Thanks! Will pass your suggestion to my brother who may proceed with the repair.

Is there a Way to Use External Wi-Fi Antenna in an Android 11 Based Phone Whose own Wi-Fi Chip isn't working? (lemmy.world)
 

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.

Sadly, I am getting the warning even whitelisting YouTube on Ghostry. I have to turn off Ghostry altogether to do away with the warning.

WhatsApp will now let users log into two accounts simultaneously in c/[email protected]

That's strange. Try 192.168.1.100

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.

Just add proxy to something that leads to nowhere to block WhatsApp from connecting anywhere.

The dev just deleted the old API key according to recent comments on Reddit.

Meta is pulling the plug on Messenger Lite on Android in c/[email protected]

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.

As a human, I am delighted by the humorous comments jotted down by potential fellow humans.

Can the developer of this app add the option to use volume buttons to navigate around posts and comments? (lemmy.world)
 

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!

Now that Sync and Infinity are out, which do people prefer? Also, how do they compare to the existing lemmy apps? in c/[email protected]

Voyager strives to replicate the design of Apollo and it is just released on Play Store today!

Also using volume buttons to scroll posts/comments is a plus.

Best lightweight note-taking app? in c/[email protected]

Obsidian, Hands down.

Tried out Sync for Lemmy today... I'm back in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

But at least it is functional, smooth and loads faster.

Does Wefwef PWA connect directly to Lemmy? (lemmy.world)
 

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 (lemmy.world)

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
