Hi,
I'm trying to test an Android app's network behavior when the network is bad. I know I can use adb to throttle the bandwidth that Android emulator has, but I'd like to test on actual hardware. Is there a way to simulate poor data reception, or a poor wifi connection in a reliable and repeatable way?
I was thinking with wifi, perhaps there's some way of throttling the phone's bandwidth, and perhaps I could stand further away from the access point, but with data, am I dependent on my telco's base station and atmospheric conditions at that exact moment?
Thanks.
