I’m on unlimited minutes, unlimited text with 1GB of data on O2, but I’ve noticed something with iOS5.1 that, whilst present on iOS4 seems to have gotten worse.
Whilst sat about 2m from my wifi router the phone seemed to “lose” internet connection, despite my laptop or xbox not having any issues.
Then I noticed that whilst he WiFi signal was full it was my O2 signal that was failing, this happens often whilst using he facebook app or, increasingly annoyingly, the apple store. (cannot connect).
Does anyone know if the handset does some kind of authentication via GSM even though full wifi is present?
Now you’re probably thinking, this isn’t going to lead to a data hang over, but I also notice that iMessages rather than txts are being sent when I’ve no wifi connection, that over the air updates, Siri (which is shit) and icloud syncing will no doubt also be using both 3G and WiFi?
Am I wrong, should I have just bought that HTC phone that looked quite nice instead?
