Hi there! I understand your EatWise app stopped opening last week despite multiple reload attempts. Let me help you get it up and running again.

To start, could you tell me if you’ve tried any of the following already?
- Force closing the app completely
- Restarting your Android device
- Checking your internet connection
- Clearing the app cache or data from settings

Now, back to the app opening issue on your Android 10 device with WebKit browser: since cache clearing, reinstalling, restarts, and internet connection checks have been done, let's try checking a couple more things:

1. Check for system updates: Sometimes, if your Android OS or web system webview components are out of date, apps that rely on them can fail. Go to Settings > System > Advanced > System update and see if any updates are available.

2. Check app permissions: Make sure EatWise has the permissions it needs to run. Go to Settings > Apps > EatWise > Permissions and ensure permissions like Storage, Camera, or whatever is relevant are enabled.

3. Try opening the app offline: Disable Wi-Fi and mobile data temporarily, then try launching the app. Does it open at all? This can help us see if the issue is network-related on a deeper level.

4. Try creating a new user profile on your device: Sometimes corrupt user profiles can cause app issues. Create a new user profile via Settings > System > Multiple users, switch to it, install EatWise fresh, and test if it opens.

5. Check for conflicting apps or security software: Some antivirus or cleaning apps can mistakenly block app components. If you have any such apps, try temporarily disabling them.

If none of these steps solve the problem, you might want to reach out directly to EatWise support at [email protected] for more advanced diagnostics, as there could be a server-side or compatibility issue with your specific device build.

Let me know how it goes or if you want me to guide you through any of those steps! Are you satisfied with this info about the app and troubleshooting so far?

Turning off WiFi and Internet access allowed it to work

Ah, that’s a helpful clue! Since turning off Wi-Fi makes the EatWise app work, it suggests there might be some issue specifically with the Wi-Fi network or its interaction with the app.

Let's try these targeted steps on your Android 10 device to fix the Wi-Fi connectivity problem for EatWise:

1. Forget and Reconnect to the Wi-Fi Network:
- Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi
- Tap on your connected Wi-Fi network, then choose Forget.
- Reconnect by selecting the network again and entering the password.

2. Switch the Wi-Fi MAC Address to Device MAC (or vice versa):
Sometimes randomized MACs cause app connectivity issues.
- Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi
- Tap your connected network > Privacy
- Change from "Randomized MAC" to "Use device MAC" or the other way around and test the app again.

3. Change DNS Settings on Wi-Fi:
Incorrect or problematic DNS servers can block app access.
- Go to Wi-Fi network settings > Advanced
- Set DNS 1 to 8.8.8.8 and DNS 2 to 8.8.4.4 (Google’s public DNS)
- Save and reconnect.

4. Restart Your Router:
A router glitch can sometimes cause selective app failures on Wi-Fi. Power off your router for about 30 seconds, then turn it back on.

5. Check if Any Security or Firewall Features on the Router Are Blocking the App:
If you have parental controls, security suites, or firewall settings on your router, they might block app traffic. Try temporarily disabling these features to test.

6. Test Wi-Fi on Another Network:
Try connecting your device to a different Wi-Fi network (such as a friend’s or public Wi-Fi) and see if the EatWise app opens correctly there. This helps confirm if it’s the specific Wi-Fi or the device.

If none of these work, it may be worth contacting your internet provider for Wi-Fi network diagnostics or trying mobile data when you need the app urgently.

Would you like me to walk you through any of these steps? Also, how’s your Wi-Fi network setup at home—any known restrictions or special configurations?

I actually don't have WiFi. Just phone network Internet

Thanks for clarifying that you don’t have Wi-Fi and rely on your phone’s mobile network. That helps narrow things down!

Since the EatWise app works when you turn off Wi-Fi (which you don’t have) and rely on your mobile network, it sounds like the app functions normally with mobile data. Generally, EatWise is designed to work with either Wi-Fi or cellular data, so it should run fine using your phone network.

If the app opens only when Wi-Fi is off, that could mean that some setting or cached network info was interfering when Wi-Fi was enabled—even if it’s not connected. Having Wi-Fi on but not connected sometimes causes apps to try and use a network path that doesn’t respond well.

A few suggestions to keep your EatWise app working smoothly on mobile data:

1. Disable Wi-Fi entirely if you don’t have a Wi-Fi network: Since leaving it on with no connection can cause network conflicts, turn it off when using EatWise on mobile data.
2. Make sure your mobile data is stable and has good signal.
3. Check for any data saver or battery optimization settings: Sometimes Android’s data saver or aggressive power-saving settings restrict background or internet access for apps. Go to Settings > Apps > EatWise > Data usage and confirm unrestricted network access.
4. Restart the device occasionally to clear any network cache or conflicts.
5. Update the EatWise app when possible, so you get the latest fixes and compatibility improvements.

If the problem returns, feel free to let me know!

Are you satisfied with this explanation and advice for using EatWise over your phone’s network?

It worked when I turned off the phone network Internet, and stopped working when I turned the Internet back on

Thanks for the update. So the EatWise app stops working whenever you turn on your phone’s mobile Internet, but it works when the Internet is off. That’s an unusual behavior indicating the app might be trying to access the network but something about your mobile data connection or its settings is preventing it from functioning properly.

Here are some tailored steps to try on your Android 10 device to fix this mobile data-related issue:

1. Disable VPN or Proxy, if any:
Sometimes VPNs or proxy settings interfere with app connections. If you have any VPN or proxy active on your device, try turning them off and then open the EatWise app.

2. Check Data Usage Restrictions:
- Go to Settings > Apps > EatWise > Data usage.
- Ensure that background data is allowed and that the app is not restricted from using mobile data.

3. Turn Off Data Saver Mode:
- Go to Settings > Network & internet > Data Saver and make sure it is off, or that EatWise is allowed as an exception.

4. Reset Network Settings:
This resets Wi-Fi, mobile data, and Bluetooth settings but keeps your personal data.
- Go to Settings > System > Advanced > Reset options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth.
- Confirm the reset and then try opening the app again with the mobile Internet on.

5. Check for Carrier Restrictions or APN Settings:
Sometimes outdated or incorrect Access Point Names (APN) settings can cause app connectivity problems. You can check or reset APN via:
- Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > Advanced > Access Point Names and reset to default.

6. Clear DNS Cache on Your Device:
Although Android doesn’t have a direct DNS cache clear option, toggling airplane mode on for 30 seconds and then off can help refresh network settings.

7. Test Mobile Data Connectivity in Other Apps:
Verify if other apps have internet access with mobile data enabled. If multiple apps fail, the problem might be with your cellular network or plan.

If none of the above help, there’s a chance it could be an issue with the app version or a temporary server-side problem. You might want to:

- Update the app to the latest version from the Play Store.
- Contact EatWise support at [email protected] with details.

Would you like me to guide you step-by-step through any of these fixes? Also, do you use a VPN or have any data saver settings enabled currently?

Are you satisfied with this approach so far?
