Revision history [back]

Spotify as one of the most important Andoid Apps stopped working (not reliable; see details below) on my Xperia X. The newest version in the Aptoide Store is 8.4.83.621. The version before 8.4.83.614 worked fine.

Before I started debugging it never worked. Just a black window appeared never loading content (tried surely just a few times). Some minutes ago it for example worked eight times in a row. The last try again didn't load anything.

Attached 2 logs I created with

devel-su /opt/alien /system/bin/logcat

after a restarted Android service and called right before opening the app.

The working one was the first and the not loading one the second. The log ends right after I hit the quit button of the wait/close layer.

Additionally here the error log of the payback app (a german cashback platform) which does not load anything at all. It would be an important app for me, but I understand that it has not such a high priority.

Update 2018-12-08:

I most likely found the main cause/difference most of the tries working and failing. Tested on the newest version 8.4.84.863 in the Aptoide Store. If i logged into a wifi it failed and on mobile connection it (always) worked. But on the other hand for the debug logs above I should be logged into wifi as well. Anyway I now reproduced it 2 times working with mobile internet vs 2 times failing in wifi. Can someone try to test this as well ?
