I have been trying to reproduce this but I'm not able to. Could it be specific to your device, the Poco F6 Pro or perhaps I'm missing a particular way to trigger it. See how I'm reproducing it below.

[r0d0dendr0n]

Exactly what I'm doing. Except when I click the photo in conversation (here: notes to self), I get the image enlarging animation, but then I see a quick freeze and then I'm back to the conversations list.

I used signal last week, no troubles. I flashed again the same rom I use (lineageos) and imported a backup in signal. After that I can't enlarge images. (I was aiming to see if it fixes android auto... and it did :-) )

Any system setting to check?

How do I even properly read upload_timestamp {"low":1108052217,"high":404,"unsigned":true}? Is it 4041108052217ms since 1900 or something?

[r0d0dendr0n]

Got it.
{"low":2028649476,"high":404,"unsigned":true} = 404*2^32+2028649476 = 1737195437060 = Sat Jan 18 2025 10:17:17.060 UTC

Now the question is why does the app fail on this.

[eyedol]

Could be something with your device? I thought it could be from restoring from a backup chat could have caused something but I couldn't reproduce when I tried to restore from a backup chat. funky

[r0d0dendr0n]

I used signal on this phone & rom before but I didn't restore a backup before.

[r0d0dendr0n]

I fixed the issue. What I did:

• I removed all data on the mobile signal app,
• logged on fresh by entering my pin (keeping my keys),
• exported a backup,
• copied the backup to my computer,
• used signalbackup-tool to merge my desktop data with mobile backup,
• again removed all data on mobile app,
• imported with the backup from my computer.

Now everything works. It was a weird adventure. Thank you for your time. If there are any more questions, I am more than happy to help.

Glad to hear you sorted things out and everything is working now...
