Nokia sync problems. E7.

I received the notification concerning the joining of Ovi sync with Nokia mail contacts so I signed up & tried synching my phone contacts with my Nokia email account, the problem is whenever I sync the contacts using the phone they don't update, all that happens is that the contacts are redownloaded on the phone & the original contacts on the phone are deleted (as they end up in the deleted contacts folder online) It seems you cannot change details nor add photos to contacts with the new Nokia sync/Nokia contacts as they are just returned to the original state when synched or, in the case of updated contacts, I get two entries, the original & the updated version or the entry is returned to the original version & isn't updated. I've had to forgo the ovi/nokia sync on the phone & use Nokia suite to backup my contacts. I prefered the old sync which worked fine.
Solved!

hi, I wanted to know if you have successfully fixed the problem. i think i am getting the same problem. yesterday i got p problem with my E7-00 and had to hard reset if. I lost all my data, i have send my contact from nokia suite to my phone and since it was an old back i had to delete some contacts from it from the phone. However my problem is that every time the "Nokia Sync" in restoring the deleted contacts. is there any way the set the actual phonebook on the phone to the back of the "Nokia Sync"
thanks
No I still have major problems syncing, the first sync is fine but further syncs just mess everything up; I lose any photo I've assigned to a contact I also find any changes I've made to a contact are not being updated on Nokia sync as I get the original back on the phone which makes it useless. It also doesn't handle symbols like '&' very well & I have to write 'and' instead otherwise anything before the & is missing.
I do have a theory though, as Nokia sync is now connected to Yahoo's address book (as Nokia mail is provided by Yahoo now) I suspect that that platform isn't designed to work the way Ovi sync did but to just be used to download the contact list to the phone & to make changes you have to visit Nokia mail, Yahoo's help refers to this being the case with a different phone manufacturer so I can easily see this being the problem with my E7 & other phones. I've contacted support again to try & get any update on this & even offered to show screenshots of the problem but had no reply. I have heard (I'm sure on this forum) that Nokia have dropped Nokia sync though.

Nokia 6230 Contacts Sync Problem with Outlook

I have a Nokia 6230 and used to sync my contacts with outlook using PCSYNC. Now I receive a message that sync is completed but only 1 or 2 contacts are copied to the outlook (always the same ones). I have already updated the PC Synch version many times, tried to change configurations on PC Sync and on the phone, created new folders on outlook and sync profiles, cleaned the configuration files on "documents and settings" folder, contacted Nokia phone suport in Brazil, but nothing worked.
I use Windows 2000 SP4 in English, connect through Infrared and have the 6.81.13.0 version of PC Sync (I have already tried many other versions). I'm using Phone memory. When I use PC Sync explorer those same few contacts that are synchronized are the only ones that I can see in the contacts folder.
I think the problem is in some configuration file in Windows environment or I have a problem with the phone set.
Please if anyone could help me I would apreciate. I have lost many hours trying to fix that problem.

Today I searched through the discussions and found many other users with the same problem (Himalaya2050, Marbru, tugrulislier). Almost everybody using Nokia6230 and using international character set, maybe the root cause for the sync problem.
I think Nokia should have a tested fix for that problem.
Was the phone update the solution for other users? Do you have any feedback? I haven't found in the discussions any user with that problem solved.
When I first contact Nokia support in Brazil they told me to do many time consuming procedures (reinstall and update PC sw many times) that didn't worked and didn't make sense for me, as the sync was working with previous version. So I don't want to try another non tested solution, because I will have to go to a tech assistance, wait and probably loose all the information stored on the phone.
I think I will have to exchange my phone ...

