Again, an update:

...unfortunately I'm back to "buggy" now.
After a month working it's now again only syncing from the N9 to OC, and not vice verse. 

And the more I try to get it sorted, the more I think it's the N9/Meego to blame... sadly. :( 
Even deleting the CalDAV account on the N9 completely and adding it again, won't solve the issue.

At the moment the N9 is not pulling any CalDAV entries from the OC instance... maybe it's time to get a Galaxy... (Even though it's somehow Googlelized...)

just my 2 ct.

PS: Any android user here who are using their phone with OC ??? Would like to know what works, what does not... THX

Besides, in another post there were already a few valuable hints and links from Thomas Tanghus... ;)

>> But when I create an entry in OC and I initiate a sync it just will not appear on my N9. So i seems It works in one direction, but not in the other one. :(
>> 
>> So I thought, well... don't blame the guys from OC since they have done a real great job so far, and I reckoned the CalDAV installation (implementation?) on my Nokia N9 got messed up. 
>> Because the calendar (iCal) on my Laptop uses CalDav as well and it works...
>> 
>> Well, accordingly I reseted the N9, updated and even flashed the device, nothing. The problem remains. 
>> My N9 only sees entries that have been created on the phone. Neither those created in OC nor those created in iCal show up on my N9... (but of course hey show up in OC) :(
>> 
>> Well, I thought try another CalDAV service, just to verify that my N9 is causing the trouble, which I did... and voila: I works as it should.  In BOTH directions.
>> Well, I hate to say that, especially since I really love OC and you are doing a great job... but it seems that OC is causing the trouble.
>> 
>> What came to my mind was, that iCal uses this other webpath... the one with "principals" in it... well, so I tried this path on my N9 too. But when I watch the /var/log/apache2/ssl_access.log I see only the usual path /owncloud/remote.php/caldav/calendars/<MyUser>/default%20calendar/ being accessed. - While when I sync the calendar using iCal I see the path with "principals" being accessed. Could it be that the "principals" path gets redirected somehow? I running out of ideas... 
>> 
>> Just for clarification, I don't know for sure what is going wrong. But to me it seems that OC's CalDAV implementation is causing the problems, because the N9 does work as expected with an other CalDAV service.
>> 
>> 
>> Can ANYONE shed some light into this??? Maybe other N9 users, maybe those of you involved in implementing the CalDAV thingy in OC...?? I would really like to get that sorted. ANY help is appreciated.
