The AI found why my phone photos stopped syncing and cleared 794 files

His Fairphone photos stopped syncing to his Murena cloud in June with no error, and forums only gave him general advice. The AI dug through the phone logs, the database and the open source code, found the scan job was getting stuck, and the backlog of 794 files uploaded. His cloud use went from 13.2 GB to 14.9 GB and new photos now upload in seconds.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. The AI reads the database dump and device logs and the eDrive source code
  2. Wrong ideas are tested and ruled out
  3. With the app in the foreground and the phone charging, the scan finishes in about 12 minutes
  4. The upload run clears the backlog and a new photo uploads in 4 seconds

Why it’s worth knowing

Months of forum advice got nowhere. The AI read the phone's own logs and code, spotted that a stopped scan never resets, and got 794 stuck files moving in one afternoon.
