I don't want to use dropbox and at present cannot set up my own SSH or WebDAV server; I'm happy to use the SD card for syncing. Following the directions at https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/wiki/Documentation I have the desired org files on my desktop syncing to MobileOrg on the phone just fine. I also have items syncing with my phone's calendar. This is all most excellent. I have created some captured items with MobileOrg, have used it to change the TODO state of extant items, and have created new child nodes with it, too. (So, I've been able to create changes on the phone in multiple ways that I would expect to be brought over to the desktop by syncing.) However, when I mount the phone's SD card and run M-x org-mobile-pull, I get the message "No new items." As far as I can figure out, I've done what I ought to do to bring changes from MobileOrg to my desktop. I by no means, however, exclude the possibility that I am doing something daft. Any pointers for how I can further investigate the issue? Some relevant details: My phone is a Samsung GT-B7510 running Android 2.2.2. I have MobileOrg version 0.8.5 installed. M-x emacs-version yields: GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2010-12-11 on brahms, modified by Debian M-x org-version yields: Org-mode version 7.8.08 My .emacs contains the following: (setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull "/home/brian/docs/org/from-mobile.org") (setq org-mobile-directory "/media/ANDROIDSD/mobileorg") All other values revealed by M-x customize-group org-mobile are at their default settings. Relevant MobileOrg settings on the phone are: Synchronizarion Mode: SDCard Index Path: /sdcard/mobileorg/index.org Background Sync is disabled I have tried running org-mobile-pull both with and without an empty file /home/brian/docs/org/from-mobile.org (with read and write permissions) present. I have also tried with a filename lacking the `-' character. For sake of completeness, I did try enabling background sync and waiting for it to run before mounting the SD card and running M-x org-mobile-pull. One other possibly relevant fact: I've put the MobilOrg TODO widget on my phone's desktop. On rebooting the phone, it displays something like `Widget text' (it flashes by pretty quick), and otherwise never displays anything. Clicking on it serves only to take me directly to the MobileOrg capture interface. Thanks for any suggestions, Brian vdB
