Hey,
I can feel hw much frustrated u r
I assume 4m ur post that Ovi Suite took too much time to backup ur phone data.. My question is are you backup-ing complete memory card data as well along with ur backup? Whts the capacity/size data stored on ur memory card? Y i m asking this bcoz, if u wanna backup say 1GB of file, u can how much time it may require, in ur case, i dont have idea what all r the contents u hav backup-ed? Say for ex, if u r backup-ing 8 GB (here i m assumng that u hav 8 gb memroy card with 5800, which is so in most of the cases) contents of memory card, obviously it wil take more time as its connected in pc suite mode only n not in Mass Storage/Data transfer mode. So it wud b nice to knw, what all r d contents u r trying to backup using Nokia Ovi Suite and y its taking too much time to backup
Hope u hav some time to clarify...

OVI Suite Backup and Firmware Update

Hello,
So this might be a little long winded, but it's just what I've been through so I cant' really condense it down anymore.
So a few days ago now (almost a week) I received an SMS from Nokia telling me to update my phone firmware. I then hooked my phone up to my PC, and checked for software updates. I updated OVI Suite to the latest version, rebooted and then checked again. It found the update for my phone and asked if I wished to apply it. Naturally I said yes, it then told me I should backup my phone first, and then asked if I would like to do that now, which I said yes to, and chose to backup everything. It then downloaded the update, applied it, and then asked me to restore my phone, All of which appeared to work fine.
A quick look through my phone to check everything and it all appeared normal, My custom theme was there, my facebook app was there, my contacts/photos/music were there. Oh but wait, I was missing my Sudoku game. A little odd, yes, but no worries I got that from the OVI store, I'll just be able to re-download it, because that's why you make purchases from app stores instead of publishers directly.
No, apparently not. This game wasn't listed in my "My Stuff" tab in the OVI application. That's ok, I'll just download it from the SMS I was sent originally.
No. Not that either. The SMS link is no longer valid. So at a loss I decide to turn to technical support, I mean after all I have a technical issue I need support with.
I e-mail technical support Basically telling them above. Then then ask for a transaction ID, which I have no record of (not sure why not?). I then provide even more information, ask them to escalate, ect. End result is, I don't get my game back. They have no record of me downloading this in the past, and for some reason it isn't available to download anymore.
Frustrated, I e-mail the developer/publisher, explaining my situation. They respond promptly (within the hour), providing my with a link and SMS to download the application again, and apologise for Nokia's behaviour. Nice. I've now got my game back things are good again in my world.
So with that little story in mind, I raise a few questions. Why was this application not backed up/restored with my phone backup? This seems like a pretty serious bug, especially considering that technical support won't provide download links for games or applications unless you can provide them with information provided by Nokia in the first place ( :s very round about).
My situation is pretty small in the whole scheme of things I guess. But if it can happen to me I guess it can happen to others. So why Nokia can things like this happen? What would have happened if this wasn't a small game, but rather a largish application, with data, that cost lots of money? Sure I could have gone directly to the publisher then as well, but if the purchase was made through the OVI store, what record would they have of me? This centralised store is supposed to handle all of these problems (ie, Steam or Apple App Store). Also how can bugs like this get through the alpha/beta testing of the OVI Suite backup utility? This must surely be considered a critical part of the application.
Judging from my response from Nokia thus far, I'm not sure if I'm even expecting a response to this. I guess it should server as a warning to others if they think they can trust this software or even the technical support behind it to back them up in case of issues. My advise? Get a different brand phone.

Hi,
I used to install applications on my memory card than in phone memory and i used to take out memory card while updating the phone's firmware, so that i can avoid any loss of application while updating the phone's software.
May i knw in your case, have you installed the application on your phone memory(i guess you have stored on your phone memory only) still its better to get clarify so that it may be an eye opener for rest.

