OVI suite and Sync

i have noticed that there are issues with the sync capabilities on the OVI suite and it actually completely destroyed my database of contacts!
i had to go back to my main pc and do a complete wipe on all of the contacts with PC Suite instead.
it seems that the mapping still has issues, specifically, for USA, the zip code is mapped to go before the city, rather then after the state!  had to go through all of my contacts on outlook and manually fix each contact so that when i needed to print mail labels, etc, that it would print correctly.
after you clean it up, the sync is fine, unless you sync between multiple laptops/pc's.  then the OVI suite mixes up all the info and deleted some contacts, and changed some info within the contacts...for instance, if there were 2 different email address/phone numbers/etc. then suddenly, i had both of the email addresses the same!
anyone else had these challenges?  is there a fix?

  • N900 and ovi suite message syncing?

    Noticed that some blogs are saying that it is now possible with the new n900 firmware:
    www.h-online.com/open/news/it...0-1125338.html
    'Sync messages' is still disabled for me
    Anyone here able to sync?
    Ovi version is 2.2.1.123
    N900 latest 1.3 firmware

    I am unable to syn my n900 on the Ovi suite and I know there is a device software update but I am not being offered the update either.

  • Apparent problem with Ovi Suite and Win 7 64 bit

    Hi
    Apologies if this has already been covered, but i have searched quite thoroughly and i haven't come across the specific problem i'm querying.
    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, with PC Suite 7.1.51.0, which runs just fine.
    I intend to upgrade to the superb N8 when my contract comes to an end in 6 months, so i'm just doing my homework.  
    Apparently, the N8 will only run on Ovi Suite, NOT PC Suite.
    Now if anyone disputes this and can convince me that the N8 works perfectly fine with PC Suite, then read no further, please just respond!  (Bear in mind the OS i'm running though).
    As nice as Ovi Suite is, i've managed just fine so far with PC Suite.
    Otherwise, please let me explain the problem i am having:
    I installed Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23.  When i run it, it shows the main screen, and you can just make out a small window appearing in the middle saying "Nokia OVI".
    It is then that the program stops responding, eventually displaying the error message which reads:
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\...
    This appication has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
    Please contact the appication's support team for more information.
    Judging by the similar stories of Ovi crashing (not finding one where the program fails to open, though), i think it is related to the fact that i'm running Win 7 64 bit; but i could be wrong.
    I have tried installing it in compatibility mode, then (failing that), running it in compatibility mode, all to no avail.
    Is this a problem that Nokia know about?  If there is an intended fix within 6 months, then that'll be fine.
    Otherwise, do any of you clever people know any work-arounds?
    Any further questions you need to ask, please don't hesitate.
    Many thanks

    Solved!

    Pinpointing the problem may be very difficult as Ovi-Suite appears to be extremely unpredictable.and getting Ovi-suit tu run an sync properly seems to be largely a matter of luck.
    I have just set-up three brand new identical HP workstations for our Geo-Information Department.
    All were set up from the same disk image with only Win 7 Pro Office 2010, then directly Ovi-Suite as our Geo-Information guys insisted on Nokia handsets against our advice.
    On one, machine Ovi-Suite crashed on launch and was unable to run at all.
    on the second, Sync to OL 2010 failed consistently.
    ont the third, everything ran fine with an N97 but an N8 was not recognized
    So i got curious and run tests on one machine: I installed the same disk image a total of six times (clean win7-64, clean Office 2010 3 times, Office 2003 three times)
    Office 2010
    the first time i had the crash on launch, second time OL2010 sync fail, third time it ran ok.
    Office 2003
    First time notes sync failed, second and third time all was ok.
    So the issue is definitely with Ovi-Suite and it appears to be pure luck whether is runs or not and if it runs at all, whether it syncs or not.
    Syncing OL 2010 seems to be much trouble prone than OL2003, 64bit appears to be much less stable than 32, onb win 7 it seems to have slightly fewer issues than on XP.
    We have NO issues with any other sync software (Palm, BB, Fruit, S-E, Microsoft, even Nokia PC-Suite).
    None of the software is run with admin privileges (as we just do not give admin rights to users). If software requires admin rights to be installed, it is done by Data Center employees.
    I'm afraid one's best bet to get Ovi-Suite running is trial and error, or if  the handset supports it, use PC-Suite, which is what we do.
    Ovi-suite users, according to our logs, generate over 70% of our smart phone related support calls, even though they are only 6% of our smart phone user base.
    As a result, we currently have all Nokia handsets that do not work with PC-Suite and require Ovi-Suite blacklisted in our organization, meaning we won't support them in any way. Installation of any flavor of Ovi-Suite is prohibited on user PCs as long as it does not become more stable, reliable and less of a resource hog.
    Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

