Messaging with PC Suite

Hi all
I am wondering if any of you can help me with this problem please. When i try to send a message with PC Suite the "To" box at the top will give me a number of numbers for the person whos name i enter. The only problem is that it will not allow me to choose some of the numbers displayed. When i use the "To" box to open the data base of numbers it shows me that most of my contacts are in twice. Any idea as to how I might remedy this matter?
Regards
Hugh

The number it will select does not have to be a mobile. It regularly selects a home no and will not select the mobile that is visible at the same time.
The version of PC Suite i am using is 6.5 12 with XP on one pc and windows 2000 on another. Same problem with both pcs but it will pick differnet nos on both.

Hi all,
I am using Nokia 6680. I was using PC Suite 6.5 previously and i cant read my sms messages from the PC browser, nor the PC Suite.
I follow the advice from this forum to upgrade to PC Suite 6.84, and i still cant read sms messages from my PC. does anyone have antidote to this problem?
Much appreciation!

Hi Miksu-san, thanks for sharing. yes that does help. Thanks for enlightening. Will need to press on F5 for it to update.
Miksu-san, do u know if there's anyway we can extract the sms data, in bulk and in organized way, except from purchasing the Noki software? Much appreciation in advance.
Matt, to view, please see my reply with the same problem under nokia 6270 thread.

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit...

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit 7.1.18.0 to my Nokia 5800
I am trying to import a csv file that contains text messages (Note that this file was created using PC Suit 7.1.18.0) to a subfolder that I have created to My Folders but PC Suits only imports the text messages to the Draft folder. Note that initially it shows that the messages are import in the correct folder but after a refresh it shows them in the Draft Folder. Is their any setting that I should change in the PC Suit or the phone? My computer runs on Windows XP Service Pack 3 and the Nokia 5800 was upgraded to the latest firmware v20.0.012
Thanks for your help

Most phones only allows importing of draft and archived box for SMS.
To do a restoring, you need to backup the SMS as a .nbu file using PC Suite and restore later.
If you got an SD card, you can also do a backup on the SD Card (backup.arc) then restore later (reset and restore: backup.arc and mmc).
What's the law of the jungle?

The messages sent with PC suite are not saved in m...

I have a bluetooth device to connect my phone (Nokia 6233) to PC. When I'm trying to send a message everything goes perfect (the message is sent) only one problem appear: the message is not saved in my phone.
Any ideas for this problem?
Why the messages sent with PC suite are not saved in my phone?

there may be differencies between phone models here (S60 devices or S40 devices, you have S40). Also if I recall right, it used to be so that some older versions of PC Suite did not save the PC sent sms's to phone.
However, with my N95 the messages are saved. So make sure you have the latest Pc Suite and then try again. If it fails, then it might be that message saving is not supported with S40 phones (Anyone having a S40 phone could verify this)

How do you export messages from Ovi Suite?

As the title says, how do you export messages from Ovi Suite?
I know how to export messages from Nokia PC Suite, but it doesn't seem to be possible in the new Nokia Ovi Suite.
Here is how I would do it in the Nokia PC Suite.
1. I click the Messages icon to open Nokia Communication Center.
2. I click on the Messages option on the left pane to view only messages.
3. In the main window I mark the messages I want to export.
4. Then I go to File menu and chose Export.
5. Choose destination folder and I'm all set to export my messages from my Nokia.
I can chose between the formats CSV and VMG (vMessage) for export. If more than one message is marked only the CSV format is available. But what you can do to export several messages in the VMG format is to mark them all in the main window and press CTRL+C or right click and chose Copy to copy them all to RAM memory. Then all you have to do is create an empty folder on the desktop and paste them in there by pressing CTRL+V or right clicking and chosing Paste.
That's all there is to it, using Nokia PC Suite. So how do you do this in Nokia Ovi Suite? You don't, right?
And this **bleep** Ovi Suite is supposed to replace PC Suite?
Thank God I won't be needing neither of them much longer. I am switching to Android and HTC. Good luck with Ovi, the Ovi Player, the Ovi Suite, the PC Suite, the Symbian, the S60, the Symbian^1 (S60 5th edition), the Symbian^3, the Symbian^4 and what not.

