Nokia N8 & ovi-sync

Hi.
I have set ovi-sync to synchronize once at day at 09:00 but why it keep synchronizing more often? Even if last synchronization status was succeed.

I have the same problem. It worked twice with Anna and now it is not anymore. Why? Even the recommended restore sync does not provide any help.
Nokia Support people: This problem has been there for such a long time now (with the promise that it would be solved in Anna). Why is it not solved? This is one of the key functions for many users having an up to date calender is key for business. Why are you keeping all of us in the dark? I don't understand. You want us to go to Apple or Andriod as well? Waiting for the W7 phone just takes too long for such a basic issue. Especially because it worked so well on all previous systems, N93, N96, N97. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW

  • 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

    Hi ussher,
    Could you please give complete information about your phone(Type *#0000# on your phone), about your PC OS details, 32/64 bit, Vista/XP, PIM data Outlook 2003/7 ???? Complete details could help our experts to narrow down your issue

  • Does Nokia N9 work with Ovi Sync?

    I had an old Nokia N8 and I sync all contacts and calander entries with Ovi sync (http://contactsui.ovi.com/).  Does Nokia N9 work with Ovi Sync?  I cannot find where it is in N9.  Thanks for help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I just tried it by doing in that way:
    - Go to "Accounts"
    - Choose your Nokia account.
    - Enable "Schedule" and configure it according your personal need (Peak time intervall, Peak time, Peak days, Off-peak time intervall)
    - For synching with Ovi Sync click on the Sync button in case you want to sync it manually.
    I just tried it and can see an actual timestamp in Ovi Sync for my N9:
    (Unfortunately in German language )
    Nokia N9: +
    Synchronisationsstatus: Aktiv
    Ihre letzte Synch.: 11/24/2011 23:59
    Hope this helps!

  • Nokia 6303 /ovi suite contacts in outlook sync pro...

    Hi
    I am using ms outlook on windows xp and ovi suite.  The problem is that not all the information from outllok is passed to the phone.  Some addresses are left out and sometimes other info such as phone numbers or email address don't sync.  Some contacts are fine and there doesn't seem to be any consistancy to the problem.  Any ideas anyone.
    Regards

    I have N97 Mini and a lot of problems.Actually I wouldn't called it problems because there is no solution ever post by NOKIA support.This is really a nightmare that NOKIA COMPANY sold to the buyers along with phones we bought .I have 10 years of experience with NOKIA devices all of the models including the first Symbian 6600.Now the whole month I spent every day trying to handle this **bleep** od device and the biggest **bleep** OVI suite searching on hundreds of sites and forums but everywhere the same only bad no solution and NOKIA just giving new versions that means nothing for solving problems.
    So XP Pro OS when i try to sync contacts  the most of the contacts I do but about 33 contacts reports Sync conflict and i have notes that those contacts has a photo of people next to number.
    Also well known problem is with music,videos and photos. I have music stored in mass storage and what ever i tried i cannot reproduce the music from the device.I made playlists,library,...
    The next thing I'll do, I will turn on my camera and say what I think of new NOKIA and OVI suite than I will throw N97 Mini hard on the floor and madly wade over device while it becomes a pile of  trash what is the real description of new generation touch screen and new OVI suite any version!

  • Ovi sync incompatible with N96

    So, I've just spent the past hour or two trying to make head or tail of this.
    I was finally able to create a new Ovi account today so I could start from scratch.
    Step 1: Create Ovi account, confirm mobile number and have sync settings sent to you by SMS
    Step 2: Sync calendar, contacts and notes with the setting "to server only". Your calendar entries, contacts and notes will be sent to the server.
    Step 3: Log in from the web. Your contacts and notes are there but not the calendar events.
    Step 4: Delete a note. Reset the sync profile on your N96 to "both ways" so that the removal of the note is synced to your phone.
    Step 5: Re-do a sync. Instead of removing the note from the phone it is reinstated online...
    Conclusion: Either Ovi sync and the N96 are not compatible, or incorrect settings are being delivered by SMS.

    Not necessarily if your username is available in both Nokia account & Share on Ovi you can obviously create two identical username/password pairs. But you need to register separately to both of them.
    I actually red from another forum (I think it was Symbian freak or guru)that Nokia has plans to merge the user databases. Let's hope for the best..

  • How To Restore From A Specific Time From Ovi Sync?

    Reall need help here, I lost all my contacts & worst part of it - OVI Syncs my EMPTY contact book & when restored, well you know what happens...AAARRRGGHHH!!! Is there a way I can restore back my contacts at a specific time? Ovi sync my empty contact book at 1555. I need to restore to a previous time say around noon 1200+ (because my settings is set to daily sync at 12 noon) HEEELP NOKIA!! Using N8 v22, Location - Malaysia.

