Originally created by @gardiol on GitHub (Jan 22, 2024).

The bug

Installed android app from Play Store.
Connected to local immich server.
Waited until timeline is visible.
Disabled battery optimization for immich app (A13).

The two issues described below are, i think, strictly correlated somehow.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Gentoo Linux

Version of Immich Server

v1.93.3

Version of Immich Mobile App

v1.93.3.2 build 119

Platform with the issue

  • Server
  • Web
  • Mobile

Your docker-compose.yml content

version: "3.8"

Reproduction steps

1. open immich app
2. tap backup icon (top right)
3. select folders to include in backup
4. exit from dialog
5. start upload ("start upload" -> change in "cancel")
6. switch to another app OR lock screen
7. switch back to immich app OR unlock screen
8. backup is stopped: "start backup" button is back ("cancel" is gone)
9. need to start backup again
...

Similar correlated issue:
1. open immich app
2. tap backup icon (top right)
3. select folders to include in backup
4. exit from dialog
5. close immich app
6. reopen immich app
7. there are no folder in backup selection.
8. go back to backup dialog, select folders
9. now, without any selection, all previously selected folders are selected.
10. You can backup again

Additional information

Also seems that automatic backups do not work. This is probably also a consequence of losing backup folders after app is closed.
Again, battery optimization is disabled (LineageOS 20.0, based on A13)

Not sure about the second issue but the first one is working as expected. You are triggering the foreground backup. This will be killed off as soon as you close the app. If you are trying to ingest many photos it's recommended to leave the app open while the initial backup is running.

Background backup will take place at the mercy of the OS.

Ah, i see... it was not clear. So the second issue is the real issue here.

I experience the same issue (the second one, where you cannot select folders).

I tried to wait really long with the app in foreground after the folder has been selected. At least it worked once. I am currently unable to add another folder. It will be shown for like a minute, but the total amount of photos doesn’t change. Then, it suddenly disappears, even with the app in foreground.

I guess it has something to do with the amount of images in the folders, as the main folder has 17.000 photos in it

Not really my issue here, in my case sync folders are always "forgot" until i reopen the select page, no need to select them again and they load pretty fast (not so many photos in them tough)

Is there any update here? Same issue on Google Pixel 7. Backup album selection keeps getting lost.

@infraninja it is fixed and will be available in the next release, the current workaround is to not remove all items from the album so that it get deselected
