also youc ant have a "/" in any of your gmail labels (which are often autmoatically created when you imap your gmail on your desktop i.e. Inbox/ebay Inbox/work etc
[HD2 General] 666poseidon:
Same problem here...

I have the same problem and the same error code.

Tried to sync my phone for the first time yesterday and spent the better part of the night troubleshooting why I was getting the 0x8600050c error code... Tried all the possible fixes including making sure Tasks are deselected, Syncing only Contacts & Calendar, no '/'s in labels etc....

However, now I realise that after browsing the google help forums that a lot of people seem to be having this problem in the last 24-32 hours. Quite a few recent messages have been posted on this.

It seems like Google Sync push has been erratic ever since it was released. They fixed the problems in the middle, but it seems that they are back now. You would hope that a firm with the resources like Google would atleast put a status page updating users of outages...

If someone figures out a solution to this problem please post...!

Phone: HTC Touch Pro2

OS: Winmo 6.5

Carrier: Vodafone UK
[HD2 General] ZeuBug:
Same problem for me here! :mad:
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
I'm sorry (I'm not rubbing it in :D honest :rolleyes:) but my GMail has been working perfectly for the last couple of weeks. So maybe it's just newly set up accounts?
[HD2 General] themarques:
For those that have gmail working via activesync, how quick is it? when a message arrives on your desktop how much later does it take to arrive on your phone. I am seeing some delayed responses and having moved from Blackberry back to WM its not good.
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
I have it running over HSDPA (3G) with exchange server and it arrives on my phone before it gets to my desktop pc.
[HD2 General] themarques:
I know its been done and said, but would you mind doing a checklist on what settings you have got working for you?

On Gmail do you have POP3 enabled and IMAP enable or one on and the other off.
[HD2 General] wilbur:
i've been having the same issue - calendar and contacts fine, but i can't sync mail.

i know it isn't the settings / labels issues mentioned here as I have it syncing fine on my kaiser...
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
Hmm. OK think we got crossed wires there. I thougth we were talking about GMail syncing in general. I was talking about my Tinity. Now I have the HD2 setup, it's not working for mail ether.

Same as everyone else, I have contacts and calendar working but no mail. It will get the mail if I set it up as a normal mail account but not with the syncing push type exchange account :( I can't see any errors, it's just not getting the mail
[HD2 General] themarques:
The thing is I get my mail, but just slow. I am not syncing contacts or anything else.
[HD2 General] 666poseidon:
Sympathize with you Chimpsinties

@Chimpsinties: Welcome to club miserables! No response from Google or anybody else till now....

@All: A detailed discussion of this problem is taking place at

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=0edb7d5393c2cd9a&hl=en#all

(Make sure you click and view all responses and not just the first two)

Would be lovely if someone could shed some light on the issue and post in this forum......
[HD2 General] themarques:
Found a hash in one of my labels, deleted it resynced and it seems things are moving ok. Let see how it goes
[HD2 General] wilbur:
hmmm. no hashes in any labels (i never imported / synced) from outlook. but still no joy...
[HD2 General] laureus:
same problem on my td2.

syncing of calendar and contacts works fine. but no mail.

funny thing is when i set it up the last weekend it all worked perfectly for about two days and suddenly error 0x8600050c.

i played arond a lot with googleapps after the setup and i thought this might be the reason it s not working any more.

so here is a list of things i tried to get it working again, well,

still without success

:

- looked for hashes in my labels (never had any though)

- deleted all labels

- change language from german to english and back

- deleted the tasks from my tasklist in gmail/calendar

- changed my password to alphabetical characters only

- registered a new gmail account without any changes

- changed the mail folder of gmail in wdmc that should be synced

some things that surely wouldnt help since it seems to be a google issue but i was desperate ;)

- reinstalled wmdc

- flashed different roms

but damn it s still not working again. *sigh* gotta switch to windows-live if they dont get this fixed.
[HD2 General] RobbyTouchHD:
Hmm I think the problem with the gmail sync makes the rom of the hd2 itself because I also have a Touch Pro 2 and a Toshiba TG01 and on both of them its working fine so I try to import the active sync files and if it will work after that I´ll tell you!
[HD2 General] willbread:
i've got the same problem on my HD2 but i can say two things :

- when i used my phone at the beginning it was working well (i used sashimi to install every things and that was OK) but now, it can't be possible yet : what did I do ?

