internet/opera connection

[Guest useyourfist]

hi i no if im connected to wifi my phone should auto use it for internet connections but sometimes it ends up connecting to orange 3g internet which is annoying as i have to exit and start over, soo is there a way i can set opera to connect only via wifi

[Guest adzman808]

don't know - i might look at this today.....

in comparision my phone behaves differently to yours

if i make a wifi connection, whilst the cellular modem is running then the following happens

opera - happily uses wifi, not 2/3g

IE - happily uses wifi, not 2/3g

gmail (pop3 not IE) - happily uses wifi, not 2/3g

hotmail email account (via msn live not IE) - refuses to use wifi & i have to turn off the cellular modem* & then it happily uses wifi

not sure if i'm gonna be able to fix this !!!

Cheers

*ie put phone into flight mode, then turn on only wifi

i've had a little play with this but i'm less than useless :)

with my phone if i want hotmail to use the wifi i have too

1 - turn off phone (ie cellular modem - not phone)

2 - turn on & connect too wifi

3 - open hotmail (or other cellular dependant app ~CDA~)

4 - turn back on phone (you can do this when ever u want, the trick is to open the ~CDA~ BEFORE you turn the cellular modem on)

5 - send/receive on hotmail - 2/3g wont be used it will use wifi connection

see i said i was useless - must be a better way than this....

dailing rules?!!

if you're just having this problem with opera...

try

HKLM\software\opera\defaults\IgnorePendingSocketsWhenActiveWiFi = 1

A simple way to solve this issue would be to use bandswitch:

if in network settings you change your default connection to 'my isp' then it will never atempt to make a non-wifi connection again.

of course if u want gprs or 3g back than its a few screen taps*, so perhaps not suitable if you regularly switch between modes...

BTW my tg is unlocked (although still with orange sim) & drop down still works fine....

*start/settings/connections/connections/advanced tab/select networks/ 'select from drop down'

(you can shortcut to the (2nd) connections by clicking the wifi or G icon in task bar on today screen)
