Android :: Confirmation Of Carrier APN Internet Connection?
Mar 3, 2010
I have just got my Motorola Milestone ready and working. I have set up the Internet carrier APNs (HSDPA, EDGE, 3G etc) and I wonder if it is possible that Android asks me for confirmation when connecting to one? I don't like the idea of changing the APN name to cheat/workaround it (to make it impossible to connect by setting up non-existing APN), I like to see what connection possibilities are around me. When I'm at home I have a WiFi and also would like to be sure the whole transfer is being done by WiFi, not EDGE. With each connection request confirmation I'd be sure I have it under control.

I have made an App that can connect to a program that I am running on a server, but it only seems to work with WiFi. When I try to use 3G it doesn't make the connection. Is there something special that I have to turn on or set in order to use 3G?

In my application I must use the internet connection ,so I check it first before I open an URL connection using this :-
public boolean IsConnectedToNetwork(ConnectivityManager conManager) { NetworkInfo allNetworkInfo = conManager.getActiveNetworkInfo(); NetworkInfo currNetworkInfo; boolean anythingConnected = false; for (int i = 0; i < allNetworkInfo.length; i++) { currNetworkInfo = allNetworkInfo[i];
if (currNetworkInfo.getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) { anythingConnected=true; }
}
return anythingConnected; }
However this code runs well when I connected to either the operator internet Or to a Wi-fi network. But when I'm connected to the operator but without credit and no internet the mobile also sees it as there's internet,or even connected to a Wi-fi network but without internet gateway it also sees as if it's connected to the internet.

What is the simplest way to check whether my app can access the internet? I am using some APIs that use the internet, but they crash if there is no connectivity. So I just want to check if there is internet access by any means.

I am a newbie to Android so please excuse me if this is a silly question or one that has been answered many times before. When connecting to and using the Internet, I am trying to find out what determines the connection that the phone will use when more than one connection is available: Wifi, 3G etc. Is there a standard priority order for connection and use? can the user set the priority order? Usually I would expect the wifi connection to be preferred for reasons of speed and cost. I have looked at my phone user guide and the official Android user guide but cannot find any information about this.

I recently moved to an area that has limited internet choices which in turn makes for higher internet prices and longer contracts. A friend suggested a droid and tethering it using pdanet to my Mac. I use my internet primarily for browsing, sometimes I'd like to watch hulu or small pdf files through e-mail. Would this be a good option to consider or should I go with an internet connection? If I choose a droid, which one is the best one for tethering? I'm somewhat drawn to the ones with touch screens and no keyboards....but will listen to your reviews.
Supposedly verizon has a bandwidth limit of 5gb. Anyone know if that is monthly? How much is 5gb? Am I going to find myself a month out hating that I made the choice to rely on a droid for my primary internet source? Is there anything else I need to know about tethering a droid to my mac? Are there restrictions for OS X? Is there anything else I should know so I don't get the phone and hate myself later?

i have this android application that requires to load data from a remote server via the internet. this update-functionaliy obviously requires the device to not only be connected to some kind of network, but also to the internet.so: is want to schedule the update-service to some date and when it starts, it should determine whether it actually CAN reach the target server or not. therefore, a simple "is the device connected to wifi?" does not suffice, as the device may be connected to a wireless network that does not offer internet access. something like a PING is required.whats the easiest / best way to determine, if there is an internet connection is available i.e. server is reachable?

I'm basically trying to check that the device is connected to the internet to that I can access and parse an RSS feed. This is also the 1st android app I have written so I'm still finding my way around so any help/advice would be appreciated. I'm sure the variables should be assigned to something but I don't know what. The classes don't appear to have public constructors so I can't do "WifiInfo info = new WifiInfo()".............

Is it possible for Android to connect to Windows ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) via WiFi?I have set up Windows ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on my Windows XP laptop WiFi adapter. The connection is open with WEP disabled.From a Windows Mobile 6 PDA I am able to see various WiFi routers, my laptop ICS and connect to the laptop ICS.From Android I am only able to see the various WiFi routers, but not the laptop ICS connection.Does the Windows ICS use some special Microsoft protocol that the Android WiFi adapter can not detect?Is there some other Android software or app that can connect the Windows WiFi ICS?

I own an HTC Magic and am about to go travelling around my country.
I have the 3g connection on the magic and want to know if I can share it somehow to my laptop using a wireless network or the usb data cable. I would love to be able to surf the net on my laptop using the phone as the modem!
Does anybody know if this is possible - what apps I need and how to do it!