    Can the new 27 inch iMac restore EVERYTHING to how it was from the original 27 inch imac? Would all my photos from iPhoto be restored? My music/movies from itunes?
    Yes.
    An application called Setup Assistant will appear on the new iMac at startup to ask if you if want to setup the iMac from a Time Machine backup. The "new" iMac will look just like the "old" iMac when  you do this.

  • App Shortcut Widget - Ovi Sync available, but not ...

    I've set up a SyncML profile for Google Contacts (so I don't have to waste my MfE) account using the Sync app on my N8.
    I want to add an application shortcut of "Sync" (not Ovi Sync) to the shortcut bar.
    When I browse the list of applications, it is nowhere in the list.
    I would be happy with a "main menu" item if that is all we have available. I set one shortcut to "Tools" which shows "Ovi Sync" as a menu item, but not plain old "Sync".
    When I browse the available apps using the Grid Application (from Ovi Store), I can see an Ovi Sync, and a Sync icon. 
    So why can't I select plain old Sync from the apps menu?
    Am I missing something really basic here?

    Hi Spamthroat,
    When you see Shazam in the updates available, it means that you can download this application and install it in your mobile. For this, it is not mandatory to have it installed already.
    If you want to install this application, go ahead and install it by updating. If that fails you can also try installing the same by downloading the same from OVi store too.
    If you dont need to install the application, you can ignore that update

  • Ovi Sync Settings for US N82

    Hi,
    I'm in the US and tried setting up Ovi Sync on my N82 last night, but I have not received the SMS with the Sync settings. I've double checked, and the phone number I've provided is correct.
    Does anyone have the settings so that I can input them manually?
    Thanks

    Hi All,
    I am from Malaysia and I own two handphones (one N80 and another N82) with each registered with Malaysia's Maxis and Singapore's Singtel mobile service provider.
    When adding my device to OVI SYNC, I was able to receive the setting SMS to my Singtel N82 phone. However, the Maxis N80 phone is not getting any SMS settings.
    I have tried to access OVI.COM through S60 browser but with no luck, it will only direct me to the WAP site (connected through Wi-fi).
    Feedback from Nokia Ovi Support is that certain mobile service provider, particularly for Malaysia, Maxis is having problem getting the setting SMS from an external foreign service provider. Ovi Support has also told me that their SMS will be sent through a three digit short code (which is quite unusual, normally it is 5 digits), "354" for Malaysian numbers. They have also informed me that the other Malaysian mobile users are not having problem getting the message. OVI Support also suggest that I contact Maxis regarding the issue.
    After numerous calls to explain my problem and introducing the Maxis customers service personal to WHAT IS OVI.COM and OVI SYNC, they agreed to look into it. They have contacted Ask Nokia Malaysia. But guess what? Ask Nokia ask me to downloan OVI PC SUITE to sync my contacts with OVI. LOL!!
    Totally full of **bleep** and a waste of my time dealing with Maxis and Ask Nokia. They must have not heard of OVI.COM and simply dismissed my problem as not installing OVI PC Suite!
    I have written a mail to Ask Nokia Malaysia to clarify my problem and is still awaiting reply. keeping my fingers crossed!
    was: 3310--> N80 v5.0719.0.2--> N82 v31.0.016; now: 5800xm v40

  • Ovi Sync app

    I updated the firmware of an X6 and it appear a new icon, an Ovi Sync app, that lets you schedule syncs and /or sync every time there is a change in the phone or in the ovi.com database. It is incredible, what Ovi Sync should always be, but my main phone is not the X6 is an N97 and I want that function, is there any place where I can download it, I use Ovi.com as my PIM manager so I really need to get it sync constantly and I don't like to do it the Palm Pilot way (clicking the hot sync) Thanks!

    go to ovi.com website, add new device. Then you get a message from that you can install it.

  • OVI Sync now available for N85 and N79!

    Atlast, after months of wait, OVI sync now supports N85 and N79 officially!
    Just installed the settings and synced with the servers.
    Although, to switch to OVI sync profile in the sync app on your phone, you might have to change the active sync profile from the Sync Menu.

    Unfortunately I can confirm what others are reporting about the loss of data when attempting to OVI sync the N85 (and other models, it would seem) .
    What happened to me on my N85 was that every attempt to OVI sync eventually fails with a no response from server (according to the phone log). Browsing the phonebook in the phone I see that some seemingly random picked entries have had all numbers removed.
    Strangely, all the entries and numbers have actually been succesfully copied into my OVI account (despite the sync errors). Calendar entried never made it, though.
    So now I'm rather stuck: my OVI backup is now my only good phonebook copy, but I'm too scared of the broken OVI sync feature to try to restore it back to my phone.
    Sorry, Nokia - I think you went public with this OVI sync thing a wee bit too early. It will be an awesome feature when it's ready, though!

    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 !
