Messages lost in transit, devices out of sync #6925
Comments
|
what do you mean by 'lost in transit'? that they were never sent to the room? or were undecryptable for other people in the room? what sort of sync problems were you seeing between your own devices? undecryptable messages or missing messages or old history? What server was this on? |
|
@ara4n Lost in transit = were never sent to the room. Sync problem = order of messages turned around: I send message A and B. The receiver devices got B and then A. On my side the desktop app or Android app showed not the same but one of them A and B and the other one B and A. I always used the disroot.org server with my account. The receivers were either on that one, matrix.org or other synapse servers. In addition, upload of media in general was very slow, and sometimes did not upload at all. But I got the feeling that you have the performance problems alread on your issue list. Also calling did not work well on Android and Desktop, I think I got it working only once, at other times it did not establish the call to the other participant. Probably also related to performance issues. |

I am encountering the same problem with messages not getting to the other side between two accounts on matrix.org. (Android clients) I don't have both clients to fiddle with right now but the other party called me (pstn because riot didn't work) and swears that they never received a few of my messages from yesterday.

fwiw, I've also found that matrix.org can occasionally delay messages sent in a 1:1 room between a matrix.org user and me on my own HS, waiting up to a week to send the message, or just not sending it until my synapse is restarted. |
|
Can anyone think of a good way to test this? I think the issue may have disappeared. |
|
I don't know if this is the same issue, but I've been having messages not show up randomly recently until I fully close element (desktop) and reopen it again. Could it be related? My console just gives a bunch of these, which don't seem related (rageshake.js)

Definitely not the same issue @yousefamar |

Description
It happened to me that several messages were lost in transit using the flagship app Riot. Also, I sometimes encountered sync problems between devices.
Steps to reproduce
I cannot describe steps to reproduce, basically wanna just share my experience. Matthew, an admin from the MatrixHQ chat room proposed to at least open an issue about it here.
I just can say that I tried out different use cases:
Version information
Riot on Desktop on Debian 9, and Android (LineageOS). All latest versions.
