[SyncEvolution] SyncEvolution - Progress report of sorts w MemoToo and Keepcontacts/Everdroid and further requests/issues
Greetings, After many iterations, it seems Syncevolution can work with Keepcontacts. Adjustments were made by Keepcontacts support. On the client side, the critical piece is running the sync from the command line interface with the command: syncevolution --run --sync refresh-from-local keepcontacts Once synced, I tried syncing using the GUI. It seemed to work, but in the end the GUI displayed the message: Error 22001 I checked the logfile for this error, and there is nothing there that is being reported. So, Memotoo and Keepcontacts can successfully be synced from a computer. From the phone (Samsung A52 vs Samsung S7 experience), there are some snits: Memotoo's data is not visible to the A52 Samsung's native Contacts manager (Keepcontacts data is visible). So, I tried a few Contacts managers, and settled on installing Simple Contacts Pro. For each relevant accounts' data (one that has an addressbook), that data is accessible via Simple Contacts Pro; on Samsung's A52 contacts manager Memotoo's account is not visible. One other Memotoo-related annoyance: Memotoo data is visible to Simple Contacts Pro; you can initiate calls and text messages from Simple Contacts Pro. However, when looking through phone log or SMS history, only the bare numbers are visible, not the associated name from the addressbook. However, when using Keepcontacts on the A52, the phone and SMS log/history shows associations to the names in the addressbook. I've explored the Permissions Manager on the A52, and have compared it to the Permissions manager settings on the S7. And everything seems to be set correctly. I would prefer using the Memotoo data for the Contacts manager (whether Samsung's or Simple Contacts); it seems that this is embedded in one of the A52 configurations that I can control. If this isn't the appropriate forum for this, or if there are better ones, I would greatly welcome any suggestions on how to proceed.

Further up there's the message that was sent to the server. If you ran with a high enough log level, it will contain your data - this is good for debugging, but beware of your privacy. Yes, I shared it. And I understand the concerns about privacy. M My guess is that SyncEvolution sends data that the server doesn't like, but that's speculation. KeepContacts should know what this 400 status means. ___ SyncEvolution mailing list -- syncevolution@syncevolution.org To unsubscribe send an email to syncevolution-le...@syncevolution.org %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s

I've had to restore, usually the phone book, a couple of times after it got corrupted on my phone. I don't recall the details but there is some setup within Evolution to make this work but as I recall, it walks you through it. I think the backups are encrypted. I have to enter a password each time. Greetings, Much thanks to all who have offered advice. I have finally gotten around to upgrading my phone from an Android Samsung S7 to an Android Samsung A52 5G, per Sprint/T-Mobile's requirements. The last task for managing all the upgrade is to configure MemoToo, or to find some other mechanism of accessing either my Evolution data or to download it from the Memotoo website (my governing data is what is input into Evolution on my computer; Memotoo and my phone(s) only receive the data). Memotoo provides its app on its website. There are some instructions on how to configure it on different OS's and devices. I do not have an answer as to why it was removed from the Google Play store. Per the instructions from Memotoo, I have downloaded and installed the MemoToo app on the A52. I am able to download (reset) my contacts and calendar data to my A52. However, when I open Samsung's Contacts on the A52, I can't configure it so that it sees Memotoo's data. The same happens with my Samsung Calendar on my A52. I have contacted Memotoo in this regard. I have then downloaded/purchased Synthesis SyncML Client PRO. I have only begun to wrestle with the configuration. So far, all I see is that it can upload, not download data. But these are the early stages. What I have gleened, though. The last system software update on my S7 was to Android 8.x; the A52's Android version is Android 11. Synthesis SyncML Client PRO provides documentation (http://www.synthesis.ch/dl.php/1596/SyncML_Client_for_Android_en.pdf); a brief review indicates that " for Android 1.5 up to Android 8.1 ( ARM and Intel Atom, 32/64 bit). The page footers indicate a copyright from 2002-2018. So, there is some concern if this software is current.

