White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
Running Version 1.3 of the app on MIUI Android 2.3 on an HTC HD2.
Functionality is perfect, Calendar and Contacts sync'ed OK but the background to many, but not all, of the screens is white rather than black so text is almost impossible to read. Screenshot attached.

Re: White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
There's something wrong with how MIUI on HTC HD renders background. Please change the theme to another one and you should be good to go. Thanks!

Re: White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
Rather than changing the theme I found another fix for white on white and switched off Compatability Mode for the app. Text is now Black on white and I'm happy.
Re: White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
No, I'm not. The next PC Sync wiped out all the entries in the PC Calendar and the Android Calendar is now blank as well. Off to restore from backups...

Re: White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
Are you synchronizing your database with more than 1 device?

Re: White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
Only one Android device.
I'm using EPIM Free so it syncs both ways - possibly soon to be upgraded to Pro to get one way sync
Phone Calendar is sync'ed with Gmail Calendar but only on request - I think.
Syncing with EPIM PC first time put new entries into Phone Calendar.
The phone contacts appeared on EPIM PC
I then added a task on the phone.
Syncing with EPIM PC second time appeared to delete all items from Phone Calendar and definitely deleted all from PC EPIM Calendar, however the task on the phone had become a ToDo on the PC and the Contacts from the phone were still on the PC. ALL the Calendar entries had vanished from the PC.
When I explicitly resync'ed with Gmail Calendar on the phone the Phone Calendar entries re-appeared.
Restored EPIM PC from backup.
Normality restored.
As this doesn't seem to make sense I will try to do the same thing again sometime today making notes and double checking.
Just seen the "Remove items deleted on one side from the opposite side" option - perhaps this should be OFF by default?

Re: White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
Some of my contacts in EPIM PC have an ampersand in their first name, for example "Graeme & Kate" , "Michael & Carol" and these get reduced to "Graeme " and "Michael " with trailing space during the transfer to Android Calendar and then return to the PC as the shortened form.
There is also now a Contact on the PC which seems to be a mixture of two Android Contacts, with the firstname from one entry and the lastname from a different entry. Perhaps the ampersands are throwing the XML parsing?
<edit>
I'm still finding anomalies...I have a ToDo list entry which is "Bandview - Previous months=now <> This month" on the PC. Once it has gone over to Android it becomes "Bandview - Previous months=now" and then this gets transfered back to the PC as "Bandview - Previous months=now", so on the PC I have two different ToDos and on Android I have two identical To Dos where there should only be one.

Re: White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
John, regarding the problem with items being moved into trash can. We're going to release a new version of EPIM for Windows (5.01) in the beginning of next week and this issue will be fixed in it.
I tried to check the anomalies you mentioned on our side but it worked without any issues. Please update to the latest app version 1.3.1 and check again. Thanks.

Re: White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
1.3.1 was not good for me. I get a Force Close every time I try to PC Sync. CatLog attached.
Perhaps it is the MIUI build that is faulty as I seem to just find one problem after another. Sorry.

Re: White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
Then suddenly I'm on 1.3.2 and its working again. Thanks.
I still have the ampersand problem. Create a contact on the PC called "Jack & Jill" "Wentupahill" with a phone number and sync the devices. The contact created on the phone is "Jack " "Wentupahill" or at least it is on the MIUI Contacts app.

Re: White Background on MIUI Android 2.3
Thanks for the additional info, we were finally able to reproduce the issue with the ampersand symbol in contacts on Android 2.3x. Will fix.
Update: the issue with to dos was also reproduced. Thanks!

5.0.1 on the PC gave an error when opening the Tools / Options / Synchronisation / Edit Dialog. Reverting to 5.0.0.

Confirm this minor problem for EssentialPIM Free (will not affect the synchronization process). Will fix.
