Why must I sometimes turn off WiFi to download or send email?

I have a Droid Razr Maxx, though I don't think it's an Android or even Verizon issue. The problem, which is intermittent, and happens for my friend also on an iPhone, is that sometimes I'm not able to download or send email when connected to a Wifi hot spot. If I turn off WiFi on the phone, it then works fine using the carrier's data plan. Has anyone else experienced this problem and/or know a solution for it?
Thanks in advance!

Out of Office responses are best set up in the webmail account which you access using a browser.
So check there first.
If you set it up in Thunderbird, then you would have had to leave Computer on and Thunderbird running connected to internet all the time.
You would have created a template email to use. This would be in the 'Templates' folder.
You would also have set up a Message Filter to respond to emails in address book using the Template email.
So check in Message filters for a filter that does this.
Tools > Message filters
or
Menu icon > Message filters > Message filters

I have an iPhone 4 and since I updated to iOS6 I must hit the home button several times to return home or sometimes turn off and then back on. Any thoughts? Could this be related to running low on available storage?

Hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone shuts down and let it restart.

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.

The question was the phone is under water - not muffled nor low sound. It is getting regular that my iPhone 4S and others I know get the sound distorted as though it is under water. I have reset the phone, turned off wifi (Apple said do this). What can be done?

Meg St._Clair
Thank you. I rang Vodafone and although they were not too technical - they suggested my speaker was broken and was probably interfering with the microphone sound out as well. So thank you for the clue - I must admit to not thinking of ringing my carrier supplier. Thank goodness for two things - it is intermittent and I am due an upgrade phone in 6 weeks. I can manage till then I hope with the watery sound from time to time.

Why can't I turn off location services? Restrictions are disabled. The on off slidebar is grayed out. I'm concerned my phone is being tracked.

While I know there are phones that can do this, they really are not powered "off" - they are more in a hybernation state. However, the iPhone has never worked that way. Off on an iPhone means truly powered off - nothing is still running so there is no minimal function left ticking away to wake up the phone and sound the alarm.

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.

Automatically turn off wifi when plugged into LAN?

What happens:
I go to a site and put my nice MacBook Pro down. I then plug into their wired network and then discover that I am accessing the wrong network. I look up and notice that the wifi is hooking into a nearby access point.
What I Expected:
When I plug in a wired LAN, it should turn off wifi.
Ciao!

is it THAT much of an inconvenience to just click on the wifi symbol in the menu bar and select "Turn Airport Off" ?
I performed extensive experiments and this can be accomplished in under 2 seconds, on average.
I didn't say it's a hardship, but it's something the computer should be able to do automatically. Following rules like that are something computers are good at. I'm not.
Taking the same argument, they could just have a drop down that lets you pick "better performance" or "better power savings" and you could click it your self when running off battery or not. But it makes much more sense to have the computer detect this situation and react accordingly.
Do you have a helpful suggestion?
Ciao!
