Re: Problem with Ovi Sync

I can't update either.  i even thought it was settings on my phone, so i formatted the thing but it still dosn't work.

 

Can anybody at Nokia provide a Ovi Sync server status update?

Re: Problem with Ovi Sync

Seems this problem is widespread. There's another thread started about this. Same problem with my C7.

Re: Problem with Ovi Sync

Same message here...  Can we download our contact as CSV files (as with Outlook) or Vcards (Apple Adress Book) from Ovi Contacts Site?

Re: Problem with Ovi Sync

Well, as ovi sync did not work, i could restore my contacts from ovi doing this:

 

1 - Acess Ovi Contacts web interface:

https://contactsui.ovi.com/contacts

Of course, you have to login with you ovi account

 

 

2 - Go to Manage Device > Restore Device

I translated this path from portuguese, so, i am not sure if this is exactly the english terms

 

 

3 - Conect the phone to PC with Ovi Suite

 

 

4 - Go to Tools > Restore

 

 

5 - Done!

Re: Problem with Ovi Sync

What's wrong with you nokia guys? Are you going to do something? I month ago i don't have service, same message " Service activation failed. Try again later". Come on, do something your devices are not so cheap and we pay for a good service please do whatever you gotta do.

Re: Problem with Ovi Sync

This is really annoying, there is no answer from Nokia support, I think we have to wait another month.

Re: Problem with Ovi Sync

Same problem here on a brand new (just got it 3 days ago) Nokia C6-01, USA version, stock firmware (which means it hasn't been upgraded to ANNA yet). Keep getting the "Service activation failed. Try again later." message too. But everything else Ovi on my phone works fine.

Re: Problem with Ovi Sync

Since this thread is one month old without any solution, I would like to know officially from Nokia if this service (Ovi Sync) has been discontinued or when it is going to be resumed.

 

We (owners of Nokia mobiles) would appreciate if that was informed to us prior to the ceasing of the service :smileywink:.  In my own case, I would have relied on something else as backup before resetting my E72-2.

Re: Problem with Ovi Sync

It seems to me that there is still someone working Nokia and reading to these posts.

Please see the thread "Plz help to restore contacts from ovi sync to my Nokia E72."

Let´s see if the mistery of Ovi Sync is now solved.
