A Lumia alternative to Nokia Suite?

Hello
Do anyone know of programs that can just partly do what Nokia Suite could? E.g. being able to send text messages through the Lumia-phone via software on a PC - and using Bluetooth to establish the connection.

Sorry but what you are looking for doesn't exist for Windows Phone. It's been mentioned many times about the ability to send and receive text messages via a PC Using a Windows Phone but unfortunately that isn't possible to do at this time.

Any Nokia Suite alternatives?

There previously was a PC Suite alternative from Oxygen Software. It looks like there isn't any support for newer Nokia phones on their website.
Oxygen Phone Manager II
Is anyone still using this product with Belle phones? It was last updated in March 2011 (Nokia) and December 2011 (Symbian). It might be an alternative to Nokia Suite if it still works.
Thanks

Hi wkl12mr,
What specific feature are you looking for? For newer symbian devices, you can use Nokia Suite.

So many useful actions that were possible with the 97 mini + Ovi Suite and now?
Having to re-navigate the mind around Windows psychy, narrow thinking and locked out actions such as no ability to add one's own personal sound byte for message alerts.
Is there anything else this phone is not allowed to do?
Virtual "big brother" windows style I guess...........
Ultimately, it's my mistake for buying by brand and not exercise.
Pity.
I'm with you... Nokia should have called this a Lumia Apple... I bought this phone and now I want to configure it MY WAY... I don't want a Microsoft or Nokia tech limiting my use of this device... my relationship with AT&T is for COMMUNICATIONS... I bought the phone for OTHER THINGS (contacts management, e-reading, etc.)... bad mistake... now awaiting BlackBerry Q10 release in USA... I may simply eat the price of this Nokia brick and call it an "expensive learning experience"

this is the worst nokia i have had, except the slide phone i had for 13 months that lost its speaker. i cant believe that the ring time cant be extended, this would be the only product on the world market that cant extend it ring time. i dont see your technical help answering the question.

How to move my contacts from Nokia Suite to Lumia ...

I have stored all my contacts in Nokia Suite and now want to "sync" them to my new and fine Lumia 800. Any idea how to do this ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do you have a google account setup on your Lumia??
If so
There should be an option in Nokia Suite to export all contacts to a CSV file
Export your contacts from Nokia Suite
Log into your Google/Gmail Account in a Web Browser on your PC
If in the Gmail Tab, Click on 'Gmail' at the left hand side under the Google Logo
Select 'Contacts'
On this screen you should now see any Google contacts if any.
At the top of this list there is a button for adding a contact and another button Labelled 'More'
Click this and select 'Import'
Browse to your CSV file and import your contacts
When your phone next syncs with your Google account, All the new contacts should be copied across

Copy MMS from Nokia N8 to Lumia using Nokia Suite

I've had a Nokia N8 for the last year but now I have just got a Nokia Lumia 920 and have used the app "Transfer My Data" to transfer my sms messages, now this works fine, but it doesn't copy mms.
I was thinking of syncing my mms messages from my Nokia N8 to my pc, using Nokia Suite and then copy them to my Nokia Lumia 920.
Now before anyone says just save the the content in the mms message (image,video etc) and then just copy that to the Nokia Lumia 920. I dont want to do this, as sometimes people send me normal messages as an mms message (dont ask me why).
So how does anyone know how I copy these over, I'm suprised that the app transfer my data doesnt do this
but assumed it would be easy enough on Nokia Suite, am I missing something

there is none.

Contacts from Nokia Suite to Lumia phone

Any good idea how to move contacts from Nokia Suite to Lumia Windows phone or to Skydrive.
The old Nokia phone (C5) is broken and the contacts are only in the laptop in Nokia Suite programme.

If the contacts are not in Outlook or c:\users\[yourfolder]\contacts then no. Else see this

N8 Belle refresh: Nokia Suite Backup has problems ...

Since I installed the Belle refresh on my N8 the backup of Nokia Suite 3.5.34 has difficulties to safe Documents.
Only after restarting the N8, the backup works.I assume some documents are locked. This was never a problem before.
What are these documents and where are they located in the N8. I have not created any documents myself.

