Angry with Nokia Ovi

I tried to install the Ovi Suite. But every time I double click the file, it says "Initialising failure". Or there will be a dialog box popping up telling me that the file is blocked because it doesn't have a valid digital signature. I'm using Windows 7. It seems that this is not a new problem, as I see many many people in the discussion forum complaining that already. Where is Nokia's technicians? Can't they just fix it quickly? I think I'd better shift from Nokia to Apple then... Can't fix the desktop program means they are not capable enough.

...the file is blocked because it doesn't have a valid digital signature.
All large commercial PC software should have valid digital signatures. All software installations should go smoothly right off the bat.   Windows 7 64-bit is a common test case, since that is what is currently shipping in consumer PC's.
It seams for me that's Nokia doesn't try every possible test case. That's why people are unhappy and why Nokia's market share is decreasing.
Correct. Ovi Suite is costing Nokia phone sales.   While Ovi Suite may be free, PC synchronization software is a critical smartphone component.   With a good Suite, Nokia could increase smart phone market share. Without one, smart phone market share will continue to decline for Nokia. Just having a good phone is not enough in this business.   Good PC software is a prerequisite for this business.
We must also remember nothing in sw business is bulletproof.
While technically that is true, there are software quality metrics: for example, at least one QA engineer per developer.   There are examples in the marketplace where the hardware/software combination works very well.
Being angry does not help us with anything, does it?
Actually, it does help, having the web site encourage me to install an inferior Suite (Ovi) over a better one (PC), makes me angry. It's important for Nokia to know their customers are angry with the software quality of Ovi Suite.
This issue is on going. Search for the topic: Top 10 reasons not to use ovi ; stick with PC Suite

This is the third times I experience the same problems with OVI. The other times, I went back to PC Suite.
I thought that OVI was mare adapted to with my new N8. It seems that it is not the case again.

Could you please try this?
1. Please, check on Task Manager (press ctrl+shift+esc) if you see NokiaOviSuite.exe process twice on the process list? If yes, kill all the instances of NokiaOviSuite.exe, nokiaaserver.exe and NokiaMServer.exe. If not, a reboot should fix the issue.

Can't update C7-00 with Nokia Ovi Suite

Hello,
When I try to update my C7-00 with Nokia Ovi Suite, I get as far as where it displays the update version and brief description of it, then I click install and a warning pops up saying "don't disconnect your device or it may die" or so and next I get a disconnection!! The connection is re-established right away and the screen says "usb connected", I click next and the same thing repeats, I lose the connection and the screen returns to "usb connected" and repeats and repeats...
I removed all Nokia related things from my PC and reinstalled Ovi Suite, but it didn't help.
I haven't managed to install a single update with Nokia Ovi Suite. Last time I used the phone's built in update function as I encountered this same problem, but I'd really like to use Ovi Suite. What could be wrong?
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-byte)
Nokia Ovi Suite version: 3.1.1.90
Phone firmware: 014.002

I ended up using the phone's built in update function – again. Only now after the update things have turned so that I can't sign into my Nokia account with my phone and as a result of that I can't use Ovi Store or Socials-application! Every time the login screen is attempted to open, the phone is stuck loading. I let the phone load over night but nothing happened, battery just went empty (fast). Shutting down the phone, removing battery and restarting again helped briefly, I was able to sign in but the problem came back just as fast and the phone is stuck loading again. I tried removing the battery again, but this time it didn't help. Sorry for off topic. Then back...
Ovi Suite gives an option to reinstall the Anna update if there should be a problem with it, but the same connection problem prevents the reinstallation and my phone doesn't give such an option, so... Although I heared that restoring factory settings might delete the Anna update and if that happens I could reinstall using the phone... Confirmation to this ? (I'm getting a headache with this... Maybe I want an older version back... Such worked...)

Moderator, please take notice!
They lack of functionality between Thunderbird contacts and calendar and Ovi Suite is a problem many of us have been monitoring for over 2 years. It looks like still nothing has been done about it. I, for one, cannot believe that so many users have been ignored for so long. To date I still refuse to use Ovi Suite until such time as I can see evidence that will sync contacts and calendar to and from Thunderbird. In addition I see no logical reason why the Ovi Suite developers took a huge step backwards and removed another piece of PC Suite that was already working well, for several years. I am speaking of file sync. Not media files, but others, such as Office type files. The phone can open and read documents, spreadsheets, PDF's and the like. So why can we no longer sync those files? I have been doing this for 6 years, but there are others who have used it for longer than myself. It is a crucially important feature for those of us who need to carry info with us. Since PC Suite can still do the sync, I cannot, in good conscience install Ovi SUite, which I still feel is not yet ready for primetime.
Nokia developers, stop playing games. Some of us have work to do.

N97 mini not synching with Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2.1.2...

