When there is no Internet connection, is there a way to tell the user that they cannot Bump their iPhone to transfer data. I have used motionEnded: method to detect the shake, but the sensitivity is less compared to the Bump feature.
Any help?

You should never gate anything network related based on whether the iPhone believes there is a network available, because the act of attempting to use the network will often make it available. – Steven Fisher Jun 26 '12 at 05:49

use apple's reachability class to check for connection availability and pop up a alertview with your desired message for user.

I have implemented that, but this should happen only when the user bump with another device. If I use motionEnded coupled with apple's reachability, I have to Bump with more energy, then what I get with Bump. Bump's sensitivity is more smoother. – Ganesh Nayak Jun 26 '12 at 05:16

Your question is not clear. Can you tell more about what you are trying to achieve, what you have done so far?
Anyway If I am getting this right, you want to transfer data when there is no internet connection. Remember bluetooth? Apple has built a GameKit framework on top of it. You can explore that.

I don't want to transfer data when there is no internet connection. I just want to notify the user that He cannot transfer the data since there is no internet connection, when the user Bump the device. – Ganesh Nayak Jun 28 '12 at 03:51

I have already used Reachability to notify about no internet when trying to access the network. The issue is that when the user Bump the iPhone to transfer/exchange data, no block is executed or no event is called, when no internet. – Ganesh Nayak Jun 29 '12 at 03:30
