HOWTO: Sync Nokia E-series Phone with Evolution via Bluetooth

[qrazi]

I have run through the setup. now i get the following error when i try to sync:

Error while synchronizing: Invalid answer from plugin process

I have a Nokia 3230 phone, which is a symbian S60 V2 phone.

are you (or anyone else) getting this to work for calendar as well?

Calendar sync also works with the N80 - replace:

<calendar_db></calendar_db>

with:

<calendar_db>Calendar</calendar_db>

and see how you get on. I had a few entries come through at the wrong time, but everything mostly worked.

What version of software you got in your phone (type *#0000# in phone)?

I'm not able to sync my E50 calendar though.

There is a libopensync-plugin-kdepim in the repo, but haven't used it. Try and see what happens =)

I used multisync-qad to set the plugins up using your settings

I propably try to update my phone to see if it fixes problems with calendar. I'm running july 2006 software and there is at least one newer software revision.

Thanks for the tip about multisync-qad. It seems to do the same tricks as commandline.

Nailor,

Thanks, I'm having the same problem and am not able to update my phone firmware, Vodafone in UK is way behind. Could you tell me how you updated? Did you debrand your phone.

Thanks

I use the tool provided by Nokia (http://europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate) but I'm not sure is it at all possible for you to use it. The difference is, that I got a normal phone with unlocked sim, e.g. it's not bound to any operator here in Finland. Vodaphone uses specially tailored software for the phone in which case the software update may render the phone unusable.

Have you asked your nearest retailer/service point about the software update? At least here they do it free if you want.
