Wake up shows 3G/4G then switches to Wifi

[brodrick]

While at home or work, I have my phone connected to Wifi. Since the last update, whenever my phone has been quiet for 5 or 10 minutes, I can pick it up, press the power button, and then I see that the 4G icon is lit up. Then, within 5 to 10 seconds, the wifi icon reappears and the 4G goes away. It's like during sleep time, the phone turns off wifi, and then turns it back on during wakeup. It's also caused the WPA_Supplicant to be one of the highest used processes on my phone now, possibly because of the constant re-connecting to my wifi.

Is this a feature and not a bug? Or am I alone on this one.

You are right! I missed the advanced option when I was searching for it. Thanks for the enlightenment!

Yes, that's normal behavior, depending upon your settings and radio managment software.
