I'm using a Jolla Classic, with latest official updates and got a bit of syncronisation trouble.

The reason for my troubles is that my ownCloud provider just became my NextCloud provider, the switch has brought on a bit of syncronisation troubles.

Deleting and recreating my syncronisation connections fixed the calendar/CalDAV problems, but I still got Contacts/CardDAV problems.

It seems the Jolla is unable to sync the existing contacts stored on it. If I create a new one, on the Jolla, it gets synced correctly. If I create a new one on the server or KAddress it also gets syncronised correctly to the Jolla.

Is there a way to force a sync of my Contacts?

Add:

Well I decided to manually duplicate all contacts entry.

By adding the number 2 to all lastnames and copy the information, one string at the time and forcing a synchronization between each - otherwise it refuses to syncronise.

At the moment, it seems, that I am unable to synchronize the pictures - but that is only a nice-to-have.

I wonder it there is a difference in the implementation of CardDAV in ownCloud and nextCloud?

The ownNotes app seems to work just as well on nextCloud BTW - good job dude! (I just wish that I had just as good a program om the KDE side of things.)

If you go to Settings>Accounts>Your account for synchronizing. And then pull the menu down, there should be option Synchronize or something like this. Hopefully this will work!

Hey Pat - thanks for taking the time to answer.

But the adviced procedure only syncronises new contacts. Changing a field or two, like first and last name isn't enough to force it either.

I use mailbox.org and changes on my contacts get synchronized with the menu-option without problems. I tested it with changing the name and seconds after use "Synchronize" the changes are on my phone. (Jolla 1 with 2.0.5.6)

If you scroll down there should be option for two way synchronization.;)
