Doesn these types of application problems invalidate WiSyncPlus approach to connection management?
No, not at all. Keep in mind it is perfectly valid and even reasonable to expect you will travel to locations where data services are not available. Traveling into subterranean locations (for example, sub-basements, tunnels, subways) or extremely rural areas are both locations where one might lose their data connectivity. Furthermore, placing your phone into airplane mode has a similar effect. Traveling to these types of locations results in the same loss of connectivity as WiSyncPlus imposes. Applications which do not work properly with WiSyncPlus are buggy in the most general sense and need to be fixed.
