ANR / Gateway freezing on Android version 7.0 #132
Comments
@rosteve your first three mitigation steps look like a great checklist of things to do as part of gateway phone setup. It's worth noting that Stay Awake is only meant to work when the phone is plugged in to external power.
@ngamita @derickl & all: Would it be reasonable to recommend that all gateway phones:
? I understand that both of these are onerous and don't provide the simplest usability imaginable. However, from the report above it sounds like they solve the existing problem. Perhaps we can use them while we search for a long-term solution that is easier for users to implement. |
@alxndrsn that's reasonable given the current situation (it's the simplest fix) |
@Osoro - is downgrading a viable alternative - that is if we haven't had similar issues with Android < 7.0 |
Yeah, that's that a viable alternative since we noticed its works well with <= 6.0 but @mukesh2006 would be best to answer this |
@alxndrsn @derickl @ngamita @rosteve We can request the partners to buy a phone with Android <= 6.0 but downgrading might not be a viable option for them at their end. As @rosteve already tested it on Android 6.0.1, and the gateway was not freezing, I don't think it's worth downgrading the Android version on the gateway phone which @kanikamedic has. |

Observed behaviour
When the gateway is left unattended for a couple of hours (approx. 3-4 hours), it doesn't respond and any sms report sent to it or received is not forwarded until you force it to refresh or give a miss-call
Also the phone generally freezes intermittently and becomes unresponsive._
The gateway becomes responsive when we connect it to the machine or source of power hence its hard to collect the source of the gateway app misbehaving in the logs since we need to connect it to a machine. Also the gateway does not hang when it is persistently connected to the laptop to take logs.
Steps we have taken to try to mitigate this
The above unfortunately did not stop the issue.
Expected behaviour
The gateway app should not freeze and should send/receive reports in the background even when the gateway is idling.
Steps to recreate
One can connect to the gateway using teamviewer [Note: If the gateway phone is connected using the TeamViewer, it starts responding.
