TASK Sync Issues in v1.8.12 Android

[RedFrog]

Hi

Phone: Samsung A30
Type of connection: USB
Windows version: Win10
Firmware: Android 9

Problem:

I'm having problems with Task syncronisation:
- upgraded to 1.8.12 from 1.8.11 several days ago
- sync'ing fine before
- the sync is simply not happening between the phone and PC, i.e. I make a change in either and there is no overwrite either way, the Tasks just remain the same
- also , if I create a new Task on the PC it might turn up on the Phone or might not and sometimes if I edit that new Task on the phone it might sync properly, and the other way around too!
- also, sometimes upon creating a new Task on the PC, upon sync'ing it creates a duplicate (same) Task on the PC
- Also, on the PC, the Task delete function is erratic, that is if you check the Task with a red "X" and then either "Syncronise Organiser" or Multi-Sync it may or may not delete the Task

I actually just set up this new Samsung A30 as a replacement phone.

So, I did a Backup from my old phone and used that as the basis for setting up the new one albeit by way of separate folder in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming.

But, I kept the old phone data under the original folder name in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming.

Hence, it was possible to switch back and forth from the "new" User/phone and old one via "User" at the bottom left side bar in MPE.

Anyway, I removed the old folder and it seems to have helped with this Task sync'ing issue.

I'll play a bit more with it and post an update ...

... after a little more playing after this, the issue abated for maybe half an hour and is now back again!

A few of us can no longer sync. It looks like the latest Android MPE client (1.0.66) is broken.

Is there a way to downgrade until it's fixed?

[RedFrog]

Yup - scrolling thru various posts back thru June it looks like similar issues by various users.

Big issue for me, and I'd say others, as I uses Tasks intensively in my business and I've lost some data as a result.

Have used MPE for years (!) and always "bullet proof".

Hope to see it rectified soon.

Hmmmm...

I have exactly the same issue....MPE has worked very well for me over the years, however in recent days issues have arisen:

1. new tasks in the phone no longer sync to Outlook

2. I have noticed some kind of corruption in the data whereby different tasks / calendar items appear to be mixed up - i.e. MPE thinks they are the same task, however they are not. This has led to the loss of some data.


I upgraded to the latest version of MPE, deleted all my data o nphone and PC and started again from scratch - however the same issues apply, meanign the software no longer works for me.

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks

Same for me, have tried to solve this problem repeatedly, nothing works. And as someone else mentioned, I have also lost data.

I really love this software, so I really hope there is a fix.
