Android apps all crash at startup

Hi !

You could say I'm the most unluckiest Jolla user in time (since this is not the only critical software issue with my Jolla phone that I'm the only one person on earth to even have experienced).

Basically, ever since I've gotten my phone, from version 1.0.0.5 to 1.0.3.x, no Android apps have ever launched. At the beginning, I couldn't even install Android apps. The newest versions of Sailfish allow me to install apks, however launching an Android app is still impossible.

Whenever I launch an Android app, any Android app (Yandex store and apks from the Jolla store included), the application first appears as a tile in the home screen, hangs in there for a little while, then disappears. No error messages or notifications are displayed anywhere.

The first thing I'd like to know is where to find and how to launch my android applications from the terminal ? There must be something logged and maybe it'll help fix the issue.

Since I know Android apps are known to have issues linked to mobile connectivity, I may have to add that 2G/3G doesn't work on my phone either. To be more precise, 2G/3G only on the first launch of the connman daemon after a factory reset, and even if I try to launch Android apps while it still works, it fails in the same fashion. I'm thinking the two issues might not be completely unrelated though.

EDIT: Tweek found a solution for people having this issue: https://together.jolla.com/question/13805/android-support-not-working-apps-not-loading/#post-id-14896

For those who cannot fix their Android issues by clearing dalvik's installation, it also seems that issues with Mobile Data network can easily cause Android applications not to launch.