    Hello All,
    I'm following this thread and would like to know the following: How do you delete the Synch profile on the phone? I have the 5800 and it presents two ovi.com profiles for synching. The first one does not work, but the second ovi.com profile does. I would like to eliminate the non functioning profile.

  • Ovi Suite Thunderbird Sync

    The syncing between Ovi Suite and Thunderbird cannot be a 1:1 match as Thunderbird doesn't hold all the same fields as Ovi Suite. However, I really need to be able to customise the sync mapping between fields so that I get a useful address book out of the sync process.
    As it stands, I put contact's personal numbers as "Mobile (Home)" or "Mobile (Work)", likewise with email addresses and orther details.
    Currently, the sync only supports the basic "Mobile",  "Email" etc fields, so my sync is next to useless as I end up with empty contacts in Thunderbird. Can we please gain the ability to choose which fields correspond to one another so I can get a useful addressbook out of the sync process?

    unfortunately, there is not currently a way to map the sync with ovi suite, or pc suite for that matter.
    sorry m8.

  • Ovi suite should sync ovi maps

    Hi,
    just a gripe I hope Nokia will read. It would be nice if the ovi suite could 'sync' maps. What I mean is you can browse either the available maps or the maps on your phone. It can't show you the two together. What it *should* do, if Nokia actually used their own products, is show the available maps with some mark '*' to indicate which are already on your phone. When copying maps it should prompt you that a certain map is already on the phone and offer the opportunity to overwrite or skip.
    You know, basic 1990's file sync stuff.
    Maybe I'll send Nokia support an email.
      Sander

    Hi, look I really think you need to chill about this, you only need to update maps every couple of years, I work in the motor trade and most expensive factory fit sat nav systems are cd/dvd based and are generally not updated much more often than 18 months, the whole reason for loading maps onto your phone is to save data charges and speed everything up. If you have no maps on your phone navigation will still work if internet is connected as the phone will download maps 'on the fly' as it needs them, but it just slows things down and if you're out of your region will cost plenty in roaming charges (so download your foriegn destination on pc before you leave). Just enjoy your phone and free navigation

  • Ovi Suite and photo management troubles

    Hello there,
    I've recently installed the Ovi suite to transfer my holiday photos to my mobile phone.
    However upon first launch it started to search my pictures folder for photos and  automatically added them to the ovi library. so after a little research i've found out that it should be save to "delete" the photos from be ovi library.
    and here are my actual questions:
    1. why does it add photos without asking the user?
    2. why does deleting or adding photos take ages? (about 20min for 19GB on a decent laptop)
    2a) does it store a copy of the files somewhere?
    2b) why do the two related processes take up 50% of cpu usage for adding or deleting files?
    3) why doesn it it sync the photos from the pc to the mobile when i hit the "sync photos" button?
    4) how can i transfer albums that have been created in ovi suit to my mobile, in a way that the album is browsable as such on my phone?
    i hope someone can enlighten me,
    kupetzky

