I Installed the davx5 app on my phone and I can’t get it to sync or back up any of my contacts is this disabled or am i missing somthing
I installed the app , but couldn’t get everything to work. I was able to synchronize the calendar after I had integrated the additional account (which is created by the DAVx5 app) in the calendar app. I had to do something similar with the contacts. Only the WebDav access did not work for me, maybe I entered the URL incorrectly. But it must work in principle, because I have no problems accessing the cloud files with the original Nextcloud app.
I have pretty much the same problem and yes my calendar also works as well now that I think of it the only apps that seem to work is the notes app and cook book and my news but that’s it
On Android, you may have already been saving your contacts to a different “Online Service” or to your SIM card if you were adding them before you got DAVx⁵. You need to move them over somehow manually, they won’t just migrate on their own. In the contacts app, you can probably export them to a big vCard file from the old service and then import them to your OpenDesktop account either on your phone, or through the web interface or another client.

I’ve just set up Nextcloud and DavX5 on my new phone and it shows the contacts I have in Nextcloud. I updated one on https://my.opendesktop.org and did a sync and it showed the new information.
The URL for both the Nextcloud app and DavX5 is just https://my.opendesktop.org
I found this guide for moving contacts but it doesn’t match the Contacts app I have as it recently got updated but it might work for you: Add or move contacts - Android - Contacts Help
