Is there a way of returning the value of Android's mobile network setting for "use only 2G networks"? The app being developed measures the internet speed at a certain location, but in order for this to be relevant, it must know if the user is deliberately restricting mobile internet to 2G. I've taken a look at ConnectivityManager, but it only provides information about the background data setting or all networks. Iterating through them reveals that despite the setting being enabled, HSPA and UMTS return true for isAvailable() : for (NetworkInfo netInfo : cm.getAllNetworkInfo()) { Log.i(TAG,

I'm using the reachability API to detect my current connection, but I can only distinguish between WIFI and 3G. I get the following flags: LTE: kSCNetworkReachabilityFlagsIsLocalAddress|kSCNetworkReachabilityFlagsIsWWAN|kSCNetworkReachabilityFlagsTransientConnection|kSCNetworkReachabilityFlagsReachable WIFI: kSCNetworkReachabilityFlagsIsDirect|kSCNetworkReachabilityFlagsReachable The problem is that LTE returns the same flags as a 3G connection. Is there any way to determine whether the user currently has LTE or 3G? As of iOS 7, you can find this out using the currentRadioAccessTechnology

I need to get the network from which device was disconnected. Now I use: NetworkInfo ni =intent.getParcelableExtra(ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO); And check: ni.isConnected() if this returns false ni - is the network from which the device was disconnected. But ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO is deprecated in API 14. Google says use getActiveNetworkInfo() to get network information. But getActiveNetworkInfo() always returns network with which the device is connected now ( isConnected() must return true)! How do I get the network info for the network the device disconnected from

I've been researching this for a couple of days now and looks like it's not possible to keep bluetooth connection alive while the phone goes to sleep or if the app is in the background. However, I have found one app that claims they can run all the time: RunKeeper app says: What's New In Version 2.5.1.0 Support for tracking heartrate in the background with Wahoo heartrate monitor. Does anyone know how they manage to send heart rate data to the phone while the app is in the background? UPDATE: Got it working by adding an entry in my plist under "Required background modes" for "bluetooth-central

I am trying to install Zabbix Monitoring server on Linux Cent OS 6.x. I have installed Zabbix 2.4 version on it. I have followed the following article of Zabbix to configure it: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/installation/install_from_packages Once I reach at IPAddress/zabbix at browser settings, I have successfully passed PHP settings and configuration stage. But, when I go to next steps where I have to apply database settings, it is not working. However, I have created required database with permissions, and imported schemas too. I have checked all required services and they

Can someone provide better and faster way to check if Google is available in Android? I have observed that connectiontimeout doesnot stop in given time_out. rather it takes more than a minute.. public static boolean isConnected(Context context){ NetworkInfo info = Connectivity.getNetworkInfo(context); return (info != null && info.isConnected()); } public boolean checkInternetConnectivity() { try { HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) (new URL( "http://www.google.com").openConnection()); urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Test"); urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close"); urlc

Does anyone know of a way to obtain the phone service state (IN_SERVICE, OUT_OF_SERVICE, EMERGENCY_ONLY, POWER_OFF) in android. I was hoping there would be a broadcastreciever to identify the changes, but I can't find anything. I know there's a listener but I'm not sure how I would use that from my app as it runs as a service using a WakefulIntentService (by thecommonsguy). With something like battery level (ie BATTERY_LOW, BATTERY_OKAY) it's quite easy, but I just can't work out a similar things for phone service changes. Register a receiver for public static final String ACTION_SERVICE_STATE
