Hey all ā wanted to give a quick update here for everyone. First off, we appreciate everyone taking the time to fill out the survey. We have collected a lot of information from all of you (clearly) and we have been using that information to focus our testing as we continue to try to reproduce this issue in-house.
To reiterate, no one in our QA department (or on our team in general) has seen persistent issues like those described in this thread, despite the fact that many of us use the Android app on a daily basis. And thousands of users have run our Android app in recent weeks, which suggests that in the vast majority of configurations this is working as expected. As you might expect, itās difficult to pin down an issue in a development environment if we canāt figure out how to make it happen.
We have some testing planned for later this week that should mimic some environmental variables we saw consistently across many of your setups ā weāre optimistic that testing will yield useful information. Already, weāve seen that the overwhelming majority of you are running Linux Cores, and are seeing successful connections when the Core is rebooted. While this hasnāt yet led to consistent reproduction steps, it does give us invaluable information about the nature of this issue.
We are also planning to put some additional logging and potential fixes into a test build this week, and we will likely want to test that with one or two of you running simpler setups ā we will be in touch.
I also wanted to mention that we did recently find a connectivity issue that we hoped might resolve this problem ā again, we canāt test this confidently for the moment. That fix went live in last weekās release and while weāre glad it seems to have made a difference for a few of you, clearly there is still work to be done here and we wanted to reassure everyone that weāre committed to seeing this through.
As an aside, Iāll just mention that Android is one of the trickier platforms for us to debug due to the fragmentation of devices and operating system versions. Across the 13 people whoāve completed the survey, more than 16 different Android devices were mentioned.This makes things more complex, but itās also good news because it means this isnāt likely to be device-specific, and also because we have a few of these devices in house.
We will be following up with a few of you in the next couple of days for additional logs, testing, and clarifications. Looking forward to resolving this ASAP, everyone. We really appreciate your patience, guys.
Thanks!
