Timeout error after takeback

On the Android App:
During a game I accepted an opponent takeback. The pieces were reset, and on my device the game showed the current move as theirs. Their clock ran down to zero, but the result was a timeout loss for me. This has happened in two different games so far.
@FormerConformer , this may be because your internet loses connection with lichess during their turn. In this case, it will look like it is still their turn even though in actuality, it is yours. Of course you have no way of knowing, and you can do nothing but get lucky or not get lucky.

I have had this happen many times, and it is very frustrating.
