Bug: Losing data connection when known wifi available, but no signal
Scenario: I have been connected to a wifi and I walk further away from the wifi access point until I have a wifi icon which shows empty signal bars and a star icon. When I use the internet, e.g. open a browser, phone tries to use the wifi ap but fails. This spawns the selection dialog for connection method. I choose mobile data and everything works fine for a minute. Somewhat after a minute the phone switches to try using the wlan again and fails. At this moment browser is not able to open any pages anymore until I disable and enable the mobile data usage from the settings. Then it connects back to mobile data and browser starts to load the page again.
In this kind of situation where known wifi is available, but you can't really use it, shouldn't the mobile data stay connected until there is a working internet connection established through the wifi?
ps. this behaviour is already a lot better than the phone jamming connection error banners, which were present in the same scenario before 1.0.4.20, but I think this is still issue to figure out how the connection switching should really be done.
