Android IP Webcam makes the phone frozen

Hello Friends, I was very happy when this was added in 040.0 release and started to put to use in my HA setup. It is an All-one-installer on a PI3 and a old Samsung Galaxy phone.

Since I had already used IP webcam, it was easy to link it up with HA. And it worked Great.

However, after some time, the phone is frozen and I had to reboot it to get it back to work.

I tested it out without HA activtion and phone does not freeze even after few days of continuous working as earlier before linking to HA. Obviously, I doubt the interaction of HA with the IP Webcam is making the phone freeze.

I can provide more details, as may be needed to help me overcome this issue.

Any help or sharing of similar experience is most welcome.

My case
the app was working ok, so I traveled to my parents city, and after 2 days it stopped working. When I came back, I checked it … the phone was with screen on (it was not earlier), and after clicking the back button, the screen became dark with no access to the phone. The only way was rebooting it.