    Hey,
    This may not b d complete reply u r looking for, n this is what i knw frm this forum
    1) Open Nokia Ovi Suite > Tools > Options > Photos > Photos folder location - This can be changed as per ur wished location
    2a)  It is stored in ur pc(it wud b gud, if u can share ur pc details so that ppl will inform, where ur database file for ovi is getting stored)
    2b) what r d 2 process u r talking here? (is it NokiaMServer n NokiaAserver or NokiaOviSuite.exe if yes, there r already few discussions happened related to these processes need while running Nokia ovi Suite)
    3) i m bit confused on ur query, AFAIK, photos sync in Nokia Ovi Suite is one way - i.e. ur phone's photo can b synched from phone to ur pc thru Nokia Ovi Suite and not vice versa, u can't sync ur pc's photo to ur phone thru Nokia Ovi Suite via SYNC, but there r ways like drag n drop, Windows Xplorer kind of, u can read in related posts of this Nokia ovi suite
    2a & 4) i dont hav any suggestions currently as i hav nt tried these
    Hopefully rest of forum members will share their views too, as i did....

  • PC Suite vs.Ovi Suite for Syncing N900

    I am coming from Blackberry with no Nokia experience whatsoever. I am running Windows 7 and Outlook 2007.  I am used to a 2 way – or 1 way sync for my Blackberry – because really both are needed.  I have read that PC Suite has more features than Ovi Suite for sync.  That they “dumbed down” Ovi Suite and it only has 2 way capability.  
    The N900 is coming… I ordered it tonight.  What is really the best software to sync my Outlook 2007 contacts (and possibly calendar) although I have read Outlook Calendar may not be possible..??..
     Thanks – I would hate to install what might not be the best software to sync this phone… I am hoping to avoid any rough patches if at all possible.

    I agree that it is annoying that the full support is not there yet but for me that is far more preferable than having had to wait until that end of it was sewn up entirely for the phone to be released.
    There's enough there between the phone andPC Suite to cover more than jusrt the bare essentials and it gives us something to look fotward to
    True.  And this phone is so capable computer software to do "things" isn't as relevant.  I haven't even had to do a  battery pull  or restart it.  It is an amazing device for sure. 
    Also, I did test "copying and pasting" the converted music files from the Blackberry media card to the internal memoy of the N900 and it worked flawlessly!  Even the album art work made it.  I still may check out Double Twist, but at least this way if "free."

  • Nokia Ovi Suite - Messages Sync doubt

    Hi all,
    I have this doubt concerning the messages sync:
    Let's imagine, I make a sync between my nokia, so all the messages are copied and appear in the Ovi Suite. Some other day I decide do delete some messages on the cell phone. When I sync it again with the Ovi Suite, will it delete those same messages or will they remain?
    I didn't find an option to chose whether I could chose the kind of synchronization, since I would like to delete some SMS from the cellphone but keep them intact in my computer.
    Thanks!

    Hey,
    AFAIK Nokia Ovi Suite Message sync is one-way sync, ie., u can sync ur handset's messages from ur device to Nokia Ovi Suite and the other way is not possible.  Xprts confirm
    If u delete few messages from ur device after synching those with Nokia Ovi Suite, then if sync is successful means, ur messages will b there on both handset and on ur device.  Once if u delete ur messages from device and then if u sync ur handset with nokia ovi suite for message sync, ur deleted messages on the phone will not get deleted from nokia ovi suite and becuase of ur sync even the deleted messages will get restored from nokia ovi suite to ur device, as i said earlier it is only one way sync.
    Still if u want the deleted messages to b restored on ur device, what all can b done is u can drag ur messages from Nokia Ovi suite's message pane to ur device, then the deletd mssgs can b stored on ur device too.
    If u delete ur messgae on message pane section of Nokia ovi suite, then only ur messages will get deleted from nokia ovi suite.
    Hope its clear, if u hav any doubt, get it clarified thru our forum, but it wud b gud, if u post ur nokia ovi suite related issues on Nokia ovi suite discussions board, this one is meant for Ovi and Mobile Media > ovi.com, ovi.store, ovi share and ovi sync, which all r related to Nokia Ovi's online ie nokia account ovi.com
    If u hav any query related to Nokia Ovi suite, please do post them in Nokia discussion board > Software > Nokia Ovi Suite, i m stressing this because, ur query will get replied soon if u post ur issue related to Nokia ovi suite in its respective forum, chances r there, users will think issues u post related to ovi suite in ovi.com section will related to ovi.com

  • N97 Firmware updates but Ovi suite and SW update t...

