Bugs in OVI Suite

Hi,
I have noticed the following gaps/bugs in Ovi Suite. Hope Nokia to fix them. Please feel free to add more.
1) I download a particular maps using OVI suite. Next time when I connect my device, it does not show the installed maps.
2) There is no way to see if update to downloaded maps are available.
3) Message sync is a bit wierd. Why are there still message on OVI suite that I already deleted on my phone.
4) When I read a message using OVI suite, the indicator light on E72 still flashes.
5) Why is there an option, contact in mobile and contact on OVI, should it be same.
6) There is no option to set default number for a Contact from OVI suite.
7) When a message arrives on phone, OVI suite takes ages to detect it unlike PC suite. The whole idea of desktop client is defeated if one has to read message on phone. Plus the light keep flashing after reading on OVI.
8) Contacts and messages should be automatically synced to online Nokia account since there is option of login.
9) Many other points in a similar post, Top 10 reasons not to use OVI.
Regards,
Vikas

On the no way to see if update for downloaded maps are available, because the new map updates arent compatible. They would only release new map updates when a new version of Ovi Maps is released as well, and the new maps would be compatible to the new version.

BUG REPORT: Ovi suite 2.2.0.245 destroys data when...

After synching my Outlook 2010 x64 calender items to my mobile (Nokia 6300) with Nokia Ovi suite 2.2.0.245, the detail info (notes) on my appointments are gone in outlook.
Really sucks, because all connection details of web meetings and so on, are lost.
Secondly, Nokia Ovi suite has no GUI for the calendar like PCSuite did, to see the calendar details.
You can sync calendar items, but there is no way to manage them like the contacts/photo's...
AND, the sync statistics do not tell what exactly had been updated.
Just the object count of updates... nothing more.
Any solution to this?

Hey,
Following r my personal opinions, ppl may hav mixed feelingz about that ...
Nokia PC suite's stability currently is high bcoz, its been there for so many years( at least i heard ppl who'r using it from 6.85.14.1 and now its something 7.1.x.x), it has got so many updates and its now very stable after so many years, Nokia Ovi Suite is now in developing stage when compared to pc suite. By saying so i m not trying 2 defend Nokia OVi suite and letting pc suite dwn, not at all....I m trying to b neutral.
As u said, PC Sync report in pc suite will inform the complete modifications done after sync, at this point i would like 2 stress 1 thing, when Nokia Ovi Suite launched intially, it was not having any sync report, but now at least it showing some details(Not as you xpct as that of PC Suite)
So like u, even Nokia Ovi Suite users like 2 see changes in sync report in upcoming releases of Nokia Ovi Suite versions.
Hope u agree

Bug with ovi suite 2.2.1.23 and java programs

Hi,
since I've installed Ovisuite 2.2.1.23 I have problems with java : Each time I try to launch a *.jar file, which must be loaded by my java environment, it's ovisuite that is launched!!
So now I have to remove ovisuite from my computer and re-install it each time I want to connect my phone to my computer...

Hey rainbowcrypt,
i feel this is not a bug as we do have some .jar and .jad software installation files available to install in Symbian phones thru ovisuite. This might be the reason for associating the .jar files to ovisuite. As satari told either you could use 'open with' to change the application you use everytime. Or in the same 'open with' option you have one more option to use the same application everytime you use. In this way you can permanently make the .jar files to be opened in java and not in ovisuite.

Ovi suite 3.1.1.90 won't stay logged on to Ovi

Is there any way to fix this? you can check the box "stay logged on" but it has no effectg. every time i sync i have to re-enter my username and password.
Is there any way to fix this? It's beyond annoying
Win 7 Pro 32
I have already uninstalled all things Nokia, nuked all folders that i could find (including in c:/appdata) plus deleted all registry entries that I could find.
(98 days to go until I can finally get rid of the N97 and Ovi disaster, which will have been 730 days too many)
Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

