It will disable the network connection, not the radio. This will still save battery.

[Q] Disable 3G/EDGE when Wifi is on

I have noticed that when I turn Wifi on, the 3G symbol on my status bar disappears. Does this mean that my phone will use the Wifi connection instead of the 3G connection?
Is there some way that I can setup my phone to NOT use 3G/EDGE when Wifi is connected?

Well, AFAIK, you could always fully toggle 3g/EDGE using the Quick Settings app from the market.

togle 3g ftw and togle 3g for the president for saving my battery .
Yes. If you turn on wifi you are no longer using 3g and the 3g symbol will go away. The wifi symbol takes place because you are now solely using wifi.

if wifi and mobile data is off, synchronizing on/off doesn't matter..it wont drain battery..
if mobile data is on, it will use internet, so in turn it will use battery...

Mobile data issue (sort of)

Hey everyone!
So i was just wondering, does anyone elses phone display 2g/4g/lte on the status bar even when they have their mobile data turned off? I'm not sure if something is wrong with my phone.. All of my previous android phones would not display any mobile data connections when it was turned off. As of right now, wifi is turned on but mobile data is not and it still shows 2g (from my house) on the status bar. Thanks for answering!
Do you have mobile data turned off? Or do you just mean that it should be because wi-fi is on? If mobile data is off I've never seen it stay on for more than a few seconds. But I have seen it turn on when wi-fi is also on for mms or something.

Its Not Possible,Only One Network Traffic Can Run at a Time..you can't Run WiFi & Data @ the Same Time.. Even If You Turned On Both,WiFi Is the 1st Priority, if Its Turned Off Because of Low Signal ,Data Will be Turned On Automatically, After Wi-Fi Got Strength, WiFi will be Turned On Automatically again by Switching Off Data..

Three network UK - No notification when connected to mobile data

I have no problems getting notifications from 'Outlook', 'Gmail' and 'Tapatalk' when connected to wifi, but when I connect to mobile data nothing happens.
Any idea if I need to change any settings to get this to work?
Thanks
Have you turned mobile data on?

Yes, I've turned mobile data on.
When I click on the 'Outlook' app it shows that there are new emails, but I don't get the notification to tell me this?
