I participated a few weeks ago in the usability testing calls you're running from time to time and I mentioned in that call that I would create a quick mock-up of what I think would improve, simplify and unify the redundancy of the connection protocols present in the lower part of the screen in the Hamburger menu and inside the Settings.

Hopefully the animated gif is pretty self explanatory. I think this concept would unify those settings (so there's no need to actually go to the settings to get more information about the switches)... and it makes those frequently accessed settings much more readily available to the user.

A second connectivity check is scheduled 1 minute after the broadcast, because we've sometimes seen connectivity changes shortly after entering or exiting sleep or doze.
We want to detect these delayed connectivity changes reliably, but we don't want to hold a wake lock for a full minute after every screen on/off event, and in any case that might just cause the connectivity changes to be deferred until we release the wake lock.
Investigate the circumstances under which these delayed connectivity changes happen (on various devices), find out whether our current approach detects them reliably (with and without Tor enabled), and if not, work out how to do so.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1752After internal emulated sdcard's zero bytes disk space free condition, the da...2020-11-16T10:46:50ZmathAfter internal emulated sdcard's zero bytes disk space free condition, the database became corrupted and all Briar data was losthttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1751Explain visibility of reblogs/comments2020-11-15T15:29:27ZakwizgranExplain visibility of reblogs/commentsA user was surprised to learn that a reblogged post was visible to all contacts of the user who reblogged the post, rather than all contacts of user who wrote the original post.

On several occasions the Nokia 3.1 has lost all its connections and is unable to reconnect until Bluetooth is turned off and on again, at which point it quickly reconnects to the other devices. I need to narrow down the conditions under which this happens (number of other devices, amount of time, etc) to find a workaround.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1737Huawei P8 Lite 2017 enters device idle mode despite doze whitelisting2021-04-30T13:38:14ZakwizgranHuawei P8 Lite 2017 enters device idle mode despite doze whitelistingAfter setting up Briar as normal on the Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0.1) and leaving it running for a few hours, the doze watchdog dialog was shown after unlocking the screen, indicating that the phone entered device idle mo...After setting up Briar as normal on the Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0.1) and leaving it running for a few hours, the doze watchdog dialog was shown after unlocking the screen, indicating that the phone entered device idle mode despite Briar being whitelisted.

Wifi and mobile data were turned off, so there was no Tor wake lock keeping the device awake.
After tapping "fix", which prompts to add Briar to the whitelist again, I left the phone idle for more than 24 hours and didn't see the doze watchdog dialog again.
I didn't capture any logs at the time as I was running another experiment. I'll try to reproduce this when the other experiments are finished.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1736Investigate whether library desugaring in Android Studio 4 allows us to upgra...2020-11-15T15:49:34ZakwizgranInvestigate whether library desugaring in Android Studio 4 allows us to upgrade any dependenciesAndroid Studio 4 adds support for certain Java 8+ APIs that aren't natively supported on older versions of Android, which has prevented us from upgrading certain dependencies (eg newer versions of H2 require ThreadLocalRandom).

![briar_diagram](/uploads/c88b9052c156e2043707b7e892de367e/briar_diagram.png)
But it's not working. I mean, I created a little network with 3 phones not exactly like the picture but I simplified it. I will work with A, B and C phones (not the same as the picture, forgot this config). When the 3 A, B and C phones are connected to the network (wifi, bluetooth or internet 3G), it's working, everybody recieve all blog posts.
BUT, if C disconnect, and A create a blog post, then first, B will recieve it.
THEN, if I disconnect A, and connect C, the blog post is not transmitted.
The purpose is to see if B can act as a the C phone on the official picture I shared. May be I did something wrong. Please do you have an idea ? Is it a bug or non-implemented yet feature or a bug ?
Thank you for this app, if it could work like in the picture it would be the best human made app of the century !!https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1730Interconnect all users2020-05-30T06:13:25ZVladislavInterconnect all usersWhy not interconnect all Briar users?