@ahxsisu
In exactly 98, now 97 days my contract is up and I can end my ordeal with the N97 and Ovi-Suite.
I am counting the days until i can put these truly unpleasant, tedious two years behind me. Instead of making my life easier (as my trusty old Palm T|X did) The N97 and Ovi-Suite have made things needlessly complicated and tedious.
There were all the bugs in Ovi Suite, removed features (Music sync), buggy features were axed instead of fixed and new bugs introduces (can't add .m4a files to music).
Worse though is the truly pathetic N97 handset, poorly designed and conceived and even more poorly executed.
I wonder which dimwit came up with the 32 GB mass memory / 64mb main memory split? (Of which I can never get more than about 12 mb free, hence I cannot even use QT based apps.
The thing crashes, freezes and wokrs erratically on a more or less regular basis and it's not a faulty unit, all three of my N97s exhibited the same nasty behavior.
I have to take the battery out so frequently (~5 to 10 times a week) to restart this brick (because nothing else works) that the back cover barely stays in place now.
That's why I am counting don the days and I will derive great pleasure in taking a big hammer to the N97 as soon as I get a new handset that most definitely won't be made by Nokia.
The N97 and Ovi Suite have singlehandedly destroyed almost 14 years of brand loyalty that was only overshadowed by my time with the also quite **bleep** 6280 that I eventually got exchanged for a 5800xm that worked ok.

First of all it's not possible to have OVI Suite in my auto-start since all other programs stom responding after being loaded.
When removing OVI Suite I can start my computer and do whatever I want. But when I start OVI Suite manually I can do everything until it tries to log in into the server. From that point on OVI Suite does not respond anymore. Further, all other programs are crashed as well, i.e. firefox does not load new data, other programs can not be started anymore, etc... Does anyone have any idea what the cause might be,
Thanks a lot in advance,
Nussi

I've got the same problems with Ovi Suite (the actual download) and my Vista-64-PC. Whith Ovi Suite installed and the system freshly started , Ovi tells me that it cannot connect to the internet (although the pc is already connected to the net by lan) and hangs. And even without starting OVI, just after having it installed, some other programs which normally cause no trouble (e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice ...) cannot be used any more. If I try to start them, nothing seems to happen, but the Task Manager shows that they are running as process but not as application.
Nokia PC Suite on the other side causes no problems. Seems to be a big bug of Ovi Suite. Anyone from Nokia reading this support ciscussion?

Nokia Ovi Suite 2,2,0,245... bugs anyone??

This 2,2,0,245 version is an improvement.. Connectivity issues are less likely. More CPU friendly. et many bugs to be still fixed..
I am running an X6 with this version of suite.
Gripes
Music, It takes hours to transfer my music that i can transfer via USB file transfer in minutes.
Maps, i went on holidays O/S so i loaded a new country.. the only way i can remove that country is to wipe the whole lot of my maps and voices and re download there isn't an uninstall option.. i am not worried about bandwidth but for users on capped internet plans or slow connections this isn't good..
Update screen
It tells me that i have an update available for Shazam.. i attempt to install the update but receive an error screenafter downloading..

Tech News - July 23 Nokia chief talks about future and losses
NOKIA chief executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo has urged an end to speculation surrounding his future at the company.
The call came as the world's largest mobile phone maker said its second-quarter profit fell 40 per cent.
Nokia had warned investors last month to expect poor results.
The company has been hurt by its failure to compete effectively in the market for high-end smartphones against iPhone maker Apple and devices based on Google software.
That shortcoming may cost Mr Kallasvuo his job.

