Ovi? nokia? I'm confused

On my phone it says clearly nokia. It's a nokia phone made by nokia. This web page has a Nokia (connecting people) on the top left side. What on earth is Oki? other than the finnish word for portal. Oki maps Oki shop. Clear, its a portal from nokia but why call it ovi (=portal) and not, well, nokia.
Everytime a page by Nokia comes up I'm confused if I should enter my nokia account details or my ovi account details, logon with my nokia username or my ovi username.
Could someone of the marketing department clear this up a bit for a simple technical guy?
Thanks!

I am just a user, not "someone of the marketing department" as you say.
Ovi "is the brand for Nokia's Internet services" according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovi_(Nokia)

Message from OVI Nokia App everyday at 130am How d...

I am getting a message from OVI Nokia App everyday at 130am How do I turn it off? It's driving me crazy. It seems to be an internally generated message as I cannot respond to stop it or anything. It says "Cool app on Nokia's Ovi Store" and has a different app everyday. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
Some content items in Ovi Store have been sending out unwanted sms messages. So far seems like they are all from the publisher ‘CareMe’. The applications have a function that simulates a SMS being sent to the consumer. Many of these applications are actually “hidden” from the applications menu. Therefore to remove the “sms” and the application, please delete the application from the “installed applications” menu.
The SMS “feature” is now removed from updated versions of CareMe applications available at Ovi Store so if you still want to use those applications, please re-download the affected application(s) from Ovi Store.
If you notice some other than CareMe application sending SMS, please let us know preferably via Report abuse feature available at Ovi Store.

Sync from OVI Nokia Suite 3.8.48

My Nokia phone broke with all contacts on it, non on the SIM.
I have it dayly syncroniezed (bluetooth) with OVI but my last backup .nbu is from January this year.
Is there any way to get the contacts stored in the OVI suite back on my new phone?
Thank you very much
Matthias

My phone, a simple C2-1 is synced only with the OVI suite. All I care about are the contacts, about 430 and 40-50 added in the last half year.
Thanks for helping

Ovi chat (contact Ovi) nokia C6

Hi I have a problem ovi chat (in contacts) from my nokia C6-00.
just get the first message that is written. if you send multiple messages without responding does not show more. tone sounds only message, but does not display the message.
the phone is updated daily

I am also stuck in the same situation. I keep looking for how to add my yahoo friends and I cannot find instructions. Do I just send an invite from the "add friends" option? That seem a little silly for all my friends to have to do this.

Nokia N8-00 upgrade to Nokia Belle gives confusing...

During the upgrade process I receive a warning message telling me:
"Don't use the mobile N8-00, shut ift off, or remove the cable or the unit will stop working".
So, therefore I tried to shut it off. Immidiately I receive an errormessage telling me that the upgrade process stopped and I have to replace the cable.
Two times during the upgrade process I received this confusing message and two times I had to replace the cable so the upgrade process could continue.
I attach two screenprints - language is in Danish

Ovi/Nokia Maps being updated?

Hello,
I have submitted a few 'wrong location' reports via my phone and after months - nothing has changed.
My N8 says they were submitted.....
Does someone look after the maps or have they been abandoned?

VeePee: Are they phasing the mapping out?
I don't think so. Roads that are considered important are pretty well updated when needed.
But I have to say, that Navteq's responsibility to error reports has been lousy and seems to get worse! Three or four years ago I got reactions to my reports within a year. Now all seem to go to a black hole. Sometimes the error in map data has been corrected, but my error report has not been 'closed'. This is awkward but understandable: Perhaps many people reported the same error or Navteq noticed it itself.
Current Navteq responsibility actively dicourages users from helping them.

Outlook/OVI/Nokia E63 Task remind time problem

I'm having a problem with syncing outlook to my phone where the times for task reminders are changing?? In outlook I have a reminder for 7pm but when its synced the time says 5am. Both Windows and the E63 are set to the correct timezone of +10.
What have I done wrong here? I cannot trust the device to have tasks until I set this up right (didnt like being woken at 5am )

Can I sync two Nokia phones with Ovi Suite?

