Hi,
am using phonegap to check if a connection is available:
if(navigator.connection.type !== Connection.NONE){...do the work
}
this works fine on android but when the WIFI is turned off on iPhone it keeps saying connection none...how can I get iPhone to dial out and make a data connection if the wifi is off?

Hello Roger,
We could not reproduce such behavior using the connection sample on iOS 7 device targeting Cordova 3.0 and we do not see reports of such a problem in Cordova in general. Please try the sample and let us know whether you observe different behavior.

Hi Steve,
your connection sample has nothing to do with the problem I am having.....it does not use the phone's data connection to connect to the internet so no wonder it works. All the connection samples tell the state of the connection, in the case of iOS "iOS cannot detect the type of cellular network connection"
I have solved the problem by adding the offline/online events listeners (as per the PhoneGap API) to set a global variable that I can check.

Hello Roger,
Glad you found a way that works for you. The connection sample checks the connection of the device and when initially on wifi, it shows wifi, when you turn wifi off without leaving your app (by using the swipe up menu) it correctly detects cellular and not none as you've described. iOS has a quirk documented in Cordova's connection API which is iOS cannot detect the type of cellular network connection, but still it returns cellular and not none.

Hi Steve,
thanks for replying but there is 1 thing that stands out.
My JavaScript code is the same
The difference is the phone gap framework...in Android the JavaScript works as expected in a built app. In iPhone5 (iOS6) the built app does not behave as expected.....this is with the same JavaScript code.
If there was a problem with my code there would be a problem with both phones....and there isn't...so it looks like a framework interpretation issue.
