Using Nokia Photos... E71... Not Synchronising SMS...

Good Evening All!
I've recently upgraded my N95 to an E71, and made the change from LifeBlog to Nokia Photos - as the E71 doesn't support LifeBlog...
After several attempts of letting Nokia Photos convert the LifeBlog database (of over 64,000 itmes), I gave up and decided to start it from scratch.
I've got Nokia Photos synching photos from my E71, but not SMSs, MMSs or Sound Clips - which is the main reason I'm using it...
If anyone can suggest where I may be going wrong, I'd be extremely grateful...
Other information:
It's not a connection issue, as the phone is connected and Nokia Photos recognises it.
I've got the latest version of Nokia Photos, and tried reinstalling it.
The firmware version on the E71 is: 100.07.76
There is no profile set in the Sync folder on the phone as there as for LifeBlog on the N95, not sure whether that makes any difference.
Nokia History: 3110, 5110, 7110, 7110, 3510i, 6210, 6310i, 5210, 6100, 6610, 7250, 7250i, 6650, 6230, 6230i, 6260, N70, N70, 5300, N95, N95, E71, E72
Android History: HTC Desire, SE Xperia Arc, HTC Sensation, Sensation XE, One X+, Google Nexus 5

Nokia Photos can handle only the videos and images. All other stuff is handled by PC Suite for backup and viewing purposes - except the sound clips which can be synced by Nokia Music. Unfortunately, there is no Nokia solution for all-in-one for SMS, clips and images.

  • Nokia 603 mail not synchronising through wi-fi

    I have a 7month old Nokia 603, which I've updated to Belle FP2. While it had Belle and then the Belle FP1 update, the Nokia mail didn't have any problem synchronising my emails through wifi connection. But currently in Belle FP2, mail refresh works only on mobile data, and doesn't update when connected to wifi. I use manual mail update, so that it checks for mail, when I refresh the mailbox. But it doesn't refresh anymore through wifi. Please do advice regarding the solution for this problem.

    not sure what else i can suggest mate. please try the WLAN Software Update, but if that doesn't work, then you may have to try re-installing your current firmware thru Nokia Suite. failing that, you will need to take your phone to Nokia Care for inspection: http://nokia.com/support
    Ok will see to it. Also need one more help, its regarding OTG in Nokia 603. The problem I've posted in this link. Please advise regarding this too.

  • Nokia Photos Missing SMS

    I have installed Nokia Photos as part of newest version of OVI in my PC.
    Have synchronised, but deleted some sms entries in Nokia Photos.
    When I hook up my mobile with PC, the same sms cannot be synchronised anymore.
    Message was "sync completed", but the sms was not there.
    Anyway I can "force" Nokia Photos to re-sync the deleted sms?
    Solved!

    Hi,
    What i tried is
    First i synched Nokia N95 8 gb data with Nokia photos and then backup-ed messages alone and then deleted those messages from the phone and did soft resetting on my phone
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=topfaq&thread.id=149
    then i tried to sync the same device with Nokia photos, its not synching the same messages again.  If you have any other similar device(which has got lifeblog/photos on the phone to sync), then you can restore your nokia n95 8gb messages to the other phone
    [Please do make sure that the other phone was not synched with your nokia photos already ]
    Once the messages are restored to the other phone, sync it with Nokia photos so that you can get the complete SMS on your pc.  There may be some other easy work around also than this, if any, i will contact again

  • Nokia Photos - Is anybody still using it?

    More and more people think Ovi Suite has lost its focus - to become the main software to manage a Nokia phone. I do not know what went wrong with it - perhaps the need to create a software that is simple to configure/use, comparing to Nokia PC Suite, but it's clear to me, this is not what Ovi Suite is...
    Although, I admit that using Nokia software was not always so frustrating: I do remember how I felt when I first used Nokia Lifeblog - later it became Nokia Photos. I had paid in order to use it when it came out - still, I have no remorse for it - because the idea of managing your phone content over a timeline was amazing! When Nokia Lifeblog was replaced with Nokia Photos, for a moment I thought that's it; I would not be able to manage my phone's content anymore. Nevertheless, the misleading name, had nothing to do with what the software was offering...
    Today, a friend suggested to see KIN.com - I was amazed with KIN Studio - a Nokia Lifeblog/Nokia Photo replica in Silverlight, that is offered for Windows Mobile powered phones. It looks like that Microsoft found the "phone content over timeline" idea more interesting, and they are investing on it - Nokia that originally come up with the idea is done with it, as Nokia Photos is an "archived" application!
    Is anybody still using Nokia Photos? Does anyone think that the "phone content over timeline" idea should be something Nokia should be invest on, and this would be the idea to use for a software like Ovi Suite?
    Regards,
    George J.

