Yes, this is a known problem. Opensync does not support conversion of
encodings at the moment (but this is a big TODO on our list). so if the
phone does not use the same encoding as evo2 (and it probably doesnt)
then the umlaute will be scrambled. There is not much you can do about
this (besides fixing this problem in opensync :)

Can you show me an event from evo2 and one from the phone which do not
work correctly (you can extract them from the trace files if necessary)?

in which direction does this problem appear? does your phone support
recurrences?
