Latest version is not playing nice on my phone. By the way, my Android Kitkat device is un-rooted - if that matters.
Here’s some specific observations:
(1) Still hangs when I try to shutdown the app.
(2) Import config seems to be missing a command / button. I was able to navigate to the “Backups” folder containing cert.pem, config.xml, and key.pem … but I couldn’t find a way to confirm the import process. Am I missing something?
(3) Some progress in the “Add Folder” function. I see the new “BROWSE” button, but when I execute it I get “No apps can perform this function” - and the procedure doesn’t permit the browsing of folders.
Hi, this is a big improvement over the original app. However I still encountered a few issues.
The keyboard always stayed open once selected unless you press the forward (confirm) button on the keyboard, making it hard to deselect and making adding folders and other dialogues difficult to complete.
The idents for each machine are almost but not quite entirely unlike the same ones on the web interface.
I found the default behavior of unloading the app every time it lost focus felt like a bug and almost made me give up on syncthing entirely until I discovered the always run button and realised what it was doing.
The “browse” button for selecting folders doesn’t load the selection into the textbox. However you can just type it.
I pretty quickly ran into a inotify error when running a folder with a fair number of small files although still considerably less than 8000, maybe 2000. I deleted a lot of these as they were an offline download of a website and disabled versioning on the phone which seemed to help.
I was testing with version 0.2.78 on Android 5.1.1 on a Nexus 5.
Oh, and one other thing. The silk app seems to be stuck at between about 60% and 75% syncing when viewed from the other clients. But it looks like all the files are on the device.
Hmm, I think Syncthing itself needs more support to stop folders from syncing. It’s either shutting down or consuming all GPRS/3G bandwidth. I choose the former;)
I think my surprise in having the app have to reconnect every time I switched away from the app and went back to it was because I would expect it to run for at least some period of time once you opened it, not forcing you to leave the app open and with continuous focus. Perhaps sensible options would be to open the app for a set period of time once opened or to stay open until it has fully synced or manually closed.
