The cancellation conjecture for Ramanujan-sum correlations

From papers

Let ff be an approximation function, let θ\theta be an inhomogeneous shift, and let ϕ\phi and dd denote Euler's totient and divisor-counting functions, respectively. Let W(f,θ)W(f,\theta) be the corresponding inhomogeneous well-approximable set. The cancellation conjecture.

lim supNn=1Nϕ(n)f(n)/nn=1Nf(n)d(n)=    W(f,θ) has full Lebesgue measure.\limsup_{N\to\infty}\frac{\sum_{n=1}^N\phi(n)f(n)/n}{\sqrt{\sum_{n=1}^N f(n)d(n)}}=\infty\implies W(f,\theta)\text{ has full Lebesgue measure.}

The proposed conclusion would follow from the conjectured cancellation estimate discussed immediately before it, and would improve one theorem while remaining weaker than a question posed earlier in the paper. The source gives no resolution.
