fwiw,

Once and only once I had a dialog box pop-up that said something to the effect of..

'The wi-fi you are connected to does not have internet access, would you like to stay connected?"

Immediately upon choosing "yes" in that dialog, RemoteXY connected and worked just fine.

So it is possible via android, but I only got that dialog once. hope it helps

Yes. The latest version of Android manipulates traffic so that the user has the Internet.
Since the ESP has no Internet access, all traffic is directed to the mobile Internet. Including requests from RemoteXY.
Therefore, requests from RemoteXY do not reach the goal, they go to the Internet through mobile data.
We are looking for a way to get around this.

I'm assuming its a phone issue, just wondering if anyone has a solution. The only way i can connect to a esp8266 via wi-fi, is to disable mobile data. I didn't have to do this the last time I used an esp8266. Does anyone have any insight to this?
