Holamigos,
I synced my contacts (very quickly, thanks for such great software) onto my
Nokia E52. Today I updated one friend's details in Evolution and synced again.
Now on my phone I have the new address information, but the phone and email info
has all disappeared from the phone.
I also created one new contact in Evolution, including phone / email and a note.
That person was synced, with all their data, onto the phone.
It seems like, when I edit an existing contact, the phone and email information
disappears from the phone. I think I've found the relevant part of the logs for
this one contact, but I'm not sure what parts are useful to you. I can send the
whole log file somewhere if it will be kept private.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Love & joy - Callum.

Hi,
what version of Syncevolution do you use? Maybe you run into the issue
which is fixed by this commit:
http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-middleware/syncevolution/commit/9db07a66...
I use an E55, which is basically the same phone with a different
keyboard and older firmware :-( with git master from October 4th and it
works fine.
Regards,
Tino

Thanks a lot Tino, I think you've identified the cause of my issue.
I just tried installing SyncEvolution 1.0.99.7 from the unstable deb repo. I
still have the problem.
I looked at the dates, and the patch was committed 8 Sept and 1.0.99.7 released
1 Oct. Do I need to build from source to get a version that's new enough to
release the fix you linked to?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Maybe it's sufficent to adopt the changes in the XML files in this
commit to your Syncevolution installation, without the need to
recompile. If I got this right, the single change in
src/backends/file/FileSyncSource.h only matters if you sync
syncevolution with another syncevolution.

Just checked my local system and I have all of those changes already. So it
looks like my issue lies elsewhere. Bummer, I thought it was going to be an easy
fix. :-(
Any idea what else might be causing the issue? Or what part of the logs would be
useful to post? I have over 2'000 contacts, so the full logs can be a bit
unmanageable.

Did you kill syncevo-dbus-server after the upgrade? I don't know if
this is might be an issue.
Otherwise, you might try to sync everything from the server again on
your mobile, and test if updates to a single contact work after this.
I have to reboot my phone after syncing everyting from server,
otherwise the contact manager behaves strange (shows duplicated entries
etc.).

I saw some kindn of dbus issue, couldn't work around it, so I rebooted.

Turns out it was a data corruption on the phone that caused the issue. I
reformatted the phone, restored from a backup, and it worked. Happy days. :-)

I just tried installing SyncEvolution 1.0.99.7 from the unstable deb repo. I
still have the problem.
As Tino said, Your problem sounds exactly like the issue in the commit
above, which should have been solved in 1.0.99.7. Can you double-check
that the data that is sent to the phone as part of updating a contact
does not contain the X-EVOLUTION-SLOT parameter?

You're exactly right. It was that problem. I had another problem (data
corruption on the phone) which threw me off. However, for anyone else finding
this in the future, I did have to run `syncevolution --remove <config>` first.
Then, I was able to create a new sync profile with the type "Nokia" and it
worked fine.
Can I report success on a Nokia E52 somehow on the wiki?

The only effect of recreating the config is that it'll do a slow sync
directly after recreating the config. The same effect can be achieved on
the command line with "syncevolution --sync slow <config>", without
recreating the config. "--sync refresh-from-server" may also help (wipes
out data on the phone and copies it from the computer).

Sure, please do. See

Hmm. When I first created the sync profile (config?) I did it through sync-ui.
One of the options in the list of choices was Nokia N900. I chose that option as
I thought that's what was suggested on the Nokia E51 wiki page. Then I deleted
the config and tried instead Nokia S60 (I think that's what it was called). Now,
after upgrading to 1.0.99.7, when I created it again, I chose just "Nokia". I
assumed that those "profiles" (or whatever they're called) were changing as
I
upgraded. Did I misunderstand what that choice means?

These profiles have always been identical except in their name; that's
why they were merged in 1.0.99.7 (no reason to choose between two
options which are the same underneath).
After creating a config, the original configuration template no longer
matters. If SyncEvolution upgrades change templates in a way that
matters for existing configs, then I try to make it so that old configs
continue to work as if they were new or describe the change in the
release notes.