I have 2 different Nokia phones. I'd like to save my data to my PC, so I've just downloaded and installed Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23.
When I connected the second phone successfully, there was a green link that said something like "Get tips on syncing several phones with Ovi Suite". However when I clicked there, nothing happened.
When I click "Help->Nokia Ovi Suite Help" on the toolbar, nothing happens, no help tips.
The first phone synced all 82 photos and Contacts and messages to Ovi Suite.
I created a new album with that phone's name, and dragged those pictures from "All" to the new album, to try & keep them organized.
When I connected the second phone all of the Contacts synced (there were a lot) and now they are mixed in with the contacts from the first phone. However the photos would not sync. Then a few photos synced, making a total of 156 shown in All (which included the 82 photos from the first phone). When I would click "Sync" nothing visible happened.
But I did see the photos from the second phone on the PC. I did drag them from the PC into the album created with the name of the second phone.
Now when I look at the photo album with the first phone's name, it says "You have no photos or videos in this album, Drag photos and videos to this album." Yikes! But they are still on my PC.
This is very confusing. I agree with the others, Nokia PC Suite worked well, Ovi Suite seems very confused.
Is any of this uploaded to my online Ovi account?
Thanks for your advice.

ronni333 & boing,
Somewhere on the nokia ovi website it says you need to use seperate windows logins. Have one login for work and use that when you use ovi to sync your work phone. Other login to sync your personal phone. I lost the link to that webpage, but that is about all it said.
ronni333 - I also had problem with ovi help, the link appeared to be empty. I was using Google Chrome to surf the net. Problem solved by using Internet Explorer instead.
Hope this info helps you guys.

Nokia confuses people...

Oh, I just learnt, Nokia Messaging is not necessarily Nokia Messaging...
I have installed the client from http://email.nokia.com which is called "Nokia Messaging", but actually just handled e-mail. And there is a second service, named http://messaging.nokia.com which is the "real" Nokia Messaging, but is in beta phase and actually seems not to be available for download...
I find it a bit confusing...

For someone who is new to Nokia it is confusing. And as if it wouldn't be enough, Nokia uses a different domain for every service... "email.nokia.com" "messaging.nokia.com", maps is now called "Ovi maps". Or has it a new name in the meantime? Why doesn't Nokia use *one* domain for everything: nokia.com/messaging nokia.com/maps nokia.com/betalabs and so on.
Further, using different domain names has the disadvantage that the web browser must separately store login names for each domain. Using one single domain would allow single sign on more easily. This is one of the points why Apple is so much more efficient: one domain for everything, one web site for everything. What does Nokia? A new website for each little project, no single sign on (ok I admit, this slowly changes now. Finally).

Neither Nokia Photos or OVI is syncing

Hi,
I cannot sync from my N82. If I connect to Photos, it recognises my phone. I ask for a sync and it (almost) immediately flashes up "Synchronisation Cancelled". I have tried rebuilding the timeline and downloading the latest versions but neither has worked.
I also cannot get Ovi to sync. When I try to sync, no files are copied from the phone and the following Windows error appeared:

I have a problem with my N85 sycning photos to to my PC with Ovi/Nokia Photos. It was all working fine until I needed to get my facia replaced. In the process the care center did a factory reset and I lost all contacts / sms etc in my phone. At this time I updated the firmware to 20.175. Once I had restored all contacts etc from outlook I wanted to sync the new photos I had taken in the mean time to my PC via ovi suite. However, ovi could not see the new photos. On looking in the photo gallery on my N85 i could see that the old photos were no longer classified as captured, but simply appeared in the all images category. What I don't get is that Ovi will only try to sync the old photos and not the ones that have the status as captured.
Anybody got any ideas?

Nokia e7 nokia ovi suite usb help

Hi there, need someones expert help or point me in the right direction.

HELP why cant i update my phone via usb through the nokia ovi suite+ nokia suite........help me please.
nokia e7-00 is my first ever nokia phone

I had this problem too with Ovi suite & the new Nokia suite, reinstalled several times with no luck, failed to realise that I had to also uninstally other Nokia software too like Nokia connectivity cable driver.
You could try uninstalling these in this order & then reinstalling Ovi/Nokia suite to see if that fixes your problem:
Nokia connectivity cable driver, PC connectivity solution, Windows driver package - Nokia pccsmcfd, Ovi/Nokia suite.

PC Suite & Nokia Ovi Suite via Bluetooth on Nokia ...

I had a tough time in getting the Nokia N8 in sync with the latest Nokia PC Suite which will recognise the N8 (version 7.1.40.9) together with the Nokia Ovi Suite through bluetooth. It was a nightmare! I don't use to have any troubles in connecting any Nokia phones via bluetooth but I do have a problem with the N8.
After searching through various forums and blogs, I have come to a conclusion. There is a workaround the problem when it pertains to the Nokia PC Suite. I rarely use the Nokia Ovi Suite because the Ovi Suite would not allow me to sync calender items for more than 6 weeks. With the Nokia PC Suite, it will allow a user to sync any items for 99 years! Can you believe it? However, not all are lost. The Ovi Suite is better in terms of installing updated maps on the N8 though. You would not be able to do so on the Nokia PC Suite.
When it comes to synchronising your N8 with your PC Suite/ Ovi Suite via bluetooth, you need to take care. The steps will be as follows:
(1) Install the latest Nokia Ovi Suite and or PC Suite Suite version 7.1.40.9.
(2) Don't run Ovi/Nokia PC Suite. If they are running on the taskbar, right click to exit all of them.
(3) Enable bluetooth on your N8 and then right click on the bluetooth devices icon at the bottom right of your laptop.
(4) Once you have right clicked on the bluetooth devices icon, select 'add devices'.
(5) Follow the prompts on your N8 and also on your laptop/pc.
(6) Please make sure that your N8's bluetooth is on 'discoverable'. Otherwise your laptop/pc will not be able to pick up the signal.
(7) Follow the instructions given and then reboot your laptop/pc.
After that, you would need to fire up your PC Suite or Ovi Suite but not both at the same time. Use PC Suite to sync your contacts/messages/calenders while use the Ovi Suite to install and update your map on your Nokia devices.
Good luck!