I believe OVI took a step in the right direction with this option. I also believe it was made available due to the fact that OVI Suite cannot take a huge number of messages altogether. This option was made available so that the messages could be backed up.
However, I'd like to suggest the following, if possible.
1. Make Nokia OVI Suite be able to handle a huge number of messages.
2. Have the option to export only selected messages.

N70 No Longer Works With PC Suite

Hiya
When I first got my N70, it worked pretty well with PC Suite buth at work and on my home PC.
I then upgraded to the latest version at the time.
All of a sudden it no longer works.
It sometimes recognises the phone but won't go into the messages and a few other bits.
I tried going back to the version that the phone came with which i know used to work.
I have tried later version again with no luck.
I now believe there is something on my phone which is stopping it work.
Any thoughts how i can clean my phone of all PC Suite/Sync software so i can start again ??
Thx
Paul

To add, I have actually done the cleaning tool that Nokia provide on there site with no luck which is why i believe it is an issue with the phone now

Multiple problems with PC Suite 6.80 and bluetooth

After several frustrating hours with a spiral of problems, I hope someone can see a way to get this (rubbish) PC Suite software working with my 6230i phone. - System is XP SP2 on a Dell Inspiron 8600 with bluetooth built in. - Syncing with Lotus Notes 6.5 - PC Suite version I'm attempting to get working is 6.80.22 (latest as of 9/6/2006) Started with PC Suite 4.88 installed (for a 6310i phone - was trying to find a way to move contacts). This software however, had stopped working for this phone.... Day 1 - Installed PC Suite 6.8.22 (as well as 4.88) and after while got this working (sort of) - at least I got the Sync function to work OK (not the contacts list however for example) Day 2 - updated an address on PC and on phone and tried to Sync - alwasy just sat there trying to connect - nothing has changed since yesterday. (selected two way updated in advanced properties) (several hours of wasted life on a sunny evening later) Read all the stuff on this board I could and decided that problem might be because the System Info showed that I had Widcomm and Microsoft bluetooth installed. So: 1. uninstalled 4.88 version 2. Didn't read instructions carefully enough so didn't uninstall 6.80.22 3. ran the Nokia PC Suite Cleaner 3.3 (selected Other - said Yes to deleting .exe, no to deleting .dll's - wouldn't have got this if 6.80.22 was uninstalled) 4. installed 6.80.22 - tried 3 times and kept getting an error about missing components in the .msi file. Downloaded new copy, reinstall - same message, try once more, suddenly install works without error! 5. Try to connect to phone - now get error saying "no available connection type" - i.e bluetooth not working. - check System Info - "no supported bluetooth Stack" is listed. (Had both Widcomm and MS before) - check I CAN connect to the phone using e.g. bluetooth icon on and using say the "Audio gateway" function - so bluetooth IS installed OK - just PC Suite doesn't recognise. 6. Uninstalled PC Suite 6.80.22 7. Ran Nokia PC Suite Cleaner 3.3, selecting "other" 8. Install PC Suite 6.80.22 9. Try to connect - exactly the same problem as before. 10. Try to activate MS bluetooth - using CP-> System-> hardware-> device manager-> bluetooth devices-> properties -> driver -> update driver as suggested elsewhere but find that after “bluetooth devices” I have to select “Dell TrueMobile Bluetooth Module” befpre driver-> update driver (which tells me that it is updated – though at least twice before I have found newer drivers after being given this message) 11. Go to bed after 6 wasted hours. (sorry if there is no formatting in this - there was when I typed it, but the preview shows none and I can't seem to add any spaces,lines etc) Thanks Andrew

Hi Manta
After a downward spiral where the BT stopped working at some point during an install/uninstall, so i tried to follow some of the guides to sort out removing Microsoft BT and only having Widcomm - however at almost every turn there were problems, error messages not anticipated etc. to the point where nothing worked....
Eventually thought to go back to a XP restore point which got the BT working again. (Microsoft and Widcomm drivers are both installed as before).
Then had to run PC suite 4.88 to remove (kept getting error messgaes by doing it from add/remove in ctrl panel) and then had to reinstall PC suite 6.80-22 and removing it also gave unanticipated error messages.
Did as you suggest and ran the cleaner through every stage (requiring 4 or so "installs" of this software and 3 reboots if you do as the software tells you..)
Reinstalled and it almost seems to work as well as it did when I first installed it - apart from now I can't sync my calendar - get a message about the server being down even though it clearly isn't as I can use my email and calender though the Notes client without a problem...
Dodgy PC suite software again??
(I've also noticed that if you have tried to sync and it fails and then you try again, it pretends to have done a sync but in fact as long as the fail message is on the phone screen this will lock it out from another sync function...though this is not clear on the PC)
If you or anyone else has any idea about the server connection failure message I'd appreciate hearing about it - and I'll go and have a look throught the boards to see if anyone else has seen this.