    I have updated my firmware to the version 11 twice now. Once using the Ovi suite and once using th PC Suite Software  updater. When I go to the SW update app in my N97 it still says "Phone Software - Important" but the details just say it's the same firmware update I've already gotten. I'm thinking this may hinder my ability to get the new NGAGE, Maps, etc. updates. How do i fix this?
    Thanks for the help!!

    try this *#7780# default code is 12345 you will not lose any data, you will have to reset your settings possibly. and then turn the phone off for few minutes. turn in back on , go to the software update in the application folder and refresh the avaliable updates by going to options on the left hand side. see if this will help any 
    oh and btw you have updated your phone you can check this by *#0000# pluging this in if it is v11 you are good to go

  • Ovi Suite and Map Server connection error when beh...

    Hi All,
    from many recent versions up to the latest 3.1.1.80 I have problems to connect to the map server when behind a proxy. Ovi Suite correctly access to internet and log on (I've set-up proxy access data in the options menu) but when I access to the Maps tab I receive the massage "MAp Server not available".
    Now I've understood the reason and for nokia guys it should be very easy to fix the problem:
    if my proxy username is in the format "name surname" Ovi Suite access to internet but Maps DOES NOT.
    if my proxy username is in the format "username" (without spaces) BOTH ovi suite and Maps WORKS correctly.
    Please FIX it, it should be very easy.
    Thanks,

    Hello, 1. Were you able to use the usb connection if present? And also, make sure you have the correct drivers, if present, installed (use a device manager to check). 2. Most probably, your printer was not properly connected to the network. You need to check IP configuration. If a wireless router is used, make sure there is no MAC filtering enabled. If enabled, you need to reconfigure. 3. DHCP Service. 4. Check the network test page and make sure ssid is correctly identified. And the rest of the wireless parameters. 5. Make sure your firewall does not blobk printer connections. Make sure file and print sharing has been turned on for the appropriate network with network discovery turned on(Network and Sharing Center if Windows). Network connection should be work not public (Windows only). More assistance: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=110&prodSeriesId=... Thank you!

  • C7 OVI Suite and Windows 7 Home 64bit - no way to ...

    Hello everybody, I've just bought my C7 smartphone and I'm trying to synchronize my Outlook contacts. 
    I've installed Ovi Suite and tried to connect C7 via USB and bluetooth. It seems it doesn't recognize the connection properly. in fact, Ovi Suite shows the message: "the device is not in USB PC Suite mode. try to disconnect and reconnect the device". Checking my C7, it automatically selects the Nokia Ovi Suite connection (so, it should work properly!).
    Some tips:
    - the Ovi Suite window shows the generic "Nokia Device", it seems it doesn't recognize C7.
    - I tried also with Microsoft XP 32bit and everything works fine.
    It seems to me maybe there's a problem with Windows7 Home - 64bit?
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks

    Could you please try this?
    1. Unplug the phone from your computer.
    2. Uninstall all Nokia related applications. These applications include Nokia OVI / PC Suite, Nokia Cable Drivers, and PC Connectivity solution.
    3. Restart your computer.
    4. This step is necessary only in a few cases. If you do not have one already, install a registry cleaning application. My recommendation is CCleaner along with Registry Mechanic. Clean your registry using these applications.
    5. Restart your computer.
    6. Install Nokia OVI Suite or PC Suite, whichever is your preference. Make sure that you have the latest setup file.
    7. Download the Nokia Cable Drivers setup files from your region’s official Nokia website.
    8. Install the Nokia Cable Drivers setup file.
    9. Restart your computer.
    10. Plug in your phone and wait while its drivers are installed by Windows.
    11. Restart your computer.
    12. Run Nokia OVI / PC Suite. Your phone will now be detected by the application.
    Hopefully it will help you to solve your problem

  • Ovi Suite and iTunes conflict ?