I've had my N97 mini for a few days and I was so hoping that it would be a better experience than the Sony Ericsson I had. Seems not.
Running Win7 32-bit, NOS 2.2.1.23, all software updated on PC and phone, but I just cannot get the phone to sync with the PC. When I connect the phone to the PC with the USB, it does its recognition, and all the Sync button light up and become live. But clicking them does nada.
The strange thing is that it has worked, when I first installed it on the PC.
Also, PC Suite does not start up when I connect the phone to my PC even though I've told PC Suite to start up when the phone is connected. What's going on?
And one last rant... why on earth is there no timed auto-sync facility on PC Suite?? Everytime I want to sync, I have to press buttons. Even my dumb Sony Ericsson software could do that!
Cheers,
Mart

Could you please follow this?
1. Uninstall Ovi Suite, PC Connectivity solution and Nokia Connectivity cable drivers from Add/remove program if anything is there.
2. Delete the files from here If anything is there
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Nokia\Ovi Suite
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Nokia
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\OviInstallerCache
3. Please search and download MSI clean up utility from microsoft website
Once installed please select the programs related to Nokia and click remove.
Restart Computer.
Then download from microsoft website and install Windows Installer, so that the installer is upto date.
4. Restart the PC
5. Download and Install latest OviSuite http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/nokia-ovi-suite

A problem with nokia ovi player on n8-00

hello,
I'd like to have some help about nokia ovi player.
Recently I had a french singer (léo ferré) but ovi playe doesn't recognize this artist and so it doesn't how to classify this album so he rename some songs, use some single song as an album ...
And it's the same thing in my computer "my music" file. Ovi player consider some song as an album and not those song as part of an ablum.
This is really annoying because ovi player only does what it wants and i can't do anything to do what I want with ... !!!

I hope some one can help me, perhaps a nokia member team.

Issue with Nokia Ovi Suite!

hi! i have upgraded from nokia 6230i (i used for 6 years) to E7. i have certain problems.
To sync my contacts, photos, calander entries, messages, i had downloaded nokia ovi suite on my PC (Laptop Dell Latitude E6400) and then conected my device via USB. my device showed up on the suite and started charging and i was able to sync every thing. i did this 4 to 5 times. however now when i connect my device to my PC my device does not show up in the ovi suite but my device shows Nokia Ovi Suite- Active! i have not been able to sync via USB since. whenever i connect my device via USB to my PC a dialog box appears on my PC and shows USB device not recognised. i have tried every thing from enabling the device through Device Managar, installing drivers, uninstalling the device, reinstalling the device but the same dialog box appears again when i connect via USB. I am able to sync via Bluetooth my device shows in the Ovi suite but downloading apps, games, songs, software updates etc., cant be done. Also for charging the device when i connect the charges it takes 4-5 times to show the charging info! and thereafter the device starts charging. I thought there might be a problem with the USB cable but it works fine with my friend's Nokia X2. i have checked the USB ports on my PC but they are also working fine with other things like USB mouse, Modem etc. I know my last resort is to visit customer care. but if any body can help me i will be realy greatful. I have the latest software version of Nokia Ovi Suite on my PC and also my device.

Hi,
I have the same problem running Vista and Ovi ver. 3.0.0.290. I ran through your steps but no change. It's a brand new N8 and the phone will not show as a New Device via the USB connection. Although configured to start when connecting the phone via USB, Ovi will not start so I assume the connection is not established between Ovi and the phone. My laptop sees the phone just fine and files can be transfered vie Explorer. Any other ideas? Much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Help with Nokia Ovi Suite - Phone Space Problem

Hello. I need some help. I have a smart phone Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. Well, the problem is, when i connect my phone to the Nokia Ovi Suite, and try to get some themes on my phone, i can't, because it says, that i don't have enough space on my phone. And when i check memory on my phone it shows: Left space: 2,5 mb And on memory card it says: Left: 2,5 gb. Why can't i then download anything on my phone anymore? Please help.
P.S.: Themes are not too big, they're only about 1 or 2 mb.
Using Nokia 5530 XpressMusic

The problem is the lack of free space in your phone memory. Even though the memory card has plenty of free space - some content require still space in the phone's internal memory. And in many cases it requires more space than the actual file (if the file is decompressed in the device, it takes easily twice the size of the original package).
Freeing space in the device's internal memory should help.

Phone software updating with Nokia Ovi Suite

Hi!
I'd like to update my E65 software using Ovi Suite. I know the newest phone software for E65 is 3.0633.69.00 and my phone has 2.0633.65.01 software. The problem is that Ovi Suite still claims that the phone software is up-to-date. Any suggestions!?

First off, Ovi Suite is not currently showing your phone as supported. If it came on a CD with the phone, Nokia may have later determined that there are some compatibility issues. Uninstall it and install Nokia PC Suite.
As to the update, Nokia dose not release the same update in all markets at the same time. North America seems to be the last market they release to. Wherever you are, you may have to wait. Worse, if you bought the phone from your cell service provider, you have to wait until they approve the update. Nokia has no control over that.
If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.