Nokia 820 problems

Just bought two Nokia 820s, one for my wife and one for myself. Awesome phones except for a couple of issues. First, the GPS and Nokia Here Maps. When I am at home the maps show me in the right spot but reports (showing the address) that I am 3 houses down the street. When I am at work, the phone shows my position correctly but reports that I am in the Elementary School across the street. Hmmmm. gMaps does not have this problem and seems to have more detailed maps about my city and roadways. So it is a Nokia software problem? I like the Here functionality better, but the accuracy and detail are missing compared to other map services so I have to keep more than one app on my phone, using precious space. Second, I would really like to be able to sync my phone calendar with my google calendar and tasks. Right now I have to use third party apps so I have more than one calendar app (I prefer to use the one on my phone with live tiles!!!!) and more than one task app, etc... and more than one travel app. Also it would be nice to separate the people I want in my phone book from the people I have on social accounts (I will NEVER be calling most of the people on my facebook account, but there are people I call on a regular basis and I hate scrolling through or having to search a gajillion people to find who or what business I am looking for) and still have them listed, just seperately.
Thanks for listening and I sincerely hope these issues can be addressed.

Were you running gMaps on the same phone? If so then that would suggest the innacuracy in probably in the mapping data. This being the case, you should report the error to the map data provider using the link below.

With regards to synching with google, this service was stopped by google .

PC Sync Problem

I have a Nokia E61 and i used to Sync it by Bluletooth to my HP Notebook. I just purchased a Lenovo Notebook and downloaded the latest PC Suite. I installed it and tried to connect my E61 as usual, but it could never recognize it. My Bluetooth on Lenovo identified the phone no problem, but not the PC Suite. I have disabled the Anti Virus just in case. I even tried using the cable to connect, but without success.
Is there a sync problem with Nokia PC Suite and Lenovo? pls advise if others have had similar problems and what is the solution. THanks, Omar

I seem to have resolved this.
I created a back fodler in Outlook of my Calendar folder.
I deleted records from my Outlook Calendar folder
I then copied back in future appointments back into the Calendar folder from the backup,
I was then able to synchronise appointments with PCSync.
Not sure if there was some corruption with my Outlook calendar folder?

Sync Problems with cell 5220 Xpress Music and abno...

Hello Ovi Team,
I have recently noticed that there is a bug to be fixed on OVI tool/Application which you have brought out. i m facing few problems which i would like to mention here and also would like to know the solution for the same asap.
Whenever i sync my cell (5220 Xpress Music) contacts with ovi suite, i have alwys noticed that the cell phone behaves abnormally and there are few blank messages created within the cell phone after each sync is done, i really dont know how this is been happening. but each time i sync with OVI suite i have this blank msgs created in my INBOX / Sent Messages / anywhere in Messages directory. i have to restore the factory settings everytime i sync with Ovi to get rid of this blank messages or abnoramal behaviour problem of my cell. this problem had not been there while i was using Nokia PC Suite.

And also few times i have noticed that my cell behaves abnoramlly after sync either gets hanged up or restarts automatically something or the other goes wrong. 1st i thought might be there is some virus or trojan on my system doing this with my cell. but checked it completely with my System and the cell phone. i dint find any of the suspicious things running anywhere.
And i request Ovi team to look upon this bug issue and resolve this asap. and i also request you to reply me with a suitable resolution for this issue. if you need any more info or anything related to this issue. post me back would be happy to help you.

Nokia sync .. belle refresh

Hi Nokia
I have problem with nokia sync in my nokia n8 belle refresh...
it just showing activation failed, try again later..
i installed belle refresh 3 days ago and since this update i got that error
any solution??
thx,

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!

Sync problem with OVI / Outlook of the notes with ...

