#843 Contacts Download fail

[robert barrera]

Hello:

Love the GoContacts program!

I downloaded latest version. Sync Calendar works fine, but I am getting errors when trying to sync Contacts.

This is the same file I had a few days ago with no issues.

Please advise.

Thanks

I have exactly the same problems. On top, it takes at least 8 hours of "syncronising" before the message is given. I use the program succesfully since years and untill a month ago a sync toke around 10 minutes. I already skipped "Force RTF contacts", "sync appointments" and use "Outlook to Google only". But... problem stays.

Is it working again after waiting for some hours? this is a limit coming from Google, we could request more quota, but Google is very restrictive with it (just recently I asked for increase and got only half of the requested one).
We can also implement a so called Exponential Backoff, which has been started already by Obelix, so I would like to let him apply this method also to the retry mechanism
@Obelix: Can you help here?

[Florian Saller]

Obelix implemented the Exponential Backoff and switched to hourly sync (instead of minutely). This should solve this problem, nevertheless the App Developer cannot influence the Google API quota
