DAVdroid 1.3.4.1/ose
Nextcloud 10.0.2
(some large contact pictures)
The initial sync fails - different contacts get synced every time.
While this well might be a nextcloud problem, I believe that DAVdroid should incrementally sync the contacts and eventually all contacts should be synchronized.
There are 229 contacts in the address book:

This is exactly what DAVdroid does. It never downloads more than 10 contacts at once.
at.bitfire.davdroid:sync W/davdroid: [syncadapter.SyncManager] I/O exception during sync, trying again later
EXCEPTION java.net.SocketTimeoutException: timeout
You’re experiencing a server timeout. Please contact your server admin and/or Nextcloud support.
I am syncing from nextcloud to android. When the systems works as you describe, I would assume that number of contacts on the phone should constantly increase until all the contacts are synced.
I would expect that with an increasing number of contacts on the phone, the number of contacts to download from the server should decrease.
With every sync I always get: Downloading 229 contacts (10 at once)
Why does that number not go down?
Thanks
@hey Because the server times out when DAVdroid tries to download the first bunch of 10 contacts.
Currently, the read timeout is set to 120 seconds, which should be more than enough to send the first octet of 10 contacts.
Why do you think this is a DAVdroid problem?
because I do see DAVdroid reading about 10 packets of 10 contacts before the timeout.
As expected from that, I can see about 100 contacts in the phones address book.
But DAVdtroid still tries to download all 229 contacts. - The number is never decreasing.
@hey Could you please provide the logs?
I could not find a tool to remove sensible information from the log. But the beginning of the log shows that all local entries get deleted - sorry, missed that before:

Probably because there wasn’t a successful sync yet. Not the most ideal solution, will think about that.
However, the real problem still remains the server timeout… and without logs, I can’t say anything more.
The problem that contacts are deleted again and again until there is a successful sync has been fixed in davdroid/ef92753a.
Maybe this could help you, but the timeout will probably still be the main problem.
Thanks a lot - the sync behavior is much better now.
After a couple of sync processes only a remainder of 7 contacts fail to sync. - the other contacts remain on the phone.
Could it have something to do with the contacts?
The link addresses from the log file work fine when I do open them in firefox.

@hey said in Sync fails with Nextcloud:
After a couple of sync processes only a remainder of 7 contacts fail to sync. - the other contacts remain on the phone.

With Firefox, you can only do a GET request for every single VCard. DAVdroid uses addressbook-multiget to download the 7 contacts at once.
As I said above, I don’t see any indication that this could be a DAVdroid problem. Did you have a look at the server/Nextcloud logs?
Hi,
it took a while for me to find out what is going on. - I finally managed to sync all my contacts, so I wanted to share what is going on.
First I hacked the code to just synchronize one contact at a time. It turned out that only one contact gave problems in the end.
I had a look at that contact. It had a large contact picture (2MByte), and it took a long time for the server to reply. (> 60 sec?)
After deleting the picture (and replacing it with a smaller one) I can sync all my contacts without problems.
Thanks for DAVdroid
& merry x-mas
Thank you for the update on this and also for the clarification – hopefully it helps other people that run into same issues
