Daily contacts backup didn't work at 3.12.0 rc1

Hi,

looks like that daily contacts backup didn't work at 3.12.0 rc1.
Manually backup works fine, daily backup not.

Thanks for checking, confirmation and fixing.

As you on RC1, you should be able to see settings -> Engineering Test Mode?
Can you then go to background jobs and see if "periodic_contacts_backup" is scheduled?

Hi, I got rC1 from google play but there is no Engineering testing mode.
I only have the logs there. And there I cannot find any string like "periodic".

Is this a hidden menu like dev mode in google apps?
Like tap 5 times at version number or so?

@tobiasKaminsky - if this version is published in Google Play, entire dev category is disabled in Settings activity and ETM won't be availabe.

Like tap 5 times at version number or so?

Unfortuantely it's compile-time option, but maybe we should implement some sort of secret cheat code?

@tobiasKaminsky Running ETM from adb shell could be an option. This is not possible atm.

[Siggi0904]

I can confirm that since 3.12 rc1 these contact backup didn't work.
If there is any option that I con do to fix that problem, let me know.

[Siggi0904]

Hi, still not working with RC2.
Thanks for helping or fixing the app.

[ezaquarii]

@tobiasKaminsky is 1c74303 in RC2?

[AndyScherzinger]

@ezaquarii according to rc-3.12.0-02...stable-3.12 it should be in RC2, yes (backport PR is #6079)

[Siggi0904]

Reinstalled the app comletely, same issue.

Second point that nc deletes sync folder at deinstalling android app.
Quite not nice.

[ezaquarii]

I can confirm the issue. I checked the code and it looks like the period is set to 86400000 (24h in milliseconds).

The problem is that the input expects time in minutes, so the backup period is 1440000 hours, or ~164 years.

Even NASA makes such mistakes, so no heated blames please.
