85002003 error on sync

I keep getting this error on when I try to sync my device - it syncs the local data, but not the data to the server. The server sync is still working through direct push though, just not when I'm connected via usb. Thing is, this error has been on and off since I first set up my device, although this time it has stayed and not gone away. I'm using AS 4.1. I tried upgrading to 4.2, and that worked well for a few days, but then it stopped syncing all together. So I downgraded back to 4.1, set up a new sync profile in AS, and still the problem is there. On my device it says:
Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings.
On my computer it says: The server could not be reached. This may be caused by temporary network conditions. Support Code: 85002003.
This has happened on and off since my ppc had nothing on it. Still though, the last few programs I installed are: One Note Mobile, SuDoKuWizard, Ilium NewsBreak, Spb Weather, Resco today Plugin.
Anyone have any idea what's going on or how to fix it?

I have the same problem, just started failing on Exchange sync.
It seems like the the Wizard is trying to connect via GPRS to sync mail even though it is docked, so this fails. The rest of the sync seems to work.
I have not found a fix yet, except the obvious hard reset. :roll:
I am now also getting an error when I try to run the MMS configuration on the Wizard, it is complaining that MEETING.EXE is missing, dunno why, this also happens when I select meeting from the menu.

Help with Active Sync

Okay, before anyone gets upset at me aking the question I have done the following...
1. Google search
2. MS search
3. Search here
That being said I have had no joy. Here is the problem.
Today, for no apparent reason (i.e. I did not install any new programs) Active Sync stopped working, or at least the part where it syncs to my Exchange server. I get the following error message "A critical error has occured. The next time you sync you will lose changes made since your last sussecful sync."
I have tried the following to no avail..
1. Soft reset
2. Uninstalling Active Sync and reinstalling (both 4.1 and 4.2 beta)
3. Hard reset
For what it is worth I am running summitters AKU2.3 test2 and the 2.25 radio ROM but since I got those last week and had no problems I am guessing it is not them.
I did not have my sync cable at work and do not have outlook at home but but it seems that at home the local PC connection works fine. Is is possible that my IT guy changed something on the server or is it something on the device.

Activesync Error: 85002003

I have started to get this error whilst trying to Sync my Wizard.
I basically have the pushmail activated but stays connected to the the GPRS connection and Sync's the Normal Partnership but not the Exchange one.
Anyone got an idea how to fix this or do a workaround.
I have got this on AS 4.2 and also AS 4.5 (Beta)
Tis annoying as generally a Hard reset will sort it but I dont want to go down that route again

Anyone know of a patch for this issue ?

You just need delete the partership in your desktop and re-sync.
best luck.

More problems
This problem also appeared for me the other day, and deleting the partnership, performing a soft reset and reestablishing it does not work. Nothing has been changed (manually - I don't preclude some kind of automatic update) on the Exchange server, the network or the phone itself. Moreover, my colleague (who is the Exchange server administrator) has just bought a Hermes/Vario II and has the same problem. Is a hard reset necessary for this? Has anyone else managed to resolve this problem?
The problem just appeared for me on Monday afternoon during a routine sync, and I hadn't seen it before.

I had the 85002003 error with a client the other day.
I fixed it by just upgrading to the latest version of ActiveStink. No idea what caused it, but the upgrade fixed it.

ive been having this same problem for last few weeks. if anyone figures out whats causing this please post a fix for it.

Has anybody resolved this issue? I am having the same problem... Until a couple of days ago I was able to connect via ActiveSync to my Exchange server and syncronize all my items. Then, all of a sudden it stopped working and I get the 85002003 error. I have not changed anything on either my HTC Hermes/Cingular 8525 or my computer with my Outlook 2007 and ActiveSync 4.5 setup. I can sync with my desktop just fine. Also, I can sync over the air (OTA) using GPRS/EDGE/3G with the Exchage Server just fine...
Any help will be appreciate, please.
Thank you,
Cameron

I had the same error a couple of times and it was usually the result of an upadte to a task in outlook.
The fix I have is to go to activesync (either on phone or PC) choose options and unselect everything except email. Select ok and re-sync and then add the other items back in. Works for me each time but haven't found a permanent fix.

