Video compression indicator does not disappear

[SW-9000]

Description:
A video gets compressed before sending.
During that time, an hourglass indicator in the notification bar is shown and a progress bar displays the status of the compression.
After the video is sucessfully compressed, the hourglass indicator and progress bar (at 100%) stay visible forever (until reboot or killing of Conversations).

Issue might be specific to GrapheneOS ?! (haven't noticed that on stock Android phones...)

System:
Conversations 2.11.0+free: Pixel 5 / GrapheneOS / Android 13

Hint:
The issue exists at least since Conversations v2.10.10, maybe earlier, and is still present in v2.11.0

Do try with a server that has http_upload too.

Since Android 10 or 11 the notification will linger a bit more, but maybe when JET fails it's not dismissed.

Just created an test account on conversations.im, but the problem is the same.
The video gets compressed and send, but the hourglass / progressbar persists.
BTW, the progressbar notification cannot be swiped away...

[Licaon_Kter]

Try to get some logs from adb then.

This is a known bug. Recent Android versions have some weird rate limiting in the notifications that essentially cause the 'clear notification' event to be rate limited.

This makes progress style notifications basically impossible (despite the corresponding classes not being deprecated or anything)

To properly fix this we would need to introduce a way to signal progress that's not in the notification.

As a work around I think you can toggle (deactive/active) your account.

Standard Samsung A32 with Android 13, same problem. I also had the problems on previous devices. It makes sending videos very uncomfortable, because every time I have to force-kill the whole Conversations app in system settings to make the notification disappear.

Other apps don't have problems with updating and clearing the progress, so I think it's not an Android bug.

Is there some other information that I can provide?

Samsung A52s with Android 13, i've got the same issue exactly like rfc2822 describes.

You can set it as "silent" so it does not appear in the status bar at least. :(
