iPhone 4S Wifi weirdness

[NickTB]

I stream some radio stations at night if I can't sleep and have started receiving texts from Vodafone advising me that I'm edging up to my data allowance (750MB)

Now, I log onto my wifi at home automatically and also to my work wifi automatically. Upon closer inspection it seems the wifi switches off when I lock the phone. This never happened before as I have streamed radio for a good few monts, but does now?

Does anyone know a (Un-jailbroken) way to resolve this? I want the wifi to stay on whilst the phone is locked.

Anyone?

Cheers,

Have you tried turning Data Roaming off? (only leaving your wi-fi on)

I always do that at home allowing my phone to stay connected to the wi-fi at all times, saving a bit of battery, etc.

In the morning when I leave I reverse the procedure

Never thought of that. Good idea. Bit of a pain in the arse though..

You only need to flick a few buttons, mate

I believe mine used to have a similar issue


Here's a note to iOS developers - introduce a 'priority' feature automatically turning off your 3G when connected to a Wi-Fi network

Android already does that \o/

Is that true? Madness that Apple haven't implemented that.

data roaming is only relevant abroad

data roaming is only relevant abroad

Data Roaming in the sense of turning off his 'data' conncection - i.e. 3G and EDGE

It is indeed

My HTC Desire has been doing it (and many other things you have to wait an eternity for) for many years
