Nokia E71 sync cause multiple calender entries

I've got a Nokia E71 and every time I sync between my PV (Windows XP) , Nokia E71 and my iMac i seem to get multiple calender instances of mainly repeating calender notes as birthdays and national holidays. I've tried to remove all the contacts with birthdays from my PC. When re-syncing the multiple calendar items will show up again. Seems that the PC and Mac read the calendar notes differently and hence after every synchronization add the same calendar series of i.e birtdays. Any solution to this annoying problem ?

if you are only having a few of the units with the challenges, check to see if there has been any other apps installed that may have affected the MfE that you installed on them to interface wtih your exchange server.
if there are no challenges there, then i would suggest uninstalling the MfE on the devices and then rebooting the device and then reinstalling it back on the device and setting it up again.
i had the problem only one time in the past and changing the settings seemed not to fix it at all. but restarting the process did.
also, there could have been an issue with the coveraget those employees were in with thier handsets which could have prevented the unit from syncing, causing internal confusion, then trying again and backlogging the transfer....just a theory...as sometimes the network locks the data connection and while it shows that it is connected, it is frozen.
may be a good idea to see where those affected units are "travleing" in relationship to each other to see if the coverage as stated above is an issue.

Nokia E71 Calendar Memos across multiple days

Hello,
I recently got a German Nokia E71
(E71-1 Software Version: 100.07.76 08-06-2008).
I noticed a strange behavior of the calendar:
When I create a memo that goes across multiple days (lets say 10 days or 14 days) In Month view the memo is shown correctly for the set time. Also when synchronizing with MS Outlook the memo is shown correctly on the PC.
But when you open the Memo directly (open day view, select the memo and press the center of the nav-key) then the memo is displayed to last one day longer than originally specified.
For example I created a memo that should end on the 11th of September (actually it starts in August so maybe spanning the Month barrier may also cause the problem) but it is shown to end on September 12th when I open it. Although it is shown correctly in Month view (shown on 11-Sept, not shown on 12-sept).
Maybe you have similar experiences?
Or an explanation for that behavior?
Thanks and regards,
Sebastian

I think I'm experiencing the same thing, Sebastian.
Phone: E71 bough from 3 in the UK ~20months ago.
Firmware: 100.07.76 08-06-2008 RM-346 E71-1 (241.02)
Here's how it happens:
Step 1) I create a memo on the calendar with the phone.
Step 2) I do an Ovi sync over the air (i.e. there is no use of the PC Suite or Microsoft Outlook going on).
Step 3) Some (but not all) of my single day memos are spread over two (2) days.
How it should look when correct: http://tinyurl.com/ovi-cal-memo-right
How it actually looks when wrong: http://tinyurl.com/ovi-cal-memo-wrong
As you can see in the 'wrong' example, instead of memos showing up as lasting for 1 day duration it's apparently "23 hours, 59 minutes" in duration, and ends on 18/07/2011. And yet it's spread over the 18th and 19th on the month view. The correct date (as entered and displayed on my phone) is actually the 19th! The same goes for all those other 'wrong 2-day memos': they should all only be shown on the second of the two day bar that's visible in month view.
At the moment, for some unknown reason, the problem seems confined to April-October of this year (and subsequent and prior years) and dates are stretched back by a day so they appear on the web version of the Ovi calendar as lasting for two (2) days instead of one (1). But I think that the problem has been more widespread and across-the-board in the past, and it may have put dates forward by an aditional day (although I can't be sure on that.
Thankfully, all these memos remain as correct on the phone and seem to be unaffected by the sync.
When it first happened I made an attempt to correct the Ovi Web Calendar memo sync problem before (thinking it was a once only bug) by going through all the Ovi calendar entries on the web interface and tidying things up that way. But I'm not prepared to go through all that hassle again.
It's a real niggle, to say the least.
What can be done?
Thanks for any help.

Nokia E71 - some serious issues, and Nokia doesn't...

