Do I need to manually switch Wifi on and off?

I'm in the habit of manually switching the 3G off and Wifi on, when I get home. Do I need to? Or is there a way to get the phone to pick up Wifi automatically? I think our friend's iPhone does this automatically.

So, if I'm out driving, using 3G, then arrive home where I have WIFI, there's no way for WIFI to automatically be recognized, it has to be manually switched on? I think that's what I'm hearing from everyone.
Thanks
If you have the WiFi switch on, when you arrive at home, the device will switch to the WiFi radio automatically. Mine does it all the time. However leaving the switch on all day will reduce your daily battery life as the phone looks for a connection.

    Try:
    Settings>>WiFi, and then turn off Ask for Conection;
    Or:
    Settings>>Privacity, be sure the Location Service is turn on;
    Or:
    In Settings>>General>>Reset, select "Reset all Adjusts". (Sorry, but it will change some personal adjustments, but will not delete anything at all)

  • Is it possible to automate wifi "on" and "off" based on geofencing

    Is it possible to automate wifi “on” and “off” based on geofencing so that it only turns on wifi when I am at home?  I  don’t want it connecting to Karma/pineapple router at Starbuck’s?  If I understand correctly when wifi is turned “on” my phone is constantly probing and asking networks if they are my home network and Karma will respond that it is.  I’m not sure how Karma handles WPA If my Phone expects the network to be secure,  but I don’t want my phone handing out my e-mail password, so I’d feel better if it automatically switched to cellular when I leave the house.

    SWF file is a compiled code. This means that it comes in form of encrypted code and needs its own interpreter - Flash player plugin. As Ned said, no other program can see compiled code. Browser sees only <object> and it positions it according to DOM architecture. Firebug is a proxy that is capable to display network requests along with DOM architecture, JS, and CSS. Firebug has no access to SWF code either.
    If your question is about how to expose particular parts of your application - the way to do that is to implement traces inside Flash. These traces can be output in some debugging software (for instance FlashTrace) at runtime. But, again, these tools cannot see more than traces.

    You might want to download something called an undelete utility. These can find files and recover them even after they appear to have been lost. There are some undelete utility programs that are free. Look at tucows.com
    Also, it appears that you have POSSIBLY overwritten the actual files, which you moved manually, with I don't know what, which you moved in PSE's folder location view.
    Next, in the future ... NEVER (that's: don't even think about it) move your photos in Windows. NEVER. NEVER. Not ever. Not once. This always (that's ALWAYS, as in 100% of the time) causes problems and usually makes things difficult to fix.
    Lastly ... make regular backups! I must say this in the forums about seventy bazillion times a month. Make regular backups! Regular depends on how often you take photographs and edit them. Since my photographic activity usually happens on the weekends, I make backups every Sunday night. You may need a different schedule, depending on your activity level. MAKE REGULAR BACKUPS!

  • How to switch trends on and off in a graph

    Hi,
    Quite new to this so bear with me.  I've numerous temperature sensors I'd like to be able to display on a graphical display.  To display all of them on one graph would be a bit of a headache for the user and I don't want numerous graphical displays.  I'm after the best way to code this up so I can select the required channels by using individual boolean switches for each channel. 
    I'm thinking that a switch next to each channel name would be a neat solution to switch channels on and off on the graph.
    Thank you
    Carl
    Solved!

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off and screen different colours?

    My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off randomly, the screen has also gone a green and red colour prior to it turning itself off and sometimes will not come back on unless re-set? help?!

    If you already tried a restore to factory settings, it looks like a hardware issue to me.
    I would take it to an Apple Store for replacement.

  • I got Iphone 3 gs and updated ios 5.01 when charging my phone it keeps switching itself on and off

    I got Iphone 3 gs and updated ios 5.01 when charging my phone it keeps switching itself on and off.

    Same problem.  Phone was unusable.  I managed to turn airplane mode on during one of the phone's "on" moments.  It went off once more but then came back on and stayed on long enough to back up and restore via iTunes.  As I don't rely on the phone to retain photos, contacts or mail etc I chose to do a complete restore and treat it as a new phone.  I did this just to make it as clean a restore as possible but you may be able to restore from your backup and get the same fix? All is good still some 24 hours later.  Hope this helps.

  • TS1398 Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I kkep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I keep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Is this happening with one particular network or with all?  Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
    Try this:
    Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
    Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
    Reset Network Settings
    Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

    when you have the same issue after the SMC reset:
    put new batteries in the MM (even if the others are not empty), turn Bluetooth off then on again on the MBA, take all USB connections out (if any), delete the pairing of the MM and re pair the MM.