Re: [SyncEvolution] Suggestions for moving Palm Note data to Android
Hi, Le mardi 29 janvier 2013 à 14:47 -0500, Max Pyziur a écrit : Greetings, I have some notes that I made on my Palm Centro. Would anyone have any recommendations on how to move this data to Evolution; it seems that my effort (dumping into some VCF format, and them importing it into Evolution) led to the corruption of my Evolution addressbook, and in turn gotten me subscribed to this email list). Before my Palm let me down I used to sync it with Evolution with gnome-pilot without trouble. In particular, the notes synced fine. If you still have gnome-pilot somewhere (it's getting rare), you could do just one sync with it (gnome-pilot has a setting for 1-way sync once) and the rest from Evolution. Much thanks for all of your help. (N.B., I have over 30+ memos; importing them one at a time would take some time.) I used to sync my Palm Centro w/ J-Pilot, not Gnome-Pilot (although you can still download and use Gnome-Pilot). In my haste, I sync'd my desktop J-pilot w/ my Palm Centro, and then wiped out the data on the Centro in order to take it to the recycler. I suppose that I can restore the data on the Centro, and then sync it w/ Gnome-Pilot. In the meantime, I downloaded some Android Apps for use w/ Memos created on a Palm Centro: PalmNote and NoteEverything (both of which have claims of interoperability w/ Palm-related data). J-Pilot exports Palm Memos in two formats: csv and txt. The csv format can be imported into PalmNote (yay!). PalmNote can export, but only in one format, it's PalmNote xml export format. (NoteEverything doesn't accept either of the two J-Pilot memo export formats). So, are there any suggestions on how to handle the PalmNote xml export format, in order to import the data into Evolution? I don't see that it is given as an option when importing into Evolution; I also don't see it as an option in importing it into a cloud service (MemoToo, EverDroid, or OneMediaHub).

I did not check whether the UI made use of that data correctly. Categories do travel with the data to Onemediahub (since when I sync a device to OneMediahub data the categories move to the device also - I see them if I do an export to a VCF file on the device) however, unlike Memotoo, they don't show up automatically. So they are stored in Android, but not used in the UI? Sort of: 1 - if I export the contacts data in vcf format from the Android device OneMediaHub phonebook then I see the appropriate category in the exported file. 2 - if I explicitly add the category to Onemediahub Android device or on the website, then those items associated w/ that category appear (in this case MemoToo wins, since I don't have to go through this process on the website). This is really a question for Funambol, no idea. Copy that. At the Android device level, categories aren't imported during a sync; however, once you setup a category that's in the sync'd data, the items in that category show up. How do you sync? I used the Synthesis SyncML client for a while, but don't remember if it supported categories. My syncing (so far): desktop - cloud service - device. That doesn't answer how the cloud service - device part is done. Both Memotoo and OneMediaHub work with arbitrary SyncML clients. I see on memotoo that for Android, both their own Memotoo sync (a Funambol client fork as far as I know) and the Synthesis client are mentioned. Either way, this seems to go wrong outside of SyncEvolution. You should better try to get in touch with the developers of the Android sync client to get your problem fixed. I get it: SyncEvolution is between Evolution and a respective cloud service or peer/local device, not between cloud service and Android device. One personal peeve, w/r/t contacts and the cloud services: the country field gets homogenized in the cloud service, notably Memotoo. Several examples: if I have, say, an ISO-3316 two-letter code for a country on my Evolution desktop - US (for the United States), Memotoo converts it to United States. If I use a foreign term for a country code, say Россия (Russia), Memotoo on the web page converts this to Russian Federation Would someone know of an override for this (as in, leave my country names as is, please)?

If that doesn't help, then shut down Evolution and e[volution]-addressbook-factory and remove all files inside the directory of the address book (shown when listing databases, or found via the UUID inside ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook when using a recent EDS). I see that evolution-addressbook-factory is running pyz@brill ~/projects/Evolution ps waux | grep evo pyz 1410 0.0 0.1 542704 10952 ?Sl 07:09 0:00 /usr/libexec/evolution/3.4/evolution-alarm-notify pyz 1586 0.0 0.2 756492 14204 ?Sl 07:09 0:01 /usr/libexec/evolution-calendar-factory pyz 1599 0.0 0.1 1232276 11720 ? Sl 07:09 0:01 /usr/libexec/evolution-addressbook-factory but I don't know how to elegantly shutdown evolution-addressbook-factory Is there a way? But only do that after verifying that SyncEvolution really uses the same address book as Evolution... Much thanks for all of your help; and apologies for doign this overly asynchronously.

You'll have to use the killall command, like this: killall -9 evolution-addressbook-factory So it is inelegant. Make sure that Evolution is not running while you do this. If importing via Evolution after killing the process and deleting the files fails, then you can try another way of importing the file. Kill +remove as before, but then run: syncevolution --import your file.vcf @default addressbook Everything worked; I tried both of your recommended methods (1-via evolution; 2-via syncevolution). Much thanks for all of the help and quick replies. I have more questions, but I'll put them under a separate thread.