Well, I have owned the Nokia E71 for some weeks now, and while I must say that hardware, design, keyboard and display of this phone are well engineered, when it comes to software, there are many serious show-stopper bugs in many very basic applications which have been known for months and have so far not been taken care of by Nokia. New buyers, beware: 1) The Email-client has great difficulties coping with more than about 950 messages. After that, out of memory errors and lockups while deleting messages appear. Sometimes, repeatedly, all messages are lost. 2) The internet browser crashes at random intervals. 3) The calendar seems to sometimes produce buggy internal files, which in turn make the error intolerant sync-function crash when trying to transfer data to a PC. 4) The camera picture is very noisy in low light conditions and has a purple haze. The haze was finally corrected in firmware 210. 5) However, since firmware 200 the clock in not updated in standby. 6) Since firmware 200 the alarm repeat mode does sometimes not work when the phone was switched off and was not being charged. 7) When a software installation went wrong, on every startup annoying messages appear. Due to memory protection, this cannot be corrected from the phone, but only from a PC in mass storage mode. 8) When using mass storage mode, most menu item customisations are lost. 9) When doing a firmware update, all memory contents is lost. Users repeatedly have reported that restoring the necessary backup sometimes does not work, thus all data is lost. 10) The text color of the contacts list is always black. Instead of making this something dependent on the installed color theme, since firmware 200 the background in contacts is now always white, whatever the theme. Ugly. 11) Bluetooth connections are known to be unstable. 12) There is no stop-watch or count-down timer. 13) Hands-free volume is not loud enough. In short, if you want to use your Nokia E71 professionally, and not just to play around, think twice. Perhaps a Blackberry Bold or Curve are the better choice.

I have read the whole of this topic with great interest. I haven't got an E71 yet but decided to look up a bit about it first before deciding whether it was for me. I have been using a T2 palm which is now ancient and coming to the end of its life so need something that is going to be as reliable as it has been in the past. I also wanted to consolidate my phone with my diary. I am now in two minds as to whether to go for a smart phone at all :-S.
I don't think this discussion has anything to do with the decision as to whether to get a smart phone. It has to do with whether to get *this* smart phone. There are others, of course, and they should be considered.
The original question i was looking for on the forums was whether you can cut and paste entries in the calendar as that is something I use everyday, but now having read all the posts on this board I am worried that I will lose all my appointments and contacts!!
You aren't going to lose your appointments and contacts unless you are foolish enough not to sync your phone with a PC and to back up that PC. If you have data that you care about in any electronic device and you don't back it up and the device loses the data or you lose the device you have only yourself to blame. Presumably you sync your T2 (a fine device, I have one, and two T3s as well)? Well, do the same with whatever phone you buy.
Can anyone convince me that I am doing the right thing in even considering a Nokia E71?
You've read what's been said here. I think the summary is that the hardware is very good, Symbian is a solid OS, but some of the phone and PC software, as well as the (website and phone) support is slipshod (I tried calling Nokia customer service the other day and their phone menu system went into a loop!). My experience is that while much of this is annoying as hell, I've managed to beat this thing into submission and make it usable, at least for me. And I use it both as an organizer (I'm finding that I use my T3 less and less, though I still keep it up-to-date, because there are things it can do that the E71 can't) and a phone. One of my requirements was that I wanted an unlocked phone. Because I am a light phone user (also occasional user of the web browser and email client; rarely use texting), I have a pay-as-you-go account, which is far less expensive than the usual contract account. The E71 is available unlocked at reasonable prices. Something equivalent, like the Blackberry Bold, was twice the price when I bought the Nokia in February. The iPhone wasn't available unlocked. The Google phone wasn't available unlocked and the reviews were lukewarm. The Palm Pre wasn't available. Etc. The E71 seemed like the most reasonable solution for me at the time. Of course, I didn't know about the problems I was to encounter, but, as I said, I've worked around them.
So my advice to you is to look at the whole field of available smart phones, of which there are many, consider your needs and do cost/benefit analysis. I would include the E71 in your deliberations but certainly can't give it an unqualified recommendation. But I also can't say "you are completely insane if you buy this phone". It depends on your requirements and what you are willing to pay.
I hope this helps a bit.