Thanking You

Pls help. I'm able to connect my N8 to my laptop's win7 home premium but not to OVI suite or PC Suite.
They get connected with N8 over cable but not over bluetooth. PC Suite says "Can not authenticate the phone" and ovi suite keeps checking the "Phone's bluetooth capabilities".
Kindly help.

Empty Nokia Phone Browser when using PC Suite

I have recently installed Nokia PC Suite v6.86.9.3 for use with my Nokia N95 8GB. I have also updated the firmware on my phone to version 20.0.016 so I should have all the latest versions.
Everything installed ok and i opened PC Suite as normwal. I can see my received messages in the bottom left corner of the Nokia PC Suite main screen but when I click on the envelope icon to create or send message it opens My Computer and nothing happens. The same problem occurs when I click on File manager or Contacts.
I have noticed in My Computer that I now have the Nokia Phone Browser. If I open this I can click on the icons positioned to the left of the window to create a new contact, create a new text message or refresh the folder, however the folder itself is empty.
I have read in the help files that you should be able to browse contact information & text messages along with the phone memory and memory card, but I'm getting no where.
Can anyone help me with this?
Solved!

Hi,
Can anybody confirm if this is still the way to solve the problem with phone browser not showing everything?
I used to work with PC suite for Nseries and could easily access my messages and contacts through phone browser. I recently did a firmware upgrade (to version V 31.0.015) for my N95 8GB and installed Ovi suite (2.1.1.1.) and PC suite (7.1.55.0) since then I`ve had several problems among others with maps updater and map loader. For now I`ve solved the maps issue manually. I can make and restore back-ups etc. so it`s got me confused.
I tried on my XP (SP 3) pc in case of compatibility issue for Windows 7 64x but same problem, deleted connectivity cable, all ovi/nokia related stuff, reboot, then restart, pc did found new hardware, drivers added correctly but no messages or contacts in phone browser (the rest of the folders does appear!) and as soon I click on my phone in the tray pc suite shuts down but no way to remove hardware safely.
As my screen also seems to have trouble showing stability at startup since this upgrade, (it comes on, shows my personal picture on screen, takes some extra long seconds to get connected, rebuilds the screen completely, then disappears for half a minute and decides to pop back on again. But when I enter menu a long double line shows up on the right side screen -like opening a browser with a scroll downbar- then the bar disappears and the rest is working just fine! I actually never had any issues with my trusted and beloved phone before hence the long wait for firmware upgrade, if it wasn`t for the update to free maps.. (got a new N97 for a few days so I got excited about it )
The weirdest thing is I`ve already did some soft/hard resets-only with digits not with fingers-, also reinstalled the firmware update again so I`m a bit clueless to what to do next, so I want to try as suggested above but since that was posted 2 years ago...
Any new or better suggestions?
thanks!

Ovi Store and X7

My husband and I about a month ago got two new X7 phones. ever since we have had the phone we have had problems with the Ovi store. I have been in contact with Nokia support to try and resolve this issue with no luck.
Today when I was talking to them try to fix this issue i went to my husbands phone, clicked on the ovi store and it told me that it needed to update so I allowed it to. Guess what now it workes perfectly fine on his phone and still will not work on mine. They have done a factory reset on my phone and then manually tried to do it using Nokia Suite still no luck.
I did some digging and noticed that there are two different versions of the Ovi store on both of our phones, 2.08.035 on his and 2.12.045 on mine. Ovi as well is different, 0.6.11121 on his and 1.0.11122 on mine. Looking into it more there are other default aplications on his phone that i know are not on mine.Is there any way for me to transfer these from his phone to mine? Maybe it'll make everything work..

Hello Chew22, I think the file transfer cannot be done. Because some files come with the firmware and we cannot send them. For Ovi/Nokia store you may try to download the latest client and then check whether its working or not. You may check these two links http://n8fanclub.com/2011/09/ovi-store-updated-to-nokia-store-316030.html?m=1 or http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/store-qml-client . The latter one is a beta version but you may try.
