I don't know if anyone else notices this or not, but I thought if you have cell data and wifi at the same time, the phone is smart enough to use wifi and not the cell data. However, it looks like when both cellular data and wifi are on (as in connected to a wifi hotspot) the battery life drains faster than if I turn off the cellular data and keep wifi on.

Does anyone else notice this? It looks like the phone requires more micromanagement with me having to be conscious in turning off cellular data whenever Im connected to wifi just to save battery life.