    Dear All.
    For my N97 Mini,    I use under Windows 7 the Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245.  It works fine and it synchronize the music present in the folder "My music" ...
    The problem is that iTunes does not even run when Ovi Suite runs ...
    I try to explain better.     If I UNinstall completely iTunes (and ALL Apple SW present on my laptop) then when I re-install it, immediately it works fine (I can see my complete set of songs, I can buy new ones, etc ...).
    When after I run the Ovi Suite, this reads from the iTunes folder in "My Music" all the old and new songs, and it (re)synchronize with my N97 Mini ... perfect ! (I can listen the songs on my N97 Mini!)  but when I run again iTunes a small windows appears which says "The handle is invalid", and iTunes never starts ... so I have to uninstall/re-install  it (and ALL Apple SW !!!) again ...
    Any suggestion to solve this problem ?
    Many thanks,
    ML

    Hi Mlena,
    Even i have both Ovi Suite and itunes installed in my Windows 7 desktop. I am able to run both the softwares simultaneoulsly.
    Looks like the issue is specific to your PC. You could try uninstalling both itunes and Ovi Suite and install one by one both again.
    For OVi Suite you need to follow the below steps.
    Uninstall the following Programs, if any, from Control Panel -> Programs and Features
    Also a screen-shot of the error will help
    Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver
    Nokia Ovi Suite
    PC Connectivity Solution
    Later download and install the latest OVi Suite from the following location.
    http://www.ovi.com/suite
    After OVi suite installation , restart the PC then install the itunes.
    Hope this will resolve your issue.
    If still issue persists, Please provide your Mobile details (*#0000#) and your PC details.
    Go to OVI suite -> help -> About nokia OVI suite -> System information. Paste the information...

I have been able to perform the phone update from ovi suite but i can't sync contacts photos or anything. Phone's content won't appear! THX

    Hi latsauteh ,
    I am not sure whether this will solve your problrm but you could try this once.
    1. Disconnect your phone from PC if connected.
    2 .Open Control Panel and go to ‘Programs and Features’
    3. From the list of available programs, choose ‘Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver’
    4. Click on the ‘Change’ button on top toolbar.
    5. In the setup dialog box that pops up next, choose ‘Repair’ and select ok. Wait for setup to complete.
    6. Restart the computer if prompted.
    7. Now connect your phone to the PC. Driver installation should complete and PC/Ovi suite (hopefully) should detect your mobile properly now.
    if it does not help you can try with NOS3.1 beta

  • N8 and OVI suite no sync with Outlook 2010 calenda...

    Hi I have been trying to sync my calendar with my work computer now for two weeks since purchasing the N8.
    It is running Windows 7 enterprise (32 bit) and MS Outlook 2010.
    OVI suite ( version 3.1.0.91) recognizes the N8 OK, but I cannot sync Calendar and notes. I keep seeing the message that Outlook is not installed on the computer.
    I have tried many of the suggestions from this forum without success. I have even installed PC Suite 7.1.30.9 which also recognizes the N8 and even allows the manual sync operation to be initiated, but no data (appointments) are transferred in either direction.
    Please can someone help me?
    I know it can be made to work as my home computer which runs a home version of Windows 7 (64 bit) and Outlook 2010 seems to sync correctly. I cannot work out what the difference is.
    I have already tried PC Suite cleaner and several reinstalls. My excellent old E66 phone can still sync quite successfully on both computers

    When I try synchronize calendar & tasks, OVI tell me that I need Windows Calendar or Microsoft Outlook. But I have Outlook.
