netConnected.isOnline not working on old devices

MIT App Inventor Help

netConnected.isOnline is nice but is not working on some old device.
And for new devices it freezes the program for too long before a response.
Is there anything similar or is anyone able to develop a similar extension?

if you are talking about an extension, what about adding the link to the extension, so everybody knows, what you are taking about?

It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.

To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select “Download Blocks as Image”. You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.

Hi Taifun,
i found this extension trough your website list :slight_smile:
https://www.aix-extensions.fr/downloads/category/free/ Internet Checking

the block is easy to explain without images:
Notify1.ShowAlert = netConnect.isOnline
on Samsung S3 gives False also when i have connection

(while the other instruction available
Notify1.ShowAlert = netConnect.haveNetworkConnection
is working fine instead)

thanks
