Multiple Contacts using Ovi Sync

After spending hours managing my contacts, I have synced them all to my OVI account. Now I find that I have duplicate and sometimes triplicate contact addresses on my Phone, Ovi Suite and Ovi account - Help, this is really getting ridiculous. What ever I do, the problem just seems to get worse, to the point that I dare not use any Nokia software any more?

There is no group send option like you are looking for.
To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?

  • Plz help to restore contacts from ovi sync to my N...

    Hello ,
    One day i was backup my phone contacts using ovi sync . Unfortunatly Today i format my phone due to hang. My all contacts lost but now i remember i backup on ovi sync. after that i logged to ovi.com site . i m happy to saw all contacts are safe on ovi site . Now big problem is that i m trying to restore to phone always shows this msg " Your device is partially configured. Please complete the configuration by synchronizing the device or remove it to add another " 
    Main thing is that my phone already configured with sync settings. Plz give any solution . If ovi.com add option in the site to direct download backup to PC then it will be resolve. 

    - Sign in to contactsui.ovi.com and open link to manage your device. Then select restore your device and confirm (if not already done).
    - On phone side open Menu / Applications / Ovi sync / Synchronise (or  Menu / Applications / Tools / Ovi sync / Synchronise)
    Did it start to sync now? If not remove device from Ovi.com. Then open phone Menu / Apps / Ovi Sync / Options / Unsubscribe Ovi sync and start over with Ovi Sync wizard (Menu / Applications / Ovi sync / Synchronise)
    Alternative option is to send sync settings via SMS to phone by adding new device on Ovi.com / Manage your device. Follow step by step instructions on web. After receiving sms on phone, open it with code given on web and save sync settings (open sms message / options / save). Then on phone open Menu / Applications / Ovi sync / Synchronise.

  • Help in restoring the contacts which ovi sync mess...

    I had meticulously organized all my contacts and synced them with OVI suite to my N8. Then when i trie to sync using OVI suite to OVI.com suite started crashing repeatedly. Then i tried to sync from my mobile and ended up messing up all my contacts with the old ones already on the server.
    Ok, now what i want is to delete all these messed up contacts and put contacts from either outlook or ovi suite (yes, luckily the contacts in outlook and ovi suite are intact since i synced only with my handset). Can anybody help?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have a similar problem with messed up contacts by OVI Sync. Duplicates to all of my contacts where created in my OVI Sync database as well as in my N95 after I was trying to synchronise my N95 with my OVI Sync online database (I don't really understand how that happened, however, the problem is happened there are no settings what to do in case when duplicates are found). Right now, the only correct and actual data (contacts, calendar, notes,...) are in my N8, my N95 and OVI Sync online database are messed up (duplicates). And because there are no synchronisation settings (such us where to take the information from when different information are found) neither in my N8 nor in the OVI Sync online server, I am afraid to proceed with any synchronisation using my N8. Thanks for your help and suggestions in advance.

  • Switched from Samsung Note 2 to iphone 6. Faced Difficulties while sending message. [1]Multiple Selection of receipients is not available. Eg. If I click plus, it shows me all the contacts but i cannot select multiple contacts using checkbox

    Phone : IPhone 6
    OS : 8.1
    Problem Statement : Multiple Selection of Recipients while drafting New Message in SMS.
    Expected Solution : Checkbox should have been provided to select multiple contacts using one screen

    Thanks for the reply.. I also tried that way.. I face couple of issues
    1) I could not find an option of saving a Draft Message
    2) After multiple recipients(I have selected 12 recipients) in "TO" section, if I type a word in "TO" such as "Pre", it shows me all the contacts containing "Pre"  but I cannot select the last contact incase there are more than 20 contacts coz I am unable to scroll down till the end.. If I do so.. I cannot select coz screen scrolls up automatically..
    Pls try ... If required I will insert video

  • Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme.  Why do they not sync with Icloud

    Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme.  Why do they not sync with Icloud

    MobileMe used SyncServices, part of the System, to sync contacts. iCloud uses a different protocol and evidently Quickbooks can't work with this.

  • Why do I get multiple contacts when I sync?

    Do others have this problem? I want to know how to prevent it from happening more, but also how to "clean-up" what is already there. Which device should I modify so when I sync with iCloud both my iPhone and iPad contacts will be updated without duplications.

    Are you syncing your iPhone and iPad contacts over the air with your iCloud account only - you aren't also syncing contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer via the iTunes sync process which is selected under the Info tab for the device sync preferences with iTunes?

