REGRESSION: yes (since: 4.4.0.72 - aarch64)
DESCRIPTION:
In prevoius 4.4 and earlier releases internet connectivity on a mobile data connection for Android apps worked intermittently and often failed when moving from WIFI to mobile. Android apps simply reported ‘No internet’ or similar. From release 4.5.0.16 mobile data connectivity for Android apps, specifically on Xperia 10 III and XA2 seems completely broken. Testing with Aurora store, Whatsapp, Facebook, MS Outlook, Messenger, Slack & Telegram gives connectivity errors in every case. Restarting the network stack from settings/utilities, or android support, or rebooting the phone does not correct the problem. Sailfish apps are unaffected by this problem and can access the internet using mobile data at all times.
PRECONDITIONS:
Need Sailfish X with Android support
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Stay in range of WIFI, use Android app requiring internet; works fine
2.Move out of range of WIFI, so that mobile data connection in use; no internet connection possible for tested Android apps - Move back into range of WIFI; internet connection for Android apps restored
EXPECTED RESULTS:
Android apps should be able to connect to the internet using a mobile data connection.
ACTUAL RESULTS:
No internet connection for Android apps using mobile data at all - completely broken.

Also tested on XA2 upgraded through all the 4.X releases incrementally to 4.5.0.16
It is understood that Jolla made some changes as a result of:
But, certainly in my case abd for some others, this seems to have made the situation worse than it previously was.