- another thing closely of that, in the RSS Hub, i can search for a new channel though it was working before...

Is there somme software that block others ?
[HD2 General] Drazic:
I also have this problem. Contacts sync fine, but email cannot be synced. I tested this on a clean stock rom (NLD), so it can't be any other programs interfering. I also have no slashes in my gmail labels.
[HD2 General] laureus:
when was the last time you had it working?

i read several times now that the error occured after 16/17November. what makes me think again it s not our fault but there is something wrong with google´s server
[HD2 General] RobbyTouchHD:
But when there will be something wrong with the google server why is than my touch pro 2 and toshiba tg01 syncing?????
[HD2 General] 666poseidon:
NEWS!!!!

NEWS!!!

My HTC Touch Pro2 just synchronized using Activesync with Gmail. This happened at around 15:45 GMT. Maybe the Google guys fixed the problem...?

Try syncing now, and hopefully things will work....
[HD2 General] gareth824:
My messages arrive on my phone before they arrive in my inbox :D Takes aboy a minute or so before they arrive on my desktop.
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
I just tried syncing and it still don't work with mail. :(

Saying that I am now getting a different error

It just says Synchronising for about 3 mins then gives 'The server could not be reached, Support code: 0x80072EE2'

and the last sync time is 14:28 which is quite a while ago. Maybe there are more problems with mine today :eek:
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
OK, now I just added the TMobile proxy back again and mail, contact & calendar worked fine syncing.

This proxy is doing my head in. So it seems I can have either mail or Twitter but not both :eek: :mad: I'm gonna have to speak to them

Might have jumped the gun a bit there. Now taking the proxy off again it's still working. Yey for Google for fixing this. It was one of my main points of contention about this new phone.
[HD2 General] laureus:
are you..... the ONE? ;)

i really cant tell. but there are so many people with this error and they all have different phones, still mostly htc (as you can see by a look in the google support forum).

hmmm..if it s not google., what do they have in common that stops gmail-push from working?

BIG EDIT

now that's scary. a minute after having this post written i looked at my phone and... had new mails! how's that?

edit2:

seems like google fixed it, so there was nothing that user could have changed at all.
[HD2 General] wilbur:
exactly the experience here - different from how it was before, takes a while saying synchronising, then the same error message and support code as above.

at least you get the feeling someone is doing some tinkering around the back end of GSync.

Edit - all works fine now!
[HD2 General] Drazic:
Wow! It's working here now too! I changed nothing, so it must be google changed something! Finally I can read my mail :p
[HD2 General] laureus:
Yeah they changed something. So many reports of success in googleforums cannot be a coincidence.
[HD2 General] kbs_ar:
it's working for me too.
[HD2 General] tomksoft:
I still cannot get to work... First it downloads 1 mail and says that it needs to do full resynchronize. When I accept that, it download 36 mails(always, no matter how much I got in last x days). Everything ends with 0x80810005 code. Any suggestions?
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
Try deleting and re adding the entire profile :confused:
[HD2 General] tomksoft:
Did not help. However, these "36 emails" got me thinking. I get lots of emails, about 15-20 a day. I had it set to download last 3 days. Which means more than 36 emails for sure.

When I set it to download only 1 day... it worked!
[HD2 General] waky02:
just turned off push email

and worked like a charm
[HD2 General] iouk:
For anyone still having this problem, here's what I did to get it working.

Go to your active sync set up and uncheck email as one of the sync options. Then do a sync (this should then work for calendar and contacts). Power the phone off and back on, go back in to active sync and then recheck the email option and do another sync. This then synced all items, calendar, contacts and emails.
[HD2 General] Reynevan:
I had the same problem for the last 2 days and this solution actually worked. That's crazy :)
[HD2 General] kudepi:
Works very well, thanks.
[HD2 General] sabb0ur:
Solved

Ok, I just had the same problem and I solved it by deleting the exchange partnership from my phone and re-creating it again.

Make sure you backup anything (calendar/email) that you don't want to lost before doing so!
[HD2 General] Peran:
Thanks dude!:cool:

I had the same problem starting from the 8th of August 2010. (Active Sync error code 0x8600050C)
[HD2 General] KonAitor:
Solution worked for me

The same thing is happening to me now. This seems to come every once in a while. I also read that this is related to the changing of passwords.

