Add limited connection mode #746

Closed neslihanturan closed 4 years ago

neslihanturan commented 7 years ago

I think most of our users might be travelling abroad and they possibly have limited internet connection. They should be able to select "limited connection mode" to prevent contribution and nearby lists from load (we can display an information string instead). So user can only upload image by using minimal amount of resources. Do you also think such feature would be nice?

neslihanturan commented 4 years ago

Well, I could not find nice a CC0 placeholder file, so made one myself :). We can use this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Placeholder_view_vector.svg

jidanni commented 4 years ago

Did anybody try uploading images with limited connections, like in #3972?

fnordson commented 3 years ago

Has there been any progress on this feature?
I'm kinda lost with the Tags here and it being moved from "in progress" to "done".

@fnordson I have never tested it yet, but I believe it is now implemented on the master branch, which you can get by opting for the alpha version, instructions at https://github.com/commons-app/commons-app-documentation/blob/master/android/Volunteers-welcome!.md#how-to-install-the-alpha Thanks!

I've successfully signed up yesterday but I didn't get the Alpha. Still on 2.13.2. I was in the Beta programme already.

Hi @fnordson , what email address did you sign up to the alpha google group with?

nicolas-raoul commented 3 years ago

@fnordson Can you please post a screenshot of your About screen? The commit number might reveal something.

fnordson commented 3 years ago

@misaochan you should have got it if you have notifications on.

@fnordson Does Play Store show the app as up-to-date? And if yes, would you mind trying to uninstall and reinstall? Sorry for the inconvenience!

fnordson commented 3 years ago

@nicolas-raoul No problem. I did uninstall it twice now. Once a few hours after I joined the alpha programme and a second time minutes ago. (Other apps did update in that time so it's not my store or something like that) It does say that I'm a beta tester before I install. Do I have to opt-out of beta to get to alpha maybe? I was on Beta on another phone months ago because I had issues logging in in a past version.

@fnordson , I did not receive a notification, hence why I am asking for the email address that you signed up with, so that I can check if you are actually a member of the group (which is required for alpha testing). If you don't wish to reveal it here, please email commons-app-android-private@googlegroups.com so that we can look into it.

Alpha testing is a subset of beta testing. To be an alpha tester you have to be signed up for beta testing on Google Play, and also a member of https://groups.google.com/d/forum/commons-alpha

@misaochan I seems my join to the group had been blocked by my adblocker. I'm in now...sorry for the confusion :(

misaochan commented 3 years ago

Happy to hear that @fnordson :)
