[Opensync-users] Partial success on Nokia 6630

[Conrad W. <con...@we...>]

Hi list!

Yeppie! After applying the wbxml2-patch I finally managed to sync my
Nokia 6630 to evolution via USB. I'm using libopensync-0.18,
libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.18 and a fairly recent svn version of
the syncml-obex-client.

I can create contacts and appointments in evolution as well as on the
phone and they'll be properly synchronized. It also works to change an
entry on the phone or in evolution and synchronize. However, I've still
some issues with umlauts, alarms and recurrences.

If I add a contact or an appointment with German umlauts (=C3=A4, =C3=B6, =
=C3=BC, ...)
in evolution, after synchronization the umlauts appear kind of scrambled
on the phone. If I add umlauts on the phone, they are transfered
correctly to evolution. I figure that it has something to do with
evolution's export functions, because the same problem occurs when I
export my contacts from evolution as vcards. Is this a known problem and
is there anything I can do about it?

Second problem appears when I create an appointment with an alarm set in
evolution. The sync will fail on that entry and synchronization will
only finish successfully again after removing the alarm or the whole
entry from evolution. On the other hand, if I create an appointment with
alarm on the phone, the sync is successful and the appointment appears
in evolution. However the alarm set on the phone ist not present in
evolution. Any ideas? This would be quite important for me to work.

Third issue is a similar thing with recurrences. If I create an
appointment with recurrence, only the "master"-appointment is synced.
Its recurrences do not appear in the calendar they are synced to, but
only in the original one. Wouldn't be too serious if this will not work,
because in evolution recurrences are a pain anyway.

If traces for a specific issue are needed, please let me know. By the
way, excellent work!

Conrad.
