$firebase promise resolve in phonegap app - firebase

Question

i am stuck with this for few days now.
I have route with resolve, which looks something like this:
.when('/list/',{
controller : 'list',
templateUrl : 'template/list.stache',
resolve : {
list : function($q,$firebase){
var d = $q.defer(),
ref = new Firebase(_config.url+'/list/');
ref.once('value', function(s){
if(s.val() == null){
d.reject('Object not found');
}
d.resolve($firebase(ref));
});
return d.promise;
}
}
})
It works great in any browser, for some reason it fails in Android app ( using phonegap ), it loads data correctly, but when you try to save it ( using $save() ), data updates locally but fails to do so remotely.
Tested few theories, tried to call $firebase within controller, using something like:
$scope.fb = $firebase(new Firebase(_config.url+'/list/'))
$scope.fb.$on('loaded', function(d){
$scope.fb[$scope.fb.$getIndex()[0]].test = 'AAAAAA!'
$scope.fb.$save()
})
The above worked as should, so i assume it has something to do with promises.
Would anyone have any ideas?
EDIT ---
Still struggling to figure out the issue, but was able to narrow it down to resolve:
.when('/list/',{
controller : function(){
new Firebase('https://XXX.firebaseio.com/test/').push('Hey!');
},
templateUrl : 'template/list.stache',
resolve : {
list : function($q,$firebase){
var d = $q.defer(),
ref = new Firebase(_config.url+'/list/');
ref.once('value', function(s){
if(s.val() == null){
d.reject('Object not found');
}
d.resolve($firebase(ref));
});
return d.promise;
}
}
})
It fails. But :
.when('/list/',{
controller : function(){
new Firebase('https://XXX.firebaseio.com/test/').push('Hey!');
},
templateUrl : 'template/list.stache'
})
Works as expected.
Note that both approaches works fine in a browser ( tested on firefox and chrome ). It only fails when compiled to android app using phonegap.
Any ideas are appreciated.

I had the same thing. The connection is lost.
Use the function Firebase.goOffline(); and Firebase.goOnline();. This allows you to manually control the client connection.
Example:
var usersRef = new Firebase('https://samplechat.firebaseio-demo.com/users');
Firebase.goOffline(); // All Firebase instances are disconnected
Firebase.goOnline(); // All Firebase instances automatically reconnect
