Android Client very slow / don't work

hi!

the android client 3.0.18 is very slow. if i connect the server, i must wait more than 5 minutes if the connection etablished. file upload or download is not possibile, the “waiting wheel” rotates infinity. i’ve tested that with 3 different android mobile devices - wlan or mobile data does not matter. server version is 13.0.12 (docker) but also don’t work with 12.x version.

any hint?

That version is working fine for me. It might help to try from a browser on your phone. Log in seafile website, upload, and download some files and see if it’s also slow.

you are a lucky guy. web upload with tested mobile phones is very fast. but the client dont work… i found an old galaxy s10 and try it out - but same issue. server connect take along 10 minutes, download or upload is not possible.

Are there any errors in the server’s logs while that connection is happening?

I wish I could give some useful advice, but I can’t think of any reason that it would take that long without just failing completely.

i’ve checked all logfiles @ /opt/seafile-data/seafile/logs but no suspicions entrys. the only entry is :

/opt/seafile/seafile-server-13.0.12/seahub/thirdpart/django/db/backends/utils.py:98: RuntimeWarning: Accessing the database during app initialization is discouraged. To fix this warning, avoid executing queries in AppConfig.ready() or when your app modules are imported.
warnings.warn(self.APPS_NOT_READY_WARNING_MSG, category=RuntimeWarning)

and a info like this:

[2025-11-17 09:46:14] [INFO] Set language code to en for user: mario@abc.de

so i try to set the phone language from german to english, but without succes. the login procedure takes over 10 minutes and open a libary takes 10 minutes, too.
