marcv Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I just installed BT Sync on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and the apps on both my iphone 6 and an iphone 6 plus. I wanted to have it backup my camera roll on both phones. Everything linked up ok and seems to work although extremely slow (< 1Mbps on a Wifi AC network with the phones within 5 feet of the high speed router. Normal speedtests on these phones and even right now is over 130mbps on my wifi). So in addition to the speed issue I see on both phones the moment I shut them off (not powered down just the click of the power button to turn screen off) the syncing stops. The peers drop on the desktop for both. The app is open on both phones and is the current active app when I turn the phone off too. Just curious if this is normal. Using the latest version of both desktop and mobile app (just downloaded within the hour). These were all first time installs on all devices.

RomanZ Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 @marcv The speedtests usually do not involve the process of recording data to storage - which is usually a bottleneck for the mobile devices. As for background sync - it is not supported at the moment. Currently the app has to stay displayed to actually transfer data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinabroad Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hey Roman, does this apply to win8.1 tablets as well, or do they sync in the background ? just curious as I am not sure mine is syncing or not in background. Thanks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 @colinabroadI strongly suspect that win8.1 based tablets suspend all the processes when they sleep, so it is very unlikely it will sync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
