Android OS - Catch 22 loop on Tinder location Anonymous 2015-12-29 06:17:23 Post No. 18823 [Report]
Problem:
- My Data works alright
- My GPS is okay
- If I connect to a public Wi-Fi, my mobile will try to download from that Wi-Fi, but the low bandwidth will prevent Tinder from working properly.

So it's a catch 22. I am happy to turn on my Wi-Fi just to improve location, but if I do so I will lose the advantage of data bandwidth (because my mobile hooks up with the town open WiFi). Conversely, if I keep Wi-Fi off, I'll be prompted endless questions: "improve your location accuracy by turning on Wi-Fi?"

By "endless questions" I mean: pop up was prompted more than 72 times until it pissed me off.

Any idea on how to circumvent the problem?

P.S.: It an issue even for those who pay for the service.

Sorry, I'm not very good at Wifi or Mobile Comminications but I definitely think you should swipe right on Amanda once your issue is resolved OP.

Straightforward: remove the town wifi from your list of networks to automatically connect to
Better: pull up a terminal window, and use route to set the metric of your 3g connection higher than the metric of your wifi connection
Best: get an iPhone and turn on Wifi Assist
