Wi-Fi and 3g

Slem

Newbie
I have a question concerning performance. Does the Wi-Fi switching on automatically switch off 3g? It's just that when I'm using Wi-Fi my widgets indicate that mobile is still on. If that's so, should I switch it off manually? Would it benefit battery life?
 
The phone makes it so there is always an internet connection.
When Wi-Fi connects, Mobile Network turns off. Your widgets are simply reporting that Mobile Network is set to turn on when Wi-Fi disconnects. If you turn off your wireless and wait for it to connect to Mobile Network, then turn the Wi-Fi back on again, watch the top of the screen (by the clock) very closely, and you'll see

mobile network connected, then
