I see this subject died a while ago... so bump it is.


Any further feedback on this?


I have 2 real situations i am researching:

1) I need to tell it to handoff data from Ev-DO to Wi-fi and vice versa based upon Wi-Fi Signal strength (think how UMA handoff works)

2) Want EvDO to automatically start when needed, but just not when a Wi-Fi signal is present

It seems we have many options to completely disable it using scripts and regkeys (many GPRS & EvDO options). I guess i am looking for a little more than just to toggle it on and off.

I have a guy i work with developing on these ideas, but we can really use any insight or feedback from anyone on this. You dont need to be an expert, just PM me about anything you might know, have heard or seen.

(if you know about UMA/VoIP i started a thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9854 to discuss)

Thanks in advance,
