Hi everyone,

I've installed Multisync and want to sync the calendar in my Siemens S55
with Evolution. When I try to sync the phone with Evolution, syncing
starts (the phone says that a transfer is in progress), but then
suddenly the phone gives a low beep and switches itself off. It seems
that the phone simply crashes. When I then switch the phone on again,
the calendar entries are all there, but the old calendar entries are not
deleted. So with every sync operation I get one more set of calendar
entries.

I first thought it may be a problem with the phone loosing power, but
the problem persists when I attach the power load craddle. Bluetooth
works fine with the phone normally (at least my Bluetooth headset does).

I'm not sure if these are two distinct problems (1. phone switches
itself off and 2. calendar entries appear double) or just one problem
(because phone switches itself off the superfluous calendar entries are
not deleted).

I found another post in the archives which described this problem but no
solution for me. I feel that this could be a kernel problem or maybe
with the phones firmware, but I'd feel better if someone could confirm
this before I start compiling a new kernel and mess with my phone's
firmware.

Version information is as follows:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] markus]$ rpm -qa | grep "multisync"
multisync-evolution-0.82-1
multisync-0.82-1

[EMAIL PROTECTED] markus]$ rpm -qa | grep "evolution-1"
evolution-1.4.6-0.ximian.6.5

[EMAIL PROTECTED] markus]$ rpm -qa | grep "blue"
bluez-sdp-1.5-1
bluez-utils-2.4-1
bluez-libs-2.5-1

[EMAIL PROTECTED] markus]$ uname -a

[EMAIL PROTECTED] markus]$ sudo tail -f /var/log/messages

This is the 2.4.20-8 kernel which is included into RedHat 9. The
Bluetooth Dongle is an EPOX BT-DG02A. I have compiled the bluetooth
module for Multisync by hand from the source and installed it (sudo make
install) because the RPM for that didn't install due to dependency
problems.

Settings in Multisync are as follows:

First plugin: Ximian Evolution (with Standard Settings)

Second plugin: IrMC Mobile Device
Connection Type: Bluetooth
Adress and channel according to what was determined by "Search for
units"
Options: "Set default options for Siemens S55"

Data types to synchronize:
[X] Calendar
[ ] Addressbook
[ ] Tasks

Phone Firmware version is as follows:

Product: S55
P.-Date: 2004-03-23
SW-Version: 16.
SW-Date: 2003-05-05
Variant: A 105

Any answer or pointers to additional troubleshooting documentation would
be greatly appreciated.


Markus
