Feedback on DO 2.3.0 BETA (352)

[MG111]

Hallo,

has anybody already tested this new beta? I'm unsure whether to upgrade because of this message:

http://www.dejaoffice.com/forums/showthread.php?2515-DO-2-3-0-BETA-%28352%29-contacts-list-view-crashes

Maybe somebody could do this test with 2.3.0:

I want to know too

[MG111]

Seems nobody want's to change the (quite good) running system 2.1.11. ;-)

@DO-Team: A reply to ProTel-BS's thread (see links above) could motivate ... (reproduveable - fix?, not reproduceable ...)

Yes... too afraid and because I already have other difficulties with 2.1.11 !

Been using 2.3.0 Beta from the morning it became available. The only issue I have is now all the icons are a deep shade of blue. Everything else is working fine.

[MG111]

I'm glad to hear, it's working well. Could you please do this very short test regarding recurring tasks:

http://www.dejaoffice.com/forums/sho...m-time&p=11535,

1.) Create recurring task (in the past) start 9/30, end 9/30, alarm 9/30 10am, recurring each month per date
2.) Save
3.) Alarm pops up.
4.) Complete task
5.) New task is start 10/30, end 10/30, alarm 10/30 10am

6.) Click on "edit" - alarm is shown 10/30 9am (?!?!?)


Many thanks,

Michael

I've been using 2.3.0(beta) since 3-October.

I used the new function in Sync Settings to delete contacts from the native Contacts app.
Then, I set native Contacts "Display Options" to display all the contacts in the DJO account.
So far, that seems to be working well, and I have not experienced any problems with syncing either to or from Outlook.

I have a suspicion that there is a problem with missing alarms on recurring meetings, but I haven't had the time to do an exhaustive test.

I tried a few times today to reproduce MG111's issue, but was not able to do it -- the alarm start time was always 10:00.

How did you do this? I can't find any setting like this in my phone ...

In Android Kontakte, drücke Optionen und wähle Anzeigen. Hier kannst Du unten bei den Optionen die accounts auswählen die angezeigt werden sollen.

[GrandWazoo]

Contacts app
(Menu key)
More
Display options

under "Select contacts to display" press DejaOffice
Tick the checkbox for "All contacts"

A side effect of this is that there are no contacts physically in my native Contacts app any more. Therefore, my carrier's automatic nightly backup capability does not have anything to replicate up into their cloud. Which is fine with me, I don't want my contact data in anyone's cloud. But I should be more diligent about making periodic backups of my Outlook database, though.

[MG111]

I don't have any of the menu items you both described ...

Contacts app - "settings" (Einstellungen) - opens Android Einstellungen - "Konten & Synchr." (accounts & sync) ...

Maybe a problem of SonyEricsson branding ... ?!

BUT, I've found out that contacts of all accounts are being displayed in the contacts app anyway ...

@MG111, you have Android 2.3.3, but McLion has 2.3.5 and I have 2.3.6.
Perhaps that explains the differences in the contact settings.

Alarm Notifications is a an area we are testing in house and working on. Look for improvements over time with this one.