Ovi Suite + 5230 USB not working

Preamble:
I recently connected my Nokia 5230 mobile phone to my PC via USB connection and loaded up Ovi Suite (2.2.1.23). Everything worked lovely. But alas! Both an Ovi suite update was available, as well as a update for the phone itself! So I downloaded the latest version of Ovi Suite (3.0.0.284).
Unfortunately, now Ovi Suite does not detect when I select "PC Suite" USB mode (selected on the phone screen). This essentially makes Ovi Suite useless.
So I followed some advice on other discussion pages (more on that later) and reinstalled the Ovi Suite. The problem persisted.
Here are some pictures to help you understand my problem:
http://i.imgur.com/5IknF.jpg
The computer is able detect the phone is connected via USB. I can even browse the contents of the phone memory and memory card. Upon detecting the connected phone, and me pressing 'PC Suite' on the phone screen, it will show this:
http://i.imgur.com/lV0rs.jpg
I cannot progress past this screen. The Ovi Suite simply does not recognise that I've selected that option on the phone.
Defense:
I know what your thinking. "Just another USB thread". Well, I did in fact read plenty of threads on this forum before posting, and have spent the last few hours uninstalling and reinstalling Ovi Suite and drivers in various ways (as suggested in those threads), with no success.
The following is a list of forum threads which I have read and tried all the solutions found in each, and I have copied the solutions (which appear to have worked for other people), for your convenience:

Solutions which did not work for me:
Could you please follow these steps and check?
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 suite (hopefully) should detect your mobile properly now.
1. Uninstall all nokia related applications like Ovisuite, pc suite, connectivity cable driver,pc connectivity solutions, nokia software updater etc. from ur PC.
2. Restart your PC
3. Now download and install the recent ovisuite from http://www.ovi.com/suite
4. After installation, disconnect/disable your internet connection (this will make sure that the PC use the drivers which comes with ovisuite and prevent the PC from downloading any new drivers from internet) and then connect your mobile and wait for drivers and support software installation.
5. After drivers installation you can connect your mobile to ovisuite from ovisuite screen.

(From /t5/Nokia-Ovi-Suite/E52-Sync-Error-8393f010-838c03ee/m-p/740481)
Ovi Suite then recognized my device and the sync appears to have gone smoothly. I hope it works for you too! It's ridiculous that it causes so many problems though--I've wasted many hours on something that should have installed correctly the first time.

Zship's revelations:
So this is not really a problem for me. I have the working, older (2.2.1.23) version of Ovi Suite installed on my netbook, and sure enough, it works fine, I just tried it. I wont be updating Ovi Suite on it though. I also could probably just download the update via 3.5G using just the phone itself, but the problem remains that a simple software update has caused a critical connectivity problem between your software and hardware. Given that many Nokia customers would have less technical know-how than say, myself or anyone else on this forum, this problem is a quite likely a huge inconvenience to them, they probably wouldn't visit these discussions and spend 5 hours reinstalling software like I just did, and they surely would be thinking twice before purchasing another Nokia device in the future.
tl;dr - Nokia recommended update breaks connectivity between software and device, various attempts to fix seemingly simple problem don't work.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

SAME PROBLEM. And none of the many suggested solutions has worked for me yet. I want to thank all on this thread (and many others) for their help. I've learned a lot but I haven't gotten to the bottom of it. I think maybe Nokia needs to ... uh ... bloody well BOTHER TO FIX THIS ISSUE themselves, maybe. Like, cuz they're PAID FOR IT and I'M NOT. Harrumph.
I run Windows XP, and was on Media Player 11, but have rolled back to 9 and 10. I have a Nokia E 72. I have all the latest Nokia cable-drivers, PC Suite, OVI Suite, Connectivity software, etc.. The symptoms are as follows: when I plug in the phone by USB cable, the laptop won't recognize it. It says "USB device faulty" or "failed to load properly" and refuses to get the hardware into its brain. The Device Manager shows only a "Unknown Device" which I cannot install drivers onto. Taking the extra media-card out of the phone doesn't make any difference -- nothing I've done will make the computer recognize the main (built-in) card in the phone. I can't browse to it via any sort of populate / repopulate disk drive, or any other method of connecting it.
As I understand it, this is some conflict with the phone and the new concept of MTP. Media Transfer Protocol confuses the computer, causing it to kind-of think that the phone is kind-of a media player, when in fact it's a whole lot more. So, the "parent" doesn't get loaded, then the rest of the phone doesn't get loaded, then it kind-of tries to load some MTP but fails, etc.. If I could browse to the phone through a non-Nokia connection I'd be happy to do so in order to implement any of a number of the suggestions above. But I can't get the computer to recognize the phone when the phone is plugged in by USB, regardless of all the solutions above.
The problem began a few days ago. It just up and wouldn't recognize the phone. I hadn't installed any updates that I knew of on either item, but it's possible that my memory is faulty and a newer version of this or that snuck in there and screwed it all up. I have tried a serious roll-back to a Restore Point about six weeks old, but that didn't solve the problem. This suggests to me that the problem is phone-resident, since the rollback was to a computer-based Restore Point and I don't have phone rollback capability.
This seriously hampers me. PC Suite, OVI, and some future version of Nokia Suite, will all be useless to me unless Nokia accomplishes the stunning act of supporting their software. I won't hold my breath. Just in general, you'd think that plug-and-play of a phone into your computer would be a lot simpler. Just take the cord -- stick it in the phone; stick it in the computer -- and shazam, you're plugged in. But NOOOOOO we're on NOOOOOOKIA ... Now I know why Microsoft wanted to buy them so badly. They knew they'd all get along and have the same assumptions about software -- that it doesn't really matter whether it works reliably on a user's computer at his home, as long as it works in theory on some programmer's ideal personal computer in Seattle once in a rare while. Nokia? Meet Microsoft. Microsoft? You and Nokia will get along juuuust fiiiine ...