Correct.
I'm using 22.007
Thanks for Your efforts here.
One more thing about the issue with ()
It might be phone related. SMS from Phone is also not working to those number. No "Sacking" needed from the Ovi Team... Sorry.
Regarding other issues: Glad You don't have those.
Specially the quick search not working from time to time. Looks like some people do, other don't. You should go ahead and check forums for E-series and read some more about them.
My main issue is the Contact related issues.
The "missing features" I believe You are missing as well...
Surely your search does not handle "Save As" name or include company in quick search (that's from the home screen)?
Lets say you want to call the Helpdesk on Nokia. In outlook this contact is entered with the fields Function/Title=Helpdesk, Company=Nokia. It is saved as "Helpdesk, Nokia" or "Nokia Helpdesk" etc as display name. I don't believe that regular business users 2010 still saves this as Firstname=Helpdesk and Lastname "Nokia" to comply with their phones quick search.
On my HTC when entering "Nok" or "Hel" this contact entry immediately would be displayed from standby mode. In E72 not.
Same regarding categories: Does Your E72 calendar really handle categories other then Nokia standard?
Here's some reading regarding Maps issues with voices.... I've today installed 3.04 Beta and the issue persists.
Really: I haven't got any Hocus-Pocus software on my E72. I'm using MfE for syncing contacts/calendar/tasks. Ovi Suite for syncing Notes. Ovi maps for GPS.
I've resetted a couple of times, both hard and soft resets. No change.
In my opinion I'm using my E72 as any other of my customers would do. Of course I'm not recommending this phone for the moment.
In fact chance of even buying a new Nokia is miles out of sight. To much important missing, to much important not working efficiently.
Lets hope a update addresses this.

Bug found on ovi suite 2.2.1.23

Ovi maps data update through Ovi Suite A bug?

Don't know if its a problem but the darn Ovi suite keeps prompting to update the maps data in my N97 mini even I have already done it twice. Seems like it just read and check my phone maps data and just erase everything and download all the data over again. Doesn't seems to be optimized. Should have program the updater check the data files size or date tag and just update those outdated files, instead of everything. If I have a huge maps data in my phone it'll be a loooong wait.
Anyone having the same problem?
I'm still getting prompt today to update my maps data. Doubt that nokia tech can update their maps data that fast.

iwant gps data

Ovi Suite + 5230 USB not working

Preamble:
I recently connected my Nokia 5230 mobile phone to my PC via USB connection and loaded up Ovi Suite (2.2.1.23). Everything worked lovely. But alas! Both an Ovi suite update was available, as well as a update for the phone itself! So I downloaded the latest version of Ovi Suite (3.0.0.284).
Unfortunately, now Ovi Suite does not detect when I select "PC Suite" USB mode (selected on the phone screen). This essentially makes Ovi Suite useless.
So I followed some advice on other discussion pages (more on that later) and reinstalled the Ovi Suite. The problem persisted.
Here are some pictures to help you understand my problem:
http://i.imgur.com/5IknF.jpg
The computer is able detect the phone is connected via USB. I can even browse the contents of the phone memory and memory card. Upon detecting the connected phone, and me pressing 'PC Suite' on the phone screen, it will show this:
http://i.imgur.com/lV0rs.jpg
I cannot progress past this screen. The Ovi Suite simply does not recognise that I've selected that option on the phone.
Defense:
I know what your thinking. "Just another USB thread". Well, I did in fact read plenty of threads on this forum before posting, and have spent the last few hours uninstalling and reinstalling Ovi Suite and drivers in various ways (as suggested in those threads), with no success.
The following is a list of forum threads which I have read and tried all the solutions found in each, and I have copied the solutions (which appear to have worked for other people), for your convenience:
/t5/Nokia-Ovi-Suite/Ovi-Suite-PC-Suite-USB-Connection-Problem/td-p/682828
Solutions which did not work for me:
Could you please follow these steps and check?
1. Disconnect your phone from PC if connected.
2 .Open Control Panel and go to ‘Programs and Features’
3. From the list of available programs, choose ‘Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver’
4. Click on the ‘Change’ button on top toolbar.
5. In the setup dialog box that pops up next, choose ‘Repair’ and select ok. Wait for setup to complete.
6. Restart the computer if prompted.
7. Now connect your phone to the PC. Driver installation should complete and PC suite (hopefully) should detect your mobile properly now.
1. Uninstall all nokia related applications like Ovisuite, pc suite, connectivity cable driver,pc connectivity solutions, nokia software updater etc. from ur PC.
2. Restart your PC
3. Now download and install the recent ovisuite from http://www.ovi.com/suite
4. After installation, disconnect/disable your internet connection (this will make sure that the PC use the drivers which comes with ovisuite and prevent the PC from downloading any new drivers from internet) and then connect your mobile and wait for drivers and support software installation.
5. After drivers installation you can connect your mobile to ovisuite from ovisuite screen.

