When I create a BackgroundTransferRequest
, with TransferPeferences
set to AllowCellularAndBattery
, I sometimes still get a TransferStatus
set to WaitingForWiFi
. Is there any way to force the transfer to occur over 3G? This is very weird, as sometimes I start 4 transfers, and 2 of them will be fine, and the other 2 will get into the WaitingForWifi
state.

I think the problem may be with file size - see Background Transfer Policies - there are limitations for transfer by 3G. When the file is too large TransferPreferences automaticallly changes.

For now it seems to be no way to force transmission over 3G if policies are not ok.

Ah, that's it, some of the videos are slightly bigger than 20MB :( – Gustavo Guerra Nov 08 '13 at 12:04
