I had calender syncronisation issues. This is Nextcloud and LineageOS 16.
First thing: Contact synchronization (with same account obviously) always worked!
I noticed that in Etar there was a big problem:
- I have three calenders in Nextcloud, but…
- in Etar each one of these was duplicated 5 or more times and thus I had a big list of calenders with the same name and color (each). But all were set to visible, so things should
have been shown. - and nothing in calenders was synchronized,
What I did:
- delete the DavX5 account and re-create it, test again, still did not work etc.
- now the calender was “only” duplicated 3 times, i.e. listed 3 times for each.
- when doing this again (deleting DavX5 account) I checked when the account was deleted and indeed all calenders were gone, so it’s not the case that there were old, unused/unassigned calenders.
- nor creating entries on the phone, or online/from another device changed this and nothing was synced
- there were no visible errors shown
- (maybe important) on the same device/situation there happened also this crash (see also there for system details): https://forums.bitfire.at/topic/2168/crash-when-trying-to-enable-event-colors
More:
- This started some time ago, maybe with an update. At the beginning, some old entries in the calender were still there/synchronized, but no new synchronization seem to have worked.
- Previously I did forget to disable batery optimisation, but obviously did when investing the issue.
- DavX5 showed some warning about Huawai devices/firmware, but this is LineageOS, so this does not seem apply (after all, it’S all triggered wih manual syncs, so these are no “getting killed in background” issues).
- the only other calender on the device is one from ICS5 (which was/is not duplicated, except for 5 minutes, were I accidentally re-added it again – deleted afterwards though)