Found a solution. For me re-creating the server source did not work. But the bellow steps, provided by 3u4uAgency on the google help forums (Here)

Before: Select Manually in Shedule options for both fields, like this sync won't be done automatically after "recheck" email.

so Fix which worked for me:

0) Set sync Manually in Shedule

1) Uncheck mail in options,

2) sync

3) recheck mail in options (DO NOT SYNC AFTER)

4) reboot

5) sync

[XPERIA X1 General] sonus:
Unfortunately, it still requires that you install programs to the main memory as there is not option to install to SD.
[XPERIA X1 General] thelucius:
Yes, this is ridiculous. Who will want to install apps on main memory, given the fact, that the SD card has many times more storage. Is it so hard for MS to realize that?!?
[XPERIA X1 General] Jablko:
I never install on SD.
[XPERIA X1 General] thelucius:
Any idea how to make it work as I am in USA for example. Most of the apps (free ones) are available for USA only. There was a thread for this thing, but I can not find it.
[XPERIA X1 General] sonus:
I don't know as I am in the US, so it worked by default but my guess is that it would be tied to whatever location you filled out for your live/hotmail account.. no?
[XPERIA X1 General] thelucius:
AFAIK it does take the location from the SIM card.
[HD2 General] rd2000:
Man!

Just got my HD2, and am I a happy camper :)

First off, the phone is a dream so thanks to HTC!

But even better. Thanks to XDA community for making all these wonderful tweaks and enhancements for leo roms for the Toch HD.

Cause guess what. They work right out of the box on the REAL thing too :)

Installed gregezors background4all 1920 and Brian's taskbar Gfreek edition, and they are working like a charm :)
[HD2 General] Noam23:
Don't worry, soon you'll find an endless list of shortcomings (just summarizing what was said by many owners in this forum):

1. Control of keyboard is inaccurate (some even use the word "nightmare") and sometimes lag.

2. Random screen presses (which aren't originated by the user)

3. Bad web browser.

4. Inefficient UI (no tasks, annoying swipe control).

5. Low quality camera.

6. Insufficient speaker volume.

7. Too heavy (157 grams) and too big.

8. No dedicated power button.

9. No TV-out

10. No real multitouch.

11. Edges of screen too thin (hard to hold without accidentally pressing something on the sides)

12. Screen way too sensitive.

13. Huge lag with SMS when replying to a contact with large SMS history.

14. Sense UI doesn't cover every setting (and not everybody wants to use it), and many Windows Mobile 6.5 screens are hard to operate with the capacitive screen.

15. There are many more I will continue later...
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
To be fair, most of those are PEBKAC faults rather than hardware faults.
[HD2 General] ganon4:
Come on... the most part of your list are bugs from italian rom and not for all HTC HD2 devices....

Be gently.
[HD2 General] Beards:
Like it....:D and in fairness ~ If the hardware and software are 'normally' both fine, the problem then must be with the meatware.
[HD2 General] vinokirk:
Where did you get your phone from? When did you order it?
[HD2 General] Noam23:
Italian ROM ?, never heard that excuse before...
[HD2 General] vinokirk:
Yeah its all over the internet. HTC Italy have halted sales of the HD2. Google it
[HD2 General] madindehead:
1.

2.

3. Opera is a bad web browser? What do you call a good one then?!

4.

5. 5MP is still decent for a camera on a phone. Remember, it's a PHONE! Not a camera.

6.

7. Too heavy? 157g is hardly heavy for a phone of this size. If the screen is too big, don't buy the phone? That's what makes it amazing. The big screen.

8. I'm going to die without my dedicated power button...

9. No TV-out isn't a bad thing. You can just put your files on the PC and watch videos from there. Even if it did have TV-out, it wouldn't be HD. So no point anymore.

10. It never CLAIMED to have multi-touch. HTC only ever mentioned pinch-to-zoom.

11.

12. Too sensitive? Wasn't the old complaint that resistive wasn't sensitive enough?

13.

14. Sense UI can't really be expected to cover everything in Windows Mobile 6.5. And it isn't as bad as everyone makes out! Half the people who review it now, have maybe had bad experiences with it, and now hate it. Unlike the iPhone OS, which was probably better out the box, so people think it is better. It's the same with Vista. It wasn't the greatest OS out the box, but it isn't as bad as everyone says it is.

