You may encounter the problem that all your DAVdroid accounts (including contacts and events) are gone after rebooting your device. The reason is a bug in Android that causes accounts of paid apps to be removed on start-up because the (encrypted) APK files are loaded after checking for orphaned accounts.
Affected users:
* all Android 4.1 users who have got DAVdroid from Play Store;
* Android 4.2 users who have got DAVdroid from Play Store only with certain devices (for instance, most Samsung devices)
* maybe other users (LG G3 Android 4.4.2 for instance)
You may encounter the problem that all your DAVdroid accounts (including contacts and events) when Play Store updates DAVdroid. The reason is another bug in Android that causes accounts of paid apps to be removed when upgrading for a similar reason.
Affected users: some Android 4.4.2 users who have got DAVdroid from Play Store (known for Nexus devices and Moto G)
If you\'re affected by one of these bugs, please install the DAVdroid JB Workaround.
]]>DAVdroid is an Android 4+ sync adapter for CalDAV/CardDAV. To use it, just add a DAVdroid account for your CalDAV/CardDAV server and your contacts/events/tasks will be synchronized in both directions. For more information, please see the DAVdroid homepage. There\'s a setup guide, too. DAVdroid respects your privacy, see our privacy policy.
In case of problems, check the frequently asked questions first. To get assistance or discuss about DAVdroid-related topics, have a look in our DAVdroid forums. Please do not blackmail us with bad ratings in the stores (it\'s futile and discouraging for both sides).
If you use a privacy guard (default in CyanogenMod), please remember you have to allow contact and calendar access for DAVdroid.
DAVdroid is designed to be an open-source project from the very first beginning. It is always possible to compile the app yourself and use it for free without any obligations. The source code is available, and you can download the app on F-Droid.
However, it was much work to create this app, so we have decided to put it into the commercial stores for a small fee. If you have downloaded the app on F-Droid, please consider donating to DAVdroid.

Because of an Android bug, the Tasks app must be installed before installing DAVdroid (otherwise, DAVdroid can\'t get the permission to access the tasks provider).
If you want tasks to be synchronized:
1. Install the Tasks app.
2. Re-install DAVdroid (to gain tasks access permission). Uninstalling DAVdroid will discard your DAVdroid accounts and unsynchronized data.
3. Add your DAVdroid account again.
Otherwise, you may skip this step.
