Solution for Ovi Suite 3 connectivity issue on Win...

I tried searching web for solutions but in vain, so I found it in a way I never anticipated for Nokia software though I used it many times for other software)))
After much pain, there's a simple solution for those using at least Windows 7 (as I do).
After installing Ovi Suite, do not run it out of installer, but just finish it.
Right-click on Ovi Suite, choose Properties (bottom line), in the window that appeared chose Compatibility tab, there select Run this program in compatibility mode - Windows Xp Service Pack 2.
Then OK or Apply - anyhow, after applying these settings, launch Ovi Suite, choose Use bluetooth instead (my problem was that the 'installing bluetooth modem stage' was looong and resulted in failure and, thus, impossibility to connect. Even through 'shamanism' syncing didn't work).
REMARK! On Serching for bluetooth devices you may need to do Search again so that after selecting your phone, Next button became active -> then as by the book)
Now works.
Nokia programmers don't know how to handle Windows 7 API properly???

[SOLVED]
My Solution:
1) Backup contacts using PC Suite.
2) Update firmware to v410 using PC Suite. Install my phone E66
2) Uninstall K lite codec pack n remove all related registry.
3) Import contacts back to my phone E66. Uninstall PC Suite and all nokia related drivers, registry n folders from computer. Phone driver also uninstall.
4) Reboot. Install OVI Suite 2.1.1.1. Install E66
5) Download n install K lite codec Full version 5.6.0. Set ffd show filter to open as many media files as possible. Set ffd show filter to open base on whitelist. Set ovi suite and nokiamserver.exe into ffd show filter blacklist.
This solved my problem 2 above. Hopefully its not a temporary fixed.
6) In OVI suite select auto sync off for everything. Connect E66 to phone, wait for 10 to 15 mins. Backup function should work. Backup phone.
With this problem 1 above is solved.
Last but not least, use task manager to kill nokiamserver.exe process manually. After ovi suite is exited. Hopefully, nokia will set ovi suite to kill the process when ovi suite exits in the near future.
7) Now you can add applications, configure your phone with your operator settings.
Cheers.

  • Ovi Suite sync issues

    My N95 and PC Suite sync'ed perfectly, then came Ovi. What a pain, however I got used to it.
    In the last week I have installed the latest bug fix for Ovi Suite. Now my phone will not sync. Ovi suite sees the phone, and I can message etc from my PC keyboard, but Ovi suite just sits inert when asked to sync. It shows in the various boxes "waiting to sync" but just does nothing and frquently hangs.
    Any solution?

    Hi All,
    Please read my post in following link for a workaround to this sync issue.

  • Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

    Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
    Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
    How do I get update to 6.0.2?
    Will that even help?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • N97 - Ovi Suite Connection Problem - Windows 7

    Hi all.
    I have N97, firmware version 20.0.019 (t mobile - **bleep** with the old firmware updates.... )
    I am running windoze 7 with all updates etc.
    I have the latest version of nokia Ovi Suite and the latest version of Nokia PC Suite.
    I am reluctantly trying to get used to using ovi suite instead of PC ever since Nokia's update page seemed to suggest I should be using OVi suite with this phone.
    Anyway bluetooth connection is working fine. I can do all syncs with everything on bluetooth.
    USB connection is not, when the phone is connected, and I select PC Suite on the phone, the phone and PC then get stuck in a sort of loop where the PC is "installing drivers" and the phone keeps asking me to select PC Suite mode.  Occasionally I get an error message saying I am stuck in file transfer mode.
    I have also tried this after going into settings and setting USB connection mode to PC SUITE only, with Don't Ask selected.
    This is profoundly frustrating and also renders the ability to update phone software totally useless because you cannot update via bluetooth, only USB connection.
    I am getting mighty peeved off with Nokia's ability to get firmware, and software products right.  Come on guys, hire some decent developers, and/or start responding to feedback from customers like me.  (I'd happily beta test any software, I've done it before for an online game......!!!!)
    I am considering selling my N97 online, and just buying an unlocked HTC HD2 after over a decade of using Nokia phones.
    help!
    R

