Why I don't see new posts in a Timeline? AndStatus is not syncing anymore #295
Comments
This appears to be the most relevant existing issue for the problem I'm experiencing, but if it's misplaced please let me know. I'm seeing issues with synchronizing on a Combined timeline where it doesn't appear to update the list. However, if I open the side menu, select the current account (eg, Quitter.is) then pick a different account (eg, Pump.io), then the list immediately updates and renumbers with often a large number of posts above the top of the currently visible list. So, it seems as though in this particular case, there has already been background syncing of the individual timelines but there's a missing step that exposes/triggers updates to the Combined timeline. I'm currently using 31.03 as built by F-Droid, and have noticed this pattern over the last few f-droid releases (at least since 30.00 if not farther back). |
@keverets I agree with your observations: sometimes AndStatus doesn't "refresh" a Timeline, when new messages have been downloaded to the local cache in the background. Usually AndStatus does update a Timeline on loading new messages, but sometimes it intentionally ignores such events: this is done in order to avoid endless refresh and low responsiveness of the application. Obviously I need to improve this Timeline refreshing logic, I created the separate ticket for that: #440 |
In AndStatus v.36 Fixed (at least partially) a problem, related to Doze mode on some devices, when automatic background syncing doesn't occur for a long time. Despite Android specifications, I noticed that e.g. my new Lenovo tablet doesn't wake up for a "maintenance window" and Android system's initiated background syncing could never occur. So additional timer introduced to check for missed sync events and initiate syncing, if necessary. |
We receive many similar questions, and this is why I decided to start this thread to collect all advices on how to check, diagnose and fix this.
Some tips on what to do when your timeline is not synced:
Maybe you turned that Android sync off? Go to Android system Settings -> Accounts and Sync (or something like this...) and check if sync is turned on for "AndStatus" accounts. There you will also see, when last sync was done successfully for each account you added in AndStatus.
Each account may have its own syncing frequency, so if the Default syncing frequency is OK, you may go to AndStatus settings -> Manage Accounts -> select an account
