This info is really of great help. I'm still not able to complete the testing with our set up.So i'll definitely verify the same.
Now,i'm thinking regarding the Hand-off problem. 1)Does any hand-off happen during switching from gprs to WiFi and vice versa ? 2)If yes,is there any mechanism to resolve that hand-off ? Suppose,a user is performing some downloading,then this switch will impact his operation heavily and resolution to this issue seems to be a tough one. 3)Do we need to reinitiate opening the page which was earlier getting loaded through gprs and now WiFi and vice versa? Just for your info,i'm using Android Donut version for our project.