Apparent problem with Ovi Suite and Win 7 64 bit

Hi
Apologies if this has already been covered, but i have searched quite thoroughly and i haven't come across the specific problem i'm querying.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, with PC Suite 7.1.51.0, which runs just fine.
I intend to upgrade to the superb N8 when my contract comes to an end in 6 months, so i'm just doing my homework.
Apparently, the N8 will only run on Ovi Suite, NOT PC Suite.
Now if anyone disputes this and can convince me that the N8 works perfectly fine with PC Suite, then read no further, please just respond! (Bear in mind the OS i'm running though).
As nice as Ovi Suite is, i've managed just fine so far with PC Suite.
Otherwise, please let me explain the problem i am having:
I installed Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23. When i run it, it shows the main screen, and you can just make out a small window appearing in the middle saying "Nokia OVI".
It is then that the program stops responding, eventually displaying the error message which reads:
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\...
This appication has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the appication's support team for more information.
Judging by the similar stories of Ovi crashing (not finding one where the program fails to open, though), i think it is related to the fact that i'm running Win 7 64 bit; but i could be wrong.
I have tried installing it in compatibility mode, then (failing that), running it in compatibility mode, all to no avail.
Is this a problem that Nokia know about? If there is an intended fix within 6 months, then that'll be fine.
Otherwise, do any of you clever people know any work-arounds?
Any further questions you need to ask, please don't hesitate.
Many thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Pinpointing the problem may be very difficult as Ovi-Suite appears to be extremely unpredictable.and getting Ovi-suit tu run an sync properly seems to be largely a matter of luck.
I have just set-up three brand new identical HP workstations for our Geo-Information Department.
All were set up from the same disk image with only Win 7 Pro Office 2010, then directly Ovi-Suite as our Geo-Information guys insisted on Nokia handsets against our advice.
On one, machine Ovi-Suite crashed on launch and was unable to run at all.
on the second, Sync to OL 2010 failed consistently.
ont the third, everything ran fine with an N97 but an N8 was not recognized
So i got curious and run tests on one machine: I installed the same disk image a total of six times (clean win7-64, clean Office 2010 3 times, Office 2003 three times)
Office 2010
the first time i had the crash on launch, second time OL2010 sync fail, third time it ran ok.
Office 2003
First time notes sync failed, second and third time all was ok.
So the issue is definitely with Ovi-Suite and it appears to be pure luck whether is runs or not and if it runs at all, whether it syncs or not.
Syncing OL 2010 seems to be much trouble prone than OL2003, 64bit appears to be much less stable than 32, onb win 7 it seems to have slightly fewer issues than on XP.
We have NO issues with any other sync software (Palm, BB, Fruit, S-E, Microsoft, even Nokia PC-Suite).
None of the software is run with admin privileges (as we just do not give admin rights to users). If software requires admin rights to be installed, it is done by Data Center employees.
I'm afraid one's best bet to get Ovi-Suite running is trial and error, or if the handset supports it, use PC-Suite, which is what we do.
Ovi-suite users, according to our logs, generate over 70% of our smart phone related support calls, even though they are only 6% of our smart phone user base.
As a result, we currently have all Nokia handsets that do not work with PC-Suite and require Ovi-Suite blacklisted in our organization, meaning we won't support them in any way. Installation of any flavor of Ovi-Suite is prohibited on user PCs as long as it does not become more stable, reliable and less of a resource hog.
Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

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 :-)

How to use Nokia N8 with PC Suite 7.1.30.9 (appare...