I found this on the Europe forum and it worked for me--finally!
From /t5/Nseries-and-S60-Smartphones/Synchronisation-error-code-8393f010/m-p/734155/highlight/true#M21944...

Choose Nokia Nokia Cable Connectivity then Change and repair
Do the same for PC Connectivity Solution - Change then repair
Reboot computer
After re-starting the computer, I also followed this portion of a suggestion from another post (don't know if it made a difference or not):
"connected the device, waited till all the drivers were loaded.
Then launched Ovi suite"
(From /t5/Nokia-Ovi-Suite/E52-Sync-Error-8393f010-838c03ee/m-p/740481)
Ovi Suite then recognized my device and the sync appears to have gone smoothly. I hope it works for you too! It's ridiculous that it causes so many problems though--I've wasted many hours on something that should have installed correctly the first time.
Other threads with this problem, which I came across that mention the same problem with various other phones:

Zship's revelations:
So this is not really a problem for me. I have the working, older (2.2.1.23) version of Ovi Suite installed on my netbook, and sure enough, it works fine, I just tried it. I wont be updating Ovi Suite on it though. I also could probably just download the update via 3.5G using just the phone itself, but the problem remains that a simple software update has caused a critical connectivity problem between your software and hardware. Given that many Nokia customers would have less technical know-how than say, myself or anyone else on this forum, this problem is a quite likely a huge inconvenience to them, they probably wouldn't visit these discussions and spend 5 hours reinstalling software like I just did, and they surely would be thinking twice before purchasing another Nokia device in the future.
tl;dr - Nokia recommended update breaks connectivity between software and device, various attempts to fix seemingly simple problem don't work.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

SAME PROBLEM. And none of the many suggested solutions has worked for me yet. I want to thank all on this thread (and many others) for their help. I've learned a lot but I haven't gotten to the bottom of it. I think maybe Nokia needs to ... uh ... bloody well BOTHER TO FIX THIS ISSUE themselves, maybe. Like, cuz they're PAID FOR IT and I'M NOT. Harrumph.
I run Windows XP, and was on Media Player 11, but have rolled back to 9 and 10. I have a Nokia E 72. I have all the latest Nokia cable-drivers, PC Suite, OVI Suite, Connectivity software, etc.. The symptoms are as follows: when I plug in the phone by USB cable, the laptop won't recognize it. It says "USB device faulty" or "failed to load properly" and refuses to get the hardware into its brain. The Device Manager shows only a "Unknown Device" which I cannot install drivers onto. Taking the extra media-card out of the phone doesn't make any difference -- nothing I've done will make the computer recognize the main (built-in) card in the phone. I can't browse to it via any sort of populate / repopulate disk drive, or any other method of connecting it.
As I understand it, this is some conflict with the phone and the new concept of MTP. Media Transfer Protocol confuses the computer, causing it to kind-of think that the phone is kind-of a media player, when in fact it's a whole lot more. So, the "parent" doesn't get loaded, then the rest of the phone doesn't get loaded, then it kind-of tries to load some MTP but fails, etc.. If I could browse to the phone through a non-Nokia connection I'd be happy to do so in order to implement any of a number of the suggestions above. But I can't get the computer to recognize the phone when the phone is plugged in by USB, regardless of all the solutions above.
The problem began a few days ago. It just up and wouldn't recognize the phone. I hadn't installed any updates that I knew of on either item, but it's possible that my memory is faulty and a newer version of this or that snuck in there and screwed it all up. I have tried a serious roll-back to a Restore Point about six weeks old, but that didn't solve the problem. This suggests to me that the problem is phone-resident, since the rollback was to a computer-based Restore Point and I don't have phone rollback capability.
This seriously hampers me. PC Suite, OVI, and some future version of Nokia Suite, will all be useless to me unless Nokia accomplishes the stunning act of supporting their software. I won't hold my breath. Just in general, you'd think that plug-and-play of a phone into your computer would be a lot simpler. Just take the cord -- stick it in the phone; stick it in the computer -- and shazam, you're plugged in. But NOOOOOO we're on NOOOOOOKIA ... Now I know why Microsoft wanted to buy them so badly. They knew they'd all get along and have the same assumptions about software -- that it doesn't really matter whether it works reliably on a user's computer at his home, as long as it works in theory on some programmer's ideal personal computer in Seattle once in a rare while. Nokia? Meet Microsoft. Microsoft? You and Nokia will get along juuuust fiiiine ...

