Directly Access Network Setting to select wifi

So something that is kinda a pain for me is that if I'm shooting someplace that I usually have wifi service. If the camera eye-fi times out than my phone will automatically connect to my home wifi. If I start shooting again I need to go to press the home key, nag to a different screen, press settings than wait for the eyefi network to appear than reconnect than go back to the app. I already posted an idea which Sandisk usb wifi's use which is awesome but those are more continuous connections. Maybe if possible can you reduce the amount of steps needed to connect back to the eyefi network without the leaving the app.... or maybe a button to go directly to settings?

Greg, Oh, how we would love to be able to do this... Unfortunately, iOS does not provide us any ability to either deep-link into the Settings application, or even launch the Settings application itself, and have our app be approved for the app store. Please feel more than free to contact Apple to provide APIs in an upcoming iOS SDK to make the user experience better. Berend

This request is sadly "declined", with our very sincere regrets. As Berend pointed out in an earlier comment, this is at the very top of the list of things we wish we could fix, but Apple does not give any iOS app the ability to solve this. (Things are somewhat better on Android, where our app is allowed to detect and change the current Wifi network.) We will be adding some features to the Labs iOS app to try to better communicate the network status and provide troubleshooting directions, but they'll all still lead to the need for you to manually go to iOS Wifi settings and change back to the Mobi network.