Nokia E71 MfE causing symptom of meeting attendee ...

Hi All,
Does anybody experienced the issue that I describe bellow?
** Exchange 2007 SP2 RU4 **
Removing single occurrence of a recurring meeting from the device makes that user the meeting originator.
- Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Have user 1 setup a recurring meeting with user 2.
- Have user 2 accept the meeting with the device
- Have user 1 cancel one recurrence of the meeting
- Have user 2 remove the occurrence from his calendar on the device
- Actual outcome:
- user 2 became originator of the meeting
- Expected outcome:
- User 2 should not be the originator of the meeting
After further analysis we identified that the item have some attributes changed:
meeting request - missing organizer from Recipient Table, but 8217 and PR_Sent correct
actual appointment - missing organizer from recipient table AND 8217 set incorrectly, but PR_Sent shows correct.
E71 was already updated to MfE 3.00.050.
Any thoughts?
Best regards
SaCruz_LC

Well, I faced this problem with E63. The reason seem to be some complexity with Exchange/Outlook entries that Nokia Calendar cannot handle. In that cases the following devices/software acted as:
Nokia E61i with Mail For Exchange refused to sync such entries and Calendar works.
HTC Touch Viva with ActiveSync (Microsoft product inder Windows Mobile) refused to sync such entries and Calendar works.
Nokia E63 (mine now) with Road Sync refused to sync such entries and Calendar works.
Nokia E63 (mine now) with Mail For Exchange syncs successfully, but Calendar fails to work.
Well, all first three cases is the one with the first mesage (E71). It has no solution as I think. The fourth one is the case with the mesage I reply to, for that, I think that Nokia need to check it out.

How to Print from a Nokia E71 to HP Photosmart C47...

Hi All,
I have recently brought a HP Photosmart C4788 All in One printer which is a Wi-fi printer. I have configured the same in my pc through a Netgear Wi-fi Adapter and its working fine with my pc. Now i want to know if i can use my Nokia E71 to fire prints through Wi-fi to my printer. Can anyone please let me know how to configure the above printer on my Nokia E71 step wise.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Check the manual for these settings.
Open Menu-> office-> printers-> options-> add-> driver-> HP mobile, bearer-> socket, accesspoint-> your AP, host-> IP of printer, port-> 9100, printer model-> photo smart printers. Make sure that antivirus and firewall accept the connection.

Lack of My Folder support for Nokia E71, even in n...

With my 6230i PC suite allowed me to see and manage folders and messages under My Folders. Now with my spanking new E71 it doesn't. Not only does it not let me manage them but I cannot even view their contents. This is not even supported with the latest Beta version of Nokia Communication Centre (Version 2.0). This is surely a major step backwards? Some problems
- Messages on my 6230i under My folders did not restore to the E71 and I have found no way to get them across. The 6230i does not let me move them back to the Inbox.
- Copy and paste between phones is not possible
- If you right clicked Inbox in Nokia Communication Centre 1.0 a New folder option appeared. This did not work. The solution in the new version appears to be to remove the option altogether.

