Disappearing contacts from Android Contacts... is Gemini to blame

[truthsword]

Problem scope

• I'm sure that this is a DAVx⁵ problem.

App version

• I'm using the latest available DAVx⁵ version.

Android version and device/firmware type

Android 14

Steps to reproduce

Within hours of contact sync with my CardDAV server, my contacts are not present on the phone

Actual result

Within hours of contact sync with my CardDAV server, my contacts are not present on the phone

Expected result

Contacts remain present

Further info

When this happens I force sync and the contacts reappear. This just started over the past week. Coincidentally when I switch from Google Assistant to Gemini.

Any other?

Hello,

Noticed the same problem here for both contacts and calendars.

This does not seem to be a sync problem but a display problem in android apps.

I noticed the problem started two days ago, which matches with last update to 4.4.4 version if that helps !

With calendars too?

Otherwise I'd say this is probably a duplicate of #1179. But it only affects 4.4.5-beta from Google Play. Do you have 4.4.5(-beta) from Google Play?

We will shortly release a new beta version in Google Play which should fix that problem.

We've just released Beta 4.4.5-beta2 in the Beta channel on Google Play which should solve the problem with the ever disappearing address books. If you can please update to this version and check if everything is working again as expected. Thank you for your help!

Switching back to Google Assistant did not resolve. So I can rule out Gemini as contributor.

This does not seem to be a sync problem but a display problem in android apps.

I'm pretty sure sync is involved, as manually resyncing takes more time than a repeat back to back sync.

Just installed. We will see. This is a bit nightmarish as family members don't interact with DAVx5.

The issue reported here should be solved with the latest beta version. It was never live in our production version. Do your family members have a beta version?

After 24+ hours, all seems stable again with the beta2.
