Revision history [back]

Hi

I've noticed that when my SailfishX is connected to my home wifi sometimes it takes hours until a message someone sent to me over whatsapp arrives. And, when going outside the range of that wifi (device switches to mobile), I receive any pending messages.

Lately, when I am expecting messages, I just tap the wifi down -- and if there are any incoming messages it takes like 2 seconds to get these received.

I used to think that switching between the networks is the "cure" there, but today's experience with WhatsAPP Web gave the thought in subject line:

While using WhatsAPP Web when SailfishX is on that wifi, usually around 15-20 minutes I get 'You phone is not connected' message displayed on web browser (or something similar, I get it in finnish. so...).

I tried some tricks, like pinging 9.9.9.9, which did not help.

Then I disabled wifi -- and, unsurprisingly, the "phone is not connected" disappeared.

And ... THE CONNECTION HAS BEEN ALIVE EVER SINCE.

¿Has anyone else there experienced the same lately?

¿Does anyone have any idea what could be the culprit?

I remember it is just not with this particular wlan access point, but at least with one other (of the same brand).

I am currently running 2.1.4.14 (Lapuanjoki) on F5121, WhatsAPP 2.18.91

The problem has been there since 2017-10 when I bought the device.

There is somewhat similar thread, https://together.jolla.com/question/122636/bug-android-messaging-whatsapp-messages-arrive-late/ -- it could be something related to android layer -- OTOH something between Xperia X and some particular wifi devices.

(And, don't nobody not suggest changing to another messaging solution -- I'd like to, but I'd be alone there ;/)
