Lumiya Disconnecting.

[LiableDuke]

I have been using Lumiya for quite some time now and havent had any issues but over the past couple of days i have been getting disconnected every 5 minutes or so and I'm not sure why, I was hoping that someone could help me figure it out.

lumiya no longer exists.
Theres a new mobile viewer called Speedlight by Smartbots.

But it does still exist. You can still download and use it. It's just no longer getting updates

And that's probably what's wrong with it. It is no longer maintained and its breaking.

No, it doesn't. Not in any truly meaningful way anyway. Any location you *can* download it from is either suspect (such as third party app stores like aptoide) or simply out of date. Badly out of date in fact.

Lumiya's days were numbered the moment all development ceased and the Dev vanished. Much as I hate to say it, it is beyond time to move on/find another method for doing what you want to do, on the go.

time for a helpful answer, from another lumiya user.

 

where were you when you got disconnected? wifi or mobile data?

if you're on a busy sim, and using mobile data you'll crash repeatedly as the bandwidth gets overloaded.

 

check the permissions for lumiya to make sure you haven't hit something by mistake.  ensure it ignores battery optimisation.

 

lumiya setting, login and connection.  make sure that "auto reconnect" and "keep wifi on" are ticked.

 

how often do you clear lumiya's cache? if not that often, clear it.

 

failing that, go into the app list on your phone /tablet and clear the app data to reset all the settings back to normal.

not entirely accurate.

 

if all you are wanting to use it for is chatting, it's still ideal.  graphics rendering is woefully out of date, granted.

That's nice.

It is only a major enough update away from being unusable.

Stop trying to encourage users to grab it from unofficial sources (which may or may not have altered it), stop trying to pretend it is still a viable option. use it while it still works sure but ... Move. On.

If you do not, the day when it does cease to function is going to hit quite hard.

Please remember to check your facts are accurate before posting, it usually helps.

 

I haven't encouraged anyone to download it from questionable sources, it is still a viable option for those who want to use it to chat only.
