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?

    I've found out I can get a command shell running on a PC to connect to my Android tablet... it's called Android Debug Bridge (adb) and is part of the Android software Development kit (SDK). I've downloaded it and can use it to get "under the hood" of the Galaxy Note to see the network settings and hopefully configure each network interface the way I want, using many of the Linux commands I'm familiar with. We will see this coming work week when I can try it out with my target environment. Just wanted to share this in case there are others out there who want to do "power user" things short of building new aps or customizing Android itself.
