P Group: Forum Members Posts: 29, Visits: 209	It appears that a security update has broken Sky Demon on the most prolific Android tablet that people use, the Samsung S2 8.0! This is on Android 7.0 at the max. Those with lower versions have also reported that their Sky Demon is no longer talking to the Sky Demon server. Is there anything that can be done about this, at least for Android 7.0? I've had a look at the tablet security settings for this particular tablet and it appears you can manually load a certificate. Would this be something which could be applied as a workaround? If not, would it be possible to roll back the certificates until a more permanent solution can be found?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 27, Visits: 57	In what respect does it "not work"? My Nexus 7 2013 with Android 6.0.1 and SD 4.1.2.0 seems fine this morning. Perhaps this is because I had to manually load a root certficate about a year ago when one of the certificate authorities shut down. I thought this was also to keep SD happy but I may have got that mixed up. I can't recall the process to do that but Google was my Friend. I'm sure there are more geekie people here who will know immediately if that is indeed the answer.

It will not connect to the Skydemon server, meaning no map update, no cloud access, and, if you happen to log out or reinstall, you will not be able to log in. It falsely gives the impression that you have no internet connection at all. Edited 6 hours ago by Jack

My Nexus has no problems with that and, looking at Tim's reposnse on FF, it does seem it's the certificate issue and he may be able to fix it. If not I'll try to recall what I did!
