Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ushahidi/SMSSync/issues/421

ConnectivityChangedReceiver will respond to CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE broadcasts: github.com/ushahidi/SMSSync@a1f2224bbb/smssync/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml (L280)

CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE is broadcasted when connectivity is gained or lost, but also when connectivity type changes, e.g. from wifi to mobile:

Changes to a device's connectivity can be very frequent—this broadcast is triggered every time you move between mobile data and Wi-Fi.

This seems undesirable.
