Thanks Dinesh, that helped! I did not know how to connect syncevo to
akonadi...
Dinesh, Stefan, care to create a documentation page for this?
syncevolution.org has a Wiki.
However, the synchronisation is a little bit strange. First, I
get the following messages when syncing:
me@mycomputer:~> syncevolution --sync slow nokia5230 addressbook
[INFO] calendar+todo: inactive
[INFO] calendar: inactive
[INFO] todo: inactive
[INFO] memo: inactive
[INFO] Server sending SAN
Local data changes to be applied remotely during synchronization:
*** addressbook ***
Comparison was impossible.
[INFO] addressbook: started
[INFO] addressbook: inactive
Synchronization successful.

Data modified locally during synchronization:
*** addressbook ***
Comparison was impossible.
What does it mean "Comparison was impossible."?
Before starting a sync it means that no previous database dump for
"addressbook" was found: either there was no previous session, it did
not involve addressbook, or dumping failed.
Such a dump is normally created automatically, so after a sync there
should be one. It could be that the Akonadi source does not implement
this optional behavior. I'll check the source and report back...
Furthermore, data is not changed
after modifications and a new sync. That might be related to the message
above...
No, that's unrelated. Changed where? On the phone or Akonadi?
Another minor issue is that the picture of a contact is not
transfered...
Please run with increased loglevel=4 (just add that to the command
line), and then check in the log files in ~/.cache/syncevolution where
PHOTO data is lost resp. available.
BTW, is there a possibility to see directly which items have been
changed
how? Locally AND on the cell phone.
Locally the data comparison (once it works) will give you something like
that, in a format similar to diff. For remote changes only the
statistics above are available.
Another comment concerning the help messages: When typing
"syncevolution --
sync ?" to get the different possibilities for sync modes, the descriptions
refresh-from-client = discard all remote items and replace with
the items on the client
refresh-from-server = discard all local items and replace with
the items on the server
are a little bit confusing for the case of synchronisation with a cell
phone. Here, client is the (remote) cell phone, and server is the (local)
PC. So roles have changed compared to the synchronisation with a network
server.
You are right. I always wanted to introduce more generic names, but
never had the time and also no good idea for the names:
refresh-from-peer is fairly straight-forward, but the other direction
isn't. refresh-the-peer/refresh-from-local?
