Hi, great blog BTW.
I do not know we could use this in Argentina, as we cannot receive sms from abroad for free.

Remote database : ./Contact/Unfiled

Synchronisation type: Both ways



Calender :

hey!

you have the stuff for contacts/calendar/notes but what about text messages? do you know the 'remote database' for that?

thank you! :)

Sendar · 1 year ago

Thanks, I have the same problem I didn't receive an sms.


I tried the settings, but it says wrong hostadress :(



Other solutions?

Cj · 1 year ago

Darn. Thats about it I guess. I'll mess around and see if I can find any other method :)

You make a mistake on the host,


it reads "http://sync.ovi.com/services/syncml",

but it sould be



"https://sync.ovi.com/services/syncml"



But now I'm getting "username or password not valid" :( buaaa!

Whoops ! Thanks for clearing that up !

alex · 1 year ago

Yup my user name and password are coming as invalid too, why?!

zobot · 1 year ago

Cj . did you receive a certificate?


Thanks for the info.

Cj · 1 year ago

@ Alex : Hey there ! I really have no idea why they would come up as Invalid. The settings are exactly what they are in my phone :( .


@Zobot : I just received an sms actually. When you open it up and enter in the PIN code, it saves the settings automatically and thats it.

DREMA · 1 year ago

How does the user and pass appear in your settings?


User: oviuser

Password: ovipass



Or something like,



User: oviuser@ovi.com

Password: ovipass



Any other setting that we could be missing?

Cj · 1 year ago

It appears as "yourusername" (or "oviuser"). No @ovi.com at all.


I've gone over all the settings and its exactly the same as i posted in the comments section (with the exception of what you corrected).



Could you try changing the server version to 1.2 and trying it ? Its 1.1 in my phone but thats the only thing I can think of lol.

Danisan · 1 year ago

I am from Argentina. The problem is that Claro, doesn´t have an agreement with UK to receive SMS from there, as they told me during concurrent claims I've made. Not just Ovi, but is impossible to use SMSs with Twitter, With Facebook, etc. And there is no option from this Company; they can´t give a solution to the SMS stuff, even paying for it.


Perhaps the PIN entering procedure involves something else, (like validating the user at the sync server).



I don´t understand why Nokia, or Ovi, or whatever, make this service so SMS dependent, and don´t provide an alternative, to configure it!!!



Additionally can´t understand WTF should I do with Ovi PC Sync, and PC Suite together installed in my PC !!! (should they stay both?, should I uninstall PC Suite??????) Why don´t they upgrade PC Suite, to add the new services, instead of issuing a product named different ????? This is very confusing, and very incomplete; I think that it should be clear for us, and I´m not a normal end user; I work in IT. What about a "normal" user?





And Claro: They ´ve got users everyplace in Latin America and are trying to posision themselves as a high tech mobile network company, adding the newest terminals, and can´t give solution to this issue.

DREMA · 1 year ago

I understand that the PIN code is only the password to open the sms, but maybe is something else.


I had tried server 1.2 and other settings I found on ther websites, but I still have the invalid user and password.



Too bad.

Ahmad Humeid · 1 year ago

I entered the info exactly as provided into the Sync tool and also got the invalid username and password problem.


Has anyone had success with this?

Cj · 1 year ago

Hey Ahmad, sorry for the late reply. Apparently some people are having troubles, such as it not working, when manually entering in the info. You're best bet would be to email the Ovi team from the website.
Sorry I couldnt have been of more help !

Arne · 10 months ago

The problem is that the password for syncml is not your ovi.com password! This is something else and you don´t get information about it. That is too bad cause you can´t sync your mobile with thunderbird etc.

Jim · 10 months ago

I am always getting an 'invalid host address' message. What am I doing wrong? I have a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Clinton Jeff · 10 months ago

Hey there Jim. According to Ovi.com, the 5800 is not yet supported. That might be the problem, although you can try emailing them for more support.
