Any help folks, I have a dashcam which connects to my A34 via WiFi without Internet connectivity. To update the dashcam I need to keep it connected to my phone while using my mobile data is it possible to use mobile data while connected to a WiFi device with no Internet connectivity?

Any help appreciated

It's a Fineview GX100, if I turn hotspot on then it disconnects the WiFi so that method won't work. Mates Samsung phone doesn't but on my A34 I get a pop up saying WiFi will be turned off if turning hotspot on

You cannot have WiFi and hotspot / 4g 5g on at the same time.

If you're on your hotspot, that should enable your dashcam to connect to the internet if it has the functionality to do so through the dashcam WiFi settings.

I am not employed by Samsung nor do I receive any remuneration as a Samsung Members Star.

My device is an S25 Ultra.

Hi,

The issue I am facing is that, once the mobile is connected to the Dashcam through DAshcam's WiFi (without internet), the mobile dats automatically get disconnected. The same happens when I connect to any WiFi. But in this case, Dashcam WiFi doesnot have internet... DO we have any settings where we can have both WiFi and Mobile data working in the phone and phone can choose the internet from either one depending on the strength of the signal...?

Go to: Settings, Connections, Wi-Fi

Then press the Three Dots at the top right of the screen

Press Intelligent Wi-Fi

Turn on "Switch to mobile data"

After this is done, whilst you are connected to your dashcam via Wi-Fi, your phone will detect no connection to the cloud and give you a mobile data connection.

Best regards,

I can confirm this will just disconnect from the WiFi if that has no Internet. Samsung S25 and not lead to the desired result.
Steps to reproduce: connect to dashcam/vacuum device wifi network, try to use any Internet-related app (browser/speedtest/chat etc). 
Expected result: WiFi is still connected, and mobile data is used
Actual result: 1. WiFi is connected, no Internet available in phone (if Intelligent WiFi exception enabled)
2. WiFi is disconnected as soon as WiFi Internet connectivity is not confirmed by phone (Intelligent WiFi exception removed)


I've also tried enabling and disabling the Intelligent WiFi exception for this network.
My old Xiaomi was super-easy to use, as it can use mobile data while connected to WiFi, and I'm lacking this feature in the super-duper modern Samsung.
Please provide this feature ASAP, as I see this question goes deep far to 2021, and the users NEED it.
