Suyog, thanks for your exploration!
Ovi now adds manual configuration which as you have pointed out in the previous
thread. With this information I have done a successful sync with
ovi via syncevolution (Contact only, but really worked nicely).
See my comments below:
Hi,
More update, I used the password which I got from going to manual mode in SyncEvolution
and tried Sync.
I used all settings options as show below with my username and above password.
I had deleted all contacts/calender/tasks from my Evolution in Ubuntu 9.04
Also in sync I opted for option delete all local data and replace with remote, so that it
will pull from
OVI.com
Sync took long time and finally gave error "Sync Failed Transport Failure(no
connection?).
The only issue I found was the certificate is not trusted, you can
ignore this
error in the configuration file (not sure if there is an option in the gui), see my
config:
syncURL =
username = congwu
password = -
loglevel = 6
clientAuthType = md5
deviceId = sc-api-nat
SSLVerifyServer = 0
SSLVerifyHost = 0
In $HOME/.config/syncevolution/ovi/config.ini: you can set the log level,
loglevel > 5 if you want more detailed information.
The log is located at: $HOME/.cache/syncevolution/
Also consider moving my emails to Bug tracking,so that we can keep
record of things.

Hi,
Today I played around sync settings on my mobile and found out 1 thing. My previous
understanding that "Manual settings don't work" is not entirely correct. I
found out from OVI.com->Login->Add device
You have to specify your Nokia Phone Model and then enter your mobile number.
After this
OVI.com will send you config settings , you will need PIN to open config
setting, this PIN is provided on web interface.
But I found that they have mentioned , if you dont get config settings due to some
reasons, you can create settings manually. I tried that option and found that the Password
which was mentioned there for Sync setting is different from actual OVI password. This
password looks like auto generated and different every time you add device.
If you remove device and try to add it again with same number/model, password changes.
This is the reason why Sync doesn't work in SyncEvolution. I am going to try using
this password in SyncEvolution. All other settings are same as you have also mentioned in
Bug 3182.
See the following which I have copied from Add Device procedure on
OVI.com, I have masked
my password.
Now we should ask Nokia why they are using different password for Sync? Do they want to
restrict usage of Sync by other devices than Nokia? or any other software/services?
You can make the necessary synchronization settings for your device manually by following
the instructions below:
1. Go to Sync menu on your device Usually the Sync menu is found from Menu grid/Tools
or under Menu grid/Settings depending on your device.
2. Select and open "Sync" icon from the grid Press Options an select
"New sync profile" from the opened view. DO NOT copy values from other profile.
3. Name the new profile or use the default name Select and open "Sync profile
name" list item. Write the name to the opened text input field.
4. Select and open "Applications" list item Open each desired application
from the list in turn.From the opened submenu, switch "Yes", if you want to
synchronize the opened application. Set(write) the Remote Database as listed below for
each application:
for Contacts: ./Contact/Unfiled
for Calendar: ./EventTask/Tasks
for Notes: ./Note/Unfiled
Set "Synchronization type" for each desired application to be
"normal" or "both ways" (depending on the device).
5. Select and open "Connections settings" from the Sync profile list Set or
write (depending on the setting) the following values:
Server version: Leave the default value
Server ID: Leave the default name
Data Bearer: Internet
Access point: Chose the internet access point
Host address:
https://sync.ovi.com/services/syncml
Port: 443
User name: suyog
Password: ******************
Allow sync requests: Leave the default value
Accept all sync reqs.: Leave the default value
Network authentication: This setting depends on the details of your data connectivity
service. If you select "Yes", you have to fill also your Nokia account username
and password
You have now done your sync settings for your device. To synchronize your device go back
to the sync instructions screen by pressing the button below.

Suyog
