Oh and SELFIES: thanks for reminder: Gaaawgel is now rolled out the image placing thing: Friend's poodle-chiwawa got flagged as a 'white collie'. Not even close. Tried image lookup, with my girlfriend... (Oops, please try to use, smarter than I do!) |

It was far from perfect but worked surprisingly well considering it did all the AI on the device itself. (That was about a year after Xiaomi released a smartphone that makes people look prettier in selfies.) |

I tried watching this guy, but he came across as too much of a conspiracy nut. |

So I am noticing, pretty consistently, a change, now interrupting a playing video / music, and seems consistent around 2 or 3 minutes in... The interruption involves video pausing / loading more, with the 'wait' circle indicating more download is occurring. BUT then, I always notice, the antenna ICON comes on, replacing the (expected) WIFI icon with the (disappointing) Cell Tower dish, as Android phone reverts to simple on-air downloading. The house has always had fine high speed WIFI with coverage outside a few feet into the back yard. So what has changed? From my interests, I don't want / like my phone service taking measures that cause my service 'minutes' to be siphoned down, (until my monthly service is used up by the first week. Sometimes, I wonder about others, so this thread helps (renew hope). So, 'vad', sorry, but your 'lame' warning, (don't go around suspecting 'KGB')...is just that: Lame discredit, more censorship etc, to stop others' questions. Sorrry: I got questions ! |

It sounds like you bought a crappy android handset that the wifi keeps dying on :-DD |
