Incomplete synced contacts under Tb 17.x and Jelly Bean
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 3:12 pm
Hi all !
I use a Samsung Mini III running Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2. My Tb is v17.0.2 along with the appropriated BirdieSync.
I read a great deal of what is posted on the Forum for/by Android users because I recently migrate from a s--- Win Mobile 6 system on HTC to Android on Samsung.
I could not find an answer to what I observe, as described below.
My 2 calendars and all my 2800+ contacts synchronize (almost) flawlessly both ways. I am delighted by it.
However, I see that although the Title and Organization fields in my Tb contacts cards are synchronized into Jelly Beans, it is NOT the case in reverse.
If I fill in the 2 fields under "Organization" in Jelly Bean with for instance:
- (1st) the contact's title and
- (2nd - on the field below) the organization,
it doesn't show up in Tb after syncing.
Additionally and curiously, if there already exists a title and organization on the Jelly Bean contact card and one fills in anew the title and organization fields in Tb, they are indeed synchronized and 2 new fields appear in Jelly Bean under the two previously existing ones !
I know that curiosity killed the cat a long time ago, but I'd like to know the reason for such a quirky behavior and whether there is a work-around or a fix in the pipeline...
The fact that nothing of the organization or the role / title of the contacts entered first in Jelly Bean appears in Tb is verrrry inconvenient. To top it all there is no trace of a Department on the contact card in Jelly Bean, if that field is properly filled in in Tb.
Could BirdieSync concatenate that with a separation character (,) after the role/tile and sync it all with the first organization fill in Jelly Bean ?
Cheers and thanks to y' all as well as to the Birdie Team.
