rom.
