By default the Samsung OMNIA will use your GPRS data connection for Web browsing even if your Wi-Fi is enabled.

This video shows how to sort this problem out.

hi,

I have an Omnia II, and I have the same problems you had with the Omnia I: when connected to a Wi-Fi net, it uses GPRS insted of using the Wi-Fi itself. I tried using the instructions you gave, but the icons and the menus are not the same so I end up getting lost.

Do you know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

@overxxx Hi yes we have seen the same issue in the Omnia II and in fact we found the solution - as you said its different from the above fix. Sadly without the device in front of us its difficult to guide you, but its in your settings option that is for sure, but if memory serves me its under a slightly different name. Try looking under Application settings or Networks. Sorry we can't help more than this, but the option is in there someplace!

can you answer for me please, what is the point of connecting to a Wi-Fi? what can you do, that you cannot do when wi-fi is off?

[Crowdedbrain]

@kimodizzle The main benefit of connecting to your Wi-Fi is that it is normally faster than your mobile download speeds, plus if you are downloading large files it won't zap your mobile data usage (which is normally set at a certain limit). Also if you don't have a data contract, it will be the only way of connecting to the internet & performing downloads on your phone.
