Can't remember, on TP2, WiFi first then data connection???

Hello all

I think I remember this is correct but I just wanted to check

If I have both Wifi and my data connection on, does the TP2 first try to use WiFi first and then if that's not available, then uses the data connection or is the other way around?

As well if it does use Wifi first, does the have to be hacked to be on 24/7 even in suspend like the way I have mine now to be used first or can it be set to the way it comes stock?

Reason I ask it that 24/7 WiFi really eats up the battery but I just don't want it to be using the data connection first in suspend if that's how it works.


In a second part to this, if it does use WiFi first, how well is the threshold for this?

In other words, sometimes I can get on bar from my ISP's provided WiFi which of course is rather slow but it still works, so if this is even at this level will it still use it over my data connection?

I would assume the decision is based on if there is just any connection at all, no matter how bad, it will still use WiFi an if it will not get what it wants it will just give up or will it then switch to the data connection and try that way?

PS am running 6.1

Thanks for any help.
