1. A mobile wireless apparatus, comprising:

  • one or more processors;

    at least one air interface configurable to communicate via a first wireless network or a second wireless network; and

    a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, causes the mobile wireless apparatus to;

    determine when to tune away the at least one air interface from the first wireless network to the second wireless network; and

    prior to tuning away the at least one air interface, implement a function that reduces a likelihood that a network server will adversely alter an operation of the network server when transferring data to the mobile wireless apparatus using a transport protocol,wherein the adverse alteration of the operation of the network server is associated with the network server timing out within the transport protocol based at least in part on the network server not receiving one or more acknowledgements from the mobile wireless apparatus.
