As it is I can't see what it's using to connect to the internet, it's not telling me or giving any notifications! How do I change this?

That'll force the issue.

That should do it.

That should do it. Uncheck what under mobile networks?, i've got data roaming, access point names, use 2g and network operators. That's it.

Just above it should be an option to shut off all mobile networks.

But there must be another way to do this, I thought Android was mean to be a good OS, at least with symbian it always asked me and gave the choice of available wifi and orange internet.

I really want to confirm this. lol Best Screen Protector alovell83 Jr. Member Karma: +0/-0 Offline Posts: 3 Re: Wifi internet? « Reply #8 on: June 19, 2010, 12:05:08 PM » Test your speed.  Have wi-fi off, then have the wi-fi on.  You should see a speed difference, and that should confirm that you are using the wi-fi.  AFAIK nearly all global carriers allow you to use wi-fi without having to turn off the data connection, I think they used to try to keep the data always on in South Korea because of the high rates but that is changing now.  Best Screen Protector Loba I am Mr Loba Loba Global Moderator Karma: +12/-1 Offline Singapore Posts: 215 Remember...the gun is mightier than your sword. ;) Re: Wifi internet? « Reply #9 on: June 20, 2010, 01:03:55 AM » use apndroid to turn off 3g Best Screen Protector Wifi internet? diablocivic55 Newbie Karma: +0/-0 Offline Posts: 2 Re: Wifi internet? « Reply #10 on: June 27, 2010, 08:43:08 AM » Quote from: Loba on June 20, 2010, 01:03:55 AM use apndroid to turn off 3g Download from where?
