WiFi and mobile data are activated all the time.

In our case, there are several problems with activating both WiFi and mobile data all the time:

  • At home, if the WiFi is out of range, switched off, or temporarily out of service, Android would start to consume mobile data. This is highly relevant because, at her home, WiFi is unavailable from night time till early morning to enforce self-discipline.
  • Outside home, there is no need for WiFi. Why should it be switched on when it will never be used outside home? It would just be a battery drain.

What is meant by “non-free network service” in this context?

Geometric Weather gets its weather data from AccuWeather and OpenWeatherMap, which are not open source weather APIs. In contrast, omWeather gets its weather data from Open-Meteo, which is open source.
