Not getting updates?

[jehoshua7]

It seems I haven’t got any updates via F-Droid since March. I never use Wifi on this phone, details:

Moto G32
Android version 15
CalyxOS version 6.8.21

so in the F-Droid app, updates are set “Over data”, and even though it is et to Automatically install updates, the next setting states 4 March as the earliest next update. When I press updates in F-Droid app it states apps are up to date.

Taking a look at one app Fairemail the version is 1.2262 yet FairEmail | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository states version 1.2289 . Version 1.2262 came out in Jan 31st, see Release 1.2262 Barsboldia * · M66B/FairEmail · GitHub

Can I somehow force on update from F-Droid ? Have looked for update logs.

Over data is set all the way to the right to Always?

Yes, correct. I’ve since looked at F-Droid; seems there are two types, a basic one and another. Not sure how to check which one I’m using.

Re the ‘over data’, I use 4G not wifi, however hardly ever have the 4G on. That said it has been on for an hour or so, and no updates ? i did try a reboot.

Re the ‘over data’

No, in F-Droid, Settings, Updates, Over data slider is all the way to the right, to Always?

Update interval is set to 1h? or?

Yeah, we’ve seen this happen on devices that kill apps

now, go to the Latest tab, and do a pull-to-refresh gesture so you force a Manual update

Update all the apps, as needed, F-Droid included

then test for a couple of days (it takes like 5 days for a new index to be published so see if you got any updates in 7-10 days)

Oh wow, thanks, now there are 28 updates. Thanks for your help.

You seem using full version. “Nearby” icon is the clue. I prefer basic version, I don’t need to share apps to nearby services.

[jehoshua7]

This is still happening, no updates at all. I have to do the “pull-to_refresh” gesture to force the update.

[Licaon_Kter]

No idea on what’s broken.

Calyx should be fine (this issue aside: A letter to the CalyxOS community I mean) and it is fine on other Pixel devices I’ve seen around.

[jehoshua7]

I’m not sure how often the app checks for updates ? I don’t use wifi, and the 4G/data is only used intermittently, when I go to check for emails. So, if the ‘window’ is smaller than the frequency that f-droid checks, then I won’t get updates will I ?

It is as you set it, trigger it manually if auto does not work for your usecase

[jehoshua7]

A friend informed me of a possible workaround ..

Yes you just need to clear the app’s storage

Tap & hold F-Droid app
Go to app details (i)
Go to storage and cache.
Tap Clear Storage.

This should reset the app

Have done so.