HI,
One option may be, you can copy the 6230i messages to the PC and then paste that in Nokia e71. Hope it may help you

Nokia E71 Fading Text On Display

Hello Nokia Owners,
Hopefully someone has seen this issue and have an easy fix, as I'm frustrated about this oddball occurrence. I'm wondering if there's a QA/QC issue at hand where these are being manufactured?
Within the past 6 days, I've purchased 2 brand new Nokia E71 phones from 2 different Walmart stores, 30 mins of each other. These are phones for the Straight Talk prepaid service. I have not yet activated the phones on ST, as my goal is to first test the basic functionality to determine if it's worth the $200 and will satisfy my needs.
What's happening on both phones, in the same exact manner and location on the phone, is that the menu title name for some menus have fading text. It appears as though there's a display issue. I've attached some screenshots to make it easy to see what I'm experiencing.
However, when I've tested playing the included videos in the phone at full screen, it appears to play the videos through the menu title name area with no fading. The same goes for looking at images - I do not see any fading with the included images in that area.
I have done a Soft Reset on both phones using the *# option and from the "Factory Reset" option in the menu. This has not resolved it on either phone. I have also changed themes, changed menu colors, changed the font size, none of which has resolved this.
Thus far, I've returned one phone to Walmart and ready to return the next one now due to this issue. I'm willing to try a 3rd but that's where my limit is. I really like this phone and want it, but if this issue is indicative of a fully dead or fading display after a short period of use, I will not make the investment.
Any help is most appreciated.

When trying to unlock the keypad using the standard two keys, the screen went blank then on, blank then on (consistently, like a flicker motion) with every key I hit to unlock. (I initially hit the incorrect keys to unlock the keypad.)
Short answer: I don't know. Other phones (the E52 and maybe the E5) have issues with the display lighting at odd times as the keyboard lock or phone lock activates (not typically when it deactivates). So it could be a firmware issue. But it could have also been a bad phone.
AdriaticBlue wrote:
By any chance, have you performed a software update on your E73? That's the only step I have not taken, as it appears I need to activate the phone on service to do any software updates via TracFone. I can (and have) tested the E71 on my WIFI connection which works great, but I cannot invoke a software update via WIFI.
Mmm, you could try Nokia's Ovi Suite or Software Updater software for Windows. Instead of downloading a small patch file, you'd be downloading a complete 50 MB+ firmware file instead. You might see a message that no updates are available, but it would be worth a try.
But something to understand about Nokia phones: they're all different. You can have two phones with the same OS, released within months of each other (my T-Mobile E73 is very similar to the E72) and have very different issues. Maybe they each get firmware releases at nearly the same time, and one update fixes a bug while the other includes the bug. (I'm exaggerating a little, but you get my point.) The E71 is a feature pack 1 phone while the E72/E73 are feature pack 2, so while the phones share lots of surface features, their guts are often quite different. For example, I get the impression that Nokia made substantial changes to the hardware drivers from FP1 to FP2, but not always for the better. I have done several software updates to my phone, but have never seen the problem you described. Hopefully it stays that way.

Connecting laptop to nokia E71

Hi i just got a Nokia E71 from straight talk i was wandering if i could use it to connect my laptop to the internet if so how can i do that. I have downloaded pc suite on my computer but its having trouble connecting to the internet. Thanks in advance for the help

Hi, check out this tutorial first to make sure you do it the correct way: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/pc-suites/how-to/connect-to-the-web
If your device is brand new, I would check that you have the right internet acces point settings installed in your device. If you are missing internett and mms settings, you should usually be able to get them from your service providers internet site. If you cannot find it there, give them a call.
You will have to connect using your service providers net on your phone, beware of that if you don't have a surf plan, I would check out the costs.

Nokia E71: Messaging Button and Name and Date Form...

Two questions:
1. When in stand-by mode and I click on the Messaging button, it always directs me to my e-mail. I would like to set it as such that it will go to my Inbox, instead.
2. Is there a name separator I can use? On my inbox, the name format is "Last Name First Name". Is there a way I can change it to "Last Name, First Name" or much better would be "First Name Last Name"?
3. Lastly, I prefer my dates with the months spelled out, like "15 Nov 2008" instead of "15.11.08" It works for older Nokia models, like my brother's phone. Where can I set this for my new E71?

