Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:53:57 +0100 Hi Suyog, Many thanks for your blog entry and figuring out how to get the SyncML password for OVI (that's where I got stuck a few months ago when I tried to test with OVI)! This was very helpful to be able to try the latest Todo+Cal+Sync (our iPhone app based on libsynthesis) with OVI. I could sync all contacts, events and todos, but with mixed problems: - Contacts worked ok with vCard 3.0 (server path: ./Contact/Unfiled) - Tasks worked somehow with iCalendar 2.0 (server path: ./EventTask/Tasks). The strange thing is that this datastore sometimes also contains all events (the same that are also in ./EventTasks/Event), and sometimes even does not stop sending the same records over and over again (needed to force-abort the session when the server had already sent 1400 out of a grand total of 50...). I guess Nokia has never really tested this because they don't need separate tasks for their own devices, these usually have tasks and events combined. I tried all sorts of tricks like rejecting events with status 415, or silently accepting them with 201, but nothing really worked. This simply seems to be extremely buggy and unpredictable server side behaviour. Not too surprising, nicely matches my previous experiences with IntelliSync (which also exists in the GroupWise and Sun Calendar contexts). - Events worked only with all-day events with iCalendar 2.0, so I switched on legacy mode in libsynthesis to force vCalendar 1.0; with this sync worked ok. I used ./EventTask/Events as server path (it seems that the manual settings page in OVI has this wrong). I hope this information might help for further Ovi testing with
