I thought about that, but the Active is a MAJOR setback in other areas; no LTE, 8MP camera (and fewer camera modes) vs 16MP, STFT instead of AMOLED screen, 16BG only, almost half of which is taken up by software you can't remove... > As for the rest, you need DAV support, basically, and CalDAV exists. > Oh, and icalSync2 just showed up in the market; it says it can > sync your calendar with an ical file available through HTTPS, > FTP, or WebDAV. > Hmm. I'm already running ownCloud (http://owncloud.org/) on my server which has CalDAV and CardDAV. If I can get *that* working that would be fantastic, because I could sync whenever I want, and have access to the same cal/contacts from any browser! I'm not currently using the contacts from there, but I am using the calendar for the family calendar. http://doc.owncloud.org/server/5.0/user_manual/pim/calendar.html http://doc.owncloud.org/server/5.0/user_manual/pim/contacts.html For Contacts, they say Install cardDav- Sync free from Google play store by visiting this link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.dmfs.carddav.sync I'm a little fuzzy on how CalDav and CardDAV work, so I've never used them (well I tried getting the calendar to sync on my iPhone but it never worked). - When using CalDAV, is the calendar stored locally and synced when I say, pr must I have internet access to read the calendar from the server all the time? - How does one deal with field alignment, of one calendar (or address book) has fields the other doesn't or they're named differently? Thanks!
