e_sync_update_failed - Error Updating Caller ID

There have been two other reports of it, is there a solution or a Jawbone/Aliph employee who can help us?

 

Kind of upset I can't use a core feature I purchased the headset for. If I knew the support and features would be so flaky (seriously, it's a stupid idea IMHO to update hardware USB devices via a web browser...wrong tool for the wrong job!), I would have gone Plantronics and never looked back....

 

Other functions work, only caller id updates are throwing this error.

Strange experience.

 

I always get answers from jawbone pretty fast too. If its faulty they fix it. Blueant was trouble when sending supportmails you need to register your bt headset  first so i did and I never got answers from them.  Q1 was so bad people never heard what i said and  i had to yell for it to hear my commands (had v1 before which was good and clear in sound) After that experience  i never go back to blueant. Well if i got it for free and it works i would reconsider that.

 

If something is new it will have bugs. even windows had lots of them. ubuntu too had it and probably mac too. Just wait till they address this problem and it will  most probably work. If it takes 6 month well then you anger is correct.

 

Jawbone also listen to their customer to improve their product thats why i like them even more.  Which sony ericsson never did they never addres their problems they have this pling plong after each call which will sound in your headset so if you raise volume that bling is really high to hurt your ear  and nokia didnt fix so much until recently now they must otherwise they loose their market cause they are  like desperate now.

 

Also something tells me you might have a faulty unit.. My first era updated and stopped at 51% gave me some error and said sometihng couldnt be updated or something and it died. My replacement works fine now. So maybe you should RMA it.

Re: e_sync_update_failed - Error Updating Caller ID

Hi there!

 

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but I just bought a Jawbone Era today and have the very same problem and was wondering if there will be a fix for this or if there is some kind of work-around?

 

All the best,

I purchased 2 of these Era devices, one for my wife and one for myself. I get the same e_sync error. Is there a fix as the moderator has not replied in this posting.

Thanks for your kind attention As an update; I decided that after the ERA device was powering off and on my flat screen LCD when I was near it with my ERA Jawbone, I knew that some serious work is still required to correct this 'rapidly developed' device. If the caller ID issue was the only problem, I may have kept it. Yet after careful consideration, I returned both ERA Jawbones and will wait until I see better progress in the development and stability. Would be nice to see maybe a bit better battery life report on their products too.

Re: e_sync_update_failed - Error Updating Caller ID

Then an awful lot of new Jawbone ERA users will need RMAs.  I'm having the same problem with a new unit I received two days ago.  Based on the number of users with this identical issue on this forum, this appears to be a systemic problem, not a fluke.

Thanks Emma!

What I found seems to be the culprit in my case when getting this error is when I have a contact with too few characters. For example I tried saving a contact called 'Hem' which means 'Home' in Swedish and then I got this problem but as soon I used a name with more characters the sync was successful.

Since I managed to work around the problem in this way this isn't a big issue for me anymore but maybe you can pass this info on to your tech/dev guys to look into for a future patch/firmware upgrade.

I bought my ERA a few days ago and I am having the same issue. I have sent a pm to Emma, so hopefully she will contact me so that I can resolve this issue.

Re: SOLUTION! e_sync_update_failed - Error Updating Caller ID

Well I knew as soon as I posted about this problem I would get it to work.

 

Apparently I had one caller ID entry that would not allow it to update. Out of seven entries I was able to update each one individually except one. I deleted the entry that would not update and reentered the information then voila...it updated!

 

I have no idea why that one entry would prevent the update from working, but all is well now.
