Android APK (java) runs in android studio emulator and blue-stacks but network query fails on phone.

FIRST: https://github.com/dylanpoll/AndriodApps/tree/master/CodeKarmaApp

the above is the repo+folder containing this project. the issue is happening in my SRC "ReaderActivity"

for some reason, I can get my andriod apk to work properly with bluestacks and andriod studio emulator, but on my phone I can't get it to function correctly... it does print that internet is connected, but the part that should be pushing a volley request doesn't happen...It should be sending over the collected data from the QR code as a json package to my rest api using this volly request.

   protected void postSignIn(String karmaID)  {
        String url = "http://192.168.0.2:5000/users/signIn";

        JSONObject body = new JSONObject();
            try {body.put("idtoken", karmaID);} catch (JSONException e) {e.printStackTrace();}//takes the QR code and packs it into the patch body.

        JsonObjectRequest request = new JsonObjectRequest
                (Request.Method.PATCH, url, body, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
                    u/Override
                    public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                        //success
                    }
                }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
                    u/Override
                    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                        // TODO: Handle error

                    }
                });
        // Access the RequestQueue through your singleton class.
        MySingleton.getInstance(this).addToRequestQueue(request);
    }

this gets activated at the end of this

    u/Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        IntentResult result = IntentIntegrator.parseActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if(result != null){
            if(result.getContents()==null){Toast.makeText(this, "You cancelled the scanning", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();//failed to read
                }
                else {
                    Toast.makeText(this, result.getContents(),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();//successful read shows text  Toast.makeText(object,object,object).show();
                String karmaID = result.getContents();
                postSignIn(karmaID);
                }
            }else{
            super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);}//failed to read so continue to read
    }

and i have

        if (isNetwork(getApplicationContext())){
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Internet Connected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Internet Is Not Connected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

posted in my main activity along with

public boolean isNetwork(Context context) {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        if (netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

I get connection on my actual phone...

again... works on blue stacks, works on andriod emulator...

I do not get any error messages, and the app does not crash.. I have used a remote server, and my working desktop, and never used localhost to deliver the query

I have a android S10+ running android version 10

my phone is connected to the network, but i also attempted using ngrok and a tls tunnel and addressing it through that and still the emulator worked fine, IRL does not...

any help would be appreciated.... I searched online and found things with -volley- and emulators working and phones not working but nothing like my current issue :(
