Given your report, I hesitate to remove the device entry for my phone and try to re-add it.  I'll try to dig out another phone to test it with. |
After more testing, it seems that Reading List uses the device's assigned UUID to do list syncing, but uses the device name to indicate "connected".
I tested this as follows:
- Connecting. RL showed the device as connected and the debug log indicates that it will sync.
Code:
READING LIST: Device found to sync to: CBH dbd6d9b6-ed74-46ed-a585-613f415f736c
- Disconnected.
- Renamed the device in CC
- Connected. RL didn't show the device as connected but did show that it would sync with it (same message as above, UUID match).
- Disconnected. Deleted the device from RL.
- Connected. This time RL didn't find the UUID to sync. (no "Device found to sync" message in the debug log.)
- In RL, added the device.
- Disconnected and reconnected.
- RL indicated the device is connected and is available to sync.
Thus it seems that if the device name changes, perhaps because of an OS upgrade, RL will still sync but not indicate connected. I think this is a bug -- RL should use the UUID instead of the name.
Also note that the UUID will change if CC is uninstalled then reinstalled without using a database backup. At this point the only choice is to remove and re-add the device in RL.
