  1. You're absolutely right; didn't see that text at the bottom. The desktop upgrade didn't clear the sync log, so it might be pretty long, but should include the time of the error. Should I upload the logs again?
  2. Just upgraded to Windows 4.103 (Android app v 1.4.56.0) and unfortunately it still has the same problem. In this case, I only edited the desktop file (didn't touch anything on the phone), and when the desktop app synced to my phone, the file reverted. I saw the balloon popup saying syncing was starting, and then, as my editor reloads the file if it changes on the disk, I saw the editor revert to an older version. Also, please relay to the help desk that the Android app doesn't have debug logs. When I submitted this originally, the help desk asked me to upload Android debug logs, which, AFAIK, isn't an option.
  3. Was this able to be replicated? I gave a pretty detailed account of how to reproduce and already mailed in my logs. It's a critical bug, as It wrote over user data. As a result, I had to stop using BT sync altogether.
  4. Just to clarify, I mean the system times on my phone and my desktop machine differ by 2 mins. I didn't actually see the timestamp of the files, but I assume they were also 2 min off.
  5. I came across this bug and was able to reproduce it easily, debug logs mailed. My setup: Win7 BTSync 1.4.83 Beta, Android (moto x) app 1.4.50.0. Here's the scenario: Started with a new file on desktop. Waited until all changes mirrored successfully on phone. -> ok. Made edit on phone. Waited until all changes mirrored successfully on desktop -> ok. Made new edit on desktop. Changes overwritten by out-of-date phone version! One possible clue: The time stamps on my phone and computer differ, with the phone ahead by about 2 minutes. If device time-stamps were being used to judge the "newer" file, than the faulty behavior makes sense: The phone still has the "newer" file, because I made the desktop edit in the duration where desktop time was still behind the timestamp of the phone edit. Keep in mind asking the user to have perfect time synchrony between devices is almost impossible. In my case, Windows is setup to automatically synchronize with the 'time.windows.com' server, and similarly, my phone is also setup to use the network provided time. If there's confusion about the newer version of a file, it should be flagged and manually dealt with. Silently overwriting user information is never the correct answer. BTW, bug aside, I quite like the program. Easy to setup, nice UI (Better than owncloud, which I also set up and chose BTSync over) Wish we could choose folder pairs on the android app, instead of being restricted to one download folder, but I understand Android restrictions may play a part there (if not, give us a choice!)
