814993 - Android Sync doesn't sync as often as it should

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Android Sync, defect)

Description

Just noticed this again, so I thought I'd file it.

My phone reported that it synced at 2:15pm today. A page that I visited at 10pm last night wasn't yet visible in my desktop history. Forcing a sync on the phone causes it to appear after desktop's next sync.

That means that we're skipping engines, or the sync as a whole, for at least 12 hours. That ain't right.

I haven't grabbed a log yet, but this should be fairly easy to verify; I think I've seen it before when I haven't had time to file a bug.

We're backing off between syncs for a whole day. I have two clients syncing, so it should be minutes not hours.

That ain't right.

I fixed this with my scheduling rewrite.
