Nokia :: Ovi Suite Is About As Stable As Charles Manson
Apr 21, 2010
I have been following the threads here and I am going to have to agree with what many are saying re: Ovi Suite.My overall "Nokia Experience" has severely dimished, due to the fact I have to use the Ovi Suite with my N97 Mini - I can't use PC Suite as, from what I can tell the N97 Mini is not compatible. The extra steps I need to take to get a simple sync done is a nightmare and my PC at work is considerably less stable than what it is without Ovi installed.I'm not sure what the driver was to get Nokia to change tact on it's PC syncing software, but Ovi is a nightmare.Anyway, I thought I would share my three tips with you to try and make youre life as stress free as possible, even though you are forced to use Ovi as part of your day.For the record I am using a Windows XP laptop on SP3 and as already mentioned, my phone is a Nokia N97 Mini, connected via USB. The version of Ovi on my PC is v2.1.1.1

Very often, when connecting the phone to usb, there is no reaction. Even the charging-led is not switched on.Reboot of phone sometimes, but not always work.Best way forward is to switch off the phone when connected, then the charging starts, and then restarting the phone very often lead to a connection at the end.
So is there a known bug or issue with the phone? Or does anybody know what to look at to solve that problem?

I used the Ovi suite to install the free maps on my E72 which work great but the software itself is very poorly written, too many bugs and problems so i would like to uninstall it and use the PC suite instead. can I now update my phone using the PC suite with it's updater software or do I have to now rely on the Ovi suite.
The reason I ask instead of having two pieces of software is i want to a Vista/XP (two machines) clean install followed by a Ghost DVD so the smaller image the better (plus i dont like to have **bleep** installed on my machine:-)

How can I make my nokia E71 sync back with PC Suite after I started using OVI Suite? I have a Nokia E71, and i was using Nokia PC Suite to sync it with my outlook 2007 it all worked fine, contacts, to do notes and calendar (i wasn't syncing mail cuase i use gmail), untill the new ovi suite came out and i decided to try it since It sounded better.turns out It really sucked this ovi suite!! one of the worst softwares I've ever used, it duplicated all of the appointments that had color categories in outlook 2007, it is dead slow to sync!!!(i mean reeeaaly slow), even tough the Suite integrates more stuff in to one place it has reduced funcionality to sync stuff with my phone, it offers less funtions, not to mention that the user interface sukcs (its poorly desingned, it takes long to accses stuff, it shows me stuff as if it was advertisement).PC suite was very simple but funcional, oviously i went back to pc suite, to my surprise i couldn't sync, pc suite & the phone would do as if they were syncing, but when i checked at the end it wouldn't sync stuff.

I got this phone 3 months ago, and it paired with PC Suite perfectly, till few days ago, when i lost connection with it, and now PC Suite and OVI Suite can't find my phone. I checked bluetooth device that im using, and made sure that phone bluetooth is on. In Attachment is shown how PC Suite and Bluetooth react when i try to reconnect the phone.

Have a N900. Got the phone to work against Smart Suite and later Ovis Suite very well for the first 3 weeks. Then the trouble started. I used it both with USB cable and BTooth. First my synchronization with Lotus Notes calendar stopped (have to go by the PC), then contacts and messages. And today it does not even recognize the phone as a compatible phone. In the whole period I have been installing all kind of applications. My suspicion is that the trouble is due to an installation of a particular application - my question is:Anyone that got an idea what might have caused this?? Hope for help without re-intsalling the machine.

My HTC one S have a problem of holding the 3G connection stable.
When It finds, and connects to 3G, as it usually does, the internet connection is fast the first 3 minutes, then the internet hangs until I reset the "3G" connection.
The problem only goes away if I switch to 2G, wait a bit, then toggle to 3G again, then it works for another 3 minutes for fast internet, and bam. hangs again. its not "sometimes".. its ALWAYS.. from the first day I got the phone.
If I force it to keep 2G, its super stable. I just miss the much MUCH faster 3G (when it works), but I wont use it until the problem with hanging is fixed.
I think it IS something with my phone (HTC one S) because my sister has same tele operator but with Nokia Lumia 800, and her phone works stable on 3G/4G in the same area as me. (I tried any area.. same problem everywhere I go)
I found some threads on internet, telling its a HTC problem with (3G/4G) switching? . maybe.. I cant force it to use 3G vs 4G ofcause. its a super phone besides this 3G (or 4G, switching) problem.

I didn't think I would ever try this, but I am getting tired of the browser click problem and my battery life does decrease faster. So what is the most stable OS for the Tour? .484, 419? And where do I find them to download them. I have already read up on how to change the OS in the crackberry tips forum.

I am planning on JailBreaking my 3GS before I sell it, and I am wondering how stable the JB is for the current 3.1.3 for my 3GS, also how stable is the JB for iOS4 because I seem to be reading about a lot of ppl having issues with Cydia and JB with Spirit? Is there even a JB for iOS4? and will the new i4 have one soon after it's release?

