iPhones revert from wifi to 3G when the screen goes to sleep.

Apples idea at saving battery.

Turn off mobile data to prevent this.

Settings , mobile , mobile data. Toggle to off.

Just remember to turn it back on when out of wifi range !

Another one of Apples brilliant ideas

I'm surprised they don't patent it

I was hoping they'd patent it so no one else could be daft enough to copy it

Or of cause to prevent the battery saving option leave it connected to a charger and it will not turn the wifi off when it sleeps.

I have done this for years overnight with no detriment in battery life mothers 4 (mine originally) is still going strong and we got that on launch date of the 4 and just selling it on when 2 5s arrive(in the next few days)
