Wifi and Application Questions

[taylorr]

I am new, as of yesterday, to the Atrix family. I love it so far but I have two questions Google just can't seem to answer.The first: When my wifi is working, and connected on my phone, do data charges still apply? Should the "E" for the EDGE still be there while wifi is on? The second: How do I prevent my social networking apps from just opening on their own?It's appreciate the help. I just want to get the best out of my phone.

The first: When my wifi is working, and connected on my phone, do data charges still apply?

From my understanding, when wi-fi is on, data to the phone stops sending/receiving from your cellphone data plan. It receives it from the wi-fi connection first.
I cant confirm this on my end, as I don't have a data plan attached to my atrix. I do have wi-fi. Im sure someone else on the forums can confirm the functionality of data charges "not applying"

Should the "E" for the EDGE still be there while wifi is on?

This I can confirm. Yes, the E shows up on my notification bar while Wi-Fi is on.

The second: How do I prevent my social networking apps from just opening on their own?

Brrr... This I cant help you with. I dont use any social apps. But I would assume in the social app that you are using, you might want to check the settings portion of the app.
Usually by pressing the 4 square menu button, or by tapping some kind of labelled button called "settings" or "menu".

Hope this helps,

What exactly do you mean, "opening on their own"?


By the way, WELCOME, Taylorr!

Hey Taylorr. Welcome to the forum!

When you are using wifi, the E symbol (or H+ in my case) is still there. What disappears is the up/down arrows below the E. When the wifi symbol is showing, you will not be using cellular data.
