Thank you!

Where does UTouch store wifi networks and passwords? - I would like to include that in my device backups.

Thank you!

@MrT10001 And what could it be? - so that I could work around that... I'm rather sure it's a bug because once the file is in the download list, the website should not be able to interfere with the webapp... unless it has anything to do with the name of the file - which name is indeed related to whatsapp.

The thing is that the logs don't show any helpful information in this matter...

I made a webapp for another website and there is no problem to open downloaded pictures directly in Gallery from that webapp... So it only happens to web.whatsapp.com... What could the problem be then?

And it's the same with any other type of documents, like pdfs, etc - no downloads can be opened directly from the webapp's downloads list.

I don't know if you use waydroid or not but if you do, what I understand is that if waydroid is used after a phone start up then gps will not work unless you restart the phone.

@MrT10001 It looks like you managed to reproduce the issue that I'm talking about...

Regarding permissions, how do I setup permissions for a webapp?

@MrT10001 Thank you for your reply. Yes, I can open the picture from the folder that I save it into, it is just that I have to use File Manager to go to that folder. What I would like to do is to open it straight from the webapp, after I download it - when it shows the downloads list and I click there, I select to open it with Gallery but then nothing happens.

Hello everyone,

I made an webapp for web.whatsapp.com using webber and I have been using it for quite some time now. I works great, however, when I donwload a picture it saves it but when I click on it inside the downloads list to open it, it asks me to select the app with which to open it (I choose Gallery) but then it doesn't open it. I have to go through File Manager to open it. How can I fix that? - I was wondering if there are any permissions that I need to grant to my webapp maybe?

Thank you for any help!

@Dunbrokin It works really well for me too... The only thing not working is that when it downloads a file (which works) and then I want to open it, it doesn't open it... I have to go to the File Manager and open it from there.

@kugiigi I deleted (with a backup first) ~/.cache/mediascanner-2.0/mediastore.db and then, after restart, I had a smaller .db to look into and there I saw two files in the ~/Videos folder and one of them was a .aac file - an audio file. As soon as I moved it in the ~/Music folder the Music app started working again (playing tracks not added to a playlist).

Thank you again for all the support and pointing me in the right direction.

This was an interesting one!

@kugiigi Yes, it's weird and yes, it happens to any track unless it is added to a playlist.

Another detail (I don't know if it's important or if it only happens to me): when I go to File Manager and open an .mp3 file with Music App, it plays it but also it doubles the entry for that track in the tracks list. After that initial playing of the track, it's the same behaviour: the app exits when I choose to play any of the two instances of the track.

@kugiigi Ok, this is what the log says when the app crashes:

@kugiigi Yes, I can't find anything helpful...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I know it is not a common issue as I never did a clean install with wipe option but instead I upgraded from Xenial and I kept all my apps / settings / etc so I might have some skeletons left

As a last resort I will do a clean install with wipe as I also have other things not working... But I thought just to try to see if I can fix it first.

I have this error in the Music app: it plays a track only if it is added to a playlist, but if I list all the tracks and I click on one of them the app exists...

Does anybody know what's wrong? And many thanks in advance!
