Greetings! My sister's Android 11 based Samsung A10s stopped receiving Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals a few days ago. We would try to turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but it was stuck on the scanning screen. I thought why not get an OTG adopter and plug external Wi-Fi antenna so I bought one. The problem is, that phone isn't even recognizing that adopter (that Wi-Fi adopter is even recognized by our sattelite receiver with bare-bone software whereas our old Windows PC has no issue in utilizing that adopter). I think that phone is still trying to establish a connection through the on board Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module. Is there a way to force that phone to use that adopter instead of the broken one inside? TIA! PS: Our personal research showed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems were also faced by other A10s users and some videos suggested to get that nodule repaired. But her phone was able to connect to WiFi and Bluetooth after the fault for almost 5 days and today, the very problem creeped again.

    Adding proxy is a native feature in WhatsApp.

    1. Go to Settings > Storage and Data > Proxy.
    2. Add 127.0.0.1 in the IP address and add a random port too.
    3. When you want to disconnect WhatsApp from the internet, just turn on the proxy. To reconnect, turn it off.

    Infinity for Reddit is dead.

    Another anti consumer move by Meta. Messenger Lite just worked better and without stutters on my old device with less RAM. Plus the ability to send files was an added bonus, too.

    I guess I'll have to use the web version of Facebook lite.

  • Hi, just tried Summit and it has improved very much compared to its early access days. The work done on this app by the developer and the community is admirable. I have just one little feature request. Can you please add the option to skim through posts and comments via volume buttons the same way Infinity for Reddit/Lemmy does? TIA!

    Does Wefwef PWA connect directly to Lemmy?

    No problem, fella. I was worried about us overwhelming the servers of different Lemmy Instances. But proxy is still good. For instance, if I live in a country which is geographically distanced from the server, it will work fine regardless of my geographical distance.

  • If I interact with a Lemmy post via Wefwef, will it go to wefwef.app domain first and then to Lemmy or will it pass the request directly from my phone to the Lemmy Instance (s)? TIA!

    Looking for an App-Blocker which can Unblock Offending Apps when Certain Screentime is Achieved

    I don't think it is possible to leave an app on idle with default screen time out settings as the person in question will have to unlock the device after screen goes off.

    Apps can know which websites are being visited through their accessability services without relying on activating a VPN.

  • Greetings! I am looking for an app which blocks distracting apps like NewPipe, Infinity and Facebook and unlocks them when the screen time of 1 hours and 30 minutes of a productive app like OneNote is achieved. This should also apply to distracting websites. I think the screen time of productivity based apps requiring distracting apps to be unlocked is a fantastic way to stay productive and I have not seen any blocking apps implemented this feature. TIA
