Monero.com Background sync not working - Wallet unable to sync

Cake Wallet
1

Hi, I have an issue where my Monero.com wallet never completes a sync, the background sync appears to quickly stall one the app loses focus.
I’m restoring an old wallet using a memonic seed so I have a few block to sync.

I have tried leaving the phone to sync over night but virtually no progress was made

  • Background sync enabled (aggressive mode)
  • Runs Inside secondary profile
  • THe user profile has tor enabled using a VPN slot
  • Unrestricted battery usage is enabled
  • Notifications for the app is enabled
  • I’ve tried several different Monero nodes but it didn’t help

App version 5.0.0
Phone runs GrapheneOS

GOS specific app settings

  • Hardened memory allocator Enabled
  • native code debugging Disabled
  • Webview JIT Disabled
  • Dynamic code loading via memory Disabled
  • Dynmaic code loading via storage Disabled

Any suggestions, please?

Hi. While the wallet is unlocked and you’re actively using it, what message does it show in the top bar, main, balance screen? X blocks remaining, connected, attempting to sync? Have you tried syncing over regular VPN or raw clearnet connection yet?

Blocks remaining, the number of blocks slowly decreases, while app is active on screen orbot seem to show that bandwidth is used in burts with peak usage of two megabyte/s.

No I haven’t tried VPN or clearnet, I could try a VPN I suppose.

I went back to my previous wallet Monerujo and under the same conditions mentioned in the first post it managed to sync the blockchain within approximately an hour, cake couldn’t manage this in eight hours.
