###TODO states (like TODO, DONE, etc) are not colored properly

This situation most commonly occurs if you are not using Org-mode integration (org-mobile-push and pull). You will need to place lines like the following in the Org-file you link to from MobileOrg (typically index.org):

#+TODO: TODO | DONE
#+TODO: INVOICE SENT | RECEIVED

###MobileOrg displays 'Unable to detect file encoding, please re-save this file using the proper encoding'

MobileOrg 1.0 expects your files to be in UTF-8 encoding. Until a fix can be put in place, please re-save your file using UTF-8 if possible.

###How to setup MobileOrg to sync to WebDAV shares with URLs of the form "https://[my domain]/.../webdav.php"?

For some WebDAV implementations, such as ownCloud, the URL to access a user's WebDAV share has the following form: https://www.example.com/owncloud/files/webdav.php

To setup MobileOrg to sync with it (assuming index.org is in the org/ directory in the WebDAV share), simply enter the following: https://www.example.com/owncloud/files/webdav.php/org/index.org

###How can I make MobileOrg automatically push/pull changes? One possible solution for this is to add the following to emacs configuration:

(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'org-mobile-pull)
(add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook 'org-mobile-push)
