If anyone here uses wifi, does your 3g stay connected while wifi is on? I know when wifi is on, the phone will use it for data. I mean up in the notification bar does it show the wifi icon, and the 3g icon for anyone here? Also in settings when you go to about phone then to status, under "Mobile network state" does it still say "connected" when you have 3g on.



The reason why I ask this is because since I've had my Fascinate, when wifi is on, "mobile network state" is disconnected, and I only have the wifi icon in the notification bar at the top. However as of 10 mins ago when I put wifi on, the 3g icon is still on up at the top, and under status "mobile network state" is staying connected.
 
the first statement is the normal way android works.

when you turn on wifi, it disconnects from the data network of the cell provider


not sure why yours is trying to keep both connected now, maybe look in the wireless settings and see if you have been leased an IP?
