I've been putting this post off for quite a while in hopes that something would change. It hasn't. Nokia rocks at mobiles. I believe that to the depths of my heart and it's been drilled home with device after device that I discover I couldn't live without. But they suck at desktop applications.
I've always sync'd my phones with my PC with PC Suite. From my 6620 through every other Nokia I buy. I won't use it if I can't sync it. Period. Thus. I'm always using Nokia's desktop applications. Nokia Software Updater. I've run them all. With the new they've actually brought all these applications in under the PC Suite umbrella which in my opinion is brilliant. Makes it super-easy.
I don't undergo a slow computer. It's an Intel Centrino Duo 1.8Ghz with1GB of RAM. Nokia's apps carry it to a screeching halt. I can't standslow computers.
The problem seems to be stability. Personally. I've never really had anissue with PC Suite. However. I've heard NUMEROUS populate on forums andover IM say that they despise PC Suite that it crashes on themconstantly or they can't get it to cerebrate. I know that when I connectmy telecommunicate via the USB cable it can take up to 5 minutes for PC Suite torealize it's a phone and get to work.
The more recent applications such as Nseries PC Suite. Nokia MusicManager. Nokia Video bear on and the like are very prettyapplications. That prettiness though comes at the price of usability. It should not act 5 minutes on this computer for these applications toopen. End of story.
I don't experience exactly how to fix it either. Normally. I don't desire torant without offering at least one solution. So here it is: Nokia gobuy a few computers. Old computers. We're talking Pentium 3-4 machineswith 512MB of RAM. create by mental act your apps to run quickly on there. I promiseyou it'll be a good decision. If you can create by mental act an application thatruns quickly and with stability on a Pentium 4 then it should bedisgusting-fast and stable on a dual-core or quad-core computer.
Wow the timing of your post was impeccable. I've been trying to lay this new suite and was having nothing but problems. I hit up HoFo to mouth a bit then I came here to see if you'd had any comments on it. Nothing up but I had a few stories to surprise up go back to the main page here this is.
I desire they'd just give me some sort of phone management software for linux that way I don't undergo to fire up Vista anymore. I know thats a pipedream for now but hey. Nokia we experience you construe this there are some of us who would desire that alot. =)
I evaluate this is the same air with Motorola. The fact is that they don't "actually" write the sync programs they hire other companies to write it for them. Most of these software are written by 3rd rate programmers using Visual Studio. NET. Which explains the memory hog very well also most of these programmers don't change surface undergo degrees in comp sci or related discipline.
This is where Apple kicks butt with their iTunes syncing ability. "It just works!"arouse.. it's also doesn't cost $35... ;(
First off is that it has even less support for my N91 than 6.84 has. My N91 is only just over a year old and be me £500 yet Nokia seems to have completely forgotten that they made this phone. The new Music Store feature...? Hello... N91 here music phone??? The application installer in 6.84 has trouble telling the telecommunicate memory and HDD apart and so all apps just get sent to the phone and I have to select where I be to install to from there. But the Nseries PC suite App installer doesn't change surface recognise my N91 despite being connected. Nokia Photos app.. crashes at go away up with some "could not act window" error.
A few other hiccups too but the biggest annoyance to me is that Nokia seem to have completely missed a cozen. Why-oh-why do they not undergo IP connectivity? Almost all E and N series phones are wifi phones and I have a ton of 3rd celebrate apps that happily use the wifi so why can't PC suite use it? I would like nothing more than to impel my bluetooth dongle in the bin and chuck my cable into the bottom of my bag-of-cables-I-will-never-need-again. And just how useful would PCSync be if it accepted IP connections? I could remote backup and sync all my PIM data from anywhere in the world with IP connectivity.
And yes I know there are online SyncML server/apps but I don't want to move even more of my most personal data all over the web. I be my data on my machines controlled by me. I can believe me with my personal data but I've no such believe in all these 'reputable' companies with their pro forma write & attach privacy statements.
Great affix! So the other day I was downloading a 20 meg map file using MapLoader. First it shouldn't take half an hour to download a file desire that (Nokia do a broach with Google or Amazon and get out of the file function business please!). Second the "remaining transfer measure" eventually hit 0 then continued into contradict numbers showing me I had -32 seconds to wait for my transfer to finish. Have you ever seen a develop.
