Open vyPal opened 2 weeks ago
I believe I have an explanation for this, when I have both mobile data and wifi turned on, if my phone connects to a wifi network that requires some additional login or conformation via a captive portal (or something similar), the apps see the status as being connected to wifi, which is true, but since some login is required, the phone still actually uses mobile data.
I have the same issue here

I think it has the same cause, but it's not the exact same issue, in what you are referencing it continues in the backup even after leaving the wifi, in my case it starts the backup when I connect to a wifi, even when the wifi doesn't actually have internet access, and the phone is actually using data
I still have to test this, but I think the problem is the outdated version of the connectivity_plus library
This just happened to me and needless to say, I'm pretty angry about it. I realised when I got a message from my carrier saying I had used an extra $30 of data in a morning.
This is very dangerous, and while I don't want to slam the dev team too hard as overall it's an amazing FOSS project, this is a serious issue that could cost someone a lot of money. The app must be pulled until this is rectified otherwise someone is going to seriously burnt.
I'm still trying to see what exactly this is caused by, my suspicions are either the outdated version of the connectivity_plus library that is being used, or something to do with how androidx.work (what handles background workers) classifies networks.
Anyhow, for now I'd recommend users to disable mobile data access for immich through their phone's settings app.
I hope someone can find a fix soon, I am not one of the devs of this project, but I have spent some time looking around trying to find the exact cause. No luck yet
@g0d-m0nky hey man, sorry about that. Which phone are you using Android or iOS?

Hi, I'm on Android, Samsung S23U.
The bug
Hello, I was notified today by my phone, that some app was using a lot of mobile data in the background. When I checked, it said that immich had used around 1,5gb of mobile data in the background (and another 50mb in the foreground, but that was intentional). I checked to make sure, but I have the background backup set to only on wifi. While this luckily isn't much of an issue for me, I feel like this could be more problematic for users that don't have large data plans.

Additional information
If I have some time alter today, I might go through the client code and try to find the issue myself, I have some flutter experience, so I might be able to fix it
