[iamroof]

After 24 hours of idle time, if I try to access network type, plugin throwing as none even though mobile is connected to network.

What are the exact steps to reproduce this? Start with cordova create and include all necessary steps to build the app - or upload a minimal example to Github and describe the steps to reproduce this. Thank you.

I can also confirmed that.
Phone Model - Xiao Mi Mix 2.

@iamroof Was your issue also with Android?
@NeoLSN What Android version is running on that device?

What plugin version?
What Cordova CLI and Cordova platform version?
What code are you running?

[NeoLSN]

@janpio Android 8.0 / 2.0.1 / 8.0.0 / ionic-angular

@janpio Hi, This issue is only with android. Below is the dev environment

Ionic v3.20.0
Angular v5.2.9
Cordova Android v6.4.0
cordova-plugin-network-information v2.0.1

Phone Model : Nexus 5x - Android v7, Lenovo K4 Note - Android 6

This issue occurs in almost all tested mobiles.

isNetworkAvailable(): boolean{
        return (this.network.type === "none") ? false : true;
    }

Above sample snipet is used to check online/offline.

Reproduce Steps:

Consider application has a button which will consume rest services. Network will be checked before hitting rest services.

1. Open Application
2. Click the button. Network.type gives wifi.
3. Lock your mobile.
4. Unlock your mobile after 24 hours. You will be in same page of application
5. Click the button again. It gives Network.type as "none" (Checked browser for online connectivity)

This issue will be resolved after killing and reopening the application

Nice reproduction steps @iamroof - that should be enough for a developer to debug this.

Same here and I've also problem in this case :

1. Connect to WiFi A + 4G (navigator.connection.type : wifi)
2. Move enough to lost WiFi A and phone switch to 4G (navigator.connection.type : 4g)
3. Come back to auto reconnect to WiFi A + 4G (navigator.connection.type : none)

I'm having the same issue with version 2.0.1. I use an app the next morning and it says no network although i have WIFI.
I haven't been able to reproduce it with say airplane mode on/off either. I'm running 7.1.1 on a Sony Xperia E6883 dual sim model.
Is there any way to give this thing a kick to get it to recheck as a workaround?

[philliphartin]

I am also having this issue on iOS, but for me, I just have to simply flick on airplane mode on and off for the network.type to always return NONE

[janpio]

Create a new issue please @pjhartin as this seems to be a totally different issue (iOS instead of Android) than this one. Otherwise your problem will get lost.

Is there any alternative solution for this particular issue?? It seems like important

[anaaChacon]

the solution that it poses @PieterVanPoyer has solved the problem for me pm android, but in them there is iOS no solution, at the moment I am satisfied.

[BurkusCat]

Still seeing the issue with @PieterVanPoyer 's forked version. From my experience, it has been happening closer to the 36 hour mark.
