Having the same problem here running Android 14 (GrapheneOS) on a Pixel 7. Apps that have updates available seem to appear in the updates tab even though an error is presented however.

Can you try switching to a mirror of FDroid?

I am unable to reproduce this. And was this also the case in previous releases?

[Merennor]

@Iamlooker on 0.5.1 everything was fine until March 2024. After - unknown error. BUT after updating to the latest version the same problem present.
Switching to this mirror fixed official F-Droid repo, but others like IzzyOnDroid still not working.

Can any one try and get logs? I am unable to reproduce this issue, and cannot help without logs

This seems to have been fixed on my device by updating Droid-ify and then next time I checked for updates (multiple days later) it seems to have been fixed.

My Droid-ify got uninstalled it appears. I'll check, get back after. :-) Ivan Pavlović, prof. sri, 24. tra 2024. 18:11 msinfo32 ***@***.***> je napisao:

I got this problem too

But F-Droid repo syncs, aka no errors there

I think this issue related to isp, some provider blocks izzy and fdroid repo and adding DoH support would fix this issue. The reason why is because i also facing the same problem here and connecting to WARP/1.1.1.1 seem to fix the issue which that's why im suggesting of adding DoH support.

@tsssu Seems like you're correct in regards to an ISP issue - however I'm unsure if adding DoH will solve this? Are you using the 1.1.1.1 app? - I believe that's a VPN?

I've noticed recently this problem has been happening again for myself, and have noticed that navigating to some of the repositories itself has shown an error PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR. I've been having some problems with my current ISP related to this error as well. However, on a second/third attempt on reloading the page it seems successful for every attempt after within a specified time period. (

I believe this is related to how my ISP uses CG-NAT (and not very well). It seems that maybe potentially adding a re-try by default (does this already exist?) or a configurable re-try in the settings could solve this problem for users with intermittent internet issues. - it seems like some users behind CG-NAT may have an IP address which changes often (e.g. every 30 seconds in worst cases) which causes this problem?

Yeah, 1.1.1.1 app is using VPN service. I tried to use Private DNS feature on android and then switching between Adguard and cloudflare, but the problem no longer exists on my device even without enabling Private DNS. So i cannot making sure it would resolve this issues sorry, but i saw some app implemented DoH just in case if something wrong in some nations.

I would agree to that if you want to plan adding re-try button in the notification because so far i dont think there is any.
