Default wifi settings maybe be a battery waster.

Question. Would having your Wi-Fi turned on all the time gradually affect the phone in a negative way? Excuse me but I'm not very tech savvy. What I mean is if I kept the Wi-Fi on would the mechanism controlling my Wi-Fi fail over time since it is in constant use?

Have you ever worn out the part of a cell phone that makes phone calls?

I've seen a decent improvement... but the only time I'm not in Wifi range on the typical day is during my commute. So I'm attempting to get more people to try this so we can get more data in different situations. Feel free to try it for a few days and explain your results!

I turn mine on at home, but at work I turn it off, because we dont have wifi here.
