SyncML Errors

Monday, May 5th, 2008

I’ve been having an issue with strangely “non” Nokia SyncML servers causing my mobile to stop contact syncing at 180 of 303 with “System Error”.

Using the Horde SyncML server I finally found out what was causing the error, it was one of the contacts thumbnails was malformed somehow.

After removing the contacts thumbnail it worked fine.

GRAGGH !

Anyway, the best process for determining which contact it is (sounds simple, but here it is) create the /tmp/sync folder for horde to write the debug info into, then load up the largest syncml_client* file after doing a test sync.

Scroll to the bottom and then just scroll up until you see the contact name in cleartext, I could make a smarter “use this strings/grep/tail one-liner” but I need to get back to studying.
