to check whether your phone is connected to the Internet, use the following code:
ConnectivityManager con=(ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Activity.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
boolean wifi=con.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI).isConnectedOrConnecting();
boolean internet=con.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE).isConnectedOrConnecting();
these lines check for internet connection whether it is through WiFi or Mobile Internet.
you need to add the following permission to the AndroidManifest.xml file
<uses-permission android_name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
Another method is what our freind
Kevin mentioned in the comments, is to check if a certain website is reachable or not like this:
public static boolean isOnline() {
try {
InetAddress.getByName("google.ca").isReachable(3);
return true;
} catch (UnknownHostException e){
return false;
} catch (IOException e){
return false;
}
}
we check if a site is reachable within a certain timeout or not.
Chipset (SoC) is very likely to be Snapdragon 805 (instead of 800). This is a very good news because Snapdragon 800 is already quite an "old" chipset. The only problem is the drivers development by Qualcomm. Lets hope that wont stop HTC from replacing S800 with the S805.
