Astrid powerpack won't sync with google tasks

[Elena Y]

Hi all,
Just purcashed the power pack but the app is failing to fully sync
with google tasks. It did it once but has not done it since. Help?
Thanks,
E

I just read about Astrid on Lifehacker.com as one of the best android
todo apps. I jumped in headfirst and downloaded the powerpack and the
locale pack. I'm trying to sync with google tasks as I sync my
exchange tasks with google tasks using gsyncit. I don't want to manage
tasks in multiple places.

It seems Astrid doesn't look at the google tasks view... as when I add
a task in outlook, sync to google tasks, it doesn't show up in Astrid.
Only something created in Astrid or through gmail is shown on Astrid.

Hi Elena,

do you get any error message?

For some of our users, logging out and back in to GoogleTasks from within Astrid helped.

Does that help for you, too?

Hello Joseph,

as we have no experience using gsyncit, I am unable right now to tell you the cause of this.

As for the technical background on sync with GTasks, every time you start the sync between Astrid and GTasks, it only requests changes for the time since the last successful sync (to save network-traffic). So it seems, that GTasks doesnt report the new task from gsyncit/Exchange to Astrid because its timestamp might be wrong.

Please check your time-settings of your Exchange-server/gsyncit-server (or consult your admin) and check the timezone-setting of your GTasks-account and your Astrid-phone to be correct.

If its correct or doesnt help, you could also try logging out and back in to GTasks from within Astrid to see if this helps syncing in the new tasks from gsyncit.

The reason for this would be, that Astrid does a full sync of every task after a fresh login since it doesnt have a timestamp of the last successful sync anymore.

Hope this helps,

Arne
