Why is it so fucking difficult for mobile OSs (Android/iOS) to revert to mobile data when the WiFi is clearly not working? It’s so annoying when my phone connects to some AP 10 fucking nautical miles away and tries desperately to get a connection to the internet when I have a data plan that works just fine. The solution would be so fucking simple: before the phone switches to WiFi connection it should simply probe the internet. Login required? Ask me if I want to proceed before showing me the fucking login portal. No response at all? Then don’t even bother going any further with it.

    @irene They’re known networks, that’s not the problem.

    I have settings for more aggressive change to mobile data and also for keeping mobile data on even if connected to wifi. They are under developer settings.

    Huawei has this "smart" Wifi+ or whatever they call it. I was really annoyed by it because the mobile data out here in the countryside is like 20kb/s while the Wifi was working fine but it kept disconnecting me anyways so I had to turn it off

    You know that you can just switch off WiFi right?

    @Charon92 then it’s a bad design

    @Robinha I want to use WiFi, but only when it actually works. I don’t want phantom connections.
