Thank you, that saves me time searching for dups. You'll have to forgive me, in 30 years I have only ever seen one bug fixed in response to a report I filed online.

But hope springs eternal: <https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/16599>.

The stuck messages are still there, in a newly upgraded Android Element 1.1.0, same as in the last two upgrades to 1.0.14 marked (2021-01-30) and 1.0.17 (2021-02-14). Other people report the same: <https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/issues/2494>

Android Element 1.1.0 seems to spam the notifications log with "Listening for events", "parcel size: 992", a bit less often than previous versions. I see it now at 22:16, 22:17, 22:18, 22:20, 22:35, 22:43, 22:49, 22:51, 22:53, 22:56, 23:00, 23:21. Better than 2x/minute.

I can imagine that the slowness (endless spinner when scrolling back in a room transcript) might be a consequence of delays in my homeserver -- privacytools.io -- but the app offers no hint as to where the stall is. Does my homeserver have anything to do with slowness of rooms ? I also don't see any way to check the version of Synapse running on the homeserver. Should I be able to find that?

An example of a very slow scrollback room is #_oftc_#mobian:matrix.org.
