[SailfishDevel] Long term TCP connection

Of course, one can't expect a stable TCP connection on a mobile device upon
regular use. You are right, the app has to deal with this cases and
reconnect in case of a network error.

But my testing environment was using wifi only. And I expected the TCP
connection to last longer then just 30 minutes and then collaps.

One other thing:
What do I need to implement to allow an app to be configured to run as a
background service? Like WhatsApp in Settings -> Apps -> WhatsApp -> 'Allow
start of background services on device turn on'?

And what is the consequence of these setting? Is the app just started
'headless' on device boot up?