1: Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> General -> Personalisation -> One-touch Keys and change it from there. there are different options for short presses and long presses.
2: I think you need to get your contacts organised which in turn will organise your inbox! Go to your contacts -> Options -> Settings -> Name Display....
3: Can't help you with number 3 since they dont seem to have the ability to have the name of the month displayed, just the number of it. Maybe someone else knows how its done. Good luck to you.

NOKIA E71 "malbox' in use error message cannot sen...

Hi,
I have a Nokia E71 and cannot send emails from the gmail or pop 3 accounts set up on the device.
I can recieve emails and I know the settings are correct for the incoming and outgoing servers.
A google search has shown a number of people had this problem but I can't see any solutions.
An hour on the phone to Nokia care resulted in checking I have the correct system software on the phone ( I do).
Can any one help this problem?

Sometimes, internet service providers block access to any SMTP servers but their own over their networks. If you are sending via mobile internet then that could be the problem, try with your network operator's SMTP server (I have two mailboxes set up on my phone, one using my ISP's SMTP for when I connect via WLAN and one using the Proximus server for when I use GPRS/3G).

Nokia E71 hard reset and then....

Hi community, what happens is i perform a hard reset on my nokia e71, will i lost some software (that originally came with the phone)? or everything remains the same as when i bought it brand new?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@ Smorrissey, if I understand you correctly, then we agree that grschinon is the one beeing correct here.
@ Other users who search for help in this thread: Oposum is beeing a troll and should not be paid attention to. (I assume that oposum is refering to the "reset settings to factory default" manouver which would be *#7780# )...
people please understand, a sofware reset is provoked by software, a hardware reset is by hardware BOTH restore your phone to the brand new status.
If you only want to restore your settings the procedure is different.
Grschinon has already explained that in the posts above.

GPS navigator on nokia e71 which one is working?

Hello, I'd like to install a gps navigator on the nokia e71, do you have any suggestions apart from the Nokia maps? I read that Sygic is working on Nokia, do you know a bit more about it? What about licenses, try periods etc? do I have to pay a licence or to download maps with these kind of programs?
Thanks very much.
Pippobaudo

I've been using Route 66 for over a year now on my E71 and find it the most stable and usable of all. Tried nokia maps, google maps, Tom Tom, Papago, Mapking etc...
You can download it from here:
http://www.66.com/static_media/updates/mobile8_s60/M8_S60_Update_8.0.18990.exe
The application itself it free but you need to purchase the maps. The maps don't expire, but the traffic info, traffic cameras and weather are subscription based and optional.
Install the application on your memory card, you can either connect your E71 via USB or it's faster to put your micro SD card in a reader and install it from there.
Maps can be purchased directly via the application on the phone or you can download the Route 66 Sync (PC only) and do it from there.
You have the option to use R66 without data usage (HDSPA/GPRS) using the E71 internal GPS, I also successfully tried with an external CIRF III GPS module but doesn't make much difference.
You can however get faster fixes if you also enable "network based" and "assisted GPS" in the E71 phone settings (tools/settings/general/positioning/positioning methods)
Mind you that this will use a minimal amount of data usage for every fix e.g. when starting up R66.
But it has the advantage to continue the map scrolling when in tunnels by extraolating it's position using cell sites.
Good luck.

Nokia e71 New messages not showing in inbox

I recently updated my nokia e71 with the new software from pc suite, everything went fine but i recieved around 3 messages just after I had restored all my data onto it, I went into the inbox to read them but its showing no new messages. On the message menu my Inbox logo has a read star indicating it has new messages but they are not showing up, its also saying I have 4 unread messages when I synchronise my phone to my pc yet I cant read them via the pc. Help please!!
(Ive reset, restored to factory settings & rung nokia support with no help)
Message Edited by beckuhgreaves on 19-Jan-2010 04:21 PM

If you have a memory card, check to see if the phone is still storing messages in the same place. Example, if the phone is currently set to store messages on the phone memory, switch it to the memory card and see if the messages then show up.
If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.
