Syncing Nokia E61 with Kontact

Posted by on Freitag, der 19. Januar 2007

Wenn jemand eine deutsche Übersetzung braucht, einfach Bescheid sagen.

I read a guide how to syncronize a Nokia 6630 over bluetooth with opensync and syncml. I tried to do the first pair “filenokia” at first. Othe than that guide states you have to change a bit more while doing

$ msynctool --configure filenokia 2

all the bold things I had to change

<bluetooth_address>XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX</bluetooth_address>
<bluetooth_channel>YY</bluetooth_channel>
<identifier>PC Suite</identifier>
<version>1</version>
<wbxml>1</wbxml>
<username></username>
<password></password>
<type>2</type>
<usestringtable>1</usestringtable>
<onlyreplace>0</onlyreplace>
<recvLimit>10000</recvLimit>
<maxObjSize>0</maxObjSize>
<contact_db>Contacts</contact_db>
<calendar_db>Calendar</calendar_db>
<note_db>Notepad</note_db>
</config>

After that the sync with filenokia works better than expected. Now for the harder part – sync with kdepim.

Its like the described setup for evolution, but instead of adding the evo2-sync plugin we do

$ msynctool --addgroup kdepimnokia
$ msynctool --addmember kdepimnokia kdepim-sync
$ msynctool --addmember kdepimnokia syncml-obex-client

The kdepim-sync doesn’t need any configuration. So we can skip that part. The final test

$ msynctool --sync kdepimnokia

works until it wants to write back to the phone. Unluckily there are some error messages, which I couldn’t solve yet. But at least its a good start…

    Hello!

    Any luck with the E61 yet? I copied your settings – but it does not work for me either. You know http://www.nabble.com/Nokia-E61-error-on-syncing—”Contact-X-from-X”-freezes-t3080899.html ?

    Yeah, after a few newer packages from http://www.in.fh-merseburg.de/~jahn/opensync-0.21/ it works now surprisingly well.

    And no – I don’t know this error

    Correction, at least the contact sync back to phone breaks with some 415 and 500 errors. Don’t know why.

    Hi,

    I have tried as well, but my Phone always gives me a “Systemfehler” during sync. Any hints?

  5. Frank

    No, actually I didn’t sync for a while and tried again a few minutes ago.

    Great thing: Kontact gets all information from the E61 and it looks rather good.
    Bad thing: E61 now has calendar entries and TODOs duplicated, sometimes even 3 entries for just one appointment. :(
