The wi-fi lock sounds interesting, but I'd need it to work with the cellular network as well. Can I lock both? Actually, a lot of my testing is probably happening over wi-fi since for some reason my Dev 1 Phone doesn't like my AT&T iPhone SIM card for data connections. Perhaps it really does work with cellular networks.
Within the doWakefulWork function I instantiate a class and call one of its methods. It ultimately creates a new Thread to make the Socket connection. I guess that's the issue. Instead of releasing the lock at the end of WakefulIntentService.onHandleIntent, could I pass the lock into my Thread and release it from there? Your KungFu is the best!