  • Ovi Sync tool for Nokia 5800 - Cannot update exisi...

    Hi,
    I am using OVI Sync tool, to copy/sync my Phone contacts regularly on Outlook Address book.
    There i found the bug in the OVI Sync manager, that if i have changed mobile number of contact "A"in my phone, i do sync using OVI suite on my PC, to update my same Outlook contact "A", the sync tool does not have intelligence to check whether the contact "A" has chnged its Mobile number in the phone, and it is mismatching with the one present in Outlook... (It simply does the sync process..and says no updates foundin the phone) i have marked the sync preference such a way that, "Always copy Nokia phone contents to Outlook"
    Eg. Initially Outlook and Phone are in sync. Contact A - mobile numer - 111 (in outlook and in phone)
          I change mobile number  111 to 000 in phone.
          Now Outlook has 111                                   Phone has 000 for contact A
          I do sync using OVI Tool
          After sync complete, the Outlook contact should get updated to 000. Which is not happening
    Please help

  • How do I start Syncronising my contacts with Ovi u...

    I want to sync my contacts with ovi and i use 5800 XM.
    I have installed the Ovi suite on my pc but I do not see anything related to dealing with online ovi network as everything seems to be working with installed softwares like nokia photo etc..
    please tell me how to start using ovi sync service

    If I am not wrong, to enable OVI sync through internet, you have to add your device on OVI.com and get the setting that will be sent through SMS and sync from your device while connected to internet. I am not aware if OVI suite on PC can perform synching to OVI.com though. 
    The Photos in OVI suite enables synching to Share on OVI.com no doubt but not Calendar & Contacts. 
    Let me know if you got it work coz I was unable to find 5800 listed in the supported device for OVI sync. 
    was: 3310--> N80 v5.0719.0.2--> N82 v31.0.016; now: 5800xm v40

  • Ovi Sync on an E71x

    I've been able to use Ovi Sync on my E71x by choosing E75 in the device setup, and it works perfectly for the calendar, tasks, and notes.  The contacts, however, don't work at all.  The contacts section on Ovi shows no contacts, and the sync log says "Discarded contacts: 43".  Any ideas on why, or how to fix it?

  • Adding multiple contacts with Skype manager

    This support page: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10867/how-do-i-add-other-members-of-my-skype-manager-to-my-contac... indicates that there's an option on the left-hand side to select multiple contacts.  I'm not seeing this on the page described, I can only add contacts one by one.  Is this feature something I need to "turn on" somewhere in my settings?
    In addition, I've noticed in the past month or so, even by adding contacts one-by-one, only around the first 40 people receive the request to be added as a contact.  After that, no one receives invites.  This is very frustrating for adding all of our business's contacts at the same time.
    I've tried this in Mac 10.7.4 and 10.8.  I've also switched to a PC, but the same thing happens.  Does anyone have any insights?

    Just an update (2013 Nov 25). There is now an option to add multiple contact using csv file. Here is a simple direction: Create a csv file with 2 columns 1st column is the email address and the 2nd column is the name of the account. Then go to Members > Add members > create business accounts > then click on Browse..., choose the file you just created and it should be able to import the contacts.

  • Ovi Sync: Service activation failed. Try again l...

    I have not been able to use Ovi Sync on my E6. 
    Each time I try I simply get the following message: 
    Service activation failed.  Try again later. 
    Has anyone been able to use Ovi Sync?

    After trying out the guide by  drazhar_99  above, the Nokia Sync function became fully functional again on my N8 Nokia Belle Refresh.
    What I did on my phone:
    1.
    Phone Settings - Connectivity - Settings - Network destinations -  Access point (Add new access point) - choose 'Mobile Data' and renamed it 'Internet'.
    2.
    Then set the 'Internet' access point to Priority 1.      
    Thanks a lot drazhar_99 !

  • Would appreciate your help - my Contacts does not sync into Desktop, it freezes

    Can anyone help me?
    From my Zire31 I sync with a USB cable into Palm desktop.
    The Contacts used to sync allright, but now it does not at all. Other things [memos etc.] do sync, but when the process gets to contacts, it freezes on "syncronizing contacts" on both Desktop and Zire, and stays like that for hours untill I reset!
    I tried sevaral settings with the Hotsync manager but none help.
    Would be thankfull fro your advice.

    Thank you, HardbeatZ. I did what you suggested and the software found 6 possibly corrupted files, all of them in the calender, none in the contacts.
    Do you know how I should proceed?
