Waydroid reboots my phone connected by wifi

stanwood

@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).

soulrock

@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

stanwood

@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

stanwood

@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.

soulrock

@stanwood Ota from Ubuntu system or waydroid system?
Either way, I'll wait patiently.

Thanks a lot

stanwood

@soulrock From OTA. Hoping the porter will add those kernel patches to be deployed in a future OTA release.

soulrock

@stanwood Well, I'll wait patiently. How can I mark the question as solved?

@soulrock Take a look here:

stanwood

@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!

after about 10 seconds it freezes and the phone reboots itself.

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

soulrock

@c4pp4 I have gapps

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.

soulrock

@c4pp4 When you have a few minutes it would be nice if you did a test without wifi and leave a comment if the problem persists

@soulrock
Hi, I've tried Messenger again and it's the same problem - when on cellular data, it runs smoothly. Great finding, thank you.

soulrock

@c4pp4 It comforts me to be able to use it even through mobile data

@c4pp4 , I have same (MI a2) using any app.
when disabled WIFI and enabled Cellular data, all looks ok. When starting an app using WIFI (even browser like Edge or DuckDuckGo) I am able to load page but at some point whole device crashes ( so it is not always immediate reaction ) .

..sorry for noise, I know thread is resolved already but I tried to add any info if may be useful..
