WP7 Debugging without Tethering over USB?

Question

i want to Debug some Networkproblem cases in my Application. But i can't really test it because my Phone has internet over USB. If I disconnect it from USB i can't debug... So is there anyway, I can disable the Tethering over USB on my Phone?

Edit: I have a HTC Trophy but it's the same with the Lumia 800 of my friend...

Answer 1

Assuming that you're connecting to a web service which isn't running on your machine, you can test this by disconnecting your PC from any network which gives it access to the internet (i.e. turn off wifi on the pc or pull the network cable.)

It's not an elegant solution or one that can be easily automated but it works. ;) (I used this method with testing an app which would progressively download large files in pieces and would stop and then resume as connectivity was lost and restored.)

Answer 2

You also can use Fiddler http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ as a Proxy for your emulator to simulate lossy connections or no connection at all. This way you can still surf and look for references while you code :-)

edit: fiddler doesnt seem to work for the Emulator(for more information, look into the comments), but if you want to simulate a lossy Connection then this is the way to go, even work for phones with the connection-cable.
