#31 Recurring events are not displayed

[Mark Oliver Scholz]

Recurring events which are repeating e.g. every two or four weeks are not displayed. Even though the log-file shows that they are retreiving from the calendar by ComingNext. Look in the attached log-file for "Gelbe Tonne", "Blaue Tonne" or "Biotonne".

The calendar is syncing with Google Calendar via GoogaSync.

log-file

You are experiencing a new firmware bug introduced with Symbian Belle. On Belle, when you sync dayevents/anniversaries which are repeated, the internal API will always only give the widget the initial date of the event, never the actual date of the current instance of that event.

In your case, take a look at this line in your log:

Log: event: id=http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/events/_68o30e9h64p3ic9n64r34cpe64r3ad1mdhn7ir1jf1qmgc35ep06grrichiisujnc5n7kqb7dkn68p8,Type=DayEvent,CalendarName=C:calendar,Summary=Gelber Sack,StartTime=Mittwoch, 10 Februar, 2010 00:00:00,EndTime=Donnerstag, 11 Februar, 2010 00:00:00,

Take a closer look at the StartTime and EndTime values. They show a date in 2010 which is obviously already passed and thereby not displayed by the widget. Note that the correct date of that event instance is not shown anywhere. This means that the widget has no chance to figure out what the correct date for that event should be.

This problem did not exist on previous Symban Anna devices. I've tested an N8 with Anna and Belle firmware, only the belle one showed this problem.

The bad news is that I have to idea how to work around this at the moment :-(

I've submitted an official bug report to Nokia here:

I've noticed this bug with Symbian Anna too. New with Belle is, that the Nokia calendar-widget isn't displaying these events too. With Anna the old Nokia calendar-widget was showing them. This was my workaround.

Unfortunately i haven't a log-file from Anna ...
