Hello Veronica, You ask an interesting question.
My answer is that it depends upon how you have the app setup. For example, in my case, I had the CNN app setup to give me notifications. Now, perhaps, if I had not allowed either notifications or allowed the app to access my current location, it would not have broken my Wi-Fi. Frankly, by the time I isolated the problem, I didn't care anymore, I only wanted my Wi-Fi to stay connected. Finally, I am not saying that the CNN app, alone, is the problem, I am saying that removing it fixed my issue.

Maybe this is a silly question, but I have CNN on my phone, but haven't used it since installing 5.1.1. I can't imagine that this app would break wifi connections if I don't call upon it. But could I be wrong here? In a way, I hope so. <grin.> I don't use this app very much and it would be really cool if deleting it would solve the problem. <grin.> Maybe I'll kick it out anyway. Thanks a bunch.
