I dislike Ovi Suite a great deal

I've been using PC Suite for years very successfully. I'm using a Nokia 6303.
I can send & receive texts, manage my contacts, and sync my calendar, and everything works.
I installed OviSuite, and lost calendar management, and it tried to make me do lots of things I didn't want to. I think PC Suite has a great deal going for it.
In fact with two improvments it would be superb - the ability to manage / edit / make notes and to manage / edit the to do list.
My tuppence ha'penny.

Yes, I saw a post on one of these threads about a powered USB hub so I ran over to Office Depot and picked one up. I was finally able to see the HD in the Airport Utility. Yay!

Bravo! Ovi Suite 3.0.0.284 yet to deal with NTLM a...

Finally Nokia managed to map the NTLM authentication issues once again with their latest release of OVI suite!!
Suite once again fails to pass the credentials to firewall servers like Microsoft ISA while trying to ovi account. Parody factor is, majority of the suite segments like Maps, software update, sync seamlessly manage to establish connections to respective servers (ie, passess the log in credentials to the firewall) while the sign in segment miserably fail to forward the same credentials to the firewalls.
The betalab website, another **bleep**, claims they already addressed this issue from the early stages of beta testing. This is utter irresponsible way of assessing an issue which is ON from ages, reminds me the early days of Google chrome browser.
Hey Nokia, why don't you consult one of the developers from chrome browser team and LEARN how to pass NTLM authentication to firewalls? Well just a suggestion.
However if somebody is looking for a workaround method, follow this:
Create a domain name set "Nokia Servers" add *.nokia.com, *.ovi.com
Create a specific rule, and allow http, https towards this domain name set for all users

When I heard that Nokia were teaming up with Microsoft I thought that it would be a retrograde step. However, after loosing literally hours of my life that I will never get back _ I can see that maybe it is a good idea that Nokia pull in some expertise in writing software that may not be beautiful - MS software can rarely be accused of that! But MS software does at least work. I know I have one of the least prestigious nokia phones - 5230 - but I do expect to be able to use the software that nokia advertises and supplies. The continual problems endemic with their software are making me consider taking action against them under the trading standards legislation for making false representations.
I am more than grateful for the assistance proffered by members of this forum for all their assistance - however, none of the suggestions have worked & do think that it's time that the Nokia people pick up their Iphones and ring their new US mates and get a solution to this ASAP - apologies for the rant but I am furious at the waste of my time that this represents.

Ovi Suite install problems..

Hey ATN NOKIA CODERS! All I am trying to do is browse my backed up .nbu files but its getting silly, I shoot video clips on latest firmware and boy the camera startup is much faster I voice record wavs on my N95 and I have just tried NOKI a nice free to try app for doing just this, but no thumbnail pics of the videos and cant drag them onto say Media Player Classic or Double click to run the chosen video or wav file soo!
I have just downloaded the longwinded and large install called Ovi Suite, Microsoft Windows Media Center Failed to load error with server timeout.. great start! not! everything else installed except for oh Ovi Suite! so after its done installing Nokia Music and Photo Gallery (which wasnt as painful as installing microsofts Photo Gallery!) I hit the Synch button and crossed my fingers but when it got upto 33 images out of 197 and it died trying to transfer the videos as they showed no Preview thumbnails just blank ones and it crashed haha. in fairness I need to reboot. but I tried to run the Ovi install again to have a go at re-trying the missing errored timed out apps, but it did not show the Windows Media update or the Ovi Guide Install that failed to install, going into C:\windows\programfiles\Nokia folder I am able to sart Nokia Photo Gallery and Music and tried to goto Nokia Music site as i make music and want to submit my own tracks to sell but even that errored with server errors. try again later. will report more later, happy new year!

"mistakes i've made a few... " err above post further down the page I call Ovi Suite "Ovi Guide" sorry easily done with my dislexia and bad spalling.
Ok Ovi Suites "Photo Gallery" is a pile of over inflated nonsense!!146MBs!?? I gave it a fair go and i have maxed out my ram so when I say starting Photo Gallery was slow and very painful it was very slow and very painful. The Green Ovi flash screen did not disapear for about 3 minutes. I have less than 100 pics and about 10 videos so nothing scary to deal with. Dosnt work half as well as Nokia Video Manager in PC Suite 7.1 so credit is due to Video Manager. Nokia Photo Gallery has been Uninstalled. and Nokia Music for the same reasons, it crashed trying to link to its music shop, not good. it's only at 1.1 so theres time and room for improvement so I will keep an eye on it. I now use freeware "Irfan View" free app off www.filehippo.com 1.48mbs! not 146MBs. With Irfan View installed it simply does a great job of displaying picks and videos in a thumbnail style that is very customisable so I can have black frames with black backgrounds. Videos can be dragged into Media Player Classic. Perfect simple and small in size and well coded, starts instantly. PC Suite 7.1 is great for browsing vides but NOT from .nbu's if it could it would be perfect. It's the best all rounder from Nokia yet and theres always "Noki" for browsing .nbu files.