    Hey George,
    I like the concept but, like everything else Nokia does, its just poor execution.  They started Lifeblog, ok cool. Then came Photos; ok same concept. Now they've completely ditched Photos and gone to Ovi suite.  They dont get the fact that people want to archive there data, not just switch to the latest gimmick.  At least offer an effective way to smoothly transfer data.  Argh!! so frustrating!
    I have my earlier data on Lifeblog and my latest data on Photos (thank god I didn't merge the two).  Photos wont open anymore  And Nokia is pathetically useless in the matter.  There market share worldwide will diminish pretty soon, thanks to Google and Apple

  • Nokia photos configure paths

    I migrate from lifeblog to nokia photos recently.
    First impressions are good no matters some minors trouble I had.
    Now I wants to manage confuguration tu use it in a little bit specific way.
    What I need to know is:
    Where nokia photos stores sms/mms/notes ?
    Where nokia photos stores information about paths to the folders (pictures/clips)
    I thought this infos are in NokiaPhotos/...*.db3 files but seems to me that I'm wrong about it.
    I want to use Nokia photos on two computers in following scenario:
    I have on both computers network drive mapped as l: in which I have l:\photos and l:\clips and I manage to setup one computer tha t use those foledrs for nokia photos and imported/linked data in it in nokia photos.
    Now I tried on other computer just to copy db3 files and when I open nokia photos to have same data (images/clips/sms...) as on first computer.
    But this is not the case.
    I see same situations on second computer that I had before I copied db3 files so that confused me a little bit.
    Idealy I would want to have all private data on that l: drive and use it form nokia photos on 2 computers (not at the same time off course)
    What can i do about that?
    Change some config files? registry keys? Anything please ?

    Thank you for your reply cricfancy
    I know about File -> Tools -> Settings -> Synchronisation -> Location for images
    But this is to set default folders when synhronizing.
    What I needed is where photes stored data for pictures that are already imported in nokia photos (which can be anywhere on the disk...)
    I think that I m sure now that this infos is in NokiaPhotos/.../MDataStore.db3
    and Nokia Data Store/.../MDataStore.db3 files
    When I copied those two folders to notebook and map l: disk to same folder with pictures and videos (sms, notes etc.. are in those MDataStore.db3 files for what I know)
    This "sync only once" thing is good to know anyway but if I would have a way to put Nokia Data Store and NokiaPhotos folders to that L drive and tell NokiaPhotos on both computers "This is where your mdb3 files are!" that would be great.
    I didnt need to sync more then once. When I sync from one computer that will apear on the other computer as well. As long as they have access to L drive ofcourse.
    All I have to do is to make sure not too run nokia photos on both computers at the same time.
    Unfortunately I dont see how to do that.
    Ok this is not in the interface and I respect that decision because this isn't thing that most users will do so why confused them...
    But this isnt in the registry or config files either so those users who need to change that and are let say litle advanced or enthusiastic cant change that either.
    As far I see those paths are hardcoded in dll files so this isn't easy or legal to change those paths
    Any solution that I had so far to use some sync. program to sync those folders between computers.
    If someone have solution for this please let me know.
    If you can put those settings to the next version of Nokia Photos will be great too.

    hey everyone,
    i installed nokia photos and whenever i connect my phone to the computer while nokia photos is running, i get a bar on the bottom left that says updating nokia device view. this bar never fills up, and if i close it and try to synchronize, i get synchronization cancelled. someone please help.

  • Nokia photos: synchronization cancelled

    After update the new 30.019 firmware in my N85, I'm not able to synchronize the phone with Nokia Photos.
    The message, when trying to sync, is: "Synchronization cancelled" without error's detail.
    If I try to open "Settings" from Nokia Photos, I get an "Updating nokia device view" on the bottom and then the program freeze (must kill the process with task manager).
    I use Nokia Photos from 2004 (when it was LifeBlog with license ID), and it's important for me to have all pics/movies/sms stored in my pc.
    I saw few topic about this argument (with different phones), but no one reply to solve it.
    Any suggestion?