Hello,
I'm desperate and close to open the gaz :-). I used to sync my Outlook notes with all my former phones with PC-suite. Since I have a new N8, I'm forced to use OVI instead of PC-Suite as it doesn' support this model phone. Everything seems to be possible in the set up but the sync doesn't work and always return an error code : 83860026. It even ask to reinstall Outlook which took sometime but never changed anything. As it might be due to other unknown variables, I tried the same Outlook database with other PC with XP or W7, office 2003, 2007 and even 2010 and the sync always fail with the same miserable error code. I'm fairly suprised to see this problem still there since I gave up, years ago, to use OVI because of this. My N97 and 6303 do the same. Can someone bring some good help to resolve this annoying trouble please?
Thanks in advance, Fabrice

Dear Satari,
thanks a lot for the advice but in the meantime I found another post stating that version 7.1.40.6 PC-Suite works great with the N8. I kept it in my archives and I can state that it WORKED GREAT in less than 5mn!
So far your suggestions might resolve the OVI sync problem but I have no more courage to follow it. I was yet using the latest version of OVI and W7 and Office2010.
However, if it would work, I would recommand the OVI software team to find out why one of their software work very fine while the other seem to cause trouble to the entire world. I could not find a single complain about PC-Suite while the support discussion ifs full of OVI reported troubles for the last 2,5 years. What a shame!
Furthermore, it is unacceptable that NOKIA force their client to use OVI with any phone while they know this software is so unstable. I would add that the "gift" is even worst when it comes to the most expensive product of the range. As the general manager of a software company, I have learnt that it is never good to insist with a product when the development team is unable to cope with bugs and troubles. Whatever the cause could be, it is better to restart from scratch and get rid of EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY involved in the mess! Please Mr Nokia new president, act positively and do your homeworks in the interest of your clients and sharholders. Additionnally, if I had not spoken English I would still be on the road side! Thanks in advance to care of us MORE.

E66 with Video/audio sync problem

Is there someone where the E66 does NOT have the audio/video sync problem?
Test:
Record your finger tapping on the table, then check if Video and Audio are in sync
Mine has 1 sec or more afer a few seconds of recording

I called Nokia care,
They never heard of the problem!
They did not even know there was a firmware upgrade last feb.
Furthermore on the site, still frimware from nov last year is advertised as latest!
I will go to a service point, or return the phone to the store.

X6 and ovi suite sync problem - usb connection

i recently bought an x6 and set up ovi suite etc which all worked fine! yesterday i updated maps and the x6 operating system using ovi which again seemed to work fine. Now however when i connect phone to my pc the pc comes up problem with hardware installation and ovi suite only occassionally recognises phone - even when it does it will not sync music! help please - wish i hadn't updated anything as it all worked fine before !!!!

I have a similarly frustrating sync problem with my X6. It's my second phone too.
I've had Ovi Suite installed on my computer for about 9 months. I had difficulty getting it to sync with my X6 phone at first but after some troubleshooting I got it working reasonably well.
However over the last few months it doesn't initiate the syncing process after I connect my device. I can open Ovi Suite and click the sync buttons but it doesn't do anything.It doesn't freeze or crash either which is strange considering it is not processing the request.
I've tried everything including reinstalling the software and resetting my phone. This worked once and since went back to it's old tricks.
The only thing that works is removing the X6 device in OVI suite, rebooting the PC and adding the device again. This is real pain in the backside as you can imagine doing this each time I want to sync it.
In contrast the previous version - PC Suite - worked well with my old Nokia phone.
Nokia support have provided some guidance after pushing for a reply but you dont get expert or timely help from them.
Come on, we cant be just a few people having these issues? I reckon lots of x6 owners aren't getting full value from these devices.
It's at the stage where I'd not recommend a Nokia x6 or other Nokia phone to anyone wanting the PC connectivity which is one of the major benefits of a phone these days.
Go on Nokia give us some love!

