Android Unjoinable Peer

Over the course of my time with this app there have been a few updates but I keep having the same problems. Text messages often go through but images or other files just give an unjoinable peer error. Calling won’t work either.

I’ve tried this with my mom and my friend.

My phone is a Google Pixel 4a (Android 11) with the f-droid version

My friend’s phone is a Samsung Galaxy A20 (Android 10) with the f-droid version

My mom’s phone is a Samsung Galaxy A5 (Android 8) with the Google Play version

My friend and I have Jami set to run in the background. We have the DHT proxy on.

From what I understand, UPnP needs to be enabled on the router in order to work. I’ve been hesitant to enable it because I’ve heard it can be a security risk.

Is there something I can do to make Jami work?

For file transfer, there was a looooot of changes recently and it’s currently in beta.
(Version > 316). Unjoinable peer doesn’t exists anymore, and file transfer are retried automatically if it fails.

No. UPnP helps to work through NAT, but it’s not mandatory