[SyncEvolution] Cloud Services and rationales
Greetings, Much thanks for all of the help. My goal is to keep all of my PIM data in sync across several components: a desktop, an Android phone, and occasionally a laptop; the desktop and laptop run some version of Fedora linux and evolution. Previously, I had a Palm Centro phone, and I used J-Pilot on my desktops to sync PIM data. USB cabling was all that was required. With an Android phone (HTC Design 4G) replacing the Palm Centro, USB cabling apparently became unavailable, at least for those using a Linux desktop/laptop. HTC only provides software for Windows platforms (HTC Sense). Consequently, the cloud seemed to be the expedient alternative, with several choices available. Google seemed to be an uncritical default w/ so many of Android's functions tied to Google's services. However, since Google is in the search business, PIM data seems to be something that I personally would like to keep separate from my search engine or Google Reader histories. So, I've been working/syncing with three different services: Memotoo, Funambol/Onemediahub, and everdroid (mobical). Two areas of frustration: category-synchronization, and device synchronization. On my Android phone, PIM data is kept seperately from the default (Onemediahub keeps the phonebook in a phonebook labeled Onemediahub; likewise Memotoo). Is there are a way of making the cloudservice the default? As for categories, Memotoo accepts the master data's (in my case the desktop's) categories; Onemediahub doesn't. At the Android device level, categories aren't imported during a sync; however, once you setup a category that's in the sync'd data, the items in that category show up. In the old days (twenty years ago), rationales for certain internet-related procedures were first embedded in RFCs. However, there seems to be a bit of a potential for inconsistency given the way PIM data is used and moved by cloud services. Comments?

[SyncEvolution] Suggestions for moving Palm Note data to Android
Greetings, I have some notes that I made on my Palm Centro. Would anyone have any recommendations on how to move this data to Evolution; it seems that my effort (dumping into some VCF format, and them importing it into Evolution) led to the corruption of my Evolution addressbook, and in turn gotten me subscribed to this email list).

On my Android phone, PIM data is kept seperately from the default (Onemediahub keeps the phonebook in a phonebook labeled Onemediahub; likewise Memotoo). Is there are a way of making the cloudservice the default? I think keeping a separate address book is by design, so no. One down, one to go. (Copy contacts may be a solution here). As for categories, Memotoo accepts the master data's (in my case the desktop's) categories; Onemediahub doesn't. You are talking about contact data here, right? Yes CATEGORIES were tested successfully with Onemediahub when SyncEvolution 1.3 was released; I just checked the logs, the server did include correct CATEGORIES data when downloading via SyncML. I did not check whether the UI made use of that data correctly. Categories do travel with the data to Onemediahub (since when I sync a device to OneMediahub data the categories move to the device also - I see them if I do an export to a VCF file on the device) however, unlike Memotoo, they don't show up automatically. In Memotoo, if categories are used in the PIM contacts data on the destktop, sync'd to Memotoo, then Memotoo automotacily shows accounts and their groups. At the Android device level, categories aren't imported during a sync; however, once you setup a category that's in the sync'd data, the items in that category show up. How do you sync? I used the Synthesis SyncML client for a while, but don't remember if it supported categories. My syncing (so far): desktop - cloud service - device. Since I'm new to this game (post-Palm Centro), I'm open to alternatives.

[SyncEvolution] Syncevolution: will not sync local contact data with could (fwd)
Greetings, I first posted this item on us...@lists.fedoraproject.org, but as yet have not received a reply. To add to what's written below, I've been using syncevolution with several cloud services, including Funambol/Onemediahub, Everdroid, and Memotoo, having the most success with the last one. Yesterday, after trying to import Palm Centro-produced Notes into Evolution, and then doing trying to do a sync w/ MemoToo, the Contacts/Addressbook sync portion failed, while the Calendar portion continued to function. More below. So, my interest is in restoring the sync capabilities w/ the Addressbook. Much thanks.

However, while using syncevolution's gui I get the following message: There is problem w/ the local database; syncing again or rebooting may help Syncing again doesn't help; rebooting (the machine?) doesn't either (is there something else - evolution-data-server? - that can be rebooted). Digging deeper there is the following message: [2013-01-27 20:35:40.237] error code from SyncEvolution fatal error (local, status 10500): addressbook: reading all items: Cannot get contact list: Contact not found So, it seems that some sort of index or file has been corrupted. Is there a way of rebuilding it? Currently, I have no problems working w/ my contacts/addressbook in Evolution itself. I also have no problem syncing my calendar to Memotoo.
