Hello,
I hard reset-ed my phone HTC 8X yesterday and added the contacts again and found out that it gives an error on the Google account!!


Here is the error message:


Google error
Not updated
Your phone doesn't have enough memory to sync information at the moment.
Last tried 12 minutes ago
Error code: 800700E

The phone storage is empty as reset-ed it.


Can anyone help me with this? as all of my contacts are exists on Google.


OS version: 8.0.10501.127

Did anyone faced this issue before?

I fixed the issue.
The issue was from the pictures associated with the contacts at Google so I removed all of the pictures then the sync worked perfect.

The pictures may be too large for Windows Phone to handle.

My way around this was to sync it as exchange... it works that way too and syncs the pictures

I have a Lumia 1520 and I cannot seem to figure out how to set it up I am a newbie to Windows Phones

1. Make sure your smart phone is connected to Internet
2. Navigate to Settings -> email+accounts
3. Remove the existing Google account (if present)
4. Tap "add an account"
5. Tap "advanced setup"
6. Enter your gmail e-mail address
7. Enter your gmail password. If you are using Application-specific passwords with your Google account, generate and enter a new Application-specific password
8. Tap the "next" button
9. Select "Exchange ActiveSync"
10. Leave Domain empty
11. Enter Server "m.google.com"
12. Tap the "sign in" button (optionally set some further options, if needed)
13. Wait till the synchronization is finished (this could take up to half an hour if you have many contacts, e-mails, etc.)
14. All done

Try this:
step 1)
create gmail account in setings>email+account>google
it will sync only mail
But still you can not sync contacts etc.
Problem was solved by:

step 2)
turning on 2 step authentication on gmail account
go to:
www.google.com/settings/security > permissions / accesses to account (I have this in Polish) > display all >
manage appliation passwords > generate password

In phone you will have "action required" under google account in email+account
click on this and write passowrd generated by google in step 2

done, all info synchronised
