apps loose connection when phone switches from wifi to mobile network

There are a few apps that do loose the connection when the phone switches the 'connection provider' from wifi to mobile network and back. one of those is i.e. together jolla app. harbour is another. sailorgram does not have this issue.

now you might say: this is the responsibility of the app dev, but i think that an app should not need to deal with such a basic thing like, where does my data come from.

thats why i did enter this issue here in.

apps loose Phone looses data connection when switching from wifi to mobile network.

In addition to case below with Intex Aquafish 2.1.0.11 and running beta 2.1.1.26 after wifi disconnect the phone switches from wifi to mobile network

is soetimes incapable of connecting to mobile data, even though its available and seemingly connected to 4G.

The only thing that helps is in Utilities selecting restart network which likely restarts ofono. Why doesnt SFOS just force a network restart when connected and receiving Wifi connection drops, that would be a lot less painful for users and i dont mind waiting 5seconds compared to fiddling for tens of minutes with turning wifi off, mobile off and on, switching airplane mode etc.? This issue has not been resolved as of 2.1.1.26.
