Iām running NC 14 with the Android mobile app. I have the Auto upload feature enabled. However, it seems to be highly buggy. It often will not start uploading an image for days, even when Iām on a very reliable WiFi. I have not noticed any discernible pattern to when it will or will not upload an image, but it makes me very nervous that itās missing files entirely at times.
It seems to be a matter of the app not noticing the file exists, as it doesnāt even show up in the Upload tab as āwaiting for WiFiā or anything like that; itās just not there at all.
Whatās odd is that, just now, while poking through the app to verify I was naming pages correctly I opened the Auto upload configuration page. And suddenly it started uploading the last half dozen pictures I took. However, it seems to still be ignoring the 10 I took just before that. Theyāre missing entirely from the upload stream, but do show in the āAuto uploadā tab.
I am very confused at this point, but also very not confident in the auto upload feature. Any suggestions? Iām happy to help debug if someone can guide me through what to report beyond what I have above.
I actually have this same bug with my Pixel XL. I think it may be an Android Pie/Nextcloud compatibility thing. I donāt believe it has to do with NC14. I believe itās the nc android client.
OK. Due to that information, I really do believe this is an issue restricted to Android 9. All of us have Pixels, though I think really itās an issue with the Android 9 API. Pixels just happen to be one of the only phones with 9 on them.
The short answer is no, with the latest work on 3.4.x we moved to compile against Android 9 while that just means that the implementation will work according to Android 9 behavior and not use fallback/pre-Android-9 behavior (hard to explain). This doesnāt mean everything will be working fine on Android 9. With Google/Android further pushing the battery saving mechanism, I suspect more clients to break when it comes to auto upload and available offline files.
Most devs run Android 8.1 devices so this is probably the most tested Android version dev-wiseā¦
Hm, so the working theory is that itās the power-saving functionality that is killing the background upload? That does seem like a reasonable suspect.
Iām a PHP dev, not an Android dev, so I donāt know if thereās any way I could help there. If there is, though, please let us know. The auto-upload is, frankly, the only thing I really use the app for right now so I would love to see it working more reliably.
I have this problem intermittently on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 running Android 6.0.1.
Many months ago when using NC version 13, auto-upload stopped working altogether. I couldnāt get it to work so I upgraded to version 14. That also didnāt work, so I downloaded the ābetaā version app and auto-upload started working again. It is more reliable now, but not perfect. I still occasionally have the issue where new photos are not auto-uploaded. Iāve never been able to see a pattern that identifies when it works and when it doesnāt.
there is/was an issue with samsungs OS (because THEY did something uncommon, implementing a no-standard routine.)
and thatās why I asked if there was a samsung-mobile involved.
there are other threads on the forum talking about the samsung-issue.
Thatās the problem stated in this thread, though the problem I mention is a bit more complicated than that, and has to do with the an inability to properly manage my autoupload folder connections. I am unable to delete old connections, even ones which were created for a folder that no longer exists on the phone, or the server.
I have exactly the same problem, for months now. Posted it in the forum earlier.
I have a LG G4, still running Android 6 (last update about 2 years ago) - so this is definitely not a problem of a brand new android version.
I use Google Photos with auto upload and Nextcloud with auto upload - Google Photos uploads all according to the settings/whenever there is a wifi network, Nextcloud does upload all files I think, but with a quite random delay (maybe some hours later, maybe 2 days later).
That makes it hard to trust in a reliable Nextcloud upload.
I trust the auto-upload now somewhat (that all pics and videos are really uploaded), but the delay blocks some workflows.
e.g. you take a picture of a problem with the phone, and then write a problem report on the pc. You need the picture within a few minutes (to send the report), not half an hour later.
Any suggestions? Iām happy to help debug if someone can guide me through what to report beyond what I have above.
