Nokia Suite's bugging about Belle

Downgrading my E6-00 from Belle to Anna 25.7 was a struggle and it would be a nightmare if Nokia Suite for any reason started installing Belle again (e.g. if I miss pressing cancel and instead press install by mistake). Is there anyway I can prevent Nokia Suite from bugging me about upgrading to Belle. I've been in Belle land and will NEVER return. Belle is useless.

I found it was easy.
Just change the URLs to the update servers in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Suite\NOSSU2\usergroups.cfg. You may substitute any server name found with an URL to Google or what ever.
This disables updates (and generates an "connection failed" error when trying to update, but that's something one can live with). The number one goal is to keep Belle from coming anywhere near the phone ;-)

N8 Belle refresh: Nokia Suite Backup has problems ...

Since I installed the Belle refresh on my N8 the backup of Nokia Suite 3.5.34 has difficulties to safe Documents.
Only after restarting the N8, the backup works.I assume some documents are locked. This was never a problem before.
What are these documents and where are they located in the N8. I have not created any documents myself.

Having sold my Lumia I bought 808 PureView, owned previously N8. In my view, Symbian Belle is a great system, much better than Windows Phone and you do not need to sacrifice your privacy as much as with WP. The only one thing I wish Nokia could improve, is the speed of reading emails, web browsing and installation of apps from Ovi Store. I do not know why it still so slow as 808 PureView has double fast processor clock compared to N8?
And unfortunately 808 PureView still has a bug they introduced with Symbian Belle - bluetooth connection with some hands-free car devices do not work correctly, eg. with Bury CC9045 V04. You do not hear the first incoming call, need to drop it and wait for a second call.
Apart from above, it is a great phone!

Nokia Suite does NOT backup map favorites. Belle u...

I recently updated my E7-00 from Anna to Belle and lost all my map favorites in the process.
Although I did a full backup of my phone before the update I have since found out that Nokia Suite does not backup map favorites.
The Belle update did NOT make a copy of my map favorites, it wiped them out completely.
Nowhere have I seen that information before. When I updated to Anna I did not lose my map favorites.
There should be a warning about this before starting the Belle update.
The Belle Update FAQ states that after the update one of the things one can do immediately is access map favorites - NOT!
I have since learned, by searching online, that I am expected to sync my map favorites online with a Nokia server. I do not want to store my confidential information on someone else's server. Additionally, I don't pay for data service because it is so expensive here in Canada. So I would have to connect my phone via USB to my PC.
Nokia Suite backs up my contacts, photos,music, documents, etc. Why not my map favorites? In fact I store my music, photos, documents, and even contact information separate from my phone so I don't need Nokia Suite for that. But how do I copy my GPS coordinates off my phone for backup?
2nd level tech support suggested I recreate them all by browsing the maps on my phone and selecting the locations. That is so inaccurate, time consuming, and wrong. Supposedly they have passed my problem onto 3rd level tech support.
Does anyone know if one can import map coordinates into a symbian phone? I have many of the locations stored in another GPS application on a laptop. I can export them from there. That would be a partial solution.
Thanks.

I might suggest a Wi-Fi connection for access to the 'net, but let me assume that storing anything on a different server is not an option. So, what remains...
The least expensive, and simplest, method would be for you to buy any second Nokia phone that runs Nokia Maps. I use Nokia's Phone Switch technology to transfer all my maps data to a second phone. I'll have to do it again, so I can give you specific instructions on the "how", but the bottom line is it does work.
As to importing and exporting GPS Coordinates, I learned by accident that you can enter favorites by using GPS coordinates - and can also find the coordinates for something you have already entered.
A free program that I think is invaluable for using Maps on a Nokia, especially the N8, is "LeGPSData2". I used their older version for years, until the certificate expired and I was unable to upload it to my N8, but the new version is considerably better. You might find a way to do other things you mentioned with that program - and if not, you might suggest them (import/export) to the program author.
If you are as careful as you suggest you are, don't you have backups that you've already done on your PC? Have you tried to find your GPS data in those backups?
I can't speak for others, but regardless of what Nokia saiys would or woud not happen during the phone update, I don't "trust" any of it. I did my own backups two ways, as a complete bacakup on the PC, and as a phone backup on the memory card. I "think" but can't confirm, that the GPS data was backed up by both of them.
You're right - Nokia should fix the Belle installation script to also backup and re-install the maps data, if there is something wrong, but on my phone it did it all correctly following their instructions (in addition to my other backups, which I never needed).
If I get some free time, I'll see if I can get the import/export to work using Maps and LeGPSData2. It would be nice to do this to one location, multiple locations, or all locations. It would be nice to send this data to another phone directly, or to save it as a file.

Nokia suite not showing belle update....

