Windows mobile Active Sync with Google – Error support code 0×80004005

I use google to sync my mobile contacts, tasks, calendar etc from my windows mobile.

While sync’ing with the site, it stops with an annoying support code 0×80004005 :( http://jlvillaraza.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!BDFB7845C22E26B6!1662.entry was helpful in this. Uncheck all items like email, task etc except Contacts. Sync contacts first. then continue with other items one by one. It worked finally.

By the way, who is the killer here, windows or the google? ;)

BSNL 3G Service in Coimbatore, Tamilnadu

Posted by Pandian R under Announcement

BSNL released its 3G service after a looooong testing in Coimbatore last week. I been there for the inaugural function. There is a huge mob to collect the free 3G USIM distributed.

I got a new connection yesterday after 1 hour of waiting. video call and Mobile TV is no matter to me, my thing was internet on mobile as any other users rely on Internet for their daytoday activities. I am not able to find a page in chennai telecom or tamilnadu telecom about the GPRS/WAP settings for 3G. Settings given by North Zone BSNL sites are not working. Really it is very complicated to get the reliable information since there is no authenticated information. CUSTOMER CARE 1503 IS USELESS. Customer care people sitting here not able provide the correct information since they don’t have any. Better they can close it !!

Finally I am able to connect with gprssouth.cellone.in as my APN. Then comes the signal quality. Frequently I am getting disconnected from 3G signal. network fails and it really switch VERY FREQUENTLY to G (GPRS), E (EDGE) and 3G. :( finally this is not fruitful for a serious user for professional purpose. We need to wait till it gets matured.

Huawei EC1260 and Ubuntu 9.1

This is really a pathetic story :(

I installed ubuntu 9.1 AMD 64 today in my vostro 1000 (said bye to one more windows!!!). The installer is faster than 386 installation in my office laptop.

I have Reliance Broadband with USB Huawei EC1260 modem, which was cleanly identified by Network Manager and I was able to configure the connection. But it is not getting connected. (It was working perfectly in Sabayon5). After googling I came to know that the device is identified as USB mass storage, rather than a modem. The tricks given by sites are not helpful, atleast for me.

Sad, Ubuntu dont come with gnome-ppp by default. I need to download it along with its dependencies to make the device work.
