Re: HOWTO: Syncevolution with N900
 

For me the synchronization for Contacts works mostly fine but some of the contacts get duplicates (not only when synchronizing but also when connected to Google Talk). I think it's related to having multiple phone/email entries and I remembered to read something related to that but now I cannot find it. Any info about how to fix it?

Sometimes a contact gets its address duplicated, one with dots at the end of each field and the other without them.

The last issue I found is that Goolge Talk accounts change to Jabber accounts from time to time.

By the way, I've seen new packaged entering the repos, any changelog?

ca i get some help here?

Re: HOWTO: Syncevolution with N900
 

On your N900, go to this page: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...6.7-1osso1+r1/
And click on the libpcre3_6.7-1osso1+r1_armel.deb
It should get downloaded and installed.

hello, thanks for the fast given tip ...
but: i tried to install it, it is not possible
"installation not possible, lib is not compatible"
any new advice ?
thanks in advance

Re: HOWTO: Syncevolution with N900
 

can you try to install it in the terminal?
(You will need root rights for that, please check the forum for help)
then install it with
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libpcre3_6.7-1osso1+r1_armel.deb
The file might have another version number!

Re: HOWTO: Syncevolution with N900 (contact fields are lost)
 

Hi,

I installed a funambol server on my home server and want to use it to sync my contacts between Evolution (on Ubuntu Laptop) and N900. After the first slow-sync between these clients (using syncevolution with GUI client) and funambol I got a long list of contacts with many duplicates on my N900. I corrected all errors and removed all duplicates. Then I used syncevolution on N900 with option "Refresh from Client" to replace all contacts on funambol server with this good contacts list from N900.

All contacts are written to funambol server but many fields are missing. There is at most one e-mail address per contact and postal address is completly missing. Other fields (name, avatar, some phone numbers etc) arrive as expected.

Any idea why so many fields are lost?

Thank you for help, gilead

Re: HOWTO: Syncevolution with N900
 

I am not sure which fields are supported in the sync. I.E. my skype contacts are not getting synced!

Re: HOWTO: Syncevolution with N900
 

Its not only a problem of Skype contacts for me. I entered a lot of data manually (e.g. postal addresses) and theses are not synced at all to the funambol server.

Is it a problem of funambol, syncevolution or some settings on my side? I don't know and have no more ideas to find out.

Regards, gilead

An easy way to synchronize Maemo Calendar with a CalDAV service:

1. With the extras-devel repository enabled, install the package syncevolution-frontend

2. Open the SyncEvolution application

3. Tap on "Sync services", and press "Add new service". Next.

4. Give a name to this subscription, select "Google calendar" template, and Next.

5. Replace the "Sync URL" for the right one of your existing remote account. Fill username and password in Account boxes if necessary.

6. Ignore the "Database configuration is not currently available for this service type" warning. Next, Finish.

* Tested with DAViCal server software
