I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) and would like to connect to a private network through WiFi for development work, but still have access to the general Internet through the 3G/4G cellular radio for other apps. So far, it does not seem possible. Connecting to WiFi seems to route all data through WiFi to the private network, cutting off the Internet. Is there a way to have both radios working and routing packets separately on this Galaxy Note, or any other Android device, short of customizing the network stack software?

    And ask yourself "why would I have an Android phone, and read tech sites such as Soylent News....and yet not want to root my phone?"

      Well, I just got this Android tablet from my employer, and have not used Android before, beyond playing with demo models at shows and stores. I've been using Linux heavily as a developer for desktop and embedded stuff, but a lot of things are different in Android-land. My phone's an Apple (and Blackberry before that). So I'm a bit reluctant to root this tablet as my first step. Maybe later!
