Wi-Fi on During Sleep
Because the default setting for this feature is set to Always,
when your phone enters sleep mode, you maintain the Wi-Fi
connection. When you select Always, you conserve data use
because the phone is not searching for a signal and battery
usage is reduced.
If Never is selected, data usage increases because the phone
continues to search for a signal even during sleep mode.
