Hello everyone,
I have searched but have been unable to find an answer so I will ask the question
Is it possible to Prioritize a Cellular connection over a Wifi connection?
The main reason for this question is that we are running many Rugged android devices with a PTT application on them and when they connect to a buildings Wi-Fi network it can be congested and cause poor results. So we are looking to have the Android PTT devices connect primarily to Cellular and then when they drop Cellular signal as they head into a basement or a blackspot etc, it will search for a pre-configured Wi-Fi network and then connect it to until the Cellular network is available again.
Pretty much, we would like to know if its possible to get them to work in reverse. Prioritize Cellular over Wi-Fi rather than the default prioritize Wi-FI over Cellular.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Cheers.

Has anyone found an app that will automatically forward calls based on location or preferably connection to wifi?
I'd like to setup my phone to automatically forward calls to my home phone when my device connects to my wifi router. The cellular signal in my house is really spotty.
O.K. - so I live in a place which picks up 3 countries mobile signals. One is my "Home" country.
Whilst wandering round, my phone, if set to Auto, will frequently pick up the other countries network.
Not a problem.
However it very rarely returns to the "Home" network by itself.
In older phones there was a way of setting a preferred network list etc.
Is there any way to do this on the S2?
I do not want to disable roaming, I want the S2 to go "Ah, home network in range, I'm changing over to it, even though I still have a good signal on the foreign network."
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
Adrian.
I posted this in Nexus 4 Q&A a month ago, but received no responses. I badly need this, so any info is appreciated!
I need to set up a tasker profile so that it monitors cell network type, not mobile data type, as cell network type can be monitored while connected to a WiFi access point.
If cell network type is HSPA or LTE, then turn WiFi off.
If cell network type is not HSPA or LTE, then turn WiFi on.
I need this so that my phone will connect to a Verizon jetpack when I am in a crappy EDGE area, but automatically starts using my unlimited data on the phone when I am in an HSPA or LTE area. I will be driving all summer and this would help keep data costs down.
Does anyone know of a plugin for tasker or another app that will monitor cell network type?
The phone is a Nexus 4 running CM 10.1 nightlies.
Hi to all, i have a question about architecture of android OS, and i would have an answer before i start develop my custom android OS.
I would like to know wich "component" of android OS take decision about which network interface use for sending and receive data. As we know, if our system has a 4g network active and is connected to a wifi network too, all network data goes through wifi connection.
I would like to know which is the portion of os that "take" this decision, and if is possible to modify it for manage network connections and traffic forwarding in different way as default (for example send automatically an email with 3g network also if a wifi network is active).
Hello,
I have read and found success making options for wifi calling appear in the stock menu when it was absent before, however the phone is nonetheless unable to make wifi calls after enabling. Tried placing phone in airplane and turning wifi on.... or just choosing the "wifi only" option for making calls in the network menu - Resulting message always states to connect to a wireless network to proceed with the call, even though I have an excellent connection and internet works fine.
I have done an exhaustive search for methods to successfully use T-Mobile's wifi calling feature on my phone.
My initial research revealed that the option should work so long as your phone supports wifi calling as well as your carrier.
The wifi calling option was absent (as well as VoLTE) on the stock ROM, so I had high hopes that a custom ROM which included the feature would allow me to utilize the service with T-Mobile (my current GSM carrier).
After a slew of unsuccessful attempts to make calls using wifi vs the mobile network, I finally called T-Mobile's tech support who was actually quite helpful, but essentially stated that wifi calling through T-Mobile requires the carriers own proprietary software to work... in other words, even though T-Mobile likes to promote the ease with which you can BYOD (bring your own device), it would appear that the wifi calling feature is only possible when buying a phone directly from T-Mobile unless a custom rom is built which is at least partially based upon T-Mobile's own proprietary software with regard to wifi calling.
If ANYONE has had any luck at all placing wifi calls on the T-Mobile network domestically in the U.S. using the global/MEG7 version of Redmi 5 Plus, your assistance would be immensely appreciated. I have found that, although my phone does not support multiple LTE bands used by T-Mobile, I am still able to make LTE calls quite frequently in my region using the single supported band.... however, my home is a "dead zone" so to speak and, even though I am smack dab in the middle of an excellent coverage zone, my service inside the house is poor enough that others' attempts to call are unsuccessful, leaving me unaware of the call unless a message is left.
At this point, I am getting ready to throw in the towel so any advice or success stories would be greatly appreciated - or, on the flipside, a validation that wifi calling is just not possible at this time so I don't have to drive myself crazy with a continued search for which a solution does not yet (or may never) exist.
Many thanks for your help!
