Nokia Ovi Suite on Linux?

Hey, just a thought, but why do I have to buy a 100+ EUR operating system just to connect my phone to my computer?
I mean, common on, I bought a C5 Nokia and now I have to spend almost the same amount of money to buy some software to connect it to my PC??? This is outrageous. I mean, yeah I can connect and use the basic features of it (send sms, check address book, move files), but what about the incredible Ovi suite?
Just annoyed.. Anyone else would like to see Ovi suite compatible with more OS'es (like Linux, Mac OS X etc.)?

Being a Nokia supporter and born in Finland I have given Nokia a chance to improve its phones and software. These are the facts: My oldest Nokia phone has the best phone signal, sound quality and battery life. The newest has the worst of everything. Battery made in China and lasts a day max. In order to uppdate software, you have to install Ovi Suite on a PC with Windows. So I have to fire up an old dinosaur with XP in order to update my phone. It took me over 6 hours of trying over and over again. First it would say "no internet connection", when connected with Ethernet directly to a cable modem. It then would say USB connection lost about 12 times until I gave up and tried again the next day. After many hours of starting, restarting and trying, I had the software updated, but when connecting the phone to Nokia's Ovi website, it would say that my phone is not compatible. Before the update it was compatible. Extremely frustrating.
I use Ubuntu on my computers and refuse to go back to Windows. Anyone with half a brain would use a Linux based OS if they only knew how great it is. I just can't believe the geeks in Finland don't provide a version of the Ovi Suite for Linux. There is certainly room for improvement. If anybody has been able to configure Ovi Suite under Wine, let me know. I tried without success.

  • Nokia Ovi Suit for Linux

    I am using Fedora 14. I want to connect to internet using my Nokia N8 mobile. There is no nokia ovi suit for linux and hence I am unable to connect to internet. Can anyone please help?

    Hello
    Here, Ubuntu, USB cable, and Gnome Default Network Manager
    Just right clic on manager to modify connection, choose Wide Band Mobile connection et follow assistant....
    That's all, the connection is created, then left clic on manger to use it !
    Other way ? Use special apps on the N8 to convert it in a WiFi Hotspot like Joiku Spot

    PC synchronising software is offered free of charge by all mobile phone manufacturers, so it's unlikely that any will develop Linux software - the OS may be growing, but it is still only a minority system.
    There are independent solutions avbailable, here are just a couple of examples:

  • Nokia Ovi Suite has lost connection with your devi...

    5 months has passed and many hours on the phone to Nokia. The phone has been completely reset /reboot by Nokia time and time again and still the phone gets this message when trying to update software..."Nokia Ovi Suite has lost connection with your device"....We were optimistic that the software upgrade would solve the other problems we are having with all the Nokia phones at work. They are all E52's

    Having the same issue currently with an E72 software version is 054.005.266.02 and Ovi Suite 3.1.1.80
    Actually I had connection lost all the time with all previous versions of Ovi Suite too... it has never been reliable.
    Using original Nokia USB cable, connected securely. Tried different PCs, different USB ports, same issue.
    Just now I'm trying software update and it looses connection during the backup process all the time... very disappointing. Screenshot attached if anybody is interested.

    Uninstall Ovi and re-download from Nokia web. Reinstalled Ovi Suite but that didn't work.
    I then uninstalled all Ovi and all Nokia related software, cleaned Registry and reinstall Ovi Suite: Failed to fix.
    Then I installed Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1 which worked just fine with 5800 XM (RM-356 V. 51.0.006). I had no problems making backups or to synchronize.

    Then I installed Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1 which worked just fine with 5800 XM (RM-356 V. 51.0.006). I had no problems making backups or to synchronize with Nokia PC Suite.
    Made a complete backup on my phone.
    Installed Nokia Software Updater and I reinstall the latest FW 51.0.006 to my phone.
    Then I organized my content for a few minutes.
    Shut down Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater.
    Started up Nokia Ovi Suite.
    Connected my phone and clicked on PC-Suite on the options.
    It now works again????
    Something happened when I installed PC Suite that enabled me to use my Nokia 5800 with Ovi Suite again.

  • How to use single installation of Nokia Ovi Suite ...

    I want to help my adult son set up his (different model-) Nokia Smartphone.
    How to use the Nokia Ovi Suit already installed for a different user?

    Hey,
    If i hav understood ur issue correctly, u want to share the same nokia ovi suite(Contacts, Messages, Calendar and tasks etc) of ur entire family with single nokia ovi suite? If my understaning is wrong, please do correct/educate me.
    AFAIK, nokia ovi suite does not work the same way how pc suite works at least when it comes to PIM sync like Contacts, Messages, calendar and tasks etc.,
    In case of PC Suite, u can connect more than a device and u can sync/store messages/contacts/calendar etc separately and u can switch to the next device, there is no dedicated database to store any of ur data, if u r synching with pc suite.
    In case of Ovi Suite, it has got a database where it stores user's info in a database, so u cannot sync multiple phone's data with single nokia ovi suite.
    If this is what u xpct from our forum, read my signature and do the needful

    I am having problems trying to get the Maps to work in Nokia Ovi Suite.  When I click on the maps I get a mesage that tells you that the map application is still open in your phone and asks you to close it but, in fact, Ovi Maps is definitely NOT running; then there is a key on the screen asking to retry and when you do that the following message appears:
    "Something's gone wrong. There's a problem with Nokia Ovi Suite. Restart your computer. If the problem won't go away, uninstall Nokia Ovi Suite and download the latest version of the application from www.nokia.com/ovisuite." Been there, done that, I have the latest Ovi Suite software (3.1.1.85) and the latest phone's firmware and the map application is definitely closed but still I'm unable to connect to the map's server when my phone is connected.
    I also want Symbian Anna!!!!!

    Moderator's note: We provided a topic-related to the subject to the post so other users can easily identify and answer the concern.

    The USB mode in your Nokia might be called Modem, PC Suite or Nokia Suite, or even Nokia Ovi Suite. In your phone, all these four USB modes are the same.
    The PC Suite and the Nokia Suite are two different software titles which can be used in parallel. Furthermore, the Nokia Suite is the successor of (replaced) the Nokia Ovi Suite.
    Before you download and install all these software, I recommend to install the latest Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver first.
    If that did not help, please, plug-in your Nokia, select that Suite mode, and go to to Windows » Start » Contol Panel (» Hardware » Devices) » Device-Manager » USB » right-click on your Nokia » Update Driver Software. Did that help?

    A quick additional piece of information to the above is that the phone appears in the Device Manager in Portable Devices as Nokia N97 therefore I can explore the C: and Mass Memory in Windows Explorer but I cannot of course install any software apps that have to be installed using Nokia Ovi Suite!

  • Query regarding settings for NOKIA OVI suite

    Hi everybody. Well I downloaded the latest version of NOKIA OVI suite for my 5800 XM from NOKIA website and then used it to upload music vids from PC to fone. During this procedure, it asked for something about ffd codes??? which I allowed. Now my default music player was Windows Media Player, which is now not playing any media files. When I uninstalled OVI suite, the problem was solved. Is there any way that I can keep WMP as my default media player while using OVI suite to move media files from PC to fone.

    Hi,
    Can you check the following?
    Control Panel > Add or Remove programs > Set program access and Defaults > Select your media player as default on your PC.
