EPIM sync with Android phone app recurring tasks are wrong

Post by ronkral »

I gave up trying to sync EPIM to Google (internet) and then to my Android phone.
It creates extra event types of the same name, recurring events do not sync
properly - the sync is essentially useless.

I was excited :D by the new EPIM Android APP hoping that the problems would be solved.

Well, they aren't.

I set it up to sync my EPIM PC calendar directly to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone.
All the PC events transfer correctly EXCEPT the recurring events which are an hour off.
I can't understand why this is such a problem. The initial bug report was answered
by "recurring events are incompatible with Google Calendar interface". However, NOW you
should be going directly to the phone.. Why would the event show up in EPIM at 10:00 AM
and on the phone at 11:00 AM? Only the recurring events are wrong. I have it set up as
a one-way sync from EPIM to the phone. I've upgraded to 5.1 and now to 5.2 and still
the problem remains. :x

Any chance this problem can/will/ever be solved??? One of the primary reasons I bought
EPIM in the first place was your glowing advertisements about Google synchronization.
It's only AFTER I get the product and actually TRY to implement it that the issues come
to light...

I'm TERRIFIED of trying a both-ways synchronization - GOK what will happen to my calendars
in EPIM if I try to add or change something on my phone.

I assume you have identical timezone settings as on your phone as on your PC? If yes, what would be the recurrence pattern for an appointment that gets into Android with incorrect start time?

I think I have almost the same issue. I've developped it here:
