Newly uploaded image has different checksum than local original and so appears twice in Photos tab of Android app #1303

The bug

New photos/images taken with the stock camera app on my new Pixel 7a appear twice in the Photos tab of the Android app after being uploaded/backed up. One of the photos is the local original (AssetState.local) and the other is the remote copy (AssetState.remote). The web app only shows the remote/backed up copy as expected.

The checksum of the local and remote images are not the same according to the image info, so I assume this is why they are not merged (AssetState.merged). This seems similar to issue #2962 but the solution was to wait for android app 1.64.0 to reupload the images, or use the "check for corrupt asset backups" tool but that did nothing ("Did not find any corrupt asset backups!").

For comparison, I've been unable to reproduce this with my old Pixel 3a. On my Pixel 3a every photo I take and upload correctly has AssetState.merged and appears as a single image in the Photos tab/gallery.

I access Immich through a caddy reverse proxy that points to the Immich proxy port.

(And just want to say how impressed I am with Immich. It's amazing what everyone's put together and how helpful you all are with issues! ❤️ )

Reproduction steps

Brand new pixel 7a (Android 13).

1. Take picture with stock camera app (images saved in DCIM/camera).
2. Open Immich app, tap new local photo, tap upload button in top right, tap Upload in confirmation prompt.
3. tap Back, refresh Photos tab
4. Observe that the new image appears twice

Additional information

1.
However, the app does recognize when the images have been uploaded/backed up and later deleted. The backup screen shows:

  • Total 5
  • Backup 5
  • Remainder 0

And when I delete the remote copy (the one with AssetState.remote), the app recognizes the local image is no longer backed up:

  • Total 5
  • Backup 4
  • Remainder 1

So the app is able to tell when the remote copy is deleted and correctly know that the local original is no longer backed up despite the different checksums and images not being merged in the Photos tab.

Some screenshots:

screenshots_1

Then deleting

screenshots_2

(I have no idea why the last visible photo in the gallery screenshots (the one with the cloud+checkmark) is behaving correctly. It seems rarely the issue doesn't happen and the image correctly has AssetState.merged. But I've not been able to consistently reproduce this.)

2.
I've tried to compare the two photos directly for changes/differences. I downloaded the remote copy directly from the Immich server library directory via samba share, and the original copy from my phone via SolidExplorer's FTP feature.

  • Using cmp to compare them shows no output.
  • I converted the images to hex and then used diff as well, which also showed no output.
  • Then I ran md5sum and sha1sum and the hashes for both files were identical

So I am assuming the files are indeed identical. (Or at least they ended up being identical after copying them to my desktop from the server and my phone.)

3.
I also tested images not generated by the camera app and not in the DCIM/camera directory:

  1. Downloading a stock image from the internet.
  2. Move image into a test directory "Internal Memory/Pictures/test".
  3. Add the test directory to the albums/folders that Immich backs up.
  4. Back up/upload the stock/test image
  5. Stock/test image appears twice as well

@Jenjenn commented on GitHub (Sep 7, 2023):

Since yesterday I've:

  • Installed a system update on my Pixel7a
  • Updated Immich app to 1.77.0
  • Updated Immich server to 1.77.0

And the issue seems to not be happening anymore. Will reopen if it starts happening again.
