There are actually some issues in android syncthing tracker about this. my experience: syncthing the protocol and the desktop versions works very solidly the android version used to have an issue with timestamps, since on android you can't (couldn't) (as a non-root user) set mod times. I think, but I'm not 100% sure, that there's now a sidecar cache so that syncthing can store the mod times and have a virtual view where they are as they should be, vs. having them at time of sync. This has been a non-issue for me for a long time now, but including it for completeness. The big problem is the dreaded "run conditions". Syncthing uses both cpu and data, both of which are a problem on a phone. There are multiple modes; one is to sync only when opening the app. The other is to sync always, and then "sync only when charging" (means power applied really) and "sync only on wifi". So you can uncheck those to force it to run, and maybe restart syncthing. It tends to be a bit android rom-specific how well it works. So my advice is to go into syncthing on the phone, and if it tells you "syncthing is configured not run, [exit] or [change settings], that's a clue. If not, you can look at the devices tab and see if it's connected. Also look at the dashboard on your desktop client. https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-android/issues/1193
