Just grabbed my phone - Galaxy S7 (stock ROM) to change music. App showed that it couldn’t connect to RoonServer on Linux. Status shows as “initializing”.
Same server working fine from wife’s iPhone 6 and Windows PC.
Force quit app but same problem, rebooted phone and all OK. Prior to reboot checked other apps had network access fine which they did.
Same issue from my side. Unable to connect using Android 6.0.1 phone. Phone restart helps, but only for one time. See server log (running on Ubuntu 16.04):
Hi @Stephen_Oliver ---- Thank you for the feedback. In order to acurately evaluate this issue you are experiencing I would to gather the following information from you. Please see below.
Describe your current setup, in detail, as seen here.
Can you think of any reproducible steps or patterns you may be noticing when roon gets into this state?
Are you experiencing this issue with any other devices that are being used for remote control?
Is there a fix or workround for this? It exactly describes the problems I am experiencing using my OnePlus 3T running android 6.0.1. My old tablet running android 4.4.2 seems to be working fine so far.
I have this intermittent issue also. Galaxy S6 Edge android 6.0.1. Running RoonServer on Linux Elementary OS (was also having the same issues on Ubuntu 16.04 so I switched to Elementary to see if it persisted). As others have stated sometimes rebooting the phone fixes it but not always. Sometimes it reconnects on it’s own (but rarely). I’ve found bouncing the RoonServer always fixes it immediately (which is what had me chasing the Linux distro thinking maybe it was a server side problem).
Having the same issues here with Galaxy S7. Prior to 1.3 release I was having constant problem with disconnects, to the extent that I found the product almost unusable. Who wants to walk around with their laptop to change music? I was hoping 1.3 would fix this problem. Phone is running 1.3 32bit (196), Core is 1.3 (200). The problem has not gone away. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Android client and that didn’t fix the problem. My logs show the same things as posted above. I have not seen the same problem with MacOS clients 1.3 (200) 64bit
Some more info:
Android 7.0
Roon build 233
Server is Linux, no problem connecting from windows remote.
Tried force stopping the app, still the same problem.
Rebooting the phone fixed the problem temporarily.
I’m als having the same issue on a samsung galaxy s6 running android 7.0. Sometimes it works fine but most of the time it just keeps initializing. My core is running on Ubuntu Server 16.04.2 LTS. Roon version 3.1. build 234.
I haven’t found a systematic way to the Android app to connect to the core. Sometimes just rebooting the core fixes it, sometimes I have to reboot the core multiple times and/or reboot the Android (Samsung S6 on Android 7) to get it to reconnect…
