Strange widget sync problem #109

Open leoditommaso opened 10 years ago

leoditommaso commented 10 years ago

When I add a task directly with the app in the phone (v1.0.12) it shows with no problem in the widget. But when adding any task from the Reminders app in my Mac it never gets displayed in the widget, although it syncs succesfully with the phone (I can see it and edit it with the Tasks app).

I tried deleting the Tasks app, even the Smooth sync app, rebooting the phone, reinstalling and reconfiguring them from scratch and still does not work. The only way I can get all my tasks synced both ways and displayed in the widget is creating them from the Tasks app in my phone.

Do the reminders you create on your Mac have a start date? At present the widget only shows tasks with no start date or a start date in the past. Could that be the reason?

I have just tried creating a task with no information (that means just the title) and it do work. I can the edit it with my phone and gets synced with the Mac Reminders app. There is no way to set a start date but a reminder date with the Mac app (which is shown as the due date in the Tasks app). If I do that (as you could see in the snapshot) then it never gets displayed in the widget until I remove the reminder date.

Looks like the Reminders app automatically sets start=due. I guess if you set a due date in the past it shows up, does it? We'll think about a solution.

leoditommaso commented 10 years ago

Yes, it does! That must be the problem then, I hope there is a simple solution for this. Let me know if you need that I do/test anything else.

Facing the same problem here. I would love to have options for what is displayed in the widget - it is tremendously useful!

Same problem here with tasks synced with DavDroid. If I remove the start time they appear in the widget.