Emails over approx 4k cause ActiveSync to fail

Hi all
I have 2 x HD2s configured for ActiveSync with our SBS2003 server. Everything works fine when connected to my laptop via USB or when connected to WiFi (whether at my office or at any remote site unrelated to my local LAN). However, once I am using my data connection I experience the following issue which I have narrowed down through lots of trail and error:
When an email of approx 4k and above arrives I can see ActiveSync trying to sync and it then fails with an error code of 0x80830002. ActiveSync will then never reestablish a connection unless I either remove the particular email from my Outlook inbox, or, I connect to any WiFi connection.
If I set the download limit to 1k, it never fails and I simply receive a trunkated version of the email. However, if I select to download the remained of the text it fails again.
The issue is related to the size of the text within the email as attachements can be downloaded fine.
I have been on to T-Mobile as this feels like a carrier problem as I only experience it when using mobile data connection but they haven't come up with anything.
I'd really appreciate any help you can offer as this is driving me mad!!!!!
Many thanks,
Tom.

I seem to be having similar problems
Which all started in Mid April. I too am on T-Mobile.....
Though e-mails in excess of 4k have been syncing when OTA is actually working. I hope an expert out there has an idea of what may be wrong!

Hi Niall
I should have posted my solution back here.
I thought (mistakenly) that my SBS2003 box was running service pack 2. It wasn't.
Went to the Microsoft updates website, allowed it to download and install and hey presto!!!
Also, I have noticed that on occasion, for example if the SBS loses its internet connection, that ActiveSync does not reestablish. Simply terminating it in WM task manager causes it to restart and then its fine.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestions. We're on Exchange 2003 SP2 already.
Terminating Activesync in the Task Manager on the phone doesn't help either. The only way to "restart" OTA syncing is to do a USB laptop sync. With SSL it falls down eventually with "Waiting for Network". Without SSL it lasts longer before falling down with error 0x80830002.
I do still wonder if it's related to us changing ISP for head office, but then surely the iPhone or WM6.1 device would also fail?

All Contact Data Lost

For the 3rd time my phone has lost all my contacts...
This has happened with 2 differnt ROMS.
Does anyone have any ideas?
John

You could save your contacts to your sim card.

just backup with google synce or myphone?

Thanks guys, I have my phone set up with an Exchange Server, but I have to set the phone back to factory settings eachtime becuase the Activesync software fails to work once the contacts have been lost.
I'm really looking for a solution or reason why this is happening to me so I can avoid it.
-John

All of your contacts should be pulling from your exchange server... Are you trying to sync by connecting it to your desktop? Are the contacts disappearing during a sync?

wow! I annotated even joking..... i just lost all my contacts again!
when I attempt to run ActiveSync itopens briefly and shuts down.
i have also lost my imap4 email too....
WFT, could I really be the only one having this issue?
John

SO are you syncing with it attached to your computer or doing it with the data connection wireless? An exchange sync doesn't work if you are connected to your PC.
Also curious if your data connection is poor or if you have tried connecting to a wireless network before syncing?
Do you only lose your contacts when you are trying to run active sync and it crashes?

I never sync directly with the PC - gsm/wifi connection only.
I have had Windows CE devices since the begining of time... Other than the odd software bugs, etc I have never come across anything like this... Four times I have lost 100% of my contacts, email accounts cleared from my phone etc.
Only a full factory reset will allow me to connect with ActiveSync again. Yesterday it happened waiting to see doctor - good thing I had a long wait.
I am not "running" ActiveSync. I have it set for Push, so it syncs all the time.

Maybe try turning off push at first and using Active Sync to pull in everything in the beginning?
I have hard reset my HD2 several times and each time I set up my exchange I manually ran active sync. it takes like 4 times running it to bring all 1500 of my contacts and all of my work related emails into my phone, but it's never crashed on me yet during the sync...

I could do that, but if I turn push off I won't get my email updates, contacts won't get updated/backed up.... :/

Just initially leave push off... Not forever. Once all of your contacts are in there, after doing a manual active sync several times possibly, turn push back on.
I use push mail every day during the week, but when I first setup my phone I run a manual active sync to get all of my contacts and emails on my phone because if I just rely on push to do it initially, it won't import everything. I think I just have way too much to sync or something?

oh, the loosinh of data happens several days after the initial sync. maybe 3 to 6 days later. i think 6 days is the longest It's gone without loosing all the datda.
