LDAP-Sync makes my phone very unstable
dbaron opened this issue · comments
When I have an LDAP-Sync account set up (it's syncing a set of about 600 contacts from a company server), it makes my phone (an LG Optimus V, running Android 2.2.1) very unstable. The instability takes a little while to start and then worsens with time (until the phone is rebooted). Removing the LDAP-Sync account makes the instability go away. (There's no need to remove the app to make the phone stable again.) (I verified this a number of months back, and figured today that I'd give it another try to see if it was better; it's not.)
The most common symptom is frequent dialogs "The application Google Services Framework (process ...) has stopped unexpectedly", but sometimes it's other things that stop unexpectedly (e.g., "android.process.acore") and sometimes the instability gets bad enough that crashes make it impossible to answer a phone call. (It's hard to transcribe these messages accurately since they go away after a few seconds; my quotes are really approximate.)
Note that I don't see this problem when I set up LDAP-Sync the same way on a Samsung Galaxy Tab (running Android 3.1). So that makes it seem at least somewhat related to the device (rather than or in addition to the data being synced).
