    Default fall back for location


    so connectivity on all services wont always be available so i need some fall back methods. Im thinking in this order: Wifi, 3G, Edge for these reasons

    Wifi: Free
    3G: Fast
    EDGE: almost everywhere

    anyone got a better order?

    EDIT: this is for getting location BTW

    Yes, that's how it will be. WIFI first because it's faster and doesn't use T-Mobile's bandwidth, then 3G followed by EDGE for obvious reasons.

    I hope T-Mobile doesn't get too far behind. Spring is already rolling out 4G.

    hmm actually it seems i dont have to worry about fall back with getLatitudeE6() and getLongitudeE6(), unless this only works on the GPS and theres other methods for the other devices. helpz!
