We are using Android client with Orbot to securely upload video to our server (Spring boot with Nginx), when user select the secure mode. When we are using normal mode the video get uploaded but in secure mode it uploaded the video but showing "Error while uploading". This only happens in case of orbot.

It looks like TorService#killAllDaemons() is taking its name a bit too literally. If Orbot had been running as root it would have succeeded in killing Briar's Tor process.

Many android apps that are not designed to work with tor frequently fail connections while transparent proxying is enabled. For example firefox and chromium often say "cannot create secure connection" or "site could not be loaded". Most times, the bug disappears after 2-3 times refreshing the page, but ofter the sites are not loaded correctly then.
Other apps cannot connect to the internet at all. (Eg. NasaPic)
Im on rooted (Superuser) CopperheadOS (hardened Android based on AOSP 6.0.1 marshmallow) on a Nexus 5.
I installed Orbot from your FDroid-repo and granted it root for transparent proxy (proxy all applications).
Do you need more information? Im not sure, whether its an Issue caused by CopperheadOS or by Orbot. I remember using Orbot on CM12 without these issues.

The surrounding code is because syncthing allows you to set normal/low/none for notification type. We could add that later, but for now, keeping the orbot notification out of the active notification list would be helpful. (Users don't need it to bump other notifications off their lock screen.)

One is a Nexus 9 running stock Android 5.0.2, and the other is a Nexus 6P running the nightly build of CyanogenMod 13 (based on Android 6.0.1), built 12/13/2015. Orbot 15.0.1-RC-3-PIE (Tor 0.2.6.10) is installed from F-Droid on both devices.
When I start Orbot on either of these devices, I get the same exception - something about not being able to find tor.mp3. Here's the log, which is identical on both devices:
```

I suspect what's happening is that both of these devices have newer architectures and for some reason tor.mp3 is getting put in some architecture-specific location. But I'm really not enough of an expert to tell for sure.

Right before I was stil running the stock ROM (KitKat 4.4.2) with root access and it worked perfect.
Now since I changed the ROM, could never connect Orbot. Tried with different versions unsuccessfully. I also asked for different bridge types (Scramblesuit, obfs3, obfs4, etc) but none of the worked.
Right now I'm running 15.0.1-RC-2-PIE (Tor 0.2.6.10) and this is what I get when I enable Bridge Relays:

Question is, does it have anything to do with the ROM, the kernel, or nothing at all? I've been using Orbot for 3 years already and never got this kind of stuck.
Thank you so much for your help.
