Using a LocalAccount on Android and contacts are stored only locally.
(no contacts added to the gmail account)
Issues with sync:
1.EPIM Android cannot find Local Account
2. In the setting for PC sync - there is NO option for sync to phone / EPIM on the phone - defaults to EPIM on the phone.
3.Have tried with and without an EPIM account in the contacts - does not work either way.
Would like to sync with the Local Account on the phone.
Any suggestions / updates?
Android 8.1.0
EPIM Android 5.5
EPIM Windows 8.0

Re: EPIM Android cannot find Local Account
Please tap on the "Synchronize contacts with" option in PC Sync settings, which accounts are listed and chosen?

Re: EPIM Android cannot find Local Account
Only EssentialPIM contacts. No other option is shown - even if I haven't checked 'Use EPIM system account'
I have been using the sync with device / local account for many versions of EPIM.
I remember that there was a 5.4 Android EPIM update which made this disappear.
Had posted this issue on the forum and later corresponded via email.
This was fixed in a subsequent update.

Perhaps the current update has a similar issue?

Re: EPIM Android cannot find Local Account
Please mention your phone make and model. It seems EPIM is somehow unable to find the phone's local account on your device.

As already mentioned, there was a 5.4 Android EPIM update with a similar issue on a different phone.

So the QA team + developers may want to consider that it may not be a phone specific issue.

Re: EPIM Android cannot find Local Account
The feature was intentionally removed from the 5.4 version. We decided to bring it back in the later versions, though.
As a workaround while we're trying to get an Asus phone, you can sync directly with EPIM contacts.

Re: EPIM Android cannot find Local Account
Thanks for your response.
My preferred sync choice is only with the local contact account.
Will hold off on using EPIM sync until the EPIM developer team can address this issue.
