If I was one of the many people here who have a functional understanding of the tech involved, I would try to help. But, I leaned about bitcoin from an econ perspective and just followed the bitcoiners off of Twitter to get here.

I'm a bit useless for your issue.

That being said, hopefully you can get the Iris android app working. It's pretty nice. And, from my limited experience, it works very well in poor signal areas.
