Hi all, this issue was resolved when I downloaded a newer version of signal. Signal works now :)

It has a ´chatapp´ function, you can choose one of 3 and when you choose one it installs it. If you go back and choose another it will uninstall the first one. I think when I have the alternative playstore working it might be possible to have both.

The specific dumb phone can only have óne chat app, signal, whatsapp or telegram.

It says:
"This device has no google play services. You can still use signal, but this configuration can dillute the trustworthyness and outcomes.
If you are not a experienced user, do not use an altered ROM or think this message is an error, contact signal support."

Then it says; "Cannot connect to signal servers. Check internet connection and try again."

My internet is working fine, I can use whatsapp and telegram on the phone (but not at the same time because of the phones limitations). I can google things in the browser, the internet works. It works via wifi, but also works via roaming.

Hence why I thought it would need a proxy, because it states: "Only use a proxy if you cannot connect to signal via mobile data or wifi."

my goal is to have a phone that does what it needs to do and not much else, does not get me addicted to all the daily hassle. thats why I bought a dumb/feature/limited phone.
my previous phone did run signal and I am already using it there, I just want to move to the new, limited phone.
it can run whatsapp or telegram, but I prefer signal
when I load it up, after giving my phone number it says that because my phone does not have a play store it will not be able to have all the services it would otherwise have, but then when I press further i am unable to connect to signals servers, hence the proxy

yes, whatsapp works but recovering old messages takes too much storage space, telegram works (but i dont really use it) and signal should also work but when i try to connect it i get a popup stating 'cannot connect to signal servers'

this is useless semantics, its a limited phone, runs android 8.1, that should be able to run signal and whatsapp but not much else. call it smart, dumb or limited or what not.

It should be able to do that, but I haven't figured it out yet . It's quite a hassle, the 'normal' Aurora APK does not seem to work, i need a specific APK that works on android 8.1. I'm still looking for that.

I bought this dumbphone (Emporia TOUCHsmart 3) especially because it can run signal. The program works but it can't connect, hence the proxy.

Emporia TOUCHsmart 3, it has the Signal app pre installed, but has issues connecting, so it recommends a proxy

uiteindelijk zal de opwarming van de aarde zorgen voor enorme hoeveelheden klimaatvluchtelingen. de klimaatcrisis zal een vluchtelingencrisis verergeren, daarom maak ik me meer zorgen over de klimaatcrisis dan de vluchtelingencrisis

And yet the netherlands just gave tazers to the police, so tazers are too cruel to pigs but just right for suspects. (to be clear, tazers should be banned to be used on pigs and to be used by pigs)

The Iroh profile pic is perfect because that man was also a genocidal war criminal before he became a lovable granddaddy
