google activesync error 0X80004005

Computer Aid Posted on 29 May, 2009 by Luigi Martin29 May, 2009

I’ve been investigating the possibilities of integrating most of my office activities by using a smartphone.

Until now, I’ve been using Palm PDA’s so I didn’t want to go to windows mobile in a big way, only to find that I might regret it. So I decided to start “small”

By small, I meant cheap, which meant I got an ipaq H6365 with pocket PC 2003 (big, heavy, but I can see if its suitable)

activesyncI managed to setup gmail, google calendar and google contacts, import data from the palm, and then active sync to the ipaq.

It would work for a few days, and then I started getting error 0x80004005 during an active sync (and no contact/calendar items would get updated)

I’m syncing about 15 appointments and about 475 contacts.

I’d disable the contact syncing, and the calendar would work fine. I then re-enable contacts and 0x80004005 happens again (and only 100 contacts will get transferred).

I disable contacts again,

In google contacts, i export all the contacts in google csv format (note: group associations will be lost), delete all the google contacts, import contacts from the csv file, enable contact syncing on the ipaq, and everything is fine again.

For a few days, then it all happens again.

It seems like an obvious bug with google contacts and/or their sync software.

Sure, I really shouldn’t expect much from a beta application, but I’d like it to work better

gsyncThen I find the real problem: seems that google mobile sync is only tested to work with windows mobile 5 & 6 (not pocket pc 2003 and earlier).

Luckily, I’m happy enough with using a windows mobile device, that I’ll be looking at getting a more modern HTC smartphone… maybe the original HTC Touch.
