Default Automatically disable data when on wifi?

It's kind of lame that when the phone goes into standby, it will switch from wifi to phone network for data. There's a patch to disable phone data to keep this from happening, but many times I forget to re-enable it.

A patch to automatically disable phone data when wifi is up, and re-enable phone data when you turn off wifi would be very cool, if it's possible at all.

Good idea. I dont personally notice any real battery life diff on my phone when I tried this. Of course I didnt test it all that well either. BUT the point of the data turning on so that you may still get emails and what not. So for a person that wants to get emails on the go Id leave it as it. Could still be a good patch!
