SMS won't be synced unless synchronisation cursor is reinitialized on phone manually all the time

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up Nextcloud SMS app on Android and receive SMS

I think it's related to my problem : https://github.com/nextcloud/ocsms/issues/204

Same problem, i have to reinit cursor every time on NextcloudSMS 1.3.4 with Nextcloud 13.0.0 RC2. Are you running nginx ssl proxy for your Nextcloud instance by any chance? It may have started ever since i switched to nginx, but i will have to verify that.

[e-alfred]

No NGINX involved at all, just an Apache 2.4 with PHP 7.0 running on Ubuntu 16.04. And yes, the problem still exists.

a diagnostic with another user shows that FPM configuration have a problem because buffering is not enabled. In my configuration (nginx -> varnish -> apache24 + mod_php72) it works as intended

I have a similar setup, except running NC 13 now. While debugging the api, I noticed that the database request to retrieve all sms ids always returned an empty list. It turned out, that although the sms_mailbox column was declared as integer, the result returned it as string and the subsequent sanity check of the mailbox names failed, because it expected an integer as array key. They are stored with the wrong sms_mailbox now, but at least they are synced.

What's the exact config that needs to be changed? I'm using the nextcloud docker image

NC13.0.2 on Apache (this is my only Apache server left) and issue occurs as described.

Same phone as @e-alfred btw ☺

I had the same problem. SMS not syncing unless manually triggered in dev-options.

I solved it by paying for the app and installing the gplay edition. I don't think there is a mayor difference, however I do think there is a difference in how synchronisation is triggered on Google Android if a app installed via Gplay or Fdroid.
