Android apps losing network connectivity [Sailfish 1.1.9.28] [duplicate]
asked 2015-10-01 19:10:06 +0200
Hello!
- I have tried so many fixes that I don't know what to do any more but to report this here and see what comes out of it.
Running Sailfish 1.1.9.28 (SailfishOS 2.0)
The story in a nutshell;
I got the Jolla device recently, condition was pretty much brand new.
- Reset to factory defaults and installed every Sailfish update Before even starting to use the device
- Installed Android Support With WLAN+LTE(4G) connections enabled and active.
- So, what I am facing here is that all Sailfish native apps are working fine and they have network connection working without any problems.
When ever I use any Android apps, they lose network connectability radomly for some reason and nothing helps to fix it, it just comes back at some point.
- Reboot / Restart device Does Not help
- Restart Network Conections Does Not help
- Terminal / App solutions on-site Does not help
- Fully remove Android Support/Alien-Dalvik and Clean istall it Does Not help
- Have spent several days researching and testing different solutions Does Not help
- As you see, I've tried quite the various tips and tricks already so running out of options. Any Permanent, and I mean Permanent, fix would be great because the phone is now in use on daily basis and this problem is rendering it useless pretty much since there is no native apps for certain things that I use on daily basis.
I have had one occasion that android apps have lost network. I had been out and was sharing via jolla hotspot to another device and when I got home when disabled sharing wlan was left on and connected automatically to my home wifi. After this noticed that none of android applications had network. Turned of wifi and connections were back up. Haven't tested yet can this be reproduced.
tatuj ( 2015-10-01 19:32:21 +0200 )editI loose connectivity when my jolla is fresh started or simething caused mobile network to restart. afterwards i loose the connection for the android apps. it works after connecting to wlan and then back to mibile ( didn't test it enough to be 100% sure). sometimea it fixed itself after a wgile, sometimes helped restarting device, network or android support or all of them together. it's a kind of magic, so I can't tell for sure what does the work and in which cases... :(
Dragomir ( 2015-10-01 19:50:42 +0200 )editThe problem I am having is more like the "Alien Dalvik" - as in Android Support - loses network connectivity completely (Wifi + Mobile, literally both). Yet the Sailfish applications work fine and can access the internet, while every Android application are in the type of situation, where the internet would be unplugged. - Restarting any services / supports / device does not resolve the issue. Internet connectivity just "magically" starts working again for Android apps, while it works for Sailfish all the time.

malibu1106 ( 2015-10-01 20:50:44 +0200 )editWell, so far only temporary fix I have found working most of the time is to use APK called Terminal Emulator for Android, which can be found via Aptoide.
Basically pings Google DNS every 60sec (helps to keep connection open/active), drains very minimalistic amount of battery but at the least have had my Android apps working and connected to the internet. Next time you need it, you just open the Terminal Emulator for Android, swipe left/right and go on business as usual because it automatically now starts the "ping" command on each launch.
