Revision history [back]

First of all I must say that Active Sync seems to finally work (somehow), at least much better than in the past when I got only an initial sync working with my provider (Uses Open-Xchange: www.open-xchange.com).But there are still limitations and bugs which I would like to list here in the anticipation that those issues might get addressed soon :-)

For testing purposes I set up an dummy contact and filled all possible fields to see what Sailfish 1.1.7.28 supports...

Phone numbers: The following number types get all synchronised which is great!! The problem? In the contact app or the dialer only 3 out of them are offered as possible options to dial. But despite that, I can see all of these numbers only when editing the contact...just not dial them! Phone (Work 1), Phone (Work 2), Fax (Work), Phone (Home 1), Phone (Home 2), Fax (Home), Phone (Mobile 1), Pager, Phone (Car), Phone (Assistant), Phone (Company)

Contact Photo: Never shows up but also no default icon. It offers me to remove the avatar, so it must recognize it but seems it can't display it

Contact details: - A middle name i synced, but never shown in the contact's details only when editing the entry - Contact details like Manager Name, Assistant Name, Spouse Name, Messenger (Work), Messenger (Home), Messenger (Other) are not shown and deleted from the server when syncing (DATA LOSS!!! This should not happen!). Other contact details like Title, Room, Note are also not shown but DO NOT GET DELETED from the server on syncs. Please fix this and include/support those additional fields- at least don't delete that information (or overwrite it with blank info) on the server!

Thanks for addressing those issues! I think that proper EAS support is crucial today for any operating system, the same goes for CalDAV/CardDav and seeing the amount of issues users have I think Jolla should invest more manpower on those parts of the OS.

Contact Photo: Never shows up but also no default icon. It offers me to remove the avatar, so it must recognize it but seems it can't display itit. [UPDATE] Worked now when setting the photo directly on the WebUI of Open-Xchange. Could be client related...?