The N8 is supposed to be used with OVI Suite, but if possible, I'd also like to be able to use it with PC Suite. The latest version of PC Suite won't allow this (not compatible) but an older version seems to accept the N8.
I saw in a discussion at Nokia Beta Labs that I can also install a late version of PC Suite. It's 32.2 megs in size.
(The newer versions of PC Suite install on my computer, but tell me to use OVI Suite for my N8.)
With the version I downloaded from hotshare installed, PC Suite recognized my N8. It also displayed a message saying PC Suite must be updated to support new features, and told me to click on "help" and then the update link. I did that, and the next message was "Do you want to install PC Suite on your mobile phone (N8-00)?" At this point I hesitated.
Has anyone done this, and will doing so allow PC Suite to work better with the N8? What are the new features that the update is trying to support? If they're not something I need, maybe I'll just stop where I am.
Any advice?
Moderator note: (Nokia only allows official download site such as Ovi store).
Solved!

Step #2 - Update to the latest version that still works with the N8, and also with Windows 7:

New E61 will NOT synchronize with PC Suite

Hello,
I have a new E61 (V2 firmware, SFR pack in France).
I use Windows XP 2 and have the latest version of PC Suite - 6 82 22 0
My first attempt at synchronizing via USB cable stopped very quickly. Message on the phone said operation failed. Log shows no transfers took place.
I have tried again and again and again. Relaunching PC Suite, disconnecting the phone and reconnecting, shutting off the phone and turning it back on. The Synchronize icon doe not react at all (all other icons react when you click on them).
What to do? I am at a loss, I have been at this for hours..
Thanks for the help.

In the setting in Calender edit if a new calender is created then this new calenders do not sync. plese give a soloution how to sync all the calender with the PC suite to create a backup in the computer.
even with ovi suite it does not sync all the different calendars. in theory, this is a great idea to have the calendars, and in actuality, was one of my first reasons for wanting the n900....but they do not sync.
in order to use the diferent colors, i actually have to duplicate some of my items so i can tell at a glance. but anything that i want synced to my outlook has to be in the standard "n900" calendar.
ovi suite was supposed to allow for syncing the multiple calendars, but it didnt...actually, it just made quite a mess of my calendar and contacts, and TAKES FOREVER TO SYNC!!!! so then i thought, maybe it is just syncing all the calendars to my ovi account,.....nope.
so if you do attempt to take the time to try the ovi suite, which you can get www.nokia.com/ovisuite i would make sure that you make a duplicate of your pst file before you try it, so if you need to, you can replace the pst file back and then go back to pc suite and "replace all data on device" to get it all back the way you had it.
if you do figure out how to make it sync all the calendars, please do share. i have spent HOURS on this alone and with nokia in beta's etc to get it to work, to no avail!

Can I sync two Nokia phones with Ovi Suite?

I have 2 different Nokia phones. I'd like to save my data to my PC, so I've just downloaded and installed Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23.
When I connected the second phone successfully, there was a green link that said something like "Get tips on syncing several phones with Ovi Suite". However when I clicked there, nothing happened.
When I click "Help->Nokia Ovi Suite Help" on the toolbar, nothing happens, no help tips.
The first phone synced all 82 photos and Contacts and messages to Ovi Suite.
I created a new album with that phone's name, and dragged those pictures from "All" to the new album, to try & keep them organized.
When I connected the second phone all of the Contacts synced (there were a lot) and now they are mixed in with the contacts from the first phone. However the photos would not sync. Then a few photos synced, making a total of 156 shown in All (which included the 82 photos from the first phone). When I would click "Sync" nothing visible happened.
But I did see the photos from the second phone on the PC. I did drag them from the PC into the album created with the name of the second phone.
Now when I look at the photo album with the first phone's name, it says "You have no photos or videos in this album, Drag photos and videos to this album." Yikes! But they are still on my PC.
This is very confusing. I agree with the others, Nokia PC Suite worked well, Ovi Suite seems very confused.
Is any of this uploaded to my online Ovi account?
Thanks for your advice.

ronni333 & boing,
Somewhere on the nokia ovi website it says you need to use seperate windows logins. Have one login for work and use that when you use ovi to sync your work phone. Other login to sync your personal phone. I lost the link to that webpage, but that is about all it said.
ronni333 - I also had problem with ovi help, the link appeared to be empty. I was using Google Chrome to surf the net. Problem solved by using Internet Explorer instead.
Hope this info helps you guys.
Cheers,
