Android - is it possible to have 3G and Wifi connections at the same time?

I was wondering does anyone know if its possible to open a wifi and a 3g connection at the same time on Android?

Is there any way to control access to both Wifi and 3g/GPRS data connections and use them at the same time?

Can I use my mobile data and WiFi at the same time?

To do this, swipe down on your notification bar and check that the mobile data toggle is switched on. Or go into “Settings,” tap “Connections,” and “Data Usage” and make sure that mobile data is switched on. Step 2: Connect to a Wi-Fi network. Tap “Settings,” then “Connections”, then “Wi-Fi” and flip the switch on.

What happens if both data and WiFi are enabled on Android?

Android actually does support simultaneous connection for both 3G and WiFi devices, through an amazing app called SuperSpeed. On LTE phones it will dramatically increase connect speeds.As others have said, when both WiFi and 3G are simultaneously connected, only WiFi will work.

At the moment it looks like OS will close the 3G data connection in the moment the wifi gets active.

For some applications it would be very nice to notify the OS that they only want to use the 3G network. This would reduce the number of data connection loss because of leaving and entering bad wifi connections.
