cannot enable automatic sync

[hediwi]

I am using davdroid 0.9.1.3 on Android 4.4.2. I created an account for syncing with my mailbox.org calendars and contacts.
Manual synchronization works, but I am not able to switch on automatic synchronisation. My davdroid account shows “Synchronisation: OFF” (I had no option while creating it to choose “ON” or “OFF”. When tapping on the account name, there are no switches to switch on/off synchronization for calendars or contacts. There are only two entries which propose immediate manual synchronisation (and that works).
Did I something wrong when creating the account or what is my problem? (see attached screenshots)

Seems like global synchronization (for all accounts, Android setting) is disabled. Please provide DAVdroid debug info.

OK, that was the right hint - found it in the Web and enabled it
“Settings > Wireless & Networks > Data Usage > 3 dot menu (top right) > Auto-sync data”.
With google as the only calendar and contacts provider the synchronization worked fine and I never noticed this setting.

THANKS.

I guess Google apps are always allowed to do anything

Good to hear that it now works.