'Source play' and 'audio-video sync' problems with PE8 on fast WIN7 64 bit computer

I am transferring Hi8 videos, about 2 hours long, to my WIN7 64 bit computer with PE8. [Dell Mobile Precision M4400 Computer Workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 500GB/4GB); NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB] I seem to have several problems:
First, after importing the file (.avi), I get a message about ‘dropped frames.’
Secondly, when I try to play the video in the source monitor, the audio plays but the video doesn’t; it only shows the first frame [this is after waiting until the video is ?recognized? ] I can use the shift-arrow key and see that the video is there.
Thirdly, I can play the .avi file in other players, e.g., avidemux or PE pro CS5 on another computer. There, I see that the audio and video are not in sync; the audio can be up to 300 ms ahead of the video (as determined using avidemux).
Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

"I think you're telling me you're using a backwards compatible Digital8 camcorder to capture your video as DV-AVIs. Is that right?" YES
"Are you using Premiere Elements to do this capturing?" YES, AS ABOVE PE8
"Go to the File menu and select Properties. It should show a standard DV codec being used for your video and audio."
WMP v12 is dumb. Under properties, media, it says 'video.' However, avidemux gave me the information state above: video -- Codec 4CC: dvsd, frame rate: 29.971 fps; audio -- codec: PCM, channels: Stereo, frequency: 48 kHz.
So, back to the Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems.

Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems. iTunes is thinking my old iphone 4 is the same phone as my iphone 5C. When I plugged in my iphone 5C it auto synced my 5C to iTunes and it wiped my 5C and restored it to the same content as is on my iPhone 4. This is a big problem since my 5 year old has been using the iPhone 4. It's all Mickey Mouse and Backyardigans. (Total photo/app/contacts loss)
I was able to update the 5C and restore from a 3 month old backup that is actually the content from the 5C but now when I plug in my 5C it wants to "setup as new phone" or "restore from backup" What's going on? I'm afraid to choose either option.
How can I get iTunes to see these devices as 2 and not one?
Can I use my Apple ID on both phones still or is this the problem?

They were both displaying the same name in iTunes. I changed the name of the iPhone 4 before the 5C was plugged in but it still went ahead with syncing it to the 4's data.

Outlook 2003 + iPhone calendar sync problem solved

Here is how I solved my sync problem. Seems a lot of people have the same problem here with Outlook sync suddenly not working after it worked fine for a long time.
I've had Outlook 2003 calendar sync with my iPhone for a few month without any problem, but a few days ago the sync suddenly stopped without any error message. iTunes Diagnostic found no problem and I followed all the steps that Apple outlines to fix the problem but nothing worked (TS2776).
As Apple asked to, I created a new user account on my Windows machine and setup a few test calendar entries to sync with my iPhone. That all worked fine.
So I did what Apple doesn't tell you, and I copied my original Outlook Data file (.PST) over to my new user account and tried to sync that one. Now this didn't work. So I knew the problem lies somewhere in my PST file.
I have then tried to create a new one from scratch in my original Windows account, and copy all the data over. Again, it didn't work. So I emptied the file again, and copied all my calendar entries over to the new PST file in batches (first 10, then another 10, etc).
What I found at the end is that one single calendar entry I created a few days ago caused my sync to stop working. Once I removed this entry, everything worked fine again. Don't ask me what was wrong with it (I made a backup just in case Apple wants to see it), but now everything works again.
If you want to save some time to find which one it is, you may start deleting entries that you created just recently before it stopped working.
Hope that helps.

Hi im having the same problem. I use outlook 2003 on windows xp and until recently my sync (using usb) was working fine. Now it would seem that calendar items are no longer syncing. can you give any further details of the calendar entry which was causing your problem? im wondering if it was added on a certain date perhaps.
I am running the inbox repair tool to see if my pst file has any problems but would appreciate any other help in the mean time.
Cheers

How can I sync my IPOD Nano 4 to iTunes on my PC? I've already tried the sync button on iTunes and it says it is synced. I've also tried the 5 steps recommended by Apple to fix sync problems with no luck.

How is your iPod configured to sync content from your iTunes library? Any error messages during the sync process?
You may want to reset warnings on the device by right->clicking on it under Devices and choosing Reset Warnings. Then resync the iPod to see if any alerts appear.
Is this the same computer you normally sync the Nano with?