    Factory settings reset. In standby, dial *#7780# and the phone's security code (the nokia's default security code is 12345). This reset restores phone's original settings.
    Soft reset. In standby dial *#7370# and the phone's security code. Soft reset deletes ALL your phone's data.
    Hard reset (the three key code/reset). Turn off the phone. Press and hold three keys together, the green/talk key, the * key and the number '3'.Then, turn on the phone and don't let the three keys before you see the nokia hands logo/nokia boot up screen.
    For 5800 XM hard reset need different keys/buttons. The green/talk key, the red key and the camera key/button. The process is the same.Warning!Hard reset deletes ALL your phone's data/files!
    And, for N97 go to /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=158831&query.id=591236#M158831

  • "Nokia Photos" sync menu is disabled

    Hi,
    The syncronise menu (and the associated menu in tools) are disabled in my nokia photos. Any ideas why or how can I download my photos and sms into Photos application?
    PC Suite and rest of the pc applications are working properly using both bluetooth and cable connection.
    Software used:
    Nokia Photos: 1.2.50
    PC Suite: 7.0.7.0
    O/S: Vista SP1
    Phone: N80 v5.0719.0.2

    Hmm... you are Lifeblog user, then I assume that you know that the phone must be connected by using the "PC Suite"-mode and you should have the Lifeblog sync settings enabled in your phone (which should be the case if you reseted to factory settings). Anyway, I know many users that runs Lifeblog (and Nokia Photos) without problems in vista, so you have still hope.
    How did your Lifeblog got broken? I mean, will it crash or won't it just anymore recognize your phone? Have you tested with Nokia Phone browser (which is integrated into explorer) that you can copy files from/to phone (just to see that the connection is really working)? I would also like to know does your event viewer have any entries which source is Nokia Photos or Nokia M Platform?

  • Nokia Photos questions

    I really am upset about Nokia Photos, the way it was before I decided to update ("Never touch a running system", I have to remember it for good man) everything was exactely as I liked it to be and now I am "using" Nokia Photos and can't deal with it, so:
    What I want is the following: Connect my phone to the PC, do as little clicks as possible to sync my taken photos from the mobile to the PC in a structure like somedir/YYYYMMDD/12345678.jpg, have the program/mobile automatically delete my images on the device and be done.
    This worked like a charm before, I could tell the previous PC Suite (or whatever specific part was responsible for it) to start copying the images from my device once I plugged in the phone, store them as specified above in dirs with year, month AND day and have the removed from the device.
    And then I decided it would be a good idea to update and now I have to use some useless Lifeblog thing (I have no clue what it exactely is for, I just know I hate to be forced using features I don't care about) which is unable to delete the photos on my device and best of all, it comes with about 3 settings total, none of them being "Delete photos after syncing" or something equal, no options for a path, no options for how I'd like the dir to be named, nada.
    So: How to avoid using Lifeblog (block would be more precise here, prevents me from going on with my life for just enough minutes to hate it) or at least make using it more bearable by making it behave how I want?

    Hi,
    Which handset are you using? If you dont want to sync lifeblog, you can do so from the device itself. May be once, your phone is known, forum can check further about your post.

  • E71 Nokia Email client not registering other accou...

    I am using nokia E71. i ran the email setup wizard, using nokia email client i have configured it for my hotmail accounty. and then from some reason i have removed it. now when i am setting up the same email id using the nokia email client its always saying " that email is already registered with another nokia messaging account". and when i goto the email.nokia.com and try login using the same email id/pwd it says id/pwd do not match neither it let me go for the option of forgot pwd, there it says that "we cant send you the temp pwd, try again later". i have been to many forums and seems like this probleme is quite common. any help would be highly appriciateable. thanks.

    I had the same frustratingly slow performance issues rendering the phone almost un-usable other than voice calls. Every thing that required to go to menu and load something was just **bleep** slow.
    I however resolved all issues by changing the messaging settings to use memory card for emails instead of phone memory.
    Do the following and instantly your phone will come alive again.
    Menu - Communications - Messaging - Mail for Exchange - Settings - Other - Memory in Use - Memory Card
    Do the same for other mail accounts.
    MAGIC !!!

  • My Nokia 6681 is not supporting for PC Suite SMS/M...

    How can I access my "Nokia 6681" PC Suite support for SMS / MMS. Totally dissapoint in this regards. Please help. Raaj. Bangalore.

    After researching this phone on the website, discussions with customer service, a call to the flagship store, and even trying a bootleg (LG) micro cable with no success, I relented and went to the flagship store in NYC to purchase the $30.00 CA-101.  Fortunately the sales assoc. attempted to connect a cable to my phone to confirm that it would work. It did not. Ironically, the results were similar to the results I got with the LG cable, it would charge but it wouldn't communicate.
    Fit to be tied, I called the Nokia support line from the store.  After at least 30 minutes I was told that the PC Suite version available on the Nokia website is not compatible with the 1606 and that a version that is compatible is forthcoming but they don't yet have a release date.
    I'm still in shock in that page 18 of the user guide that (a) comes with the phone and (b) is also on the Nokia website, specifically says that "You can transfer data between your device and a compatible PC by using a CA-101 USB data cable."
    It couldn't be any clearer.
    How does Nokia reconcile sending the phone to market if one of the "Main features" isn't available?
