Thanks a lot, this helps, after I convert all the org file= s I have, then try Mobile org again, all the files could be decoded in Mobi= leOrg now.

Best,

Chao,

whenever mobileorg fails loading the file and converting it into an
UTF8 string, the error message about encoding is presented.

The cause of your problem can be many things:
=A0- the file is incorrectly recognised as encrypted
=A0- the file is incorrectly recognised as not-encrypted
=A0- the encoding is not utf-8 and there are offending bytes
=A0- the parsing of the index file fails somehow

To make sure utf-8 is all you do, evaluate (in .emacs e.g.):

(prefer-coding-system =A0 =A0 =A0 'utf-8)
(set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
(setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8)

Furthermore, make sure you try everything not encrypted.

Also, this helped with me, don't run the latest git org-mode against production release mobileorg. Somehow my mobileorg on iphone failed on
the first lines of the index file. mobileorg on Android didn't fail
however.

Good luck!

Joost Helberg