I've a Blackberry Bold 9780 under 3 Italy carrier. 1 month ago I started experiencing troubles with BB server (during a trip to London and US and when back home to Italy the hell started), BB icon dont show when 3G,it comes and go, no stable. When WiFi it's normal. 3 Italy after 1 month of controls,calls and advices (after a master reset and several technical tries they said they have performed) say it's a RIM trouble and not their fault. Version is 6.0 bundle 2949. I live in Milano area.

I'm looking for a new phone (CDMA) and am considering the Samsung Freeform (R350) and the Samsung Caliber (R850). The Caliber will cost me about 3x as much as the Freeform. I don't really need a smartphone.For those who own a Freeform, how stable is it? Does it crash or fail to receive calls/texts? Does it do screwy things?

This is yet another problem with my phone after i upgraded to Froyo. With Eclair, when i unlock my screen, the soft key (menu, home, return, search) backlight turns on and stay lit until the screen goes blank. Now once i unlock the screen, the soft keys backlight turns on and within few secs, it turns off, though i still work on the phone. its just like flickering in small intervals.

I just got the Acclaim and there's a few questions I have. Is there a not a "device LED" on this phone? How do I get to my files on the device through my computer? Is there a stable version of Froyo that will work on it? I think that's about it right now.

i has update my xmp twice, in first attempt got random reboot while use intrnet browser and my phone reboot automatically. 1st attempt i use SEUS but i take the recommended update not the reset factory date+update. and i also notice fb app eat lot of ram event when mobile date or WiFi is OFF and i think this is the reason why my phone reboot itself because the system has insufficient amount of ram. 2nd attempt in upgrading to ics, i use seus bt i choose reset factory data+update. after first boot, i decided to disable fb apps and all the unused apps in my phone for notification led, the bug is there for example when charging the led stay on red even there is new msg or missed call. Camera also produce lot of noise dispite the size of the picture is increase(this is well known issues) and the worst part is, no on screen notification when new sms or missed call like GB 2.3.4.. sony only put signed of new sms or missed call at top of the screen(on the left) that make me difficult to see.. 1 question to Johan, i believe you are the customer service or moderator in this forum , this ics version 4.1.B.0.431 is the beta version for us? if yes, will SMC give an update with the stable version like GB? But please give us 4.1 update, we are the user and we deserve it!

my ATRIX 4G toggles from UMTS to HSPA and back all the time. i see that on the mobile network type under settings--> about phone--> status.
After each of these toggles the mobile network state (same status menu) is connecting (and then connected until next toggle)
i suspect this phenomena to be the reason that my internet connection is unstable (disconnected very often). I'm using original ROM w. MotoBlur of course. any way i could just disable the HSPA and check if the UMTS is enought ?

I bought my brand new Motorola Atrix 2, a week back in India and am facing a peculiar problem with the phone. I am on Vodafone network and have a 3G plan with them, but my phone does not connect to the 3G network at all.
After reading several posts in the forum, I found out that it was a software problem with the phone and I had to install a 3rd party software from the Google Play site called "Network" to solve the problem.I also upgraded my software to ICS and that happened smoothly but my wifi is also not stable and keeps disconnecting every 3 to 4 minutes? Is there anyone who can help me with this as well.

When I rotate my phone, it takes 1-2 seconds for screen to rotate. The os is android 4. When I am using phone in a wifi area, the wifi icon in the phone screen shows that the wifi connection is not stable, and periodically moves from low to high. Note that the wifi source is near me. Is this a phone problem and minus for Xperia ray and Sony?

Yesterday I wanted to update my Nokia E63, I saw there was 2 ways of Updating, 1. Over The Air, but there was no clear definition on how to do that, So I want to the other option, Nokia Ovi PC Suite. The download kept failing but it kept resuming when I tried to download the update again. After the download finished Usually you do not need the internet to install something that you already downloaded (Should Always Be Like That!!) So I thought that and while the update was installing Nokia Ovi PC Suite said something about Cannot Connect To Service, Although My Internet was PERFECT! and I tried to turn on my E63 and it would just vibrate and then turn off. I tried reviving it by leaving the battery out for 5 mins ( I also left it out for 6 hours) And when you turn it on Hold the Green Button Call And the 3 and the *. But none of that works, I wanted to send my phone to Nokia Care through Post But you need the IMEI but How can I do that?

I used the Nokia (N95_1) four years ago as a phone, so I cannot remember where I stored the itty bitty Rogers SIM card or if I threw it away. Now I have this problem with the Nokia Suite not upgrading firmware without the sim card.I use nokia now mostly as a GPS and a Wi-fi net browsing device, so I would like to get the new map version since the current one (v3.01 09wk44 b01) keeps crashing when synchronizing favs. I downloaded the .sis file from softpedia (v3.03 10wk11 b04) but get certificate errors when trying to install it. Does anybody know where can I get a signed map, latest version for nokia n95, with a fix for the sync crash? (It does get sync'ed but closes every time)
