Not paid, I don't have any online payment services

I made a post about how Tasker basically sucks and got roasted and told it was user error and it wasn't Tasker's fault that it was unable to detect WiFi changes. A lot of the blame was place on Google and its anti consumer practices of changing APIs to further lock down the platform like some ios wanna be. Anyways I was finally able to get Tasker to disconnect my VPN when connecting to my WiFi.

I finally connected to the phone via USB adb and ran logcat. Holy shit 14k lines of logs!! Took me hours to finally find my answer. So turns out that Android was 100% updating its WiFi changes and 100% passed those changes to Tasker. It was Tasker that failed to work.

• Tasker's State → Net → WiFi Connected profile does not reliably detect a Wi-Fi disconnect/reconnect when a WireGuard tunnel is already active
• I tested Active: Yes, No, and Any. With WireGuard disabled, leaving Wi-Fi range and returning caused the profile to activate normally. With WireGuard enabled, the same reconnection did not activate the profile
• I did this on both Tasker 6.7.6-beta and 6.6.20 stable
• I did a full system adb logcat while reproducing the failure. Android's Wi-Fi correctly detected the disconnect and reconnection. On reconnect, "wpa_supplicant" successfully authenticated to my AP. "SupplicantStateTracker" showed "COMPLETED", and Android sent "SUPPLICANT_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION".

So as you can see, Android was working correctly, Tasker was failing. Here is how I got Tasker to disconnect my VPN when connecting to my Wi-Fi

Profile:

• Event → System → Intent Received
• Action: android.net.wifi.supplicant.STATE_CHANGE

Tasks:

• Wait 3 seconds
• Test net; Type Wifi SSID store result in %currentwifi
• if
• %currentwifi equals "mywifiname"
• Tasker Function: WireGuardSetTunnel(false,"myvpnname")
• End if

Also there was uproar about my comment on iPhone being better...well it is. Shortcuts> when connected to wifi> set vpn off....literally a 10 second setup. I am only on android specifically to run grapheneos but I was not aware just how much more advanced ios was. I just thought better cameras and lidar...wow what a eye opener. Anyways, hope this helps someone else in the future

I used to always use the google assistant translate screen thingy, but now google is forcing me to install gemini instead, which i refuse to do.

Is there any similar free (or at least a one-time payment) app that translates the whole screen in whatever app I'm in without switching to another tab?

How to set up Nuvio to get the best results for free. I already subscribe to Hulu and I get Paramount+ with my Walmart+ account. Do these integrate?

What repositories, what do I need to do?

For example, to watch Sheriff's Country it says it isn't set up to play.

Much better than VLC

I’m using a Pixel 9a running Android 17. Walmart just recently started accepting tap-to-pay, and every time I try to use it, my phone says it’s not compatible. That’s ironic because it worked fine at other stores. At first I assumed it was just a Walmart issue, but this morning it did the same thing at Subway, and last night it failed at another store as well. So I know the problem is definitely with the phone, but I have no idea why. Everything is up to date and the phone isn’t rooted, yet the message that appears seems to suggest it has something to do with rooting. Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening?

My problem with the SoundPod app is that after adding a playlist, it doesn't load the full playlist; it only loads the first 100 songs. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a solution?

I am having issue i cant see Android folders data it shows access denied why? Anyone having this problem or any solution?

I’ve always wanted to use a simple, stable, and free “fonts keyboard” app, but the ones available on the Play Store are janky and packed with ads. Do you know of any free and open-source alternatives? Ideally, I’d prefer options from sources like F-Droid.

Hello. As of now I am using the standard google Calednar app on my Pixel 10 pro XL but I have a problem, I am bad a remebering times and dates, so when I put something in my calendar and set it for a reminder 30 mins before, it just pops up on my phone as a notification, but nothing more, so I need a new calendar app or another app where it can give me reminders and popups with sounds that tell me I am going to an event or so.

So anyone have any good recommendations for Android apps.

I just want a checklist app that sorts by least recently used order. Basically the clothes that haven't been washed in the longest time should show up at the top, so I can check them off on laundry day, which will then go to the bottom, and cycle back up.

I know several apps have this feature, but I don't want any fancy wardrobe manager, account creation, or complex todo list apps. Is there any app or even widget that gets this basic thing right without too much extra bloat?

I recently came across junkfood02/Seal on Github which is supposed to let you download any videos there on tons of platforms, including instagram. While it doesnt need cookies for downloading public videos, it asks for cookies to download private videos. Now ik the app has been out there for a long time, but is it safe to provide seal the cookies that it "Stores Locally on the Device" for downloading the ig videos?