Syncing issues, Ovi Suite on Windows 7: Some sugge...

Hi. I was complaining on my twitter about Ovi's last release and someone asked me to report about my experiences here. For most of the issues I did a workaround by myself but I think that I'll not be the only one reporting them and experiencing the same problems, so I'd like to show my thoughts as a suggestion for the next releases.
When I started Ovi Suite after the installation to explore the changes, I had a massive system slowdown and I'm running a Core 2 Quad! Then I realized that Ovi was indexing ALL of my PC musics and photos, including subfolders.
Ok, that's what the software was designed for, the problem is that I have over 30GB of images on my Pictures folder and 22GB on Music. I never checked to immediate syncing when my device is connected neither search my local library, but I just clicked on Music tab and my PC went to a extreme slowdown, NokiaMServer.exe on top CPU usage and crashed. It got worse when I connected my Nokia: It forced to sync the entire 22GB Music files on a 8GB SD! Someone missed a condition there to check if the device has enough space!
I'm not discussing how I sync my music files but I download a lot of 320kb bitrate songs which each one has 11~25MB so as my headphones won't play a louder sound than any 96KB AAC, I convert all that I want to hear on my device and just drag and drop with all of metatags including album covers, works for me. From now I'll put all of my converted files on a specific folder, sync with Ovi and keep everything organized BUT why the hell isn't there a screen asking me to select the default folders for syncing on the first run?
...And the same thing happened to my pictures, just a little bit worse. My system was crashing, Windows Explorer crashed, NokiaMServer went to 25% CPU usage on Task Manager because of thumbnail processing! Really, why the hell would I like to put my entire Pictures folder on my cellphone, especially huge files?
To stop Music indexing, I just selected all songs and deleted them from the Ovi's database/collection without messing with my iTunes library (though some metatags and album covers were corrupted) but for the pictures, deleting 35MB from catalog on my own computer lasted longer than using Bluetooth or the old Nokia Phone Browser to send a 100MB file!
Removing the folders from "folder-watch" or changing the library addresses over the Options should clean Ovi's library/collection but it didn't worked, Ovi kept adding pictures and songs. The only way to stop the ridiculous thumbnail processing (from pictures which I also moved to another folder just in case) was deleting "\AppData\Roaming\Nokia\Intellisync", "\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store" and "\AppData\Roaming\Nokia\Ovi Suite" and seting Ovi's to sync to another folder.
I know that there's a lot of people that don't put that amount of files on Windows default documents folders but I can't understand why this software is so slow for simple commands that other softwares can do better! Even the old PC Suite with Nokia Phone Browser was faster when copying or moving a file to another folder and now it's not even modifying or sending files, it is only reading and indexing!
So, I think that it's not much to ask to Nokia/Ovi developers:
1. Let users choose the default folders for syncing BEFORE start syncing.
2. Faster indexing and exclusion for Ovi's library. Don't waste time processing a half-screen-sized thumbnail, just show a 128x128 and if the user wants to see the full-sized picture, make Ovi launch system's default picture viewer/editor. After all, your own pictures don't have DRM...
3. Nokia Music: Can someone explain me how to lock that damn scroll-bar? Because when I'm exploring my songs suddenly the bar goes back to the top! If you want to make a stylish scroll-bar, fine, but please, make it functional as a normal scroll-bar! Otherwise use system's default!
4. Again about Nokia Music: Something I thought it was nice was letting users choose what application they wanted to use for syncing songs, because some legacy devices don't work with Nokia Music and transferring files from Nokia Music Manager was faster because you didn't had to change you connection type from PC Suite to Media Device. Fortunately for me, iTunes AAC format works fine to reduce disk usage on my devices, but it would nice if Ovi could convert songs for a smaller file size as Music Manager did.
5. I'm also experiencing some random nokiaaserver.exe crashes without any Nokia application running at the same time.
That's all. I hope someone read it and understand my point of view.

use this version. it has most of the bugs fixed...
keep in mind that if you are using a win 764bit, there are still issues with crashing.

