Hi guys, I only just found this forum and I've already written code for activating and deactivating radio. I saw a solution posted on this forum but am wondering if mine is also correct, take a look and let me know if you think it wouldn't work:

//This will check to see if GPRS is disabled.
if (net.rim.device.api.system.RadioInfo.isDataServiceOperational()==false){
  //If radio (GPRS) is disabled, this will enable it.
  net.rim.device.api.system.Radio.activateWAFs(net.rim.device.api.system.RadioInfo.NETWORK_GPRS);
}

This should re-enable radio so that an application can connect to the net? I did a small amount of testing and it seemed to work fine.

Only the RadioInfo.WAF_* constants should be passed into the activateWAFs method.

I have a problem with a thread that sends information back to our server via GPRS (EDGE).

If radio is turned off, for example from Manage Connections->Turn all connections off

The following code in a simulator environment will turn the radio (GPRS/EDGE) back on:

        int iState = RadioInfo.getState();
               
            if (iState==0){
                //switches the network on
                Radio.activateWAFs(RadioInfo.WAF_3GPP); //for GSM
                Radio.activateWAFs(RadioInfo.WAF_CDMA); //for CDMA
            }

However, it DOESN'T work on a BB 8800 or BB 8110. Has anyone else tested this on an actual handset and not just the simulator?

What is not working?  Does the code inside your if statement run?  Note that you should compare the value returned from RadioInfo.getState to the constants defined in the RadioInfo class, not hard coded values.
