Possible from update to 3.3.0.16 the connection of all my installed android app-stores (F-Droid, APKPure and Aptoide) do not get internet connection any more. Failures occures like "cannot connect to internet", "Error getting F-Droid index file", "download failure" etc. The internet connection and downloads inside all installed apps are working. Aliendalvik Control was updated to v9.2 before update of sailfish to v3.3 as recommended. It was also deinstalled and reinstalled. Allow install non-market apps was checked-on and -off. All these do not help.

I found only really old hints (mostly not relevant any more) regarding internet connection failures in android support in some specific apps but nothing actual.

Same here with F-Droid on Xperia X

I can confirm this - after fresh reinstall of Xperia X to Rokua, none of the markets do work as expected - errors are as described above.

People who have this issue should upvote.

I have the same problem on apkpure irregardless of which version. Might it be a problem with the root cert which was invalidated a couple of days ago? I have only dalvik 4 phones so maybe there's a bug in there.

This is an internet hiccup. Try it again. It works for me.

I don't think it is only Internet hiccups, I have been having similar issues since months in some apps. It's not happenning in all Android applications though, can it be related to some TLS protocol some apps are using?

Nope, already fixed

Weird, that still happens for me in the application Trainline.eu with latest AD on Xperia XA2. Not all applications, actually the vast majority work, but some may require higher dep versions or protocols we do not have (?).

@Kabouik, this thread "index file blah" is a different problem like yours i guess.

Maybe a pkcon-refresh will help? You will need to be root in your terminal (devel-su) and then type "pkcon-refresh" to renew the local packet index.

But since it is a problem with Android App Stores a proper check of permissions in every app and in Alien Dalvik Control should be your first try.

Did you delete the cache of e.g. fdroid?

Don't shot the OS :) Trying later is enough.

F-droid has been fixed by a workaround. Just remove the last official version, in case U've already installed it. Now go to Jolla store and install the old version from there -> there U go - FDroid worx! :)

I have the last version 1.8. (05/20/2020) and it works.

4carlos ( 2020-06-06 07:17:43 +0200 )edit

It works. The first Update is F-Droid itself and also that updated version (1.8) works now.

The same works for Aptoide. Deinstall and reinstall from the Jolla Store and downloads are working.

Have a look :

This is not a Sailfish bug.
