Solution

  • another snippet from an applilcation I've written recently: 

    TelephonyManager telManager;    
telManager = (TelephonyManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
int cType = telManager.getNetworkType();
String cTypeString;
switch (cType) {
        case 1: cTypeString = "GPRS"; break;
        case 2: cTypeString = "EDGE"; break;
        case 3: cTypeString = "UMTS"; break;
        case 8: cTypeString = "HSDPA"; break;
        case 9: cTypeString = "HSUPA"; break;
        case 10:cTypeString = "HSPA"; break;
        default:cTypeString = "unknown"; break;
}