    Amazing that so many have responded to this post, and not one has come close to the right answer... I've had the same problem for a while, and at first I thought it was just my old XP notebook - which had more than one problem - or the general poor performance we've come to expect from the N97. I couldn't even sync on Ovi. But with my new Windows 7 notebook in hand, I was all excited to finally update the firmware on my phone - which had been stuck on v12 for a while. Imagine my surprise when I still had the same problems with my brand-new notebook. I started browsing around for more help than this thread, and found that Nokia has released a software update program seperate from Ovi Suite. Just google "Nokia Software Updater for Windows 7" or whatever version of windows you have, download & install. You might need to kill three "Nokia..." processes in the Task Manager to let it run, because it seems Ovi suite has these processes starting up with Windows. (Amazing when they program applications to do that without your permission!) Why on earth would Ovi Suite need to run three processes on my machine anyway, if I haven't even started up the program after reboot? But still, this program wouldn't connect to my N97 via USB. I clicked on the icon in the system tray showing the drivers installing after I plugged it in, and found the culprit: The installation of the driver for "MTP USB Device" failed. Googled that, and found that there are a lot of people having problems with that, from cameras to cellphones to mp3 players. Tried a few suggestions I found, and ended up having to uninstall all my (brand new?) USB controllers (under "Device Manager") and deactivate Windows Media Player from "Windows Features", reboot, then re-activate Windows Media Player - something to do with MTP Devices getting their drivers from Windows Media Player. Not sure if it was one or both of these fixes, but then Nokia Software Updater connected to my N97 with no problem. Installed the software update, and now all is good again. Incidentally, after the software update was complete, a whole bunch of different drivers were installed when I connected the USB... the main one changed from "Nokia ... Parent ..." something to "Nokia... Flashing..." something - and Ovi Suite connects fine now as well! Good luck to everyone who had this problem - it's been fun.

  • N86 Ovi Suite Sync Issues

    I have N86 8MP s/w rev 2.1.006 and I am trying to sync contacts, calendars podcasts, photos etc using Ovi Suite rev 2.2.123 running on pc with Windows 7.
    Ovi has never really worked properly so I have deleted all Nokia programs using Control Panel in W7 on pc and done a fresh install from web site. Ovi recognises the N86 and tries to synch, but every item says ' waiting to be synced'. I have checked all the menu options and they look OK.
    I would be grateful of advice.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I beleive I've answered my own question: deleted every Nokia app via Contol Panel, then searched in Windows Explorer for any folders and files with 'Nokia' reference and manually deleted. Then did a new install and it seems to be working - sure to be other issues lurking, but am being +ve!

  • N8+OVI Suite connection problem

    Hello all.
    I have a problem since I update ovi suite to version 3.0.0.029. I can't connect the phone to ovi. It is always tell me "connect your device to your computer with usb". It's done but ovi don't detect the device . I have try with ovi suite, pc suite, software updater and noone detect the phone.
    I read a lot of people with the same problem but noone could fixed it. I try to uninstall all nokia programs and reinstall but the same. I try with other computer and same.
    OS in both computers Windows 7
    Ovi suite 3.0.0.029
    ¿Any idea here?
    Thanks.
    PD: sorry for my english. I'm from spain and i tried to dont use a translator

    I have the same problem with my N8. I've tried everything.
    Ovi Suite does not recognise my phone, but the computer does (so I can sync with Media Player etc.). 
    I was hoping that PR 1.1. would fix the problem, but it did not.
    Everything worked fine with the old Ovi Suite.
    So, this is simply a problem of the NEW Ovi Suite, not the problem of computer or cable or anything like that.
    Here are the specs:
    Windows Vista
    Cable Nokia CA-179
    Other specs from Ovi Suite system information:
    Nokia Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290
    Ovi Player 2.1.10304.0
    Nokia Photos 1.6.387.0
    PC Connectivity Solution 10.50.2.0
    Connectivity Cable Driver -ohjain 7.1.36.0
    Nokia Ovi Suite Software Updater 2010.44.0.60888
    Maps Service API 4.0.24.1
    Nokia mPlatform 2.7.44
    Waiting for a solution from anyone...and no, I will not upgrade to Windows 7 or anything like that. I will upgrade to another non-Symbian phone, however, if this can't be fixed.

