Occasionally, while syncing your BlackBerry, you may get the "0x80040fb3 Error" on it. The 0x80040fb3 Error indicates that there was a problem with synchronizing the Contacts on the BlackBerry, and the error usually causes the Contacts syncing process to hang or stop running. The issue that generates this error is a problem with the way the Contacts are being read by Intellisync, the BlackBerry synchronizing function. The main cause of the error is a problem with syncing contact entries with photos attached. A tertiary cause of the error is having a contact entry with no "Name" data. Sometimes, contact entries will be created with only a phone number or an email address, and no name in the Name field. This problem also generates the 0x80040fb3 error on the BlackBerry.
Instructions
1. Press or tap the "Menu" button on the BlackBerry to show the Home screen.
2. Scroll to and tap the "Address Book" icon to open the Contacts list.
3. Delete or edit each contact with no name in the "Name" field. Make sure all contact entries in the list have Name data.
4. Open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software on the computer, and plug the BlackBerry into a free port on the computer. The device registers in the desktop manager software.
5. Click the "Synchronize" button to open the "Synchronization" interface.
6. Click the "Synchronization" option in the left navigation panel, and then click the "Synchronization" button in the right pane. The Synchronization Configuration window opens.
7. Click the mail application you use to sync with, and then click "Advanced Options."
8. Uncheck the check box next to "Photo Syncing." If you attach photos to your Contact List on the BlackBerry, this action prevents the photos from syncing with the computer, and therefore prevents the 0x80040fb3 error.
9. Click "OK," and then click "Finish." Click "Synchronize" from the syncing screen in the desktop manager to rerun synchronization. You should not see the 0x80040fb3 error.
