I have been testing waydroid and I love how it works but I do not understand why if I start waydroid connected by wifi, after about 10 seconds it freezes and the phone reboots itself.
If I use it through mobile data everything is great.
What could I do to keep using it via WiFi?
Sorry for my English, I am using google translate.
Thanks in advance

@soulrock Maybe a kernel patch issue?
WayDroid and it's intergration in Ubuntu Touch is still in an early pre-alpha development stage. It might be buggy or simply unusable...
If you use Telegram, you get get assistance in the WayDroid user group:
-
@stanwood I am on the Telegram channel. Some questions have been resolved, but yesterday I asked a couple of times and no one answered.
I have not used any patch or anything and I have already tried to search on my own to see if I could find a solution and nothing, that's why I ended up asking here
-
My best guess is :
- WiFi doesn't like beeing Bridged with the Waydroid interface for some reason...
- DATA Modem doesn't mind that at all.
Does that make sense ?!
-
@soulrock Apps in WayDroid use the default Ubuntu Touch WiFi to connect.
WayDroid WiFi or Bluetooth can NOT be turned on due to conflicts reasons.It's by now not possible to use apps depending on WiFi or Bluetooth (to control IoT devices for example).
-
@stanwood I don't think I can explain myself.
My problem is that when starting waydroid, if I have the phone connected to the Wi-Fi network, the phone freezes and reboots.
If I have it connected by mobile data, it starts without problem
I can't start waydroid if the phone is connected via WiFi.
I am not activating the wifi from waydroid
-
@soulrock I didn't face this issue on Vollaphone, and have no idea of what can it be...
So you might ask for help on the official Telegram group I guess...(?) Or maybe someone else here can help you?Sorry to not be able to help you further...
-
@stanwood Nobody answers me. I have been answered in other questions, but this one is completely ignored
-
@soulrock From my very low technical knowledge, the only thing I can advise you is to try to reinstall WayDroid:
But first try to check if a new WayDroid image is available:
waydroid upgrade
If this does not fix anything, reinstall WayDroid:
waydroid session stop sudo waydroid container stop sudo rm -rf /var/lib/waydroid /home/.waydroid ~/waydroid ~/.share/waydroid ~/.local/share/applications/*aydroid* ~/.local/share/waydroid
Reboot device then:
sudo apt remove waydroid
Reboot device then:
sudo -s sudo mount -o remount,rw / apt update apt install waydroid -y waydroid init ubports-qa install xenial_-_fixwindowreopen
Reboot device
And try again
-
@stanwood I have tried a waydroid reinstall and a whole system reinstall and it has not worked for me unfortunately
-
@soulrock So I checked with Rudi.
He just told me that this device hasn't got the appropriate kernel patch, this explains why you have some issues.Please contact the porter, or wait until a fix comes in a future OTA update.
-
@stanwood Ota from Ubuntu system or waydroid system?
Either way, I'll wait patiently.Thanks a lot
-
@soulrock From OTA. Hoping the porter will add those kernel patches to be deployed in a future OTA release.
-
@stanwood Well, I'll wait patiently. How can I mark the question as solved?
-
-
@soulrock Go in the title, "tools for subject" than "Ask a question", than "tools for subject again", than "Mark as solved"
By the way, I encourage you to email the porter. For your device there's no commit since 14 months. So maybe the porter does not work anymore on this device (maybe...)
You can reach him at shou@disroot.org
Good luck!

@soulrock said in Waydroid reboots my phone connected by wifi:

Hi, I would like to ask, this is happening on vanilla waydroid or you installed some additional apps already?
-
@c4pp4 I have gapps

@stanwood
When mentioning someones e-mail please make sure it can not be harvested by various SPAM Bots that crawl around on The Internet! -

Maybe some package from GApps can cause the problem, because I have similar experience with Facebook Messenger installation. It runs after installation without problem, sending messages, taking and sharing pictures etc., but after next waydroid start (after cca 5 seconds) the app freezes the whole system. Anyway I didn't try to turn off wifi and use cellular data instead to check if it's the same problem.
