Should I have problem with connection to internet from iphone phonegap app through 3G or EDGE?

Question

I have an app written in javascript/html/css and using phonegap framework. For javascript ajax I use jQuery.ajax(). App work fine when there is wifi connection but doesn't work when there is 3G or EDGE. Does anyone know if there is something I can do to make it work seamlessly?

Answer 1

The means you are connected to the internet should not make a difference, unless the size of the datafile(s) you are transferring are too large for fast transit via 3G or EDGE.

Answer 2

To trouble-shoot, use PhoneGap's Reachability API to gauge your connection, whether its wi-fi, 3g/edge, whether you have an internet connection, your server is reachable etc.

The UIWebView does not differentiate what type of connection you have, its all transparent (at least it should...)
