I'm interested in fleshing out an idea for a Android phone app, and I'm wondering if this is possible. So I would have the app running in the background on Phone A, then when it finds another Android phone B, it saves certain information like time, GPS location, just state variables.

When I go to a place with a WiFi hotspot (such as Panera Bread) and connect with my iPhone, the hotspot login page appears as a popup. That is, no matter what app I'm running or what web page I'm on, the login page scrolls up from the bottom, asks for my login credentials, and then disappears. But at some other hotspots, I don't get the...

Hi -- I'm writing a .Net class library that's to connect to a specific Wifi network whose name is known in advance, when the signal strength is above a certain threshold.
