Abstract
A wireless communication device may be operated to facilitate directing user applications to use WLAN data connections. One of the user applications generates an application request for a URI, and a browser application requests a translation of the URI into an IP address. An LTE transceiver exchanges wireless data with an LTE network to translate the URI into the IP address. A WLAN transceiver detects a WLAN data connection. The browser application identifies that the LTE transceiver is exchanging wireless data with the LTE network and that the WLAN data connection is detected, and responsively processes a WLAN identifier for the WLAN data connection and an application identifier for the user application to determine if a user WLAN notice should be presented. If the WLAN notice should be presented, the browser application generates the user WLAN notice. The user WLAN notice is displayed to the user on a graphical display.
