If the contract was suspended, guess you're in a loss. Otherwise, you can negotiate with the client on a logical amount of hours.
It's a bit weird you didn't realize the hourly vs fixed time option since you had to know the amount you were working for beforehand, but guess it's a learning step, next time make sure to check out.
And you're correct, you can't track time on mobile, so next time make sure to do only fixed amount jobs, or arrange manual addition of hours, or simply don't use a phone

Hi everyone, last week I received an offer to translate an annual report from Arabic to English. I didn't realize, because I'm new to the Upwork community, that the contract is hourly paid. I completed the project using my mobile phone and not a PC
I have been a translator for a looooooooooooong time and I have no idea how you would do a proper translation on a phone.
You probably won't get paid, it is always better to figure out how things work and then jump in.
Had you worked this contract according to the rules you'd likely have been paid.
