I haven't turned anything on or off on the phone.
Do you have an Android phone?
I have been advised that I should go to Settings=>Advanced on the phone,
but there is no such item on my phone in the Settings menu.
(The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2, running Android 2.3.3 .)
I'm running the application Funambol Sync .

For some reason, keeping contacts under Fedora/KDE is a nightmare for me.
I want to have one contacts list which I can reach on any computer,
so I keeping my contacts under OpenLDAP on my server.
If there is an alternative I would be interested to hear of it.

Sadly, Windows scores 9/10 in this area, while Fedora scores 1/10 .
