1 year ago Hm, I can't reproduce this behavior.
I tried reproducing this by creating a contact using the default contacts app on my phone similar to your description above. Ie, I left the name fields blank and only filled out the company, phone and location fields. I don't have an "address" field when creating a contact, only "location".
I manually synced my contacts using the etesync android app and then looked at the contact on my linux PC. The contact there looks exactly as I created it. Looking at the transaction entry in the etesync app, it also looks as expected. This is the raw data stored in etesync:
BEGIN:VCARD

PRODID:-//EteSync//com.etesync.syncadapter/2.4.3 ez-vcard/0.11.2

;;

END:VCARD- Could you try creating a contact using another app or device?
- Could you check what's stored in etesync? You can do that via the android app or the web client. App: go to your account, tap the name of your contacts address book to see the change journal, then tap on the change which corresponds to the new contact. There you can see the vcard, raw format etc.
You could also create a testing non-etesync-backed contact in the way that would break your etesync sync, and then export it as a vcard file and upload it here. Then others could try importing/inspect it to see if your contacts app maybe produces a contact which etesync somehow cant parse.

=======
I have encountered an issue where Etesync is altering my contacts and screwing up address book organization and addresses.
The first part of the issue I noticed was how Etesync copies the business/company/organization to fill in the first/middle/last names (which are intentionally blank).
The second part of the issue is that Etesync is taking the address and corrupting/malforming it.
Example, lets say I create a contact for XYZ Medical Center
The contact I enter: First name: [blank] Middle name: [blank] Last name: [blank] Company: XYZ Medical Center Phone: 123.456.7890 Address: 123 John Doe Dr City: Tampa State: Florida Zip code: 12345
What Etesync does and screws up my address book on my devices: First name: XYZ Middle name: Medical Last name: Center Company: XYZ Medical Center Phone: 123.456.7890 Address: [blank] PO Box: 123 John Doe Dr,Tampa,Florida,12345 City: [blank] State: [blank] Zip code: [blank]
This is not acceptable for multiple reasons.
I am running stock on Pixel 6A (latest update). I have tried multiple contact apps and the Etesync WebApp to correct things and Etesync keeps screwing things up.
I know it has to be Etesync since I can edit the contacts and things will work just fine until the next sync. Also, if I use other options like DecSync, there is no issue. The issue only exists when Etesync is involved.
What is going on? What can be done to fix this?
Thank you
