For the past two nights, I have left my phone charging all night. Both mornings I attempted to use the web browser after unplugging the phone. Every web site I went to gave me a message that the site was down or I was not connected.
I checked my phone and it showed that I was connected to my wifi network. However, there was no 3G indicator at the top of my screen. It showed the wireless signal bar directly next to the call indicator bar. I got up and switched rooms in the house, and saw the 3G indicator come up next to the wireless indicator. At that point I was able to get on the internet. (Althought the 3G indicator was present, the phone did not appear to be using 3G, as the 3G arrows were not lighting up)
I am really confused about a couple things here. First, why was my 3G indicator missing when I first woke up and unplugged the phone? Second, why was my phone unable to connect to the internet via wifi without the 3G indicator present?
I am really wondering if my phone is using 3G for internet even when there is a wifi connection. This would seem to cause more battery drain in my phone. Is anyone else having a similar problem? Any thoughts?
p.s. juice defender seems to show periods where my phone is using 3G and wifi at the same time.
