GPRS or Wifi?

[Guest JorgV]

Hey there,

just got my S710 2 days ago, and really liking it alot!

Got one question though:

I can connect to the internet using GPRS. I can connect to my router via WLAN. But how can I tell which connection is used? When I open up IE, the little "G" appears next to my batterylevel indicator, so I'm guessing I'm still using GPRS. How can I tell my S710 to use WiFi?

Thanks!

If you have a good WiFi connection it will always use it by default over GPRS. If you go to Comm Manager on your device, switch off your phone(2) and then enable WiFi(4) you can see how your WiFi is performing without GPRS connected. I hope this helps..looby :)

Thanks Looby, that helped. Seemed that the little 'G' was still there from an earlier GPRS connection. Now I am sure it connects via Wifi, as the 'G' doesn't reappear when I enter the internet (with the phone on that is)!

Also good to know that it will use WiFi over GPRS by default!