15. Please don't continye

Will update this post when my HD2 arrives.

Do you own an HD2 Noam23? A few of these things were already mentioned in pre-release reviews, so people knew some of these things anyway.

Some of the slowness has been down to the testing on the Italian ROM also.

Will update this post when my HD2 arrives.
[HD2 General] rd2000:
Please don't continue on my behalf. I can sense you dislike this device , so either you bought the device without knowing the specs, or your a simple troll, and should be banned from this site.

Half your list are specs anyone should have known beforehand, and the rest are not anything i have noticed , since the new firmware has eliminated most of them.
[HD2 General] precsmo:
perfect question for Noam23, don't tell us you have been collecting the complaints from everywhere, and making a conclusion HD2 sounds like a flawed device! And even more ridiculous if you don't actually own one!!!:mad::mad::mad: Do you own a HD2 actually???????
[HD2 General] Noam23:
No I don't have one, I will get one early next month.

The fact it has shortcomings doesn't mean people shouldn't buy it. My current HD has more shortcomings than HD2. iPhone has more shortcomings too.

This thread simply looked unbalanced ("thankyouthankyouthankyou"), like the HD2 is some kind of a flawless godsent. I lurk here everyday and people simply don't stop to complain. I simply collected the weaknesses which were shared by many owners and repeated many times by owners from different countries (so this can't be related to any italian ROM).
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I'm quite surprised you are buying one after reading all your comments on the device. If you haven't held on in your hand, how do you know it is too heavy for the size of the screen etc?
[HD2 General] Noam23:
None of the weaknesses came from me, it's all things you've said here people.

Saying that, regarding weight, I do find my HD a bit too heavy, so I do agree with the claim about the HD2. Yes, screen size justify it for me, but still, it's a heavy device.

In any case, I hope that in time we'll find a way to at least mitigate many of the software-related weaknesses.
[HD2 General] Zhuk86:
I own a HD2, and its the best phone I have ever had in my life. Great screen, extremely fast, good build quality and all the smartphone features I could want.

After 2 days use I give the phone a 10 out of 10 in meeting and exceeding my expectation.

There's no such thing as a perfect phone, but right now this thing is as close as you are going to get to the perfect device.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Eh? If you think this is heavy, you REALLY need to seek medical advice! lol

157g is very light. It may be heavier than lots of other phones, but come on.... how the hell can it be considered heavy? I don't notice it in my pocket, in its pouch, until it vibrates.

Also, if you think the HD is too heavy, same comments apply.

So we want a fast phone, with a capacitive multi-touch display, and a battery large enough to make it useful, but we want it really light.

That's like asking for a plane without wings because you don't like how wide it is.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
Love that comment right there
[HD2 General] fards:
damn that list missed some glaring bugs

no coffee machine.

doesn't give blowjobs..

sometimes I do wonder what planet people live on..
[HD2 General] precsmo:
first of all, I clarify that I've not own a HD2, but surely intentionally will, awaiting for the moment this month end.

I find this the same problem when I have ipod touch, and lag? It is software than hardware issue, cooked roms and new coming shipped roms have much rooms for improvement in the near future!

not sure about this, don't see any repeating complaints from any forums

bull**** comment. you can install and try other web browsers till you are happy. I'm happy Touch HD user, what on earth are you making claim HD2 has bad web browser?

Software issue too, wait for the future cooked roms or new shipped roms, and can easily leave with for the time being

I was completely happy with Touch HD even it was really slow, if you aren't happy, forget getting the HD2, get a camera instead. This is really personal but I really don't find HTC camera that bad at all

I don't find a problem with Touch HD, even though it was true that everyone complaint it will clip at max volume, but nothing serious to me, and it is just loud enough for most people

too heavy? for a high end phone purposefully design in this way for just 157grams? bull**** comment to me. Too big? Probably for some, this is very personal, I don't mind the extra width and length against Touch HD for an even bigger and more awesome screen, it is too big for you, not everyone ok?

not sure bout this, will see if this is really a flaw?

bla bla bla, yeah i know, one of the first complaint, but don't even bother. not a flaw to me at all, just very personal requirement.

