Unit off, wifi on?

Got my Touch fully charged up last night, then turned the unit off. Turned it on this morning and got a "low battery" warning -- it was almost totally drained. It's the second time it's happened in my one week of Touch ownership. (The first time I figured I must have imagined that it was fully charged.)
Yes: wifi was set to on, which I now understand is a big drain on the battery. But can the wifi capability drain the battery even when the unit itself is turned off?
Or do I just have a lemon?
Or what?

Interesting. I had mine just lying flat on a table, so it's a different situation. I think I have to agree with Ian that it's probably a faulty unit and I'm going to have to exchange it. Grrrrrrr. I guess I'll try recharging it completely tonight, with wifi set to off, then turn the unit off and see if it happens again. If does NOT drain again, it would seem to suggest that the explanation for what happened last time is that wifi can suck battery even with power off.
Anyone know for sure whether such an unlikely sounding thing could be true? Ian, when you turned yours off for 3-4 days, did you have wifi set to on or off?

Although I turned off WiFi, set as 'require admin password to turn on and off wifi, when I turn on my MacBook Pro, retina latest model, just got for a month, it turns on wifi automatically, is this a back door or virus or security hole? Thank you

I have my all networks at 'Off' status in the system panel, never use Bluetooth either, also in the top status bar, and set as 'require admin password to turn on and off WiFi', but when I turn on my MacBookPro 15" retina newest model only one month old, it goes on to WiFi automatically by itself.
Is this a back door? Security hole?
The other day, I was taking a break for five minutes, when I came back, the Microsoft outlook is open for setting up an account, I never use outlook, it is there only because it comes with the office package. Also, iTunes was playing music, I don't use iTunes when I'm working. Both were not on before I left for the break.
What is the problem?

If i turn off wifi my phone only goes to Edge and not 3g by default?!?!

I have a very wierd problem with iphone. mine isn't about 3g reception, as i get eprfect reception. the problem is if i turn on wifi and am connected to a network, once i tun off wifi or get out of wifi range, my phone will automatically revent to Edge, and not 3g. i have to go into network settings and disable, then re-enable 3g, and then 3g works perfectly. even if wifi option is on but im not connected to wifi, this works fine. but if and when i connect to a wifi network, suddenly my phone starts reverting back to edge when i either turn off wifi or move out of wifi range. i then have to disable and renable 3g for it to default back to 3g
whats the deal here!! this seems to be a glitch in the system. anybody else facing this problem?? im on 2.1 and i didn't have this problem with any of the previous 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 and was getting eprfect 3g every time.

I think reverting to Edge when in sleep mode is by design.
It make sense when you think about it. Why would you need 3G data speeds for a phone that is sleeping?
But it should pop back to 3G when you open the phone.
I have another thread where ACTIVE Edge transmission streams block switching to Wifi.
This sounds like all part of the same problem. It sounds like Apple reverted to the lowest power radio when in sleep mode, but has still not perfected the switching upon awakening.
If you wake your phone, but do NOT slide the Un-lock slider till you see 3G/wifi it seems to work better. However, it it doesn't work in 6 seconds, its not going to work at all in my experience.
Switching to 3G is so time consuming (not only MY time to initiate it but also the time it takes to actually wait out the "No Service" to get to a 3G icon) that I use very little 3G at all. I'd rather have a solid Edge reliability and
wifi than a flaky unpredictable and very limited coverage 3G. I think I wanted a iPhone V1.5 (half way between V1 and V2. Keep the 3G, its the source of a lot of headaches on this board).
In 3 years it might be different as 3G spreads, but right now 3G is not worth the trouble and expense given the plethora of free wifi.

My battery on my ipod touch keeps draining. i have updated in itunes and turned off wifi....can anyone help??

My battery life on my ipod touch used to last for days if i wasnt using it. I have updated from itunes recently and my battery is draining in hours. i have switched off wifi and this has not helped. i also turned off notifications as well. can anyone help

Did you already reset your device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Also try to delete the mail account in case you're using push/fetch to get your mail. There have been cases in which mail didn't stop connecting to the server, causing the battery drain.

How do you switch off WiFi - is there an easy way?

Hi I am coming from SPV MS Smartphones. My mate has got a new one with WiFi in, and it has a lovely shortcut menu to switch in ll WiFi, BT etc.
How do you switch off the WiFi on the N80, I read in the manual that "WiFi is always on" surely this cannot be true, Nokia cannot be that daft as this would kill the battery!!
Am I right in saying that the 4 little squares shows that WiFi is on?
cheers
My N80 is on Orange purchased in June 2006 firmware v 3.0617.06 03-05-2006
Cheers

hi there...
yes u can turn off wifi , menu-tools-settings-connection-wireless lan , from there u can choose whether u want ur wlan to be active or inactive , active gives u options of searching for available networks for ur set time , from every min to every 10 mins ,just choose never in show availability option , tht basically stops wlan to search for available networks automatically . incase if u want to search for available networks , u can do tht easily by going to menu-connectivity-connection manager -available wlan ..
hope this answered ur question ,
thnx..

Since updating to iOS 6, I'm getting kicked off wifi

Since I updated to iOS 6, my iPhone 4 will kick me off wifi, and go onto 3G. I'll be sitting at home on Facebook, or playing a game, then stop to check the time and see that I'm on 3G. Before the iOS 6 update, this never happened. It's really frustating, because I'm using my data when I don't need to. Most games take up your whole screen, so you can't see if you are on wifi or 3G unless you close the game. Because of this, multiple times I have gone over my data useage and had to pay extra. My cell phone service provider does have an app that I can check my data useage, so that is helpful. Has anyone else expierenced this? Is there any way I can fix it? It's getting really frustating. Please help!

I figured out my problem...... I have custom text tones set up for certain ppl and had the default text tone set to "none" well with the iOS6 update it made it so if your default text tone is set on "none" then you won't hear what I call the send and recieve text sounds when in a converstation... if you change the default text tone to any text tone other than "none" you will get your send and recieve sounds back.... kinda annoying if you don't won't random texts from ppl waking you up... so I made a custon text tone that is called silence with just recording a few seconds of dead noise then edited it and turned all the sound levels down to 0 and set that as my default text tone.... now I have the send and recieve text sounds in a conversation and everything is fine! Sorry Nehucskter the first time I had this problem thats the first thing I did was reboot my phone.... first thing you do for everything lol....

Try this:
1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Turning off wifi n bluetooth in windows

Thank you for viewing my post..will be glad if you could help..
I recently purchased a Macbook Pro 13 and installed windows using bootcamp..
now i am faced with the problem of not having a way to turn off wifi and bluetooth..is ter an application for this or any other way?
please suggest

did you install all of the windows drivers from the system disk? if not, insert the OS X Install Disk 1 & run the windows installer that shows up.
the bluetooth & wifi icons should be in the system tray. all you should have to do is click on them or a right click (usb mouse), control click, or 2 finger click should bring up the menus & select to disable or turn off.

TS1398 I only want my secured network wifi but keeps searching for others. Tried turning on an off wifi and on and off secured networks and ignore other networks, but keep coming back. Any suggestions.

That's not the way wifi works.
You may see the other networks but you are not connected to them in any way.
