2 questions about the services app...

[tikigod19]

Hi i was wondering.. I have the services app installed which enables me to turn on and off bluetooth wifi edge and ssh.

1) what is SSH? and if I turn it off will it automatically turn on when its needed?
2) if i turn wi fi on but i am out of range of my home network (and i have it set to not tell me of other networks) will it still use my battery up or is it better to leave it turned off until i need it at home?

Thanks..

1.) SSH is the ability to access the iPhone's filing system over WiFi and meddle with it. If you don't want to meddle with your iPhone via WiFi like this, then turn it off. It will not automatically come on, but unless you deliberately want to use SSH, there is no reason to have it active.

2) It will waste power still. While it may not tell you it has detected other networks, it is constantly searching the environment for what is there, and if your home one is there, it joins that network. Best to turn it off unless deliberately being used.
