calendar events missing after firmware update [answered]
asked 2019-10-18 18:57:40 +0300
When I updated to latest SailfishOS 3.1.0.11 (from a SailfishOS 3 version, not sure if it was the previous one), I noticed that all my calendar events were not displayed anymore, except the new events created. However, I received a reminder for a previous recurring event not displayed, which means that previous events are still present and active, they are just not displayed on the calendar.
Why did it happen and does Jolla plan to fix it soon? Is there a workaround that we can already use to restore previous events so we can see and edit / delete them?
Note: when I receive a previous event reminder and use the pull-down menu to select "Show event", I get an empty page. This is a severe issue, there is a data loss in the calendar so SailfishOS users cannot trust and rely on the default calendar app.
maybe they didn't disapear but system may have a lag to display it. on my device i remark that my event are not displayed but a lione of the top of the app for the pull down menu zoom. i should wait more than 30s or 1 min by pulling or swish right down u left then after a while it appears

cemoi71 ( 2019-10-18 20:14:57 +0300 )edit@cemoi71 I don't think the rights were changed because I used the same rights (710) before the update. For some reason we need more rights (770) to display calendar events created before the update.
baptx ( 2019-10-18 20:22:41 +0300 )edit@cemoi71 I updated my answer with more details. When we use 770 rights, we cannot see events created with 710 rights so with this bug we can create hidden calendar events in SailfishOS :D
I think it had nothing to do with the firmware update, I guess the previous events were missing because they were all created with 770 and I just used 710 for new events.