Nokia PC Suite/Ovi Suite - MS Outlook '10 x64

Hello,
can somebody tell me how long I still have to wait until I can restart syncing my contacts, calenders etc. with MS Outlook!?
Obviously, Ovi developers have been unable to update the Ovi Suite so far so that it would be able to properly sync with the latest version of MS Outlook. That is quite annyoing, can you finally deal with that problem? Maybe before I buy a new mobile?
That would be really, really great, thanks.
Cheers,
Fellkneul

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.
or
2.Choose from Sync menu “Repair sync”. This operation may create duplicate entries in case the sync engine is not able match the records from different end points with each other. Also, all the deleted items which have not been removed from the other end points will be restored to the end point where the item was deleted.
or
3. Update phone software (Please take backup before going for software updates.
or
4. Atlast uninstall NOS

Installing OVI Suit on Windows Vista Enterprise di...

Hy,
I have a great problem with the OVI suit installation on a Windows Vista Enterprise 32Bit.
Before i install ovi suit, there was the "Nokia PC Suit" on the PC this software is uninstalled now, and also i run the “Nokia_PC_Suite_Cleaner_7_1_1.exe“.
Also i have browsed the Support Board and Google/Bing for solutions,
But nothing of these entries can help me with this installation.
OVI Suit version is actually downloaded yesterday (3.0.0.290).
The installation stops at 1/3 of the normal run.
I have tested the installation on 3 machines like the problem PC, without a problem.
So i have no idea what i can do to run the installation to the end.
Now I have started a new try to install the OVI Suit, and deleted before all Registry-Keys.
By the way, is this really normal that the installation needs more than 120MB RAM?
So it’s 16:30 at your site next business day is Monday, i hope you have all details and can help me.
Greats from Austria

How to Sync N9 with Ovi Suite!

N9 and ovi suite can Sync!
I have Just Found This Website showing how to sync N9 with Ovi Suite!. I have just tried it and it works great, calendar, contacts etc.
Here's the link, please follow the instructions correctly:
http://mynokiablog.com/2011/11/01/nokia-suite-updated-to-v3-2-98-0-ovi-suite-sync-with-n9/

I have found the root cause for the crash of Nokia Suite 3.2.100 while synchronizing N9 calendar with Outlook
Basically Outlook synchronization with N9 is working for contacts, gallery, messages, notes.
I had the situation that calendar synchronization ended in crash of the Nokia Suite. The root cause was that after first synchronization some time ago a new calendar PC-SYNC was created on the N9. Due to whatever reason this calendar caused a conflict during the synchronization and the Nokia Suite crashed.
I have deleted this calendar on the N9 and tried to synchronize the Original N9 calendar again..... and it worked.... Now again there is a new PC-SYNC available on the N9 but it doesn't cause problems anymore... Synced N9 calendar with Outlook several times and the crash didn't reoccur....
Looks like the issue is solved now :-)

Help Please - How do I get Ovi Suite to work prope...

After being warned NOT to download the Nokia software that came with my phone (ie Ovi Suite), I became desperate after a slight accident with said phone, rendered the screen virtually unreadable - so I thought I could use Ovi Suite to pull contacts and other required info off my 6710 and try to "upload" data to a loan phone and eventually to whatever new phone I end up with.
Unfortunately, my advisors' advice seems to have been correct and I've had nothing but trouble for hours since downloading the latest version of Ovi from the Nokia website.
It wont sync, or spends hours appearing to be trying without actually achieving anything. I then tried to look for updates (thinking that may be the problem)... same deal... hours of cpu usage - but no results... I eventually, in all cases, have had to terminate the action and / or program to move on to other things that DO work (not within Ovi though!).... I have since searched the Nokia site to find that there is no software update available for my phone and as far as I can see, I'm running most current version of Ovi (V 2.2.1.23).
Have I just wasted half a day and am I best off to just remove the software and cut my (time) losses or is there are reasonable fix or simple solution to the problem?

Connect the phone to PC using the USB Cable..(PC Suite Mode..)
Open the OVI Suite..
Give some time to get your phone recognised ..(An Icon with the Phone model should be visible in Bottom - Left window of OVI Suite..
Goto Sync-->Sync Now and select the data you want to sync..
You may also goto Tools-->Backup and select the data you want to back up..
I am sorry if you have followed this already..

