Well for me it's safe to use google because I never use it really.
so once connected and being on the landing page at the airport, I just close the tab, so no connection to google at all.
But I like the solution proposed by Kugiigi, it didn't work for me in a hotel, but I was able to find the local IP address used by the router and that worked.

RE: Enabling hotspot in weak wireless signal area
Hi @treebeard
As Arubislander said when turning on the hotspot your phone now uses the WIFI chip as an AP an not as a client anymore.
So it should use the mobile data (3G, 4G, 5G) and it is really doubtful that it uses the WIFI network.In order to serve as an AP and as a client at the same time, the device would need 2 chips and 2 antennas, one for reception, the other to emit.
What is probably your issue is that a phone acts as a bad AP and the antenna is not the best, plus the channel selection might not be the best and if the wifi chip is warming up it can also degrade the mobile data connection as well. The hardware is often not intended to be used this way even if the software allows it. -
RE: Devices Webpage Update
@Luksus It is up and running. Main change is the group/support level the 20.04 devices are listed under and what that means (as mentioned in the blog) for the user to expect. Also what happens if progress or maintenance of the devices changes or stops.

RE: Devices Webpage Update
Has the person doing the port/maintainer requested that the change be made? The devices page can only be updated if people know about it.

RE: How to conect to open WiFi?
This is due to the "https" secured protocol.
When connected to an open public WiFi network, just open Morph browser and open this website: http://neverssl.com
You will be directly rerouted to the web page of the web provider to activate your connection.
Tip: You can create a webapp with Webber with this website that you can rename "Public WiFi" and just click on it after you did connect to the WiFi. Just ensure you activate the "URL" bar when you create the webapp....

@naizena Try owncloud that works when nextcloud will not.
Edit: Just checked and the ownCloud account does work with The Good Cloud nextcloud account. Odd thing I know but same with other Nextcloud accounts too. -

RE: Enabling hotspot in weak wireless signal area
@treebeard it should already work the way you suggest. At least it does so on my Pixel 3a.