Can anybody offer any advice on how I can get it working.

OVI Suite Backup incomplete ?

Recently converted from PC Suite to OVi Suite, as 'forced' by the imminent obsoleteness of PC Suite. Made backups via OVI Suite in the last four weeks, ensuring "all boxes" ticked, just like I did for years in PC Suite.
After a firmware upgrade I realized that _not all user files_ are in the backups. I can reproduce this easily. When I create a backup _six_ checkboxes are ticked, including "Documents" . Upon restore only _five_ checkboxes available, no "Documents" to be seen.
1) How can I avoid this problems in the future
2) Why is there not an option backup entire device ?
Looking forward to your replies,
Regards,

Ovi Suite hangs on sync

Hello, I just bought a Nokia N8 and wanted to sync with Outlook. The first time it worked, but after removing the phone and reconnecting the sync hangs at different stages. Sometimes in the preparation stage "Synchronisation wird vorbereitet", sometimes during sync. There is no error message, why it hangs. After deinstalling and removing any phone specific drivers from device panel I reinstalled the Ovi suite. First sync worked, second not. In my opinion, regular reinstallation for every sync is no option. Any other ideas? Windows 7 pro 64 bit, Ovi suite 3.0.0.290, Outlook 2003.

Hi,
N8
Win7 x64
Ovi 3.0.0.290
I have exact same problem as OP.
I spent 4 hours this morning attempting to sync contacts, which I eventually managed to do.
I am now trying to sync Calendar & Tasks, but having no luck. Ovi always hangs with one of two possible status messages (both of which were originally described by OP).
Either:
...or...
I have tried all suggestions put forward by mahayv in this thread, up to and including deletion of the MDataStore.db3 file. BTW, deleting this file did not make Ovi Suite lose all contacts, messages etc., as mahayv indicated it would.
When Ovi hangs on Sync, and I attempt to cancel, it then hangs again with the following message:
After I then shut down Ovi, using File > Exit, both the program window and notification area green "Ovi" icon disappear, but two processes are still running (namely: NokiaOviSuite.exe and nokiaaserver.exe). These processes must be manually terminated before Ovi Suite can be successfully restarted. If I do not manually terminate these processes and try to restart Ovi Suite, then what happens is I get multiple copies of these processes appearing in task manager, but no Ovi Suite window will ever appear.
Bottom line: Ovi Suite is not behaving remotely as it should.
I have tried many possible solutions, suggested both here and in other threads and forums. These include:
Reinstalling Ovi Suite
Repairing Nokia connectivity cable driver
Reinstalling Nokia connectivity cable driver
"Repair Sync" option within Ovi Suite
Uninstalling ALL Nokia software and reinstalling
Restoring a C drive backup I took about a week ago (i.e. before all this started) thus giving me a "clean slate" from which to try again
I sincerely hope this issue is being taken seriously, as from my various net wanderings it looks like many people are having connectivity issues with Ovi Suite. FWIW, I get the impression that the common factor is Windows 7 x64.
As people have mentioned previously, Ovi Suite is a big let-down at the moment. I really like my N8, but the longer I am without calendar sync, the bigger a problem this is going to become.
Thanks mahayv for helping out so far - I really hope we can get to the bottom of this.

OVI Suite 2.2.0.241 connection issues

Hey guys, seriously what's wrong with nokia?
PC suite used to work, and they go ahead and changed it to ovi suite which doesn't work!
N95/96 used to work, and they came up with n97 which is a headache! What's the matter with nokia?
How many people here who have ovi suite 2.2.0.241 that works? I can't get this lil devil to install updates or backup my data on N97.
These nokia things have destroyed me mates.

