Hi, Yes, I can certainly verify about the 3G and wi fi. I was having trouble with my router.
When I would check to see if the router was working, I would check wi fi on my iPhone 4. When I would check after unlocking the screen it would always say 3G, and then switch to wi fi. Initially, I thought it was the router, but then realized that it happened consistently. Being at home, I never noticed a real uptick in data useage.

Some folks have confirmed this by waiting for 5 or 10 minutes, pressing the sleep button, and quickly touching the space where the wi-fi / cell information is given. Frequently, the phone will say 4g, or whatever it was using. It does switch back to wi-fi pretty quickly after you unlock it though. My suggestion is to turn celular data off while at home to avoid this. This forces the phone to stay on wi-fi.

You can always check if you are on WiFi simply by touching the time at the middle of the status bar, then flick left once. If Voiceover says "3G" or whatever it says if you have an iPhone 5 and are on 4G/LTE, well, then you are on cellular data. If you are connected to your WiFi it will announce the signal strength and it will say one of 3 things: 3 of 3 bars, WiFi signal strength 2 of 3 bars, WiFi signal strength 1 of 3 bars, WiFi signal strength Obviously 3 of 3 means it has the best reception, 2 of 3 means it's pretty good, 1 of 3 means it gets not a very strong WiFi signal. The iPhone is extremely good at automatically switching to WiFi and if gives you a WiFi signal strength to the left of the time you are definitely on WiFi.

Well, I just had to use the data for a while, because there was no wifi available where I am right now. Well, so, I soly had to rely on cellular data. I do have unlimited, but it is from t-mobile. Can any of you t-mobile customers tell me how they are? Are they the ones that also degrade your speed? I heard on this list, many companies do that, so I was wondering and what you guys do to save your data. At home, now that I have wifi, I turn my cellular data off by setting, general, cellular data on and double tap to put it off. I am guessing that's the trick. But, I only used my data for my emails, listening to tune in radio, and couple youtube videos here and there. That's all. So, any advice would be helpful. -- Important quotes that people need to read and understand: "JUST BECAUSE A MAN LACKS THE USE OF HIS EYES DOESN'T MEAN HE LACKS VISION!!"
