Internal Calendar Storage Items Missing After *.ics Import

[polaris82]

Hi there,

I've a big problem with my brand new Huawei P30 Pro. Like my Xiaomi phone before I wanna sync my CalDAV data from Posteo with my internal phone calendar storage. I'm using DavX5, however I tried also other Dav-Sync Apps. I'm not using the Google calendar in any way.

After syncing the data some of my calendar items are missing (200 of 600). This happens also when I locally import my *.ics data with Business Calendar 2, so Posteo cannot be the reason for the problem. After the import a message shows me everything went fine, no lost items. However after starting my Calendar App once again 30% of items are missing. I've tried deleting cache of calendar storage, deactivating other calendar apps, was checking the *.ics file and shrink it down to the minimal requirement size/fileds necessary for working...

I can do the same procedure with my old Xiaomi and it works fine. But not on my Huawei. My suggestion: There is something wrong with the internal calendar storage or handling of this data.

Any ideas what could be the problem? Otherwise I have to sell this nice phone :-/

Best, Gunnar

I think your best option is to contact the developer for assistance

 

[polaris82]

You mean Huawei? Because I can exclude the calendar app and the sync app (tested with different apps and same problem)

And I validated the *.ics file by https://icalendar.org/validator.html - only a few warning because line length throw out, due to the Mozilla Lightning export routine.

It affects all internal calendars, so each local calendar you create too.

Is there a bug report forum from Huawei?

No, I meant the app developer because the app may not support your newer device or its OS.

 

[polaris82]

That isn't clear for me. If using different apps results in same error, then it seems not a problem of all the apps. Btw. the Huawei calendar app also dosn't show some of my calendar items. So it seems a problem of syncing by DavX5, but a local *.ics import result in the same problem of missing items... imo only the OS can be the problem. Or I misunderstood the calendar storage layer.

SO are you saying your old Xiaomi and the Huawei are running on the same version of Android? I had assumed they weren't as the Xiaomi is older.

 

[polaris82]

You were right, the Xiaomi has an older Android 7, the Huawei Android 9. Maybe my speaking isn't clear enough: Your recommendation is to ask the app developer. Which app you mean? Because all apps show that missing calendar items... because they all are accessing the internal storage, so my assumption is an bug in that central part of Android/EMUI (internal storage).

Right now I tested it with importing a single day with 17 items. Only 12 of them imported successfully. I tried with Google Web interface, that has successfully imported all 17 items. But after sync with the new phone it stated 17 successful items, however only 12 can be seen in three tested calendar apps (Huawei, aCalendar, Business Calendar).

Maybe there is a limitation of 12 items per day in Android 9? Can't imagine... :-/

 

[polaris82]

I still have the hope that it is just a ridiculous and stupid mistake by myself ;-)

However thanks for trying to help to me!

 

[anon(10614692)]

I was thinking maybe a word with Posteo or Business Calendar 2 could address or rule out whether the latest OS is the issue. Also it may be an idea to see if there are support forums for these apps

 

[polaris82]

Now I've made a full smartphone reset: After a fresh EMUI 9.1.0.178 I only synced my Google Calendar. Result: Some entries missing, some successfully synced. Before I imported a small *.ics file to my Google calendar via the Web-App, also successfully. So, it seems Posteo or Business Calendar 2 are not the problem... there is something more deeper problem :-/

 

[polaris82]

Final question before the phone will sold Does anyone else have trouble with partly missing calendar items after sync from Google or somewhere else? It seems the problem appears more frequently with many items per day (15+) and with long summary entries (3+ lines) containing specials signs (umlauts etc.). I can reproduce the problem with a single day item list, imported into Google via *.ics file.

Is it possible that I've got a faulty smartphone, that just need to be interchanged by the seller to remove my problem? Because the problem still appears after a complete phone reset, reproduced with Google sync only and very basic calendar items...

Regards, Gunnar

 

[polaris82]

Impossible for me to import the following *.ics calendar file in my P30 Pro (*.178 firmware) calendar storage with any tool or service. It's a valid file. Some items can be imported, but many of the 17 items will be missing after import.

Would be nice to see whether it works for anyone else.
