The last 4 days i have problem syncing ankidroid. I am stuck on a loop where i must do a full sync everytime i press the sync button. I choose to download from the internet ( i use my pc with anki for studying so i cannot choose to upload from ankidroid). After the syncing completes, i am left with a non sync ankidroid and if i sync again, it says check media database. After i check media database, it says “database shrunk by X MB” ( the amount doesnt change). After that it forces me to do a full sync again. And the same is repeated. I havent made any updates and i was using ankidroid just fine before. My pc version of anki works and syncs fine. I also tried deleting ankidroid, and redownloading everything, but there was no difference. Any help is appreciated, thanks ---

Hey, I’m having the exact same problem, on two different devices. I got the advice to contact the developers of Ankidroid. See my thread with Dae’s reply here: [Syncing issue with Ankidroid - #2 by dae](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/syncing-issue-with-ankidroid/18853/2) Please write to me if you manage to solve this! ---

I’ve started a thread over at the AnkiDroid forum at Github: [[Bug] Requiering "Check database" on every sync · Issue #10755 · ankidroid/Anki-Android · GitHub](https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/10755) Someone there (I believe one of the developers, mikehardy) offered to take a look at my deck to see if something is wrong, maybe you could see if he could do the same for you. ---

Indeed I am one of the current maintainers of AnkiDroid. I think we have all the data we need right now to troubleshoot, the next constraint will be _time_ to troubleshoot, but I’ll put a call out in our dev discord channel to see if anyone has a moment to take a look. The report you filed @Calle looks great, hopefully we can find the issue ---

Following Dae suggestion solved the issue permanently. Thank you very much ---
