Mozilla Firefox / Fennec F-Droid (apk) browsers - "no internet connection" (mobile data, Android AppSupport is on)

Bug Reports
#1

Both apk’s downloaded from official and reliable sources (Mozilla servers and F-Droid). In settings, the “Allow untrusted software” is enabled. Both packages install, and the browser launches, but there is no internet connection nor internet data traffic going on, none whatsoever.

The F-Droid store installed from Jolla Store also does not have internet connection, so it does not help trying to install Fennec from there.

Download sources of apk’s:

Could it be that your Android support has lost internet access?
Restart it or reboot and it should work.

I have this sometimes that Android support looses Internet access. Mostly after starting AS while Internet on SFOS is running. AS’s Internet access is then established again if Android apps are closed manually, then turn off VPN + Mobile Data in settings and then turn them on again, then start Android apps again. Reboot not neccessary.

I had prefer 3G or something like that in the Android settings. Changed to LTE and mobile data started working.

#5

Prefer a mobile network generation in Android settings? Where is this? Never saw that this exists.

#6

I’m not sure if that really did the trick, but I didn’t do anything else:
apkd-launcher com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings

#7

If you tap on Show license in AS part of settings you can go inidrectly to AS settings.

#8

Oh yeah, tapping Licences shows Legal Stuff with sub-items ‘3rd party licences’ and ‘System Web-View licences’. THEN when tapping the ‘back’ button in the upper left corner, I could access the Android Settings page.
BTW, using the Android Back arrow below leads to crash/minimize the AAS window.

AAAND, there is in Network and Internet → Mobile Network → preferred network type indeed 3G selected, but always works despite in SFOS there’s 4G selected and connected and working.

#9

An easier way to open the Android settings is to go into Settings → Android AppSupport, and then tap ‘Android version’ a couple of times.

#10

Yes, works. Thank you @nthn ! This is really easier to remember what one has to do.

Found this now too after all (why is there no simple button to tap for this - who would ever guess this “secret type” way). So i would like to attempt this (though i don’t think i can change mobile connection to 3G because it is not even available no more in this area). The common mobile connection has indeed never so far worked for me on C2.

However, i can’t even try this 3G suggestion: "Internet

You don’t have permission to change the Wi-Fi network"

is all showing on screen. There is no mention of mobile network …
