Dave, I noticed the same that the wifi connection manager returns wifi connection information also if you are not registered on wifi anymore. It might be that the API description is not correct (or the implementation ....).
If you use the API connection.getActiveNetworkInfo().getTypeName()); from the ConnectivityManger you can find out from which type your current connection is. Then call the corresponding connection manager (mobile or wifi) and get the networkInfo. -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
