With the clear session flag set to FALSE, I am missing the published values

Is anyone has a logical explanation why despite I have the clear session flage = false I do not receive the updated published message I am subscribed to while i am not connected to the broker?

With the aorementioned flag set to false I ran my App, And i kept publishing to a topic some values (from the PC to the broker not from the Android device to the broker). And then I unpluged the usb of the Android Device frm the pc, and kept publishing some values again. When I plugged the usb to the pc again, i expected to see the values I recently published to that topic, but I did not receive any.

The topic I am publishing to is exactly the topic i am subscribed to, with QoS = 1.

Solution

In order for messages to be queued for a client that is no longer connected to a broker, these things must be true:

Client must have originally connected with clean session set to false
Client must have subscribed with QoS>0
Messages to that topic must have been published with QoS>0
When the client reconnects it must have the same client id as when it disconnected
When the client reconnects it must have clean session set to false

My bet is that you are failing on either of the latter two points.
