Mobile Network Connection Detection

Question

I used the following code to detect network connection:

function isConnected() {
        var networkInfo = Windows.Networking.Connectivity.NetworkInformation;
        var internetProfile = networkInfo.getInternetConnectionProfile();
        if (internetProfile && internetProfile.getNetworkConnectivityLevel() === Windows.Networking.Connectivity.NetworkConnectivityLevel.internetAccess) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

It works fine with wi-fi and wired network and also Sprint 4G. However, it doesn't work with my Sprint 3G USB modem. 

networkInfo.getInternetConnectionProfile() returns null.

How can I do this right?

Thanks

Hi,

There are some known issues about this API in current CP. The issue you mentioned looks like a bug. I've reported this issue internally. Thanks for the report.
