  Hello! Thanks for the suggestion, but we have thought about the name intensively and we like it and we don’t want to change it a second time within 2 months. For the pronounciation of DAVx⁵, see: https://www.davx5.com/faq/what-does-davx5-stand-for I have problems with programs that render incorrectly (draw a “square”) or incorrectly handle this character. Which are those programs? Seems there’s a problem with Unicode rendering there. Maybe you can improve them by sending a bug report.

  Although there is not that single solution for all occurancies, most of the systems are able to handle custom fields. This should allow to add such a field to DAVx5 too. I think it would always be better to cover at least 70-80% of the systems instead of 0 %. I just had a look on it and checked how other systems are handling a death day field. Here are my findings: Nextcloud 15.0.2/Contacts 3.0.3 and ownCloud 10.0.10/Contacts 1.5.5 both handle the custom field Todestag in this way: BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 PRODID:-//Sabre//Sabre VObject 4.1.6//EN UID:2ba8a291-5cc9-4865-a9c4-4d053a0ab080 FN:Dean Death BDAY:19500101T000015 DEATHDATE:20181231T000000 END:VCARD Android 8.0 contact sync’ed using the ContactSync app shows the custom field Todestag correctly: Thunderbird 60.5.0/Cardbook add-on 33.9 shows the custom field label Todestag correctly: IOS 12.1 is also able to handle custom labels although the vcf syntax differs a bit: BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 PRODID:-//Apple Inc.//iPhone OS 12.1//EN N:Dean Death;;;; FN: Dean Death BDAY:1980-01-01 item1.X-ABDATE;type=pref:2000-04-30 item1.X-ABLabel:Todestag END:VCARD

  Enhancement request: Currently you have to enter the wifi network names you want to automatically use to sync with, manually. It would be nice to provide a checkbox dialog with all available networks to minimize the possibility of typos.

  @rfc2822 I granted permissions to access contacts on my phone and the carddav option shows the url to the caldav server (without a possibility to change the url to my carddav server - which would be nice for my private account) So thanks for the calming explanations

  Hi, Thanks for the quick response. It makes sense why one synchronization is one session, for sanity’s sake. Could one cookie be used to describe each individual sync session whereas an additional cookie be placed in persistent storage, i.e. cached on disk, to describe the device identity? I’m looking at Firefox as an example. My identity is synchronized at least once during every browsing session, and yet the device lists a single (UUID? don’t remember the terminology…) for that connection. I think Plex does something similar in their access lists.

  Yes, it’s a limitation of Android, which only provides one set of SyncColumns per event or per contact: this only supports one sync adapter per contacts list or per calendar. However at the server side there is no such limitation. Any authorised program can connect to the CardDAV or CalDAV server. So if your server is on your PC and you can find a PC program (or write one) which synchronises between the CardDAV server and your Google contacts list or between the CalDAV server and your Google calendar, you can get those synced up with your Android device. It looks as if Google’s calendar and contacts will now act as CalDAV and CardDAV servers, so an alternative option might be to use those as your server instead of your own PC if you were using that. If you have a PC application that also talks to your server, it should be able to talk to Google’s one as well.

  Hello, The ORGANIZER is managed by Android (which uses the account name when no organizer has been set) and/or the calendar app. DAVdroid only takes the values which it receives from the calendar provider, see the image at https://www.davdroid.com/faq/system-integration/ You could create multiple accounts with various account names (= ORGANIZERS) and then use the calendars accordingly.

  I am not aware of any standard way of doing this (there are programs that do multi-contact export in *.vcf), nor do I know whether this would be a topic for DAVdroid or ICSdroid. Do you know of any way, to share multiple contacts via a (password-protected) URL, that can be synced to android contacts (obviuosly read-only)? Application could be: export of centrally managed customer contact info’s, export of corporate mail directory, …

  Sure. Many cases, complex thing. Still, if a user enters special, undiscoverable URL, which happens to be 404 invalid, DAVdroid shall communicate this to the user and not try the .well-known addresses. I am addressing the raised concerns here, stating in which cases 401 means invalid username/password. E.g. when the .well-known/ addresses are not fetched and thus no 404 comes from them. An additional wrong username/password on 401 is an improvement, but I think in some cases it can mean only this and not lead to a misleading ”Couldn’t find CalDAV/CardDAV service“.

  So the networks don’t support dynamic DNS updates (like RFC 2136)? Because if they do, it should be possible to resolve the laptop host name by normal DNS…

  Please see this poll: https://twitter.com/davdroidapp/status/1006892001126690816 71 % have voted for keeping current behavior (no automatic selection) However, to improve user experience, we have introduced a small message to indicate that collections must be selected to be synchronized: This message is only shown if there are no collections selected when the activity is started.

  I would add a line in the gitlab readme as you don’t use issues there: “For bug reports and feature request use the [Forum]” Same for the https://www.davdroid.com/ page: “The source code is available, and you can download the app on F-Droid.” add “For feature requests and bugs, please use our [Forum]” And add it to the “Links” section: “Contribute in our Forum” or “Discussions” oder sowas… Cheers

  We’re testing Collection Sync support for contacts with the latest DAVdroid development version. While testing, we have encountered some problems when limiting results (which would by very useful especially for DAVdroid) with certain servers/services: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/9339 fruux (reported over support form on 29 Apr 2018) iCloud: works, but ignores limit (should send 507) (will be updated) So collection syncs seems to be working with all tested services which support it, but we can’t and won’t use limiting results for now.

  Hello, Please see here: https://www.davdroid.com/manual/accounts/#c272 DAVdroid address books accounts: They’re named after the CardDAV address book which they are connected to, plus a hash of the URL, for instance: My addresses (UA). The hash is necessary when there are two address books with the same name. The address book account names will be shown in your contacts app as possible destinations for contacts. and here: https://forums.bitfire.at/topic/1432/what-does-cq-at-the-end-of-my-e-mail-address-stand-for Without the hash (the two letters), it would not be possible to have two address books with the same name (e.g. “Address book”) in two different CardDAV accounts.
