Action Performed:

2. Open the app

Expected Result:

Shouldn't call ping and reconnectApp several times

Actual Result:

on a really bad wifi network, where it concludes it's online but for some reason can't contact the server, it just hammers Ping and ReconnectApp back to back, filling the network queue with tons of parallel unfinished commands.

Workaround:

unknown