Ovi Suite 2.0 no photo view in grid mode

Hi I have the latest Ovi Suit and I am connecting my 5800 music express. Once the photoes are synched with my computer only a small version of the actual images is imported (3KB per image). I am sure that the version on the phone is about 550KB in size. Also when I come to view the images in view thumbnails no preview is avalable of the images. The low res picture comes visible only in vew single photo mode.
Is this a software bug or do I have some wrong settings ?
Regards
Rodrick Borg

Sorry for this mess. There was a bug in the photo import from some devices that has now been fixed but the damage done by those faulty imports does not correct itself in the database.
The safest way to re-import the photos is to do it manually, that way you will know what has changed.
Open Ovi Suite and connect your device (preferably with USB, BT also works but it will take longer).
Go to the photos view and check from the device view (select from lower left pane titled "Photos in <device name>" the "All" folder) that your images are visible there.
For each image you want to restore, go to the PC view (select from upper left pane titled "Photos" the "All" folder) and find the corresponding image on the PC. If you can't see thumbnails for the images on the PC then you will have to find the correct thumbnail by checking the filenames that appear on mouse roll-over or by left-clicking and selecting "Properties".
Delete the image from the PC view (press DEL key, left-click and selecte "Delete" or drag and drop to the "Deleted photos" folder). Note that this doesn't actually delete anything, it just prevents the image being shown in Ovi Suite.
Select the "Deleted photos" folder from the upper left pane
Select the image you just deleted and delete it again. Be sure to choose "Yes" when asked if you want to delete the file from the computer.
Now you can manually import the image from the phone.
Select the photo from the device view (from lower left pane titled "Photos in <device name>", "All" folder)
Drag and drop the image on the "All" folder of the PC navigation pane (upper left pane)
You should see a progress bar for the import and the thumbnail and correct image should then be available in the PC.
Once you get the idea of what to do you can also use multi-select (Ctrl-click) to delete and re-import serveral images at a time.
Hope this helps.

Ovi Suite sync issues

My N95 and PC Suite sync'ed perfectly, then came Ovi. What a pain, however I got used to it.
In the last week I have installed the latest bug fix for Ovi Suite. Now my phone will not sync. Ovi suite sees the phone, and I can message etc from my PC keyboard, but Ovi suite just sits inert when asked to sync. It shows in the various boxes "waiting to sync" but just does nothing and frquently hangs.
Any solution?

Hi All,
Please read my post in following link for a workaround to this sync issue.

Need help with Nokia ovi suite v2.1.1.1 & nokia PC...

The problem is that whenever I put back the messages to my N79 using nokia ovi suite v2.1 or v2.1.1.1 or nokia PC Suite v7.1.40 using drag & drop , the messages are displaying in the last name then first name format, however it should be First name then Last name format as my contacts are already set to first name last name format
I had already tried updating phone software done by nokia care centre, hard reset, drag & drop, use different versions of ovi suite but nothing is working. So tell me which software is causing this problem. So plz help me in this problem
Is it a firmware problem or Is it a bug in nokia handsets or it's a international standard formatbecause if it's the 3rd case then make a fix for India because here people likes to have first name last name format.

Ovi Suite 3 and Outlook synchronization with E65

With the last version of Ovi suite 2 I was able to synchronize both contact and calendar with my Outlook. After installing Ovi Suite 3 I'm able to Synchronyze only contacts but not the calendar. The Option to synchronize the calendar is not available in "Synchronization Options".
This is my configutration:
Nokia E65 connected with Bluetooth
Windows XP Pro
Outlook 2007
Ovi Suite 3
Can someone help me? Calendar Synchronization is foundamental for my work.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I guess there might be ccorruption while install, becasue calendar sync is supported. Please be informed that there is a new version of ovi suite i.e 3.0.0.290, with improved features and many bug fixes. Or you can download from www.nokia.com/ovisuite
