morning. The problem is that the iPhone will try to connect to any
wifi hotspot through which it passes, which is fine as long as it
succeeds but far too often the hotspot doesn't allow the connection.
When this happens it can take ages for the phone to realise and revert
to 3G which prevents data downloads and interrupts whatever it was you
were trying to do.
This problem is particularly apparent when you at in an area with lots
of hotspots or when you're moving around a lot. I notice it when I'm
on the bus in South London - there's a lot of wifi coverage but most
of it isn't open for casual use.
The answer, I think, is for these random hotspots to be presumed
closed until they deliver data, at which point 3G download can end.
Until then the 3G service should be used so that data availability is
maximised.
