Android: Upon "Sync Failed", can't go back

I entered my paperless-ngx information, used an API, and clicked login. The next screen is this "Syncing Data" which failed. The only option is to "retry", but since one of the settings was wrong apparently, retry doesn't work. I cannot return to the sign-in screen to adjust my inputs, pushing the "back" button doesn't go anywhere. I would have expected a "back" or "change settings" or something to allow me to correct my inputs instead of being stuck on this sync failed screen.

Hi Wewe,

Re: Android: Upon "Sync Failed", can't go back

The error is caused by the lack of the correct custom headers. But the "Sync Failed" error is not what I'm reporting.  I'm reporting that there is no way to go back from this error screen, and there should be a way to go back to correct the inputs.

The app is working for me after I put in the right inputs. I'm just wanting you to be aware that not being able to go back from this "Sync Failed" screen makes it impossible to correct those inputs.
