   **For android**, this seems to be a problem with the `Connectivitymanager.getActiveNetworkInfo()` with certain conditions being met on the device, one of which is the app going into the background.
   
   Haven't experimented this myself, but this is what an [stackoverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/45231746/4685664) suggests.
   
   Good news is that this API is deprecated, and there is supposedly a better way of obtaining connection info, using the [NetworkCallback](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback.html) API.
   
   Bad news is, this API is only available as of API level 21 (Android 5.0) , so it will require a major update and will have to wait until android 4.4 is dropped completely. Android 4.4 will likely be dropped in cordova-android 9, but that is still work-in-progress. If the NetworkCallback API is indeed more consistent and reliable, it won't make it into master until we are ready to prepare a major release, and that release will only happen sometime after cordova-android 9 is release (assuming cordova-android 9 indeed drops support for android 4.4 (API level 19 & 20). PRs are still welcome, even if they need to wait for a major update cycle.
   
   Not experienced enough with iOS to comment on that side of this issue.
