This specific issue was resolved in version 1.1.3.1548799037 but there is another scenario where the user chooses to refresh while offline (pull down on the list, or select refresh from the menu). In this case the checksheets are removed from the device before verifying that the server is reachable. This bug has been resolved and will be available in version 1.1.4.x which is currently pending release approval.

Hi Paul Kiar.

May I know if this is the latest version of Mobile Inspection: Version 1.1.3.1548799037 and does the bug is already fixed?

Currently, we are testing using Samsung Tab S2. What we do is, we download all the checksheet into the tablet, then we disable the internet connection because we dont have network connectivity in our plant.

This method work fine in iOS but not in Samsung tablet. We experienced twice already where the apps say no internet connection and all checksheet disappear from the tablet until we connect back to internet.

Anyway, could you confirmed that the bug is fixed already?

Thanks.

Thanks for reporting this Rick, A fix has been made and it will most likely be in the next version of Mobile Inspections for Android.

Could you let me know which device you have tested on, so I can put it as part of the bug report.

Ah, I have found a bug reported for this problem (3rd party library), It appears samsung devices do not consistently report connectivity. I will report a bug for you.

We are not using that device.

If the device does not have internet access and we try connecting to the handheld server as message is displayed "There is no internet access"..

Do you happen to have a Xaiomi Mi Max 3?

The software should work in an intranet environment, where there is no external internet access, but you must use windows authentication.