Having sold my Lumia I bought 808 PureView, owned previously N8. In my view, Symbian Belle is a great system, much better than Windows Phone and you do not need to sacrifice your privacy as much as with WP. The only one thing I wish Nokia could improve, is the speed of reading emails, web browsing and installation of apps from Ovi Store. I do not know why it still so slow as 808 PureView has double fast processor clock compared to N8?
And unfortunately 808 PureView still has a bug they introduced with Symbian Belle - bluetooth connection with some hands-free car devices do not work correctly, eg. with Bury CC9045 V04. You do not hear the first incoming call, need to drop it and wait for a second call.
Apart from above, it is a great phone!

SMS sent from Nokia Suite is not saved

PC Nokia Suite (7.1.18.0) seems to be working fine on both Bluetooth and USB Cable with my Nokia 6300 (FW is V07.21).
EXCEPT, whenever I send SMSs from the Nokia Communications Centre, they are not saved anywhere. I assume that they should save in NCC and immediately be replicated back to my phone, but that is not happening. So I have no record of anything I have sent, unless I key it in onto my phone.
All off the other categories of SMS (Inbox, Outbox, Drafts, Archive) seem to replicate OK between phone and NCC. Why not the Sent messages?
And yes, I am sure that the messages are being sent - that was the first thing I checked
What am I (or the SW) doing wrong?
Thanks

unfortunately I'm also suffering from lack of this feature. however I'm not sure which other mobile phone can do something like requested by author (and me ).
Suppose it has something to do with the way desktop software works with GSM phones, it probably just sends series of AT commands to GSM phone modem, initiating sending of message. Saving of message into "Sent" box may be not implemented into standard AT command set (but here I'm only guessing).
I've happened to work with old Siemens phone and it behaved almost same way, i.e. messages were sent but not saved in "Sent" box. However there was a trick - desktop software had not only "Send" but also "Save" button, and pressing of this button saved messages in "Drafts" box. So if I needed absolutely message to be saved in "Sent" box, I prepared messages and saved them to "Drafts". Later I should take my phone and send messages manually from phone, so at least I saved efforts on typing, but had to work from both PC and phone interfaces to send message.
I'm not sure if any "alternative" software for Nokia phones (like Oxygen Phone Manager) have this capability, but if you look at this screen http://www.oxygensoftware.com/en/products/opm2/images/SMSPictureMessage.gif you shall see there "Save" button which may possibly (?) implement same functionality.

Nokia Suite 3.2.100 Contact backup

I am using Nokia Suite 3.2.100. Is there any way I can save my contacts from phone as csv file or as individual contacts (vcf) file? Earlier version, it was storing contacts in mdb file, now in which format and where the files are stored in the system ? I am not instrested to put my backup on internet.

Have u tried copying them to a notepad file from the Nokia Suite directly instead of the folders in ur installed files?

Hi,
In order to backup onto my laptop, synch'd contacts using Nokia 3.2.100. Found that while contacts on memory card were synched successfully, SIM contacts weren't.
Is this a known issue with this version of Suite. Know that earlier Nokia PC Suite would backup SIM contacts also.
Also unable to login in to Nokia account from Nokia 3.2.100 as login tab keeps coming back. Use same login successfully on any web page.
Look forward to responses on above issues.
Cheers

N8 with Anna can connect to nokia suit but no cont...

Hi! I'm a N8 user with symbian anna installed. Since I updated to Anna and nokia suit (not sure), my message and contact syncrhronization takes for a very long time and in the end, it produced no result. In other words, no messages and contacts are transferred from the phone to nokia suite. No error is occured. The phone is connected. Can anyone tell me what's the solution? Thanks for spending time reading it. Have a nice day!

It seems a problem with Nokia suite. I'd suggest reinstalling Nokia suite before looking at the phone.Also, if you have a second PC available, try it on there. This is assuming your phone is working well?

New function in Nokia Suite to transfer contacts t...

