Nice new update, coderus. Thanks for that.
I want to provide a little bit more details to the problem I mentioned few days ago. Maybe that helps you find a solution.
On mobile data and at my home using WIFI mitakuuluu works like a charm.
At work we now have a WIFI which is free for personal usage. So you are allowed/able to connect your private devices with it. Nevertheless it is restricted to employes as we have to subscribe to this service and have to use our own login data.
Unfortunately Sailfish OS 1.0.8.19 is not able to directly connect to this WIFI using the graphical interface of the connection manager. As far as I understand it, not all network configurations are supported by this graphical interface. Nevertheless there is a workaround described here:
https://together.jolla.com/question/...ed-workaround/
I had to create a config file manually for our WIFI which is using PEAP and MSCHAPV2. The connection is successful and I can browse websites, download stuff as usual. WIFI indicator shows, that I'm connected.
When I start mitakuuluu it quickly gets into a reconnection loop and CPU usage jumps to 100% during this (checked with lighthouse). This also happens when mobile data and WIFI is activated. But while mitakuuluu is reconnecting, I still can browse websites. And as I mentioned before, ports used by whatsapp service are not blocked as my co-workers can use it without problems on their android phones.
wpa_cli shows no additional entries during mitakuuluu's reconnect loop. That and the fact that I can still browse websites leads me to the conclusion that the connection is still there.
So my final questions:
1. Can anyone confirm this behaviour?
2. What is the trigger mitakuuluu enters its reconnection loop? No connection?
2a: Why is the connection using our WIFI at work not recognized?
Maybe it is a bug in Sailfish's connman/wpa_supplicant. But why is only mitakuuluu affected by this?
coderus, don't get me wrong. It is not a critical bug for me right now. I simply disable WIFI and I can use mitakuuluu without problems. But it is a bit uncomfortable as my workplace is in an area where only 2G reception is available.
