Does anyone uses the installed AT&T smart WiFi App? if so, is it a battery sucker and is it worth turning it on? I am trying to save on my data. and would like to look into some alternative solutions.

Hello all...i own a LG Optimus 7 from Personal Argentina.
I'm very happy with my WP7.5....I previously have an Android device and I can say that if the developer put more effort in WP7, it will be an excellent alternative.
The only thing that bothers me is that i can't force Wi-Fi to be always on when it's on battery. I can do it in Android by forcing wi-fi options...
why i want to do it? because it is comfortable when i'm in the office to have the phone with Wireless always on and not rely on 3G Data services.
Anyone knows if this can be done? This is the only speed bump who i still have to be 100% happy.
Thakns in advance.
What do you man always on? I think my phone is keeping wifi connection almost constantly.
I think he wants WiFi connectivity when the phone sleeps. Try keeping WiFi on and cellular off. That may force WiFi for email checking while the phone sleeps.

Hi
I introduce myself as a brand new G2 owner coming from mega-rooting my S2 E4GT.
In playing with the phone, I came across the ATT Smart wifi app, which perhaps sounds fancier than it really is.
Since we are on a limited data plan, we all know to connect to our wifi network as soon as we get home. The limited description of this app, makes it sound like it will connect me to my home network as soon as it detects it. Fine. But does that mean that it will keep scanning for wifi all day until it finds my network? Or do I have a way to limit that somehow?
Thanks for the help
Hello XDA, I'm curious if there is a way in either the standard ROM (Which would be Sprint to use with Ting) or a custom ROM to be able to turn off the WiFi and lock it to make it kid friendly? Ting allows data control from their end so it's no problem there, just curious if there is a way to put a PIN on the ability to turn WiFi on and off. Thanks!
AppLocker?

How about locking the Settings app by AppLocker or similar apps after forgetting the WiFi network in the phone?

That could be an option, thanks! I'd like for them to still able to adjust settings on the phone but that seems like the only solution that makes sense so far. Other than just deleting the wifi driver itself.
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Grand Prime which I have network unlocked for use here in my country. The service is ok but I noticed a peculiar issue. Whenever I switch on the wifi the mobile data comes on as well and cannot be shut off; each time I shut it off manually it comes back on again. It only goes off when I switch wifi off. I thought it was one of the bloatware apps triggering this so I rooted and disabled all T-Mobile apps yet the issue keeps coming up. Now I saw somewhere else where someone was trying to sell his T-Mobile Moto X and it has the same issue. I don't know if anyone has encountered this before and if there is a fix because it's eating into my mobile data plan and I would want to fix it for good.
Thanks.
Has anyone been able to find a way to turn this feature back on while rooted? Any apps that offer this? Not talking about sharing 4g/3g internet, talking about sharing my wifi with other devices.
S7 had this feature but Verizon wanted to disable it for some reason.
I would also like to know this information.
