New issue 424 by ionescu....@gmail.com: Disconnect on move to background
except on first setup of connection
http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/issues/detail?id=424

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a NEW connection to an arbitary server not used/saved before.
2. establish the connection / login etc.
3. switch to home screen (the connection is kept)
4. switch to connectbot and disconnect the active connection
5. reconnect to that connection
6. switch to homescreen

now you get the vibration bell and the symbol in the statusbar of the
connection disapears. a further check shows the connection has been
canceled.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the connection should be persistent

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?
1. ConnectBot-git-2010-12-18_00-56-32.apk
2. current market version (sorry, can't tell what version it is. where
exactly in the menu is it to be find?)

What type of system are you trying to connect to?
ubuntu 10.10

If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a",
and any other relevant information on the host?
$TERM is xterm-color (i changed it, but same behaviour with default
settings!)

Linux htpc 2.6.38-rc3-htpc01 #1 SMP Wed Feb 2 16:19:51 CET 2011 x86_64
GNU/Linux
it's selfcompiled kernel, but here again, same behaviour with ubuntus
default kernel

Please provide any additional information below.
summary in words:
it cannot keep connections when i move connectbot into background. this
works only one time when i first time set up a connection. sometimes it
helps to delete the connection entry and than start again. but this does
not work reliable.

i have no taskmanager installed or similar, at least none that i know of.

here a logout put with help of quickinfo (log for connectbot)

I also get the same behaviour on my eee pad, even after the upgrade to
ICS...

This seems to be occurring when you simply switch tasks for a moment on
Jelly Bean with Nexus 7. It closes my connection the moment I change to ANY
other view.

Also in ICS 4.0.4 (Galaxy Nexus I9250), pressing the home button causes
disconnection, and the connectbot application terminates.

Confirm, there is no background running support

I see this problem under Android 4.3. This is a show-stopper, as i need the
port forwarding to run while i switch to a browser. How is such a critical
bug two years old and not fixed?

I still see this problem with 1.7.1 and Android 2.3.6 on a Samsung Galaxy
Ace,
but you could circumvent it by returning to the first menu of the program
with
"return" button (furthermost to the right on this phone) and then pressing
the
middle button / home button - only on this case the application is not
closed down,
apparently. Application otherwise works excellently for tunneing with
Android VNC Viewer.

The solution in my case was to uninstall VX ConnectBot. Having both
installed seemed to cause a problem for Android and neither of them was
able to stay running on background.
