Hi,
since Mango (?) I have a very severe bug: although WiFi is connected and working fine my WP7.5 phone uses the GSM data connection. For me this is mostly annoying, because it its painfully slow at home but if you don't have an unlimitted data plan this means that you use up your included data while believing you are connected via WiFi.
I'm not sure who widespread this is. I searched the WPCentral forums but found nothing, on pocketpc.ch there are a couple of users with this behaviour across different phones/manufactures/networks) and I believe at least some of those who complain about excessive data usage will probably experience this behaviour, too.
I also came across this post on MS answers and added myself to the list. So in case there are more WP owners with this problem, please add yourself to that MS answer question in order to push it to Micorsoft's attention.
have for others this is even more severe since yo
WP7.5 chooses Data connection over Wifi - Microsoft Answers
For me this means turning of GSM data connection when at home and then everything is fine (but I loose push notifications and when I leave home I have to remember turning data back on - very annyoing).
Final word: Nonetheless I love my WP7 phone and wouldn't want to switch assuming that a fix will come. And as a software developer I know to well that a bug like this can happen on any plattform esp. since I believe that this probably isn't easy to reproduce (for me WiFi works fine for some time and suddenly while surfing network got switched to GSM). So in case some MS employee likes some detailed information from me I'm happy to assist
