@roth377: I'll try to clear data/cache after a force stop on the android app. Bur prior to this, could you tell me if you use your own apk as suggested by BoringName or if you're still on the playstore version? Also, do you have to clean the android app every time you want to use it or one time was enough?
I honestly don't remember if I found an .apk on the forum (via developer) or if it was on the play store. My memory just isn't that great
As for an update on my part -- I don't seem to have to do it EVERY time now, but it's definitely often. It is unfortunate, but (as mentioned), the clearing of data/cache is a quick workaround and doesn't seem to have negative impact on the syncing (it still does the reverse sync of all music I had listened to and such).
I wish I could find some more concrete correlation, but I'm fairly certain there was:
- no known Windows updates around that time
- no network changes in my house
- it WAS around the same time as a recently security update on my phone (I have a OnePlus, and am on the August security update)
I know it's not much to go on, but I would suggest the clear app data/cache before any additional network changes, only because I''m hopeful it would at least provide you some proof that it's unlikely your network/firewall thats' the cause (because if it works after you wipe data/cache, it would tell me the network can send the information to phone/computer with no problem)
I did also check to make sure my sycn application on the phone had no optimization on it (to make sure the phone wasn't killing a process or removing permissions without my explicit direction.
I know my suggestion won't "fix" your problem -- but hopefully gives you a workable solution while you (and I) still try to find the source of the problem.