From version 3.6.x whish is now available as a release download here Nokia Suite has a new feature which allows for an easy transfer of contacts, calendar and photos to your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone via SkyDrive.
Due to some publications on tech blogs and in the general media the suggestion was created that Nokia Suite directly supports Windows Phone now. This is not correct although Nokia Suite now offers an easy and fast way to transfer contacts, calendar and photos to your (new) Nokia Lumia Windows Phone.
Here's how this feature works;
Connect your Nokia S40, S60 or Nokia Belle phone to your PC using the USB cable.
After Nokia Suite is started and your phone shows as connected select Tools>Upload to SkyDrive and follow the on screen instructions. If you do not have one yet you will have to create a Microsoft account (formerly Live ID) which has a SkyDrive attached to it. You can create such account here.
You will now have to reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone. Doing so will erase all content from the phone and return it to it's 'out of the box' state. Make sure you have synced any media files to your PC(zune) or Mac(Connector). You can sync these back after the reset. Installed (paid) apps can be restored after the reset using the app Reinstaller from Marketplace.
When finished reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone using Settings>about>reset your phone.
Go through the device first use sequence and when asked enter your Microsoft Account used to save the content from Nokia Suite. When the setup has finished your will find your contacts, calendar and photos have all transferred to your Lumia. These will now also be available through your Microsoft account online.
It is important to note this transfer will only work to the Nokia Lumia at the Device First Use sequence (after a reset). If you have your Lumia setup it will not look for or sync the information copied to SkyDrive through Nokia Suite.
SMS message can not be transferred directly, but you can export all messages in Nokia Suite (Messaging>File/Export all text messages) and open the resulting Comma Separated File (.csv) in Excel or OpenOffice Calc to create an Excel sheet (.xls file) this can then be copied to your SkyDrive and opened from the Office app. You could also use a tool to create separate files from the exported .CSV file and copy all of these to SkyDrive.

I'm sure everybody understands this, but let me take a moment. Lumias are not new Symbian phones, they use the MS Windows Phone operating system. (yea I know, duh) What that means is that they conform to the MS concept of operation which is extremely web/cloud centric. They have left behind the idea that a phone is a little piece of a single PC to be cabled and sync'd periodically. It is an entity unto itself. Your data is in the cloud and the various devices, phones, tablets, PCs, connect to that data independently. The benefit to that is generally up to date data, no matter what device, and when, with virtually no user action required. The drawback is the requirement for connectivity. Not perpetual connectivity, but fairly frequent, periodic connectivity. For some the mere fact of cloud storage is an issue. That is just the way it is though.
Moving from any other platform, even older Windows Mobile ones, to this concept can be frustrating, if you weren't cloud based to begin with. The accepted way is to move your data into the cloud from the old platform, and then connect your Windows Phone to it. Again there are various ways to accomplish that. Nokia has attempted to provide some tools to make some of that transition easier. They are not responsible for, nor in a position to change the philosophy by which WP operates. Don't beat them up for how it works. If you don't like it, maybe beat them up for adopting it

Connecting Lumia 635 to PC suite

Microsoft OneDrive was still named SkyDrive in Nokia Suite 3.8. It is the same, indeed. SkyDrive is hidden in the menu bar of Nokia Suite; do you see it?

Do you need that? This is broken currently.

Nokia Suite Sync but it does'nt

synchronize =
1. To occur at the same time; be simultaneous.
2. To operate in unison.
So why describe Nokia Suite as having a SYNC function?
All it does is copy mesages on the phone to the PC, to 'Sync' it should make what is held on the PC within Nokia Suite THE SAME as what is on the phone and viz versa.
For instance if I delete old messages from within Nokia Suite it should ALSO delete them from my phone, if I delete message from my phone it should also delte them from PC Suite.
I've just deleted a whole load of messages from Nokia Suite re-run the SYNC Messages and it does nothing all the messages I deleted on the Nokia Suite are still on the phone.
Why call it a SYNC funstion when it is not, or am I missing something?
When I SYNC Outlook Contacts this is exactly what it does and if for instance the same entry has been changed on both Outlook and the phone it will identify the conflict and ask me which one to kepp, THIS IS SYNCING.
Why can't it do the same with messages?

I'm not sure what it matters what phone, this is surely a Nokia Suite shortcoming, rather than a phone model based limitation?
But in answer to your question; my main concern is SMS's rather than MMS's and the phone models I've tried to Sync are from Nokia N96 through N8 and finally Lumia 920
