This seems to be an F-Droid and OSMand problem, not a RepWifi App
problem. See most recent posts in this thread:
https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/9/topics/13932?r=14086

Please post to this F-Droid issue if you can think of anything worth
adding that isn't already on there:
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/issues/816

From the F-Droid issue:

"We did indeed add some code to try and detect the type of connection,
so that people can select the setting "Only update automatically on
unmetered networks like Wi-Fi". It seems that we have been a bit too
strict though." https://gitlab.com/pserwylo (Peter Serwylo)

Perhaps someone can ask Peter, or find themselves, where in F-Droid's
code they are doing their connection detecting. If anyone finds it,
please post it to this email list or the redmine forum thread above so
we can see if we can create a pull request to fix the problemo.

If you are experiencing the same problem with OSMand, perhaps they
already have an issue already open in their tracker as well. Let us know
if you find anything.

In Solidarity,
Kurtis
