I relapse mainly because smartphone doesn't have any web filter and porn is just a touch away. I got k9 installed in laptop, but the mobile application is a failure I would like to know if there are ways to filter porn In smartphone
Get an iPhone, friend. There truly is no way with an Android. It is way too easy simply to bypass and even easier just to reset even if you can't bypass. iPhone, on the other hand, needs iTunes to reset and restrictions are pretty airtight, even working on in-app browsers (you can also restrict changes to your account so you can't use Find My iPhone to reset)
My dear friends, just install quastodio and give your account to your brother/sister/grilfriend and than tell me how are you going to bypass that
Uninstall all other browsers and install "spin browser". It's impossible look at porn in this way. Then block play store with appblock and your life is saved.
In my opinion a filter should be like a safety belt - anyone can get around any filters if you want to. You need to change the way you think, you can't really rely on filters. This video might help
You can simply reset he phone by looking up the model online and pressing external keys (like the power and sound keys) to reset the phone. It really is too easy. This may work for you. If so, great. But this depends on the severity of the addiction. Some people need stronger barriers because the urges are simply too strong. Eventuall, yes, you need to get to the point where you can resist yourself, but in the short run do what you have to do to prevent relapse
Unfortunately you can't remove the default Samsung browser on the Note. Qustodio comes in handy for this as you can restrict access to that browser.
Thanks for sharing your insights For me filtering is necessary. I have a habit of typing some crap in the browser search bar in a split moment of unconsciousness . An ordinary browser leads you to deeper crap, whereas filtering help you at least buy some time, realize the stupid thing you are doing and come back to senses. If it is mind control alone that works, why is that the first thing most fapstraunauts do when they begin their reboot is delete all porn stashes? Cutting down access to crap is a great strategy in my opinion I understand the mindset you are talking about, that level of self control. I haven't reached there. Till that I must make use of whatever resource available in this fight!
Thanks for reaching out! I cannot get an iPhone. Real affordability issues.. But I figured out a way to filter crap on my Android phone, thanks to a fellow fapstraunaut
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much! This is working for me! I can't thank you enough! God bless you man!
First of, thank you very much for your response and help! I don't have Note. I use an Android smartphone (Xiaomi Redmi) where the default browser is Chrome. Here's what I did 1. Installed "Spin browser" from playstore 2. Using "App lock" feature, locked Chrome ( my default browser ). The lock was set by a friend so that I can't cheat 3. Using the same "App lock", Locked Playstore Now I can't access crap!
What's the "app lock" feature? So far nothing has disabled the default Samsung browser on Android. Can't delete it either.
I just turn off my Wi-Fi, my Mobile Internet, and just use it as a media player/dumb phone. That's just me though, and I guess sometimes the internet is important. What's more important to me is keeping away from Porn, so I make that sacrifice.. It makes it hard to contact my friends sometimes though LOL, that's always fun.
Never used samsung. Please see if this helps https://gs3.gadgethacks.com/how-to/...from-snooping-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-0150458/
He guys, stop posting work-a-rounds for blockers! Not cool. Blockers have saved my life! I wish whoever posted them would deleat their above posts in this thread so i dont come back to read what you wrote in a time of weakness.. Im on Android, I use the Boomerange blocker in conjunction with the Spin browser. Its $10 a year and worth it.. it has timers so i can turn off all web access at night when im more vonurable, and i have aps like youtube, facebook etc set to turn off 10pm, and instagram 8pm. If i need to block a website or an ap or make any changes I can just text my accountability partner and he has the password and he can do it from his phone. I also blocked the ap store too. It works great.
We just installed SPIN. I never knew about it before this post. Lifesaver!!!! It disables ALL other browsers, including the stock browser that can't be deleted.
