Signal forgets preferences after restart #11640
Comments
So upgraded the android 9 and the issue went away; so looks like something with android version 7 is a miss. Sadly, android 7 is the last on that works best for the note2. Hope that helps a little in shedding some more information on the issue ... |
Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward? This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. |
Yeah upgrading from android 7 to android 9+ made it go away, so this would need to be reproduced on android 7 ... |

I suppose for android 7 this is probably still relevant ... |
Bug description
After restarting signal (force-kill, reboot, crash), signal looses/forgets preferences (dark theme, pin entry, messages) but remembers account details, identity etc.
Even sent messages are gone. Strangely, some initial messages (first ones sent after setup) do appear.
On a synced signal desktop all messages do 'stay'.
This started to happen after upgrading to v5.23.8, but even downgrading to v5.20.3 kept the same behavior.
Clearing all signal data (effectively a re-install) full re-install of the app, and even a full factory reset (including storage) did not resolve the issue.
Steps to reproduce
** Actual result. **
theme is white again, pin entry is asked again, message history is gone
Expected result:
signal remembers everything
