Initializing sync stalled new version
-
@LeoBeyene
I can't tell you why it's working in my situation with latest v6.6.x.
What I do is following:- Unistalling v6.7.x, but keeping the browser-data.
- Installing v6.6.x and log in to my account to start the sync, which then works.
- Updating to latest v6.7.x and waiting till sync stops again with network errors.
Most times this works, but at rare times I need to do the above process twice, because sync stops working immediately after installing v6.7.x.
At home, I have no problems with Vivaldi-Sync, only at work.

@twoleeland Some packet loss can appear, but traceroute is ok in such way.

@twoleeland Using 6.7 data and downgrading to 6.6 can cause some strange issues, Downgrades can cause unfixable issues in browser profiles.
️Downgrade is not supported and advised by Vivaldi team. -

The sync stopped working after some time with network error the first time after updating to the first official v6.7.x from v6.6.x. And as I wrote in previous post, before installing v6.6.x, I tried different things like log out from sync and so on. But after log out, I log in again and it hangs at initializing sync.
They should increase the count of retry logic and/or the programmed time delays when network errors occur, before they mark it as "unrecoverable network error". Maybe it helps.

Ugh... That excactly what I did... Downgrading to 6.6 and 6.5 before knowing that it may cause unrecoverable errors...
Maybe I should try deleting my sync data and stop using Vivaldi for a while...

Hi, you can delete your profile folder and use sync to get your important data back.
I bet sync work in a new profile.
Or try this first in a second profile. -
@mib2berlin I deleted my remote sync data. I don't know if sync is permanently broken for me or it need fixing...

Hm, I sync 12 Vivaldi installs with 3 different sync accounts, no issues since years.
If sync were broken the forum would explode of threads about.I know some user have issues but this can be anything like a broken profile, extensions, third party security tools and so forth.
One user report sync does not work with his ISP, if he connect over a cell phone hotspot it work, really strange.Cheers, mib

I got a new phone (Pixel 8a) so when I opened Vivaldi, I logged in and expected it to sync with my old phone and my laptop and desktop but on all devices it just says "Initialising sync..." and does nothing.
I changed my Vivaldi password and re-logged in on all devices but no change. Just sitting there doing nothing.
- How do I brute-force it to sync?
- Can it show sync progress?
All devices are connected to the network and the connection is working.
