Fix to "no server conection"

[romanklavijo]

I had a great nervous moment when I try to get into my wallet and start seeing "no server connection" with no money!

Then I check online and a guy on Reddit talks about the issue related to Android version, so I uninstall and install the wallet (with backup codes) and it doesn't work.
From this point, with a lot of nerves, I use an emulator with the Android 10 version (using Android Studio) and it works perfect!
I immediately saw the funds and the complete transactions.

Officially I do not see anywhere that these connectivity problems exist for the Android version. But this method worked perfectly.

Obviously, if you have an Android 10 to try it on, you don't need the emulator. Feel free to ask.

Got no connection issues with android 8.

It is now possible to restore mycelium wallet seeds on electrum so that's probabky the best solution to fix this if you have it on android.

(have you tried deleting cache, data, uninstalling, restarting and then reinstalling)?

Yes I clear everything from the Phone and don't work. In fact, now still the problem so I'm using the emulator with Android Studio just for this. Maybe another kind of things affect the connections, but I also try with VPN and using the TOR-Orbot proxy settings, nothing works.

No issues here using Mycelium on Android 10 on a Nokia 7 plus or on an old Google Nexus 7 Tablet using Lineage OS. What device/android version were you attempting to connect with?

"No Server Connection" and the associated issues syncing transactions/0 balance seems to have been an ongoing issue with Mycelium for quite a long time now. I'm wondering if it is just a problem with their backend server infrastructure not being able to service all the requests and so people end up being unable to connect/sync?

The fact you were still having issues with when using different networks (with VPN/TOR etc) means that we can probably rule out some sort of filtering/network blocking...

Maybe you could have also went and discuss with the dev/s https://github.com/mycelium-com/wallet-android/issues

I mean.. you seem to have fixed an issue.. it's only you who has it. It may be related to some unusual setting in your phone, which you bypassed with the emulated Android.
And maybe they have an idea on what could be the cause.


PS. Also for me Mycelium works just fine. Android 8.1.
