WiFi disconnects and phone switches to EDGE when it sleeps - Page 2 - iPhone 3G

I'm selecting it manually and it says I'm connected but EDGE is still taking precedence! It didn't do this last night for me.

I Found a fix last night that I did it seems to have worked. From the main menu, go into general. Then go into general again and there is a reset option for your network settings.

After doing that, I haven't had a problem.

Is there any feedback thing for this from Apple like they did with the push e-mail problems people are having?

I love the fact that I have been on this forum for the last 3 days saying my wifi won't connect automatically and as I write this I am on my iPhone which i might add, swtched from edge to wifi automatically right before I came on safari to post this ...

well here are my two cent on this. I understand the need for wifi because edge is slow but I think the reason why it defaults to edge when the phone is in sleep mode is because of power consumption. Meaning that to keep the wifi running it would drain the battery at an astronomical rate. Plus the reason why it goes to edge is because of voicemail. Yes ladys and germs.... Voicemail. Voicemail is not played from a server at at&t, its downloaded to the phone via edge. I dont think voicemail can be sent through our wifi. Those are the most likely reasons why edge activates on sleep.

1. Power consumption
2. Voicemail download

Well thats just my two cents....

Probably a default from apple, something that will easily be fixable with a simple hack hopefully.

Guys I just found out today that the reason why many peopls batteries didnt charge competely is because they leave the wifi i when it sleeps and whill its charging. This drains the battery at good rate a prevents it from fully charging ... also when your wifi is on and its sleeping your usage metter is still running. Which explains why my battery was awful today and my usage was at 17 hours which is a 15 hour jump from last nigth at 9 oclock. But this is just what apple is telling me ... ill find out this morning.
