  2. Sync On Android Is Stalled (Maybe Can't Detect File Changes?)

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I apologize for bumping an old post, I just recently found the time. To answer the questions and suggestions in order:

     

     


    Do their size change after shrinking? If yes, try restarting Sync

     

     

    Nope, they stay the same.

     


    Another thing to try: on PC in Command Prompt navigate to the folder with these jpg's and run command "copy /b * +,," (without quotes). This will 'touch' all your files and update the 'modified time' parameter. Don't do it if you need "modified" time unchanged!!!.

     

     

    I need to keep the timestamps unchanged for other procedures.

     

    And finally, aren't those third-party apps still preventing Sync from accessing files anyhow?

     

     

    Nope, they are fully moveable. I can even move them around manually from the file explorer.

     

    If the problem remains, write to syncapp@bittorrent.com, send logs from *both* - PC and phone (for phone you need to send a new feedback and agree to attach logs). In the text of feedback, please put the link to this topic.

     

     

    This I did just now. Sent from both the Windows desktop program and the Android app. Thank you very much for the quick response.

     

     

     

    I recently found another bug that I'm sure is a tad related.

     

    It's about Sync not finishing syncing a file and the file gets corrupted on all platforms where the file is synced. I hope my log files can reveal the cause for these two issues.

    Hi. This is my second post to the forum. I like the app on my phone very much because it allows me to backup up automatically (on a scheduled basis thanks to Llama) most of my media files and a few data files.

     

    Recently, I set up the app and desktop client to backup data file folders from a couple apps on my phone to my computer. These folders hold many JPG's. When the files arrive on my computer I shrink the images with third party programs. The timestamps are not changed, nor the EXIF if available. Then when I expect Sync to sync the images back to my phone it doesn't.

     

    The Sync desktop client says that the folders are synced, but when I click on the peers, it shows a backlog of 200+ files waiting to send back to the phone, all JPG's. As for the app, the folders say "Receiving" but they're not, it just stays stalled without receiving the changed JPG's. Oddly tho, it shows transfer rates of 5-100 Bytes/s continuously never stopping, always between that range. In the end, none of the shrunk JPG's are being synced.
