Android app backup performance

Hi everyone!

First of all, I just want to say I really love the idea behind Immich and I’ve been using it for several months now. I have it installed on TrueNAS Scale (latest version available in the TrueNAS App Store) and overall I’m very satisfied with the app — I also fully understand that it’s still in beta.

Unfortunately, right when the folder structure was recently changed, my SSD that stored the apps’ configs died. Because of that, I had to reinstall Immich from scratch and I lost all my previous configuration and archives, without a way to reimport them from the old files. Still, I’m happy with how the project is progressing.

The issue I’m facing is with the Android app. I use two phones: a Samsung Z Fold5 and a Z Flip6, both running the latest Android 15 updates. The app is installed from the Play Store on both devices. On the Fold, the app works great for backups (besides some small freeze bugs) — I managed to back up ~3k photos in about 30 minutes with the app running in the background.

The problem is with the Flip. No matter what I do, the backup is extremely slow. And if I minimize the app or turn off the screen, the backup stops completely. I’ve already tried disabling all battery optimizations for Immich and every possible tweak I could think of, but the issue persists. I had the exact same problem on this phone even before the latest Immich version.

I also tried both proxy and direct connection modes on both phones — same results, fold works, flip don't.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
