Klink - working in Lollipop, not as well in Marshmallow

[Matthew James]

So here's an interesting situation. I have a Nexus 6. Whenever I load a rom with any version of Lollipop, Klink works beautifully. When I load a Marshmallow rom, though, some sites stop loading. As an example, I can still access www.msn.com and www.reddit.com with no issue, but Google and Facebook stop loading properly. Any ideas, anyone? Is there any other information I could supply that would assist in figuring this out? Is anyone else having a similar problem?

Hi, Matthew.

I've just tested Google and Facebook with a Nexus device on stock Android 6.0, and things seem to function properly.

Are you seeing this behavior with a stock marshmallow rom?

Yep, I've tried it on stock and a couple of different Marshmallow roms as well.

Other info that might help: First, I'm on T-Mobile. Second, and I should have mentioned this initially, it seems that some of those sites work well for perhaps a day or two after I flash a rom, and then it starts behaving strangely. At that point, I can try to adjust the settings on the rom and that sometimes does the trick, but sometimes it does not. It's very strange.

Also, I just switched to an LG V10 a few days ago, so perhaps this won't be a problem if/when the V10 upgrades to Marshmallow. Right now, Klink is working great on the V10 (with Lollipop), and if nobody else is having issues like that, I'm hopeful I won't either.

It's very odd how things degrade, especially if your restart the app in between.  Klink's doesn't persist any state aside from its app settings, so starting up a connection is basically the same as giving it a clean slate.

Moreover, it's also strange how only some sites are affected, since Klink treats everything the same.  Normally, random connectivity issues are due to a flaky USB connection.  Your cable is probably fine, as it appears to work fine with your other phone.  You might want to see if there's any dust or grime built up in the charging port on your Nexus, as that could lead to a poor connection.

Very odd... I don't really have any other ideas, as I can't recall anyone else having a similar issue.  It's usually the case that things work fine or that a poor USB connection/wifi enabled on PC leads to no connection at all!
