It seems to be impossible to change the configured server address. I wanted to switch from direct server address/port to a SRV resource record but it seems that I would have to delete the whole app data and start over.

This app fails in even basic functionality. How can it be that the only way to add a friend is to manually type in their email? It's also buggy, requiring a close/reopen cycle before the contacts list will update - and occasionally messages will display the wrong nickname which can be highly confusing.

Using 3x Samsung devices and Openfire XMPP server on LAN. Astra set to allow battery use even during sleep etc... all clients regularly time out then can't see each other. Openfire is not running a firewall. I don't think this client is reliable and there seems no way to change timeout or keepalive values anywhere to check what's going on. Calls connect but no sound or anything.
