Apps that need to route all client-server communication through the operator infrastructure. One reason for this is that for example for client-> server HTTP requests, the operator will add various parameters to the request (like subscriber ID/name/phone number/whatever) so our server side app will know information about the actual subscriber who is making the request. Another reason is operator billing - if the request from client -> server goes through the operator servers (eg over 2g/3g), the subscriber can be automatically billed for the services that he uses (so the cost of whatever services the user uses, will automatically show up on his/her phone bill.. more specifically - an app that has a "buy" button and when pressing it, a request is made through the operator servers to the app provider servers and the user gets the content from the app provider and the cost is added to the phone bill by the operator. For this to work, the request MUST go over 2g/3g )
Currently the only solution for these kind of applications is to present the user a dialog "Please turn off WiFi if you want to use this application" and that's not really nice from the users point of view :( Tauno On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 8:07 PM, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry, I don't believe you can.
