I’ve had my ipod for a year and only recently got a phone so still feel like a newbie at times, smile. Yes, I have my settings that way as well so of course when I’m doing the slow bandwidth thing sometimes nothing works. Will have to do some experimenting.

While I was downloading big files like voices and an Epub book, I often had to do it a number of times due to what the phone was telling me was a bad connection, spotty coverage, in other words. I suspect this is a problem with the carrier wireless service/connection and not the phone itself. Try turning your modem on and off, and even unplug it then plug it in again. Also, if you do want to use data to download things you might want to tell your phone not to automatically download unless it is connected to Wi-Fi as opposed to any old time like when you are out walking with your phone in your pocket. That will save you data if you have a limited plan. Someone pointed this out to me while we were looking at the downcast and podcast apps which I have several subscribed to programs in.

I think I have wifi connected to my home network as it seems to work with Safari, but in apps like Ootones or the BARD app I get continual timeout messages when I attempt to download books or, in the case of Ootunes can’t play high bitrate streams at all. Wifi has been fiddly at times with my Ipod and I thought this would improve with the iphone, but apparently not. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this?
