Description
orbot 14.0.0-BETA-3 has gone back to hanging Android 4.4.2 on unrooted Samsung Galaxy S4 with WiFi enabled.
This time, the hangs seem to be softer, in that they sometimes allow a Restart menu selection from a normal power button press, rather than always requiring a long power button press to force a disorderly shutdown.
Also, with WiFi enabled, BETA-3 only allows one trip to Settings | WiFi in Android 4.4.2. Any second or subsequent attempt to access the Settings menu results in Android soft hangs or minutes long waits for a sluggish Settings menu to appear.
14.0.0-BETA-3 also claims to aready be installed, when installing over a pre-existing 14.0.0-BETA-2a.
It would be nice if orbot ALPHAs and BETAa supported downgrading to a previous verion without first requiring a full orbot uninstall. I always restart Android after upgrading/downgrading orbot.
I thought the devs were finally onto something with BETA-2a, but BETA-3 seems to have gone sideways.
Presently rolled back to orbot 14.0.0-BETA-2a. Still can't use Android for long if/when orbot and WiFi are enabled.
