Would a few Android / Joplin users please let me know if they see the same behavior ?
My Android phone is more than once in a while offline when I start Joplin. This results in a blank screen for about one whole minute - a very, very, very long time if all you want to do is add a few words to one note. I assume Joplin is trying to get online BEFORE showing itself on screen. But why can it not just be happily offline when the phone is offline ? Interestingly enough, the desktop version of Joplin doesn't show this behavior.
So please let me know what you get ...
(Android 8, Joplin 2.10.8 which is the latest, I doubt the Android exact version matters).
