When I connect from my react-native app to ricoh theta z1 wifi via access point connection using react-native-wifi-reanimated my app is loosing mobile internet access.
I can switch tabs to chrome / facebook and android is using mobile internet correctly, but it doesn’t work inside my app. Altough I believe chrome and facebook works, because android gives them special priviliges to use something called dual-channel network acceleration which we are not able to use.
According to this reddit post
https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/14armo2/use_both_wifi_mobile_data_at_the_same_time/
using both mobile data and wifi is not possible.
I believe I could use client mode connection to connect to ricoh theta, but in my specific use case we cannot guarantee users will always have wifi routers available plus I don’t think clients will be able to configure client mode connection themself - it’s too much to ask of them.
