Hello all,
I've run into a strange problem. I have an iphone running ios 10.3.3.
In horde I have my family contacts setup in a separate address book,
and those contacts sync to my iphone. On the iphone, I set these
contacts up with a specific ring and text tone. I use the iphone do
not disturb feature that is set from 11pm to 7am. My contacts, are
also set up with Emergency Bypass on. That way, not matter what time
of day, their calls and texts will always come through.
The issue I have is that a some time, this setting is being removed.
I can't point to a specific time after I have set them that this has
happened. The first time this happened, I thought maybe I had done
something to cause it. So, I set them up again, with the same results
after some amount of time. The third time this happened, I set them
up to bypass again, and also set some contacts that are synced with my
company's exchange server that way as well. Again, after some amount
of time, the horde contacts were reverted, but the exchange ones
weren't. Set the horde contacts up for a fourth
time.
This weekend, I missed a text from my son about an incident, and sure
enough the bypass settings had been reset for my horde contacts. I
looked at the contacts that I set from the exchange server, and they
still had not been reset. So to me, this is pointing to something
that is being done with horde. There's nothing scientific with what I
did, and I can't prove 100% that it's something in horde, but I can
state that the exchange contacts keep their settings, and the horde
contacts don't.
Does anyone else use this IOS feature with contacts synced with horde?
If no, could/would someone please set it up, and try to duplicate
what I am seeing? Again, I can't tell you how long the settings will
stick, but if you see the same as I, at some time, those settings will
be removed.
I could provide a sync log, but I don't know if there would be
anything in it to tell you why it all of a sudden reverts back.
I'm up for other ideas as well. My horde setup uses horde, imp, ingo,
turba, kronolith, nag, mnemo, gollem, and trean, all up to date.
Thank you,
John
