missing sync time setting for tasks

[ikcalB]

Hi,

As I configure multiple phones in my family using DAVx, I just found out that on mine the sync interval for tasks setting is missing. See the following screenshot.

Did reinstall, was originally fresh install on a new phone: Galaxy A55
Did try tasks.org and switches back to jtx, if that is of any significance.

Let me know how to provide debug info if necessary.

Hi,

Tasks are part of CalDAV (VTODO) and so they are synchronized together with Calendars. The "Calendars sync. interval" will also determine when tasks are synchronized.

Hi,

That does not seem to be the case, because:
a) decreasing the calendar sync intervall to 15min does NOT seem to update tasks (testes with simultaneous cal and task changes on another device)
b) please have a look at the attached screenshot: third option from above translates to "task sync intervall"

Ah yes, of course. You are right. Sorry about that, got confused there for a moment.

Yes, that might help. You can send us the debug information via the support form on our website. There's also an explanation on how to create the debug information. Please mention this discussion in the message.

Exact same situation here on GrapheneOS with a Pixel 6a. Tell me if I can be of any help to investigate this issue.

I've read this already a few times now, but only from GrapheneOS users... It seems some kind of permissions are not granted or recognized by this Android version, and thus DAVx5 can't access the tasks as it should and then does not display the appropriate interval entry. If you go into Android settings / DAVx5 / Permissions there you'll most likley see that no permissions are given - and maybe they can't even be granted manually. Sometimes permission problems can also be solved if you reverse the order of installations like install Tasks apps before DAVx5, or vice versa.

I'm not sure how this can be debugged... I don't think we can see something inside DAVx5 logs, since the problem happens somehow outside of the app itself.