Good advice from Rad (as usual), I use Ovi Suite and haven't had a problem, if on occasion the phone fails to connect quickly removing and re-inserting the usb cable usually works (as it did with PC Suite !) but the final solution is a clean install, but you need to go to add and remove programmes and remove EVERYTHING with Nokia or Ovi in the title, including drivers. Also just leaving things for a few minutes sometimes gives the phone and computer time to 'bond' !
@Radical24, quiet day at the office ? you seem to be spending a lot of time on here ! surely photography must be more appealing ?

What's the difference between Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2....

Yesterday I updated to Ovi Suite 2.2.1.22 from 2.2.0.245 - Update crashes as usual with OVI suite (Error Message: Could not delete Service).
I had to uninstall all Nokia SW, reboot, install first the new Ovi Suite than PC Suite (I like a reliable Outlook Synchronisation, which OVI doesn't provide).
Just tried to define a Outlook folder to synchronize Outlook Notes: Just by accessing the Outlook file - Ovi crashes!
For what OVI suite is usefui? Delete all the Maps on my phone at once (which lasts several Hours) - Formatting the memory card is much more faster
Looking whether the is a ROM update for my N82 is available - It isn't.
PC Suite still works fine in synchronizing Outlook 2010 on Win7 x64. OVi suggests the same, but immediately crashes when just accessing a Outlook file.
Possibly in OVI Suite 5 this will work, about in the year 2025.
Where there is a technical documentation on the different versions of the OVI suite, where on the Nokia web I can find out, what release number is the current version?
I think, Nokia should do a better job!
Best Regards, Oblomow

Resistance thermometer wiring configurations:
Two-wire configuration
The simplest resistance thermometer configuration uses two wires. It is only used when high accuracy is not required as the resistance of the connecting wires is always included with that of the sensor leading to errors in the signal. This applies equally to balanced bridge and fixed bridge system.
Three-wire configuration
In order to minimize the effects of the lead resistances a three wire configuration can be used. Using this method the two leads to the sensor are on adjoining arms, there is a lead resistance in each arm of the bridge and therefore the lead resistance is cancelled out. High quality connection cables should be used for this type of configuration because an assumption is made that the two lead resistances are the same.
Four-wire configuration
The four wire resistance thermometer configuration even further increases the accuracy and reliability of the resistance being measured. In the diagram above a standard two terminal RTD is used with another pair of wires to form an additional loop that cancels out the lead resistance. The above Wheatstone bridge method uses a little more copper wire and is not a perfect solution. Below is a better alternative configuration four-wire Kelvin connection that should be used in all RTDs. It provides full cancellation of spurious effects and cable resistance of up to 15 Ω can be handled. Actually in four wire measurement the resistance error due to lead wire resistance is zero.

Need help with Nokia ovi suite v2.1.1.1 & nokia PC...

The problem is that whenever I put back the messages to my N79 using nokia ovi suite v2.1 or v2.1.1.1 or nokia PC Suite v7.1.40 using drag & drop , the messages are displaying in the last name then first name format, however it should be First name then Last name format as my contacts are already set to first name last name format
I had already tried updating phone software done by nokia care centre, hard reset, drag & drop, use different versions of ovi suite but nothing is working. So tell me which software is causing this problem. So plz help me in this problem
Is it a firmware problem or Is it a bug in nokia handsets or it's a international standard formatbecause if it's the 3rd case then make a fix for India because here people likes to have first name last name format.

Ovi onT'InterWebThingy was being stupid
said could not see device
device was not synched since Dec
could not load settings
sorry could not retrieve device information
etc, etc
SO
removed device - well I tried, kept failing
said could not remove - persisted, round and round again and again
removed and setup new device BUT - at one point said I had three devices
loads of txts to phone to configure
FINALLY removed all three! and added only one!
THEN uninstalled Ovi suite on PC and re-installed
Then it all worked !

Management of phone with OVI suite

How does one manage their phone using OVI Suite.Example adding / amending items to the calender which is available on PC Suite or manage files and folders?

I found the answer for my problem.
I've imported my contacts from my Palm Tungsten with vcards. In my Palm I used / as separator in my phone numbers. When I imported the contacts with Nokia PC Suite it copied the numbers with / character to my phone. And Ovi synchronized it with the same character.
But it seems that Ovi does not like the / character and if a phone number contains it it will delete the phonenumber from my E52. It has the numbers on my PC but not in my phone. After I've replaced all the / characters in Ovi suite with - character everything worked fine.

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!
One frustrated owner counting down the days to my upgrade option.
