Hi there,

I am having some troubles with some users and wanted to ask for experiences with the same issue and possible ideas.

My application connects to a server to get information by web-services using HTTP requests.

Mostly it relies on a good connection.

That is not always the case, I see tablets (95% of my tests are with tablets) that even close to the access point are not reliable.

I do not have control of all the environment variables because this is reported by users, but seems there is a good difference between the hardware used, making the tablet WiFi connection not reliable taking as a whole view.

I wonder if there is a way to check this situations before sending the request to the web-service, hoping to get a window of opportunity for a good connection, since the server is pretty fast to answer.

This application is a business app and the tablet is only used for this, so I can take control of whatever is necessary to make it happen.

I can force connection, test, etc. I want to hear ideas and if possible piece of code to help on this.

Many thanks in advance.

Eduardo
