Alternative to Wifi Preferred?
Hello everybody,
I have searched the Z10 forum and did not find the answer to this question�
Pre-10 blackberry phones had the option �wifi preferred� that ensured that the device only used wifi (when one was available of course). This option is no longer available in the Z10 and it seems that the device is now set up to always switch to the strongest connection.
In reviewing my data usage with T-mobile I noticed a huge increase and, more importantly, most of the usage is recorded at times when my Z10 should have been connected to wifi. I called customer service and they indicated that one of the features of the Z10 that differentiates it from previous blackberry devices is that it constantly looks for the best connection.
Now, I said above that �it seemed� that way because, frankly, I don�t have another explanation for this behavior and T-Mobile's rep's explanation seems logical.
Anyway, for many of you the new setting in Z10 might be OK but for me it is not as I do not have an unlimited data plan. I don�t need one because my Z10 is (or should be) connected to a wifi at least 22 hours a day, be it at home or work.
Right now the only solution that I have is to manually turn on/off the �data services� under �mobile network� to ensure it only uses wifi for data; it works fine but it is getting really annoying having to do the switch manually.
So, do any of you know if there is a way to configure the Z10 so that it stays on wifi regardless of the strength of the signal? Alternatively, do any of you have used an app that would achieve the same results?
Thanks in advance for the help!