Ovi Suite does not recognise special MP3 files

My Ovi Suite does not import some of my MP3 files, even though they have proper ID3 tags (there are even albums where some files are recognised and others not, although I can see no difference in the "quality" of the tags). If I directly choose one of those to add, the program always states "0 files added".
I would like to get ALL of my MP3s (approx 2GB) into Ovi suite, not just 80%. Can anyone give me a hint why Ovi suite dislikes some of my files?
Thanks!
Fabian

Hi,
Thank you for your post on Nokia Ovi Suite
Could you please provide with some samples of the MP3 files ( 2 or 3 of them).
You could either attach it here or you can upload them on Files on Ovi.
To upload them on Files on Ovi, follow the steps below:
1. Log into Ovi.com
2. Click on files
3. Type in your username and password
For a user who has not set up files on ovi on his computer, it will give an option to download the file connector.
4. Click Download and install the file connector.
5. Then you will find the Sign in to Ovi Files icon in the desktop.
6. Close the browser and then click on Sign in to Ovi Files icon from desktop.
7. It will connect to ovi.com again. Login with username and password.
8. Left pane shows the directory like the windows explorer.
9. Anytime file status will show the respective file/folder
10. Select the file which you want to send and then right click the file and select the option send.
11. Type the email address [email protected]
12. Select the epiration date and then add comments if any.
13. Then select the option to store in anytime file.
The email receipient will receive an email with a link to download the file.
Looking forward to hear from you at the earliest

How to export contacts saved in OVI suite 3.0.0.29...

Hi All,
Please I am in a great disaster and I will appreciate any help from anyone.
my problem is as follows :-
I was having Nokia N97 mobile and I am now having OVI suite 3.0.0.290 installed on my laptop, the problem is that I was synchronizing contacts between mobile and OVI suite only and the option selected in syncing contacts options is "Don't Sync" and not Microsoft outlook"" and not "microsoft outlook express".
The problem now is that my mobile was stolen and when I opened OVI suite without connecting my N97 stolen mobile I found the contacts there and I can edit and manage anyone of them as much as I can but I can't export them out of OVI suite.
So does anyone have the knowledge on how to export the contacts saved on OVI suite without connecting the mobile to it?
your help is appreciated

First activate microsoft outlook and then do acoording to following link

Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 - Music library problems...

Hello,
Just bought a Nokia E5, looks to be a sweet phone so far...
Only, Ovi Suite is just annoying. Very slow on communicating with the phone (USB connection) and some big problems.
Impossible to delete music from the library ! How is that ?? And also the library takes ages to add a new folder.
Also, not seeing the playlist i've made on the phone ? Either on mass storage connection, in the playlist folder of the phone, nothing... But should be on a other threat.
Hope you can solve the library problem because it's quite annoying.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

@satari
Yeah, alright already!
We get that without you plastering this message over EVERY single thread dealing with issues of that truly useless and pathetic piece of software called Ovi-Suite.
Especially since the new version DOES NOT SOLVE ANY OF THE ISSUES AT HAND IN THE THREADS YOU MASS PASTED INTO!
Ovi-Suite 3.x still no longer syncs music, which IMHO is a basic function. Who on earth wants to be forced to manually update the phone playlists and songs whenever songs are added on the PC? That is beyond backwards.
Hello? It's 2011, not 1991.
Ovi Suite 3.x still randomly refuses to add songs to the library on the PC (e.g. it skips several songs from an album folder, yet they play fine when added to the phone manually outside Ovi-Suite), an issue that can only be corrected by deleting the entire library on the PC and recreating it. A "repair library" function is notoriously absent.
I'd like a so called Smartphone to make tasks easier and more comfortable instead of harder.
Newer Nokia handsets may be slightly less bad, but the N97 with Ovi-Suite is still the smartphone/desktop combo from hell.
The fruit phone/ITunes combo is sadly restricted by the greed and desire to control everything of Apple, but at least the products work reliably and consistently for the most part. The same is true for 'Droid devices.
Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

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.

Ovi Suite update fails

Hi, Ovi Suite started to prompt me to update to the latest version recently.
The installation runs, but fails with the error:
"Installer: The older version of Ovi Desktop Sync Engine cannot be removed. Contact your rechnical support group."
I've since uninstall all the Nokia/Ovi apps via Windows Add/Remove and tried installing again but get the same error.
After uninstalling everything from Add/Remove, All entries in the Start Menu are removed, but I can see in Program Files there is still a "Nokia\Nokia Ovi Suite\NokiaOviSuite.exe" which I can run. The Help-->About info shows me this version info:
PC Connectivity Solution 9.45.0.0
Connectivity Cable Driver 7.1.23.0
Maps Service API 3.0.38.0
Nokia mPlatform 2.6.40
Ovi Desktop Sync Engine 1.1.0.77
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit Edition, Service Pack 3
Language: English

Detected Bluetooth stacks:

- Broadcomm (Version: 5.1.0, Build: 3000)
When I try to install the new version, I can see new versions of "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" and "PC Connectivity Solution" are listed in Windows Add/Remove Programs list.
Any suggestions on how to cleanly remove the existing version so i can install the newest version will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ravi
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, I have heard this problem before. Can you try following instructions:
You can try to run repair and then uninstall Ovi Suite. If it
uninstalls then installing new Ovi Suite should also be possible.
If this doesn't help you have to download Windows Installer CleanUp
Utility. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Direct link: http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983...
First clean Ovi Desktop Sync Engine with this utility and then try to
install Ovi Suite again. You may need to clean some other msi entries
too. Hopefully this helps.
Cheers, Samuli

I dislike Ovi Suite a great deal
