Disconnectign from ES after importing fpl or when making one within 5 mins

Device: Samsung Tab A8
Operating system: Android 14

Context: I have asked this question before but college hit me like a isekai truck and i couldnt reply in 7 days.

So, I’ve noticed for the last few attempts ive tried to fly that i get disconnected from the server around a minute after I import the Simbrief Fpl. This seems to only affect the Tablet. When i fly with my phone it had no problem and i was able to continue.

I dont know why, let alone how to find the cause.
I thought the community might have some ideas.

ive tried the following in accordance with the previous suggestion to find the cause

That sounds frustrating. You could try a few things to narrow down the cause:

  1. Clear app cache on your tablet (in Infinite Flight → Settings → General → Clear Cache) and restart the device.
  2. Check your internet connection — sometimes switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data (or vice versa) helps.
  3. Make sure your tablet date & time are set automatically — a mismatch can cause server disconnects.
  4. Try importing the SimBrief FPL manually (by copy-pasting the route instead of using the direct import) to see if the issue repeats.
  5. Reinstall Infinite Flight if the issue persists — but only after backing up your settings or replays.
  1. I have cleared app cache
  2. Internet connection is good ( not bad but not great).
  3. Checked the date and time, its the same
  4. Ive tried this one as well. By manaully adding stars and sids. the issue still persists
  5. This is a weird one. I reinstalled the app and it seemed to work fine, importing fpls for about 2 flights. The 3rd one when i joined the group flight from LAX-DXB, Disconnected me everytime i copied the group leaders fpl. I then tried switching networks, and even tried it on my phone which surprisngly also disconnected from the server.

Personnally i dont think a busy airport is influencing this as my first flight was to EGLL which had 300 inbounds at that time.

Would love to get a second second opinion on this.
couldnt find another topic simillar to this in the last month, hence i posted again

When you import flight plans, is it always for long-hauls like Los Angeles → Dubai? If it is, I wonder if there could be some weird waypoint/SID/STAR that for whatever reason SimBrief puts in that Infinite Flight really doesn’t like triggering a crash. That’s just a speculative idea though.

Do you have another device (like a phone) you can try it on to see if it affects multiple devices, or determine that it’s just limited to your tablet?

its a mix of both, i used to import all sorts of flight times a month ago before the problem arose. During the first incident i was importing a short haul. furthermore, in the 2 flights i could do they were from EGAC-EGLL and VABB-VOGO, both around an hour

As stated in the post i have 2 devices (a samsung tab A8 and a samsung s25 ultra). i have tried on both and both returned the same problem. I think its important to note, that before i switched phones my realme didnt have this problem ( around a month ago)

Hello, are you using SimBrief for these or another third party application/website?

Im using the official Simbrief

Have you already tried restarting your router? It could be that your WiFi is struggling to connect to the server itself.
