How do I ensure when using fring on the P1 that it's not connecting using O2 but using my wifi instead?
any ideas?

Hi eske,

Open Fring and the choose options Settings, Connection Manager, Settings then choose WiFi only and it will only use WiFi. You could also choose Always ask which will allow you to choose your connection each time, hope that helps you.

the wifi indicator will be visibile and not greyed. if you see it gets greyed out it means that it's not using the wifi anymore.

works on my P1 too -
the question is how to be sure you're NOT using Fring over GPRS / 3G but definitely over wifi?

I think it prefers WiFi over gprs when WiFi is enabled. dunno why, but fring sometimes hangs when I use it on WLAN.

Put your wifi and gprs accounts in separate groups and tick the box for 'Show connection dialog'.

@whatsucka

You should check if you are able to use gprs at all.

If not, check the settings (apn, username & pw (if any), etc.) and make sure that you have added it in your internet group account.
