Uploads paused unintendedly, after launching upload via gallery share
Opened this issue · 4 comments
Not every timebut it happened to me several times:
- In Google Pixel's stock Photos gallery app, select 25 pictures (might reproduce with less, not sure).
- Share to Commons app, complete the Upload Wizard, submit.
- Because this is share intent, you are sent back to the gallery app.
- Do something else with your phone for 20 minutes, like reading emails, opening other apps, but do not open the Commons app.
- After this interlude, open the Commons app.
- Problem: Zero picture have been uploaded. Upload seems paused. See screencast below.

I am 100% sure I never tapped "pause" since the last time I reinstalled the app 7 days ago. Yesterday I successfully uploaded a 40-pictures set via the same gallery app's share button, but I had opened the Commons app shortly after launching the upload.
Workaround: Tap the "unpause" button. Upload starts smoothly.
Same situation with a single upload, but this time I can't unpause it, in this screecast I tapped the play button several times:

May I ask if this issue happens in other device?
I tried for Samsung and Sony phone, different emulators from Android 9 - 15, but I cannot reproduce the issue.
And, may I ask if you turn on the battery saver feature of Android OS under Setting -> Battery?
It may stop process in background which may pause the upload process
@u7665680 I only tried on Pixel 9. Battery saver disabled. "Allow background usage" enabled. Thanks for checking! 🙂
I have not noticed this issue in a while, maybe since the Uploads screen is getting shown upon initiating any upload.