Hello,
I am having a Nokia suite 3.3.86 installed on my Win 7. I connected the phone to PC and checked for update, it showed Belle available. I started downloading and in between installing it said something went wrong and cant connect your phone. So I reinstalled suite after installing.
Now it's not showing the belle update.
My phone Nokia N8-00 : 0599255.
Thanks.

Hello,
It is normal that the phone loses connection during the reboot phase.
If you wait for a while it will automatically reconnect to your PC.
If you lose connection during the backup, installation or restore phase, please do the following:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from your phone
2. Press your phone’s power button for about 10 seconds
3. Reconnect the USB cable
4. Wait for the installation to continue
Note: If this doesn’t solve your issues, try to connect your phone to another USB port on your laptop or to a USB port on the backside of your desktop PC. In some cases rebooting the computer also helps or using another PC to do the update.
Please reply the result!

Nokia Suite "Something wrong" Belle Update

E7 with official Anna
Latest Nokia Suite (as of 2/8/12)
Belle update fails after backup with an uninformative message:Error Code 12048

I am running out of ideas... Did you get any error code or just that "not OK" text? If you got some error code, please post it. It could help a lot.
I almost forgot. I had that same issue when upgrading my N8. In my case the problem solved automatically. When Belle was downloaded to my PC, next step was that backup. It said "not OK" for Messages. I didn't touch my phone and after couple of minutes the backup started again automatically and this time it went through ok.
So I recommend that you reboot your phone and close all running apps. Then put USB cable back on and start the upgrade. If backup fails, wait 2 -5 minutes to see if Nokia Suite tries to run it again.
EDIT:
I found something from /t5/Software-Updates/N8-Belle-Update-Failure-Error-while-backing-up-messages/td-p/1297059 about that issue.
There is something else you can try too. Try removing Message Centres from Message -> Settings. If that won't help, backup your phone and restore factory settings, upgrade and restore the backup.

Reinstalling Belle - The Nokia Suite update servic...

I have a C6-01 I used before getting a Lumia and I want to give it to someone else. Before doing so, I wanted to reinstall Nokia Belle to remove everything I had on the phone's memory and to give the phone away with a fresh installation of the OS.
The problem is that when I go to Software Update in Nokia Suite and click reinstall, Nokia Suite downloads 170MB out of the ~320MB that Nokia Belle has and then says "The Nokia Suite update service is currently unavailable." I've already tried this on two PCs, both running the latest version of Nokia Suite. I reinstalled the OS once before about a year ago and it worked just fine. Any ideas about why this might be happening and what I can do to solve it? I've looked around and found a lot of other people who have had this problem over the years but I haven't managed to find a way to get through it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Go to Solution.

I just tried using Nokia Software Recovery Tool. It recognizes my phone and immediately after I click Install and the download progress bar appears, it says something went wrong ("There was an error. Please try again. Error code: InternalError.")
Is there anything else I can try?
Edit: I also tried using Nokia Software Updater for Retail and the same thing happens. Then I tried using Nokia Care to download the firmware and it still doesn't work. It finds it, says it has 320MB, and when I click download, it just says it's been queued for download and that's it, nothing else happens.

The same issue emerged when I attempted to update N8-00 to Belle using windows pc with over 100GB free space. Installation was initiated from Nokia Suite 3.386 with backup location set to c:\temp. After the initial backup, which appeared to be successful, the install program announced that drive W: is running low on space, as others have reported, and offered retry or cancel options. The install program does not appear to recognized the defined backup folder location.

Nokia Suite v3.6.36.0 bug??

I've just installed the latest stable release of Nokia Suite on to two operating systems (Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 and Windows XP Professional SP3) and this 'bug' is present on both.
When I disconnect my phone(s), Nokia Suite opens even if it's minimised. It's only a minor annoyance but I would be grateful if someone could suggest a fix or workaround please. I've unchecked 'open when phone is connected' even though that is the reverse to what's happening. Am I missing anything? I'm sure the previous version didn't behave in this way.
Thanks.

Thanks. Didn't think of doing that myself
However, you have inspired me to submit my own feedback to request a feature change. Not sure if they'll implement it or not but I think it would be good if we could choose to hide update notifications if we do not want any specific updates. It's annoying looking at the alert icon telling me to update something that I don't want.

Nokia Suite Bugs with Windows 7 ?

Hi
1. Nokia Suite v.3.3.89 on Windows XP reinstalled Belle on my E7 without any issues.
2. Nokia Suite v.3.4.49 on Windows7 said:
"connection with your device lost"... "connection has been re-established, click next to continue"...
loop repeats.
Any ideas?
desperately waiting for an update from "Symbian Belle 111.030.0609" to "Nokia Belle" with all the fixes, and without any new tumours!

Sometimes it behaves wierdly (..that is as per many threads on this Forum).
You may try the latest Beta from here ..To download, you need to log-in using the same credentials that you use on this Forum ...