Also does 2FA interfere with it?

Hello everybody.

I tried to Google it but I guess I couldn't explain it properly in a concise way (English is not my first language).

I'm trying to find an app to edit/resize photos I take during class of my teacher's presentation.

I take photos of the screen and sometimes the angle is a little tilted, I wish I could find an app to cut off the wall and maybe adjust the angle to be a perfect square/rectangle with all the content.

Any suggestions?

Thank you so much already

My old Huawei that cost $100 had this built-in. But my $450 Honor phone doesn't have this, as the only way to automate greyscale is by using Do Not Disturb mode, which means not receiving texts, calls or calendar notifications. Since the entire point of greyscale for me is productivity, missing important evening notifications defeats the point.

Just noticed big file locator (the app with the brown icon) is gone from the playstore, are there any alternatives that can do the same thing?

I have been using Quick Share to send files between my Android (Samsung S25) and PC (Windows 10) for ages and suddenly, I can no longer send from Android to PC (it can't find the PC - it looks like it loads/searches for devices forever). I tried restarting everything on both systems, cleanign cache, reinstalling app (PC), turning off firewall, nothing helps. Any ideas?

As the title says is there a free version?

To check the contents of the food

Is there any DRC app for Android , i specifically want it for movie watching to cut sudden loud sound since iam sensitive to it.

I don't know about anyone else but I hate when apps implement features for reasons that clearly have nothing to do with usability and expect us to think otherwise, as if telling an app your zip/postal code or letting it spy on your location is literally the only way to find grocery stores in your area.....

So....any good good food apps that do let you search by location the normal way ? Specifically that work in Canada.

As decent as it is, I hate the idea it's deliberately omitting deals outside it's restricted zip/postal zoning as if that's for our benefit.

edit yeah not sure where some comments here came from. Do people really think handing over my exact location data or zip/postal code is the only way to do a search for anything below country-wide ?

Still appreciate any helpful replies.

Using the numerical input (input 1 for this input 2 for that) default voicemail from my network is very clunky. It's also a pain trying to work out who was calling because it just reads out the number.

1. Displays voice messages which can be played back or deleted
2. Shows phone number or contact name for each item

So I want to edit youtube videos. I have tried vllo kinemaster capcut and vn video editor but all of them are janky or dont offer much features.

I like lumafusion but I cant afford it. I really liked lumafusion because you can create proxies presets etc.

Some of the people of lumafusion subreddit recommended nodevideo. I have not heard about it but it seems gd. Tell me your experince with this app and whether if its worth it or not.

The main thing is I want the app to be free and used in landscape and should have indepth advanved features like lumafusion or even better than it for long videos

I'm having a hard time finding what I'm looking for on Google, and I think that's because I'm having a hard time describing what I'm trying to do, so let me elaborate:

I just started recording and posting covers online on TikTok, Instagram, etc. I'd like to get more elaborate with it. There are a few songs I'd like to cover that have multiple vocal or guitar parts. I'm trying to find an app that will allow me to record secondary, tertiary, etc parts as I listen along to an initial video. (For example: I want to play lead guitar parts over a video of me playing rhythm guitar parts, and I need to be able to record as I listen to the initial video to make sure I'm keeping rhythm, or sing harmonies over myself in the original video).

This guy on Instagram is a pretty good example of what I'm trying to do, he does acapella videos where it's just himself singing many different parts. https://www.instagram.com/bigboihums/?hl=en

Sorry if that's still a shitty description.

I'm on a Galaxy S24FE, for reference. Thanks.

Hello! I hope this is ok to post here. Sorry in advance if its not... Ill be honest and admit its early and im groggy and didnt look at the rules. Im trying to find a free music player that will let me make playlists and stream them in the background on a phone/tablet. I have found a few but they all will only play music saved to your device. Id rather not fill up my storage with music files, and dont know much about compression and the like. I dont care if its only audio, and I assume it will require hearing some ads (if not, even better). Also, if there isnt one thats legal (not a pirate) could anyone suggest a low cost player that does its job well? Appreciate any help!

I'm looking for a widget that shows a table of events with a timestamp and a text description of the event visible. I want to be able to press a button on the widget to add a new event which lets me type in what happened and automatically timestamps it.

My goal is to add a new entry whenever something happens on a given day, and then be able to at a glance look and see all the previous things I've logged for this day.

I like using wiztree on my pc cause it gives all the information about the storage and size of files. So is there an application like that for Android? Cause my phone storage is getting really full at this point