so what? it is software restrictions more than hardware issue, will wait for future roms and apps. Can leave with it right? What is so serious if it is not truly multitouch?

this I appreciate the most, and it look so sleek! not sure it will be a problem for me, but I'm not gonna worry

go read 10 times what is capacitive touch screen is all about in "HowStuffsWork", and stop making repeating nonsense complaint, arghhh!

not HD2 problem at all, it is typical known problem to Manila 2.5, go read and understand more elsewhere about this well know issue before blaming the HD2

Not sure about this, probably many and I won't realize it a much of a problem at all

go ahead, awaiting!:p:p
[HD2 General] Cendaryn:
LOL!

Are you working for Apple? You seem to have no idea who great and powerful this device is!
[HD2 General] vinokirk:
He he he agreed! Still got the Lexus fards?
[HD2 General] mallman:
lmfao, now that's funny. if i may, i would like to add that it doesn't make calls for me. I don't like talking on the phone and really wish it would just think of things for me to say, who to say them too and handle my entire social life on its own.
[HD2 General] Gustopher:
Might be time to let up now folks before this gets too personal.

It was an ill-judged post from Noam23 with reasonably good intentions of bringing balance...even if it did look a bit like he/she was trying to rain on the OP's parade.

The HD2 isn't the perfect device, nor does it have the ideal O/S or user interface, but it's a very positive step in a very positive direction. If we all stop to think about the clunky, low-tech, function-free objects we had in our hands 5-10 years ago this sort of device feels like a minor miracle. If we embrace that and work with manufacturers (and xda-developers) to enhance the technology and function, just imagine what we might have 5-10 years hence...

...and I bet we will still be *****ing about it!

Shortcomings

BOLLOCKS!!!
[HD2 General] Xaddict:
iphone out of box

From memory, iphone had major problems for about the first year.

I'm loving my HD2, and I had grave reservations about a capacitive screen.

Battery power is still an open question but still adequate power.
[HD2 General] stoolzo:
Why is it than when anyone on here reports the shortcoming of a device they get a slew of people complaining?. The idea of this forum is to highlight these kind of issues not matter how big or small there are. Noam23 had simply collated these into a list. Granted some of them were very minor but it was good to see all these issues in one list.

Thanks to those here who have sensibly tried to address these issues and provide info and fixes.
[HD2 General] Xaddict:
Gnome

1. Keyboard is accurate, my fingers are fat and keyboard use is on a par with stylus.

2. No random scren presses on mine.

3. Browser is superb.

Pinch to zoom is xlnt.

4. The user interface, manila 2.6, sense, touchflo, is superb, better than WM titanium alone, better than apple, spb. Info & functons are very accessible without the endless layers of menus on iphone, intuitive and well integrated. Tasks sux. Never the less, you are wrong, as it does have tasks.

5. Camera is the highest quality of any phone I have seen, wm or apple.

Not as good as a digital slr, but it's A PHONE! There's no room for a zoom lens on it.

6. Speaker is loud and clear, without being a hearing hazard. Best of any phone I have seen or owned.

7. It is not too heavy, or to big. It is quite compact, but with a big screen, which makes the capacitive touch screen very easy to use.

8. Who needs tv out? I have it on an old flame. I used it once to do a presentation and still have it in the unlikely event I will need it again.

9. No multituch, but pinch to zoom, and it works fine, especially for your point 14. when you need to use windows settings.

11. The edges of the screen are thin because it has A WIDE SCREEN! It's not a shortcoming. IT'S A FEATURE!!!

12. Screen sensitivity is perfect, better than apple iphone, different to resistive but good. To give it perspective, I like it, after 7 yearsuse of resistive screens.

13. And what phone doesn't lag when accessing large quantities of data? The HD2 has a fast processor which reduces that time to a minimum. If it's such an issue you can delete old msgs or archive them. That goes for any windows phone.

14. See 10.

15. Why don't you go back to using 2 tin cans joined by a string!!!
[HD2 General] Noam23:
Thanks stoolzo.

Again, this is not *my* list of shortcomings. These are the shortcomings I've seen *you* (HD2 owners) complain about. There is at least 1 thread (with several HD2 owner participants) in this forum for every shortcoming I gave.

I just made a list out of it and you go all mad...