I would like an app that can control my internet/3g connection in a time schedule. For instance turn off the internet at night when I don't use it and turn it on again the morning.

I have an app in which there are several requests to a server in internet (http), for example to retrieve images in threads outside the main UI process. The thing is that I have a Thread that manage the request with a while(!end) loop and in the end a Thread.sleep(500) that checks if there are new unhandled requests. As I read here [1] I know that this is not a good practice. And users have complain about ANR (app not responding) in several cases.
Knowing that obviously I want to refactor all the way my app manage the requests and I want to do that the best way. So, the question is; what is the best approach for doing this? A service? a broadcast receiver and send intents when I need a request to be handled?

I'm developing a C++ application for the android that needs to talk with a server whenever there is an internet connection available. If the internet connection is cut-off the application needs to "sleep" in order to reduce the battery consumption. If the internet connection is back the application should "awake". I'm searching for any kind of event notification available for C++. I don't want to use pooling. I know that in java we receive these notifications from the connectivity service.Can we trap them natively?

I wrote this:
HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection) new URL ("Here my server URL is provided")
openConnection(); con.setDoOutput(true); con.setDoInput(true); con.connect();//
At this point I am getting error saying Java.net.SocketException:permission denied..
Actually I am sending request to server after getting request in XML format I want parse using
xr.parse(new InputSource("URL"));
But its giving error at con.connect(); only. And I have added Internet permission in manifest file.

I am having problem in getting the latitude and longitude on my phone.. So i create an application that only display the "Toast" once i request it to. using the LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, instead of gps. And I try it on my G1.. I found out that if the G1 is connected to my WiFi, i can get the coordinate of my position, without any problem.. once i turn off the WiFi of the phone. The onLocationChanged() is not triggered anymore, instead, onStatusChanged() is triggered.. And I get TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE error.. So what i want to ask is :Is internet connection required to retrieve the coordinate ONLY?

I was trying to make an anonymous class to upload a file to a server.
I wanted to make that easily reusable much like some kind of component.
Everything works fine but as a final touch i wanted to add a function to check if internet connection is available.
Problem is, the call to the connectivity manager needs the Context :
ConnectivityManager connec = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService (Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
Since i'm in an anonymous class and I've read that it's not a good idea to pass the whole context to classes, I wondered about two things :
1 - Is there another way to check internet connection without the Context ? 2 - Why in Android internals make it necessary to have the context just to check if the device is connected to internet ?

I am creating an Android application. This application should send message to computer via internet and Wifi (check whether if the device is using internet). The main function is by pressing on a button in Android device a message should go to computer via internet (I don't know, but I think it should be with UDP). I know that I need to set the server for computer and write down IP and port to the android app code. I don't have any clue how to do it. I kinda need to create a computer (windows 7) server receiver, which would receive messages. I am using Eclipse Android SDK

It's a Motorola Xoom running Android 4.1.2. The issue it's having is that even though the tablet is connected to the internet none of the apps (play store, YouTube, etc) will connect. They all say 'no internet connection'. The only way I know the tablet is actually connected to Wi-Fi is that the internet browser still works. This might be unrelated to the issue but every single website I go to it gives me the warning 'Security warning: There are problems with the security certificate for this site'. Sometimes I will have to hit cancel 10 times before the warning goes away.
this is something I can fix without doing a complete reset because there are pictures and stuff I don't want to lose. Since I can't connect to google play I can't back them up to am app like dropbox either.

For the past few days, I have been having occasional problems connecting to the internet when my signal is showing as full bars of 3G. It usually corrects itself when I reboot but then happens again after some time. This happens when using both the dolphin and skyfire browsers. Ive also not been able to use my Sprint hotspot for the past two days. My laptop and iPhone show as being connected to the EVO via wifi but are unable to access the internet through it. Anyone else having these problems?

I checked the other "no internet connection threads" but I don't quite see the same problem as I think I'm having. I have a non-rooted Desire (Swiss Sunrise) and I updated to 2.2. I'm going on a week's holiday soon and I wanted to see if my Irish sim would work in my phone because the data roaming rates with Sunrise are extortionate (13.90 Swiss francs per megabyte!). Lo and behold, I put the card in and it works no problem! I rang my wife's phone just to check.
There was an alert that came up, asking me to select my home network and I chose o2.ie and I think this may be where things went wrong. Now I can't connect to the mobile internet network even though I have selected Sunrise in settings->wireless/network->mobile network->access point names. Can someone tell me how I can reset my home network to Sunrise?