    Where the H... is Nokia!!!
     Yesterday I was very close to smash the phone against the wall. I applied all the solutions from the different posts and still not solved. (Ovi-suite related)
    Obviously this phone was not ready to go to market. !!!!
    My list of additional issues:
    overheating: happened yesterday: despite no application being opened, the phone started heating. The battery was done in 15 min.
    Black screen or phone freeze: somehow the resources management is poor. The lag goes sometime over 10 sec between actions resulting by a black screen or the phone is blocked.
    Twice a the nokia repair center in Dubai, but still no solution.
    Put my old E65 in repair and going back to basic.
    Disapointed I am.

  • N96 & PC Suite & Ovi Suite connectivity - USB

    Hi
    Forgive me if this has already been covered.  I've searched the forums and have not found a definitive answer.
    Win XP Pro SP 3
    Micro USB cable supplied with N96, standard USB cable for N95
    N96 Type RM-247
    Software version 20.050
    N95 (01.01) RM-159 
    V 31.0.017
    PC Suite 7.1.26.1
    Ovi suite
    I have an N95 and two N96's.  Both N96's have been updated to the above software using PC Suite.  After the update, neither N96 is recognised by PC suite.  N95 is happily recognised.  I've installed Ovi in desperation and it opens knowing that I have an N95 but will not connect to either N95 or N96
    The N96's connect as unknown USB devices.  In Device Manager I have 5 USB 2.0 devices with Yellow question marks.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled PC suite 5x.  I have also uninstalled the cable drivers and PC Connectivity.
    Also, connecting the N96 to the USB cable will sometimes result in BSOD - a driver conflict.  Has anyone any ideas how I can get the N96's recognised?  The software update seems to have caused the problem.
    Thanks

    I uninstalled again last night, used CC Cleaner to clear all traces, checked DM - only the N95 is listed and then reinstalled PC S 7.  The instant I connected an N96 to the USB cable, I got a BSOD and a driver error notification.  Went to bed after that......

  • Ovi suite downloading issues

    I can't load ovi suite no matter how many times I've tried! I am using windows vista and have updated drivers, removed all nokia software and still I get a message saying.....Unknown Publisher error code 3,   "no digital signiture". It's driving me nuts! I could never load it when I had my N97, and now I have the N8 I want to get this sorted. 
    Is there anywhere in London that I can take my laptop too to show someone?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I am assuming that you have downloaded Ovi Suite and you get the message when you try to install it, in which case -
    All our Vista machines are now upgraded to Win 7 so I can't test this but I think the message you got can be the same as one can get if the file is blocked by Vista's file protection control which it imposes on what it thinks are suspicious files coming from other sources. It is a long shot that is the problem but I have run into it before with downloads - so if not already done, in Windows Explorer right click the Ovi Suite installation file, select "Properties" and under the "General" tab check down the bottom right hand corner and see if there is an "Unblock" button. Hopefully there is as it is an easy fix, just click it and you should be good to go.

  • Ovi Suite/N97 Issues with recurring tasks

    Hi
    I have finally managed to get my N97 to work with Ovi Suite (v 2.0.1.35) but am having some very annoying issues when it comes to syncing calendar & tasks (personally I wish I could just sync the calendar and not the tasks...).
    I have several recurring tasks in Outlook. They feature in my task list on Outlook as just one task with the recurring symbol next to them.  Whenever I sync my N97 for some reason, on both the N97 and Outlook the recurring tasks disappear  and are replaced by a years worth of the recurring task.  This means that both my N97 & Outlook task lists are suddenly overflowing and impossible to manage.
    Has anyone else experienced this & is there a way round this, or a way to simply sync calendar and not tasks??
    Thanks
    Nick

    Just tried editing my previous post and forum wouldn't let me.
    Anyhow, I just discovered that Ovi suite didn't mark my tasks as complete - it deleted them.  It also deleted quite a large chunk of my completed tasks as well.  I have absolutely no idea why it would have done this, but to say it's very frustrating is a massive understatement, I'm now having to rebuild my task list from memory.
    Never had any of these issues with PC Suite....
    P.S - In my Ovi suite options I have conflict resolution set to Outlook not Device...

    The splitter  coax F-connector may have been installed with a small connector wrench.  Just use a small 11mm or 7/16 in. wrench, or pliers and loosen the connector about 1/2 turn.  Then you can disconnect it with your fingers.  Make sure the cable itself is straight and not putting pressure on the connector.

  • Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

    Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

    There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
    I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
    If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.
