    Bug: Deja does not properly update contacts in AdressBook

    It seems that Deja does not properly synchronize contacts in the AdressBook (Samsung Galaxy Note II):

    if I edit or delete a contact from deja it is properly edited or deleted in the adress-book, but
    if I make a contact private or change the category to one that shoud not be soncronized with the adress-book then the contact is still visible there. If I try to delete the contacts there, android tells me, they can only be hidden.
    Restarting the phone, deactivating and reactivating the phonebook-sync and resyncing with outlook did not solve the problem.

    oh, I foud part of a solution myself:
    1. sync the phone to remote to have an actual backup
    2. set up one-direction-sync in comagnionlink to make sure the phone does not delete anything on remote.
    3. go to deja options > sync settings
    there at the bottom you find "delete android contacts"
    4. by clicking there come these incredible big icon filling twice the screen (google in my case).
    if cou slide this icon up then you can see the deja icon. click this icon.
    5. accept the warning that you could also delete google-acount data and remote exchange data (you should have a backup of them!)
    then the android contacts are synced correctly.

    unfortunately you have to do this every time you change a category or private function in a way that a contact should dissappear from android contacts.

    for sure some people might like to sync the android contacts with google or another remote and therefore it might be critical if contacts are missing afterwards, but deja could promt the user whether to delete the contact from android contacts if a deja-contact is edited as descibed above.
