Anyone else facing this problem?... [Dev prev users]

Maybe this feature is only available in the newest phones.

I think it's in the cellular+SIM settings where you notice an option about weak WIFI signal, and then the phones decides to use cellular data by default.

It's working fine in my Lumia 520. No issue

It's not a bug, it's a feature and it can be turned off. Go to settings, mobile network & simcard, and you see the option to use mobile date when wifi is low. Turn it off and you're safe from unexpected costs. Downside of turning it off could be that notifications can be delayed.

I don't have that feature either. (L520)

But do you have that option? btw I forgot to write that I have the same problem, and not the option to disable it

Poststamp care to post you firmware / o/s version numbers?

Along with your extras + info page?

Mine are:



As you can see I don't have that option on my 920 :grincry:,



Everybody else can you post your numbers too so we can see what is exactly is causing the discrepancy and direct MS to investigate this.
This is not the first time this happened in terms of options (I didn't have the show pictures automatically setting in ie under advanced options until i re-flashed the rom).

My guess is that option is probably tied to specific models, like the ability to set static ip address for Wi Fi (I still don't have that option)???

Edit: Come to think about it, if people do post their info from the about screen - make sure you crop out your IMEI numbers and everything below first!!!!

Your guess is probably correct, I don`t have such setting on my 925 either but 630 has it
BTW also no static IP Wi-Fi setting on 925

Since the update, I have noticed a change in WIFI connectivity for sure. Hope they patch this up quick!

I normally wouldn't use Data Sense, but if this is going on, I might want to enable that seeing as I only have 10GB shared data on my AT&T plan. Yesterday I was downloading some new albums that I had purchased on XBM and only realized afterwards that I had been on cell data the whole time. I was at work where normally I'm automatically connected to our WIFI there...

I don't have that. Do you have denim?

It is not cyan or denim. The setting is present on my VZW Lumia 928 and even my old 822 - both are obviously still on black and I honestly cannot remember it being absent. I expect it is either tied to having a newer SIM or (more likely) is something carriers enable or disable as an option.

May be not. I have a country variant , so should have it then???

Working fine on my L530s although I have the SIM setting to off.

it must be just a bug, if it goes "on" after pressing it it still looks "on" but it actually just got on when you pressed, the settings for data use when limited wifi have nothing to do with it, if you have data disabled, all those options are off, it wont enable data because of that, all it does is switch to cell data when it detects there is no internet coming from wifi, kind of like a backup connection, so it stays connected to wifi until it starts receiving internet from it and then it stops using cell data again, but it wont do that if you don't have data enabled in the first place, annoying but nothing to worry about, if you see that bug just go manually to settings-cellular and you should see data is still disabled

Windows Phone automatically exchanges between the use of cellular data and WiFi depending on the strength and what's better for you
