    My wi-fi is always on. I turn 3G off when I'm on wi-fi and it really saves my battery.

    Hmm, what about incoming phone calls? Then again in my case I tend to not answer the phone anyway

    3G is about data, not voice. Turning it off does not stop incoming calls. It does not even stop data; only slows it down.

    3G affects voice quality as well as data speed.

    I would like to say I turn it off and only use it when I need it, but I would never remember to turn wifi off.

    I have ask to join networks turned off but that's about it.

    I always leave mine on. I do not mind having to hit cancel on random networks that I can not connect to. When wifi is on I am always connected to my home network and can pick up Panera, Starbucks, etc. without having to got to settings.

    I leave mine on most of the time. I only turn it off if I know that I won't be able to recharge the whole day and battery power becomes a precious commodity...Disneyland for instance.

    I also use wifi when I download bigger files. I usually keep it on often. It does not make any problem.

    Mine is almost always on. Most of my life is spent at home and school both of which have wifi. If I'm going out for a few hours though, I generally turn it off to save battery. And I have ask to join networks off for those times I forget to turn off wifi. Getting the pop-ups annoys the heck out of me.

    I turn my Wifi and bluetooth off when not needed cause it feel like its wasting energy looking for someone (router/paired device) to talk to.

    If I'm not using it I turn it off because I've been told that it will constantly search for a network and decrease battery life. Same with Bluetooth.

    Is there any proof that turning wifi and bluetooth off, increase battery life?
