Confirm on XA2.
Google account added, set to only sync the calendar (no Contacts or E-mail), automatically.
It’s never syncing automatically, only when the Calendar app is opened, or when I trigger a sync from the account settings.
Ps: this is not version specific, it has always been like this since I installed Sailfish on the XA2 a year ago.

Problem still there in 4.4.0.58

Thanks for checking this again on 4.4.0. I’ve created an internal issue about it.

I just want to double check to be absolutely certain: the sync works without any obvious error if you perform it manually?

#5

If I open the Calendar app or sync manually then the sync works fine.

Thanks for the clarification. That’s very helpful as it narrows down where the issue may be caused (probably related to buteo-sync-plugins-social, in case that’s of interest).

Problem is still there in 4.5.0.16 and looks like it’s gotten worse. Now there’s no sync on Calendar app opening and only manual sync works. I’ve had several embarrassing moments with clients because I have trusted my phone…
