Yeah while looking through WifiManager and ConnectivityManager I saw those methods. However, I don't want to enable it automatically because the user probably disabled it for a reason. I think it is better to give them a choice rather than just go ahead and do it. In addition, I think I should let them choose to either enable their 3G (if they have it) or Wifi and configure the settings before forcing them to use my app.
