Description

Which app is your issue for

Document Scanner

Version

v1.13.0 Build 75

What platform are you using?

Android

OS Version

GrapheneOS Latest

What happened?

Added sync settings for paperless ngx. It successfully uploaded the first document to paperless, but every document/sync after that throws a timeout_error. Nothing sticks out in the app logs.

Relevant log output
NginxPM logs: (it makes a successful request here. No errors in paperless)
[07/May/2026:16:40:40 +0000] - 200 200 - GET https paperless.domain.com "/api/documents/?page_size=100&fields=id,title,modified,added,original_file_name" [Client 174.205.33.123] [Length 5024] [Gzip -] [Sent-to files-paperless] "okhttp/4.12.0" "-"

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Paperless-ngx sync in Document Scanner v1.13.0 on Android and compare the successful first upload with later syncs. Check the app's sync request handling alongside the Nginx log for the /api/documents/ request; done means subsequent documents sync without timeout_error and the behavior is confirmed against the reported setup.
