Hi Adam:

I had a Universal for a while and had that same problem! Anyway, found
this "fix" at xda-dev:

"When connected to WIFI network, TyTN tries to launch a 3G/GPRS
connection instead of using WIFI.
Check under Settings - Connections - Connections, if your GPRS settings
are set under "My ISP" or "My Work Network". If you don't need to use
proxy servers I recommend you to put them under "My ISP", so you don't
have troubles. Then go to "Advanced" and make sure that you have this
settings:

Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect
using: My ISP.

Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect
using: My Work Network.

Then go to Settings - Connections - Network Cards. Select your WIFI
card, and make sure that you have this setting:

My Network card connects to: The Internet

BUT if you have your GPRS setting under "MY work network" then, here
put "Work", it just has to be the same as in GPRS settings, so wifi is
prefered over GPRS.

You'll have to "disable" wifi and "enable" it again every time you do
changes in the Network Card settings.

Then it should default to wifi if its connected. If you have
directpush, disable it while connected to wifi and make sure that all
existing browsers, mail apps, any web enabled apps (like messenger) are
all properly shut (settings, system, memory, running programs) otherwise
they may prompt the device to use the gprs/3g connection you were using
with them. "

It took care of the switching to gprs problem for me.
