FYI, the DROID user tells me I've got it fixed now. What I did was to
include every subtype which isn't pure 2G in my test:
((netSubtype == TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_UMTS) ||
(netSubtype == TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_1xRTT) ||
(netSubtype == TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EDGE) ||
(netSubtype == TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EVDO_0) ||
(netSubtype == TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EVDO_A) ||
(netSubtype == TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSDPA) ||
(netSubtype == TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSPA) ||
(netSubtype == TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSUPA)))
Hope that helps someone,
String
