Here the same problem with syncevolution and evolution.

This patch fixes alarm sync on Android 2.2 (HTC Desire) with Synthesis 
SyncML client.

Since this is the only (non-google) syncml client with calendar 
support known on Android right now, this patch seems important (and 
doesn't break anything else)

Please add it if not already done on next minor release cycle ...

The patch. Sorry

I used this patch and it works fine, but after that I realized that 
alarms doesn't sync properly with outlook (SyncML).

I attach a patch to solve solve

Because of Ticket #7470 is pending i have modified the driver patch to 
support sunbird/mozilla alarm dismissal only. Snozze is not 
implemented yet. This patch works fine for me, please test it for you.

Another patch for VALARM support.

Okay - this isn't a duplicate in a traditional sense, but since #7470 
includes this patch, I'm closing this in favor of the more 
comprehensive patch.

For everyone following this bug, I've posted a more complete patch 
including Sunbird/Lightning dismiss and snooze here:

http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7470/



Please let me know if it helps.

I'll take a look into this, facing this too.

I can add, update, and remove alarms from Lightning and Sunbird thanks 
to your patch, that is not the problem.  The problem is that Lightning 
or Sunbird continuously reminds me of past alarms after I have 
dismissed them.  I have even disabled the preference option in 
Lightning to remind me of passed events and yet passed events with 
alarms are still being reminded.

Hm. Tried it with Kontact and Thunderbird Lightning - adding, updating 
and removing alarms does work there, can you try some of these clients?

This patch works for me and allows me to set alarms from sunbird.   
However, after dismissing an alarm, it just re-appears after a few 
minutes or the next time I restart sunbird.

Made some patches to make this work, at least for duration value.

description and action are only "set", no parsing done here (display, 
audio) etc..

Addressed only display action + trigger. Works fine here, valarm 
trigger can be set and updated.

I prioritized this as 'high' because data is lost when publishing 
events to the WebDAV interface.



Kronolith does not do anything with the 'VALARM' field of iCalendar 
files.  This results in alarms not being saved in the database, and 
reminders data being lost when published to the WebDAV interface from 
iCal compliant clients.  It currently looks for 'AALARM' (part of the 
vCal spec), but I think it would be greatly beneficial to look for 
'VALARM' (part of the iCal spec) as well.  It looked like the files 
that would need to be patched are as follows (though there may be 
others):



kronolith/lib/Driver.php

lib/Horde/iCalendar.php
