I want to retrieve information about the currently available Access points in an IPad app. As far as I learned there is a way to achieve this with a jailbroken device (see iOS wifi scan, signal strength).
Since I am using iOS 6, I was wondering if someone knows whether the scanning of wifi information can be done in iOS 6 without jailbreaking the device?

I'm using the NEHotspotHelper API. In iOS 11 beta 8 is happening a strange behavior in the command filterScanList.
The networks that I delivered they aren't displaying with the message of key kNEHotspotHelperOptionDisplayName.
I need to turn off/turn on the Wi-Fi for displaying them. It's a bug?
I have questions about programming in BlackBerry Devices OS 5 - 7. Is there a listener that can listen if the device is just connected to internet connection? The task of my app is that if the device is connected, it will send a http request right away.
Looking forward to it.
Best regards,

The listener you want is called CoverageStatusListener. Have a look at the API: CoverageStatusListener and CoverageStatusListener OS6.0+. Note the two flavours - you might want to use the extended version in your OS 6 and above apps.
But that said, coverage is only 1/2 the story. You might have good coverage but no access to the specific web site you are targeting. Another common problem is things like WiFi Hotspots - you can be talking quite happily on WiFi, but unless you have signed in to the Hotspot, you are not going to be able to communicate with your web site. So the many links that have already been provided by Signare (in the comments for your question), are useful. Here they are again, plus one more that I think is useful:

Am using Nokia 5228 phone. I want to install the other Phone OS like Nokia 5230. Is this possible or Not?
As far as I know this is impossible to achieve. Since the Sw is different for different phones.
Even though two phones appears to look same in functionality, obviously they will have some different functionality some where.. [Either in GUI or in the back end].
As well as, the device S/w are designed as to recognize the particular mobile phones for which they are made for [by serial number/ model number or may be anything else only.]
Also you'll have to get the S/w first which is very difficult to get.
You ca not change anything in the device so that the device gets other phone's S/w.
So conclusion is:
You CAN NOT install the Nokia 5230 OS for Nokia 5228 Phone.
I would like to create application for Windows Phone 7, which will be communicating with desktop application via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi. Is there any API in Silverlight, which allows to use Bluetooth/Wi-Fi programatically?
Looks like bluetooth is going to be standard in the chassis spec. Unfortunately at this stage there is no api exposing Bluetooth functionality in the SDK. I think we'll have to wait and see on this one.
I understand devices will be able to inherently connect over wifi the same as 3g. No low level wifi specific api's known at this stage.
Does anyone have a script (or know if it is possible) to detect bluetooth via a webpage (without knowing beforehand if the device viewing the page has bluetooth).
What I'd like to do is check for bluetooth and poll for nearby devices.
Can this be done? Or could it be done if you knew what device someone was using? ie. is it OS dependent?
You cannot do this from a webpage, without the help of some sort of browser plugin.
Besides, I would have serious issues with a site that tried to "poll for nearby [bluetooth] devices" whenever I visited it...
