[horde] Samsung S4 Contacts ActiveSync issues

OK, now that I am doing more serious ActiveSync testing on the S4... I  
have discovered some issues.

Initial partnership and server -> S4 sync seems to work OK. The device  
successfully pulls down 367 contacts, emails for the one month period,  
and calendar entries.

Creating an appointment on the S4 syncs to the server almost  
instantly, although a strange item shows in the logs that I can't  
paste in here as it just doesn't display. I can send you the logs  
Mike, it shows as NUL (white text black background) in Notepad++.

However contacts from device to server are a problem. I created a new  
contact on the S4, named Another Atest. It is saved locally on the S4.  
60 minutes later, still nothing through AS. I did a manual "Sync Now"  
(Setup / Accounts / Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync /  
simon at simonandkate.net / Sync Now) after one hour from the S4, and it  
then sync'ed to the server. During that hour there is sync chat  
between the server and the device (I have the logs), but the new  
contact is not sync'ed.

Server-side changes sync through to the S4 almost immediately.

A new contact on iPad works fine, syncing up almost immediately.

Then I deleted TWO contacts on the iPad, one that had been created on  
the iPad, the other one Another Atest that was created on the S4. The  
iPad deletions synced through to Turba almost immediately, both  
disappearing. It then sync'ed with the S4:

And only ONE of them is removed from the S4. The one that is not  
removed is the one that was created on the S4, and took an hour to sync.


So contacts are pretty much impossible to keep current on the S4 at  
the moment.

I can open a bug and attach the various logs if you want?

Simon.
