How do we programatically detect whether the BIS data traffic is routed through the carrier network or Wi-Fi. Looking at the BB logo dots, we can see that it will be near Wi-Fi indicator if data is routed through Wi-Fi, and near the carrier signal indicator if the data is routed through the carrier data network.

Is there a way to detect that programatically?

Ok. that should help. I have already disabled wifi by setting it as disallowed transport type in connection factory. But still bis goes through wifi. I thought disabling it means the traffic will never go through wifi ,

is there any way to not use wifi for bis?

[simon_hain]

bis_b is an own transport, it automatically selects the available route

[rihan007]

Yes and that is the problem, I don't want it to select wifi basically. Looks like the only way is to turn off wifi radio programatically then . Any thine else you can think of Simon?

[simon_hain · Accepted solution]

no, i don't know a way to influence the transport, so i would guess disabling wifi would be the only solution.
