How can I sync Google Calendar with my E75?

richmix · 30-Sep-2009

This is driving me insane. I've searched and searched and searched the web for a way to sync my E75 unlocked phone with Google Calendar. 90% of the threads and comments Google digs up simply say, "It doesn't work." Some people seem to have manged to get it to work with some very minor variations on the following directions:

1. On the E75, press the Menu key.
2. Select Email.

3. Remove the Mail for Exchange mailbox (if it currently exists).
4. Select New from the home screen of the Email application.

5. Press Start.
6. Enter a fictitious email addres that you know does not exist.
7. Press OK.
8. Enter a fictitious password for the fictitious email address.
9. Press OK.
10. Select Mail for Exchange.
11. Type in your Gmail username/email address.
12. Press OK.
13. Leave the Domain blank.
14. Press OK.
15. Type: m.google.com
16. Press OK twice.
17. Type in your Gmail password.
18. Press Log in.
19. Go to the home screen of the Email application.
20. Select Settings.
21. Select Personal information management.
22. Select Applications.
23. Select Calendar.
24. Select Calendar sync (this will enable calendar).
25. Go to the home screen of the Email application.
26. Select Settings.
27. Select Mail for Exchange.
28. Select What to sync.
29. Select Sync email (this will disable email).
30. Select Back three times.
31. Press Options.
32. Select Synchronize.

My problem is that my E75 Mail app doesn't have the Mail for Exchange option described in step 10. The rest of the procedure just goes down the tube at that point. After a great deal of research, I'm left with the impression that either something is wrong with my phone or these directions are out of date. Has anyone had recent experience configuring the E75 to work with Google Calendar either through MfE or through another (free) app?

I don't have an E75, got an N97. I went down this route of syncing the phone with Google Calendar, which then also in turn sync's with my Macbook Pro.

You will need to download the MfE application first. With my N97, there is an icon in Apps folder, but the application itself still needs to be downloaded.

I did have to try it several times for it to work, but it is now working pretty effortlessly. I followed the instructions in Google Sync, which gives you the settings you need to the MfE profile.

I have the same problem. Will keep on looking for solutions.

There's a Google Calendar Sync tool which will sync google calendar withOutlook. You can then sync Outlook with the phone via PC Suite.

What's the law of the jungle?

Hello all,

Nokia does not currently support third party solutions utilizing the ActiveSync protocol / MfE to connect to servers other than real MS Exchange servers. We are evaluating future support options as part of our normal work.

Thank you,

Well you know what? A BIG ***BLEEP*** YOU NOKIA!

All you ever do as a company is 'evaluate options'. Even for a FIVE HUNDRED dollar phone.

Problems with this piece of shiat (that have not been rectified in S60 since a year now):

Another classic fail on Nokia's part!

Nokia announced closure dates for Mosh and Widsets through e-mails and news releases along with the eventual replacement of these services by the new Ovi Store.

Point is, where is the REAL replacement for Widsets? A very successful application that some ahsswhole on the top thought would be replaced by WRTs but it's been 3 months since Ovi Store launched and it's still a disaster.

Nokia, you are really trying hard to ***BLEEP*** me off:

Customers are screaming what they want to see in the phones - but the honchos are too busy squandering their riches from the past (Programs which work in Silos like Nokia contacts, IM Messaging, Friendview, etc).

Specific rants:

1. Ditch the cheap plastic cases - seriously! They are obvious and cheesy - N85 is a big fail because of it.

2. Use capacitive touch - I don't care what the hell your engineers say. Spend one hour with the iPhone and you will see how effortless capacitive is versus resistive. Let's face it Nokia's CEO, Oli-pekka-whatever-the-***BLEEP*** his name is - has no smarts compared to Jobs. And when Jobs picked capacitve - he did it for a very good reason. There are some aspects that are not too hard to figure out.

3. Promote a standardized look and feel for apps through your SDK. Maintain customer expectation/experience and quality across all apps - created by Nokia or by a third-party developer. Does it even occur to you that this is one primary reason the iphone is so popular?

4. E71 - the camera is a joke compared to N73, which is three years older. This is not the precedent you want to set. News to you - technology should move forward - not backwards. The iPhone with a 2MP camera without flash takes phenomenally better pictures in daylight - that even after 3 E71 firmware updates. Get it? Fire the e71 camera division. It's even worse when Nokia does not even accept they -***BLEEP***up. And you wonder why Nokia has no market share in the US (hint the 5800 launch fiasco).

5. Firmware updates across the board!? E61 - just 3 years old - is a business phone. The browser ***BLEEP***. It crashes all the time or runs out of memory. It's an older version. UPDATE it! I paid $450 for that. You can't leave it in the dirt after two years of half-hearted support. Why are your firmware updates 6 months apart? It's unacceptable. The market and internet is evolving too fast for you to sit on your butt; either reduce the number of devices per service line (that's another story) if you can't handle them or hire more/smarter people.

6. EMEA, NAM, etc f/w update versions. Based on the updates you shoot out every 3-6 months, your QA guys are probably smoking crack. Even obvious fails slip through them. I can understand that hardware may differ over region-specific phones but it doesn't warrant 3 month gaps between the region specific updates. Learn from your competitors - because these things will eat you if you don't acknowledge them. The end of your domination is already here - accept it to maintain ground. The 5800/N97/N96/N86's of the world will not save you and based on your price-range for N97, I won't count on that device either (LED instead of Xenon for a $600 phone? Maybe you're giving the wrong kind of ***BLEEP*** to your product gurus - it's turning them into sludge).

7. Widgets. Do you remember; 2 years ago, at an announcement - you mentioned that there will be widgets, which will let users input their flight details and in turn the widget will alert them about flight arrival or departure delays, airport conditions, etc? The services to offer this information are already here - e.g. FlightStats.com. But I don't see the widgets anywhere?! What happened? Good idea/selling point but sounds like someone fell asleep. This should have been one primary focus of multitasking capability in a phone.

8. E-series. Aah... the award-winning phone that no credible reviewer had the balls to take a pock-shot at. Instead, poos-c-arsed reviewers sounded like they were done a favor with a review handset when they justified the poor camera performance, ‘oh, it's a business phone; its primary function is not to take pictures.' If that's the case, then why the hell has it packed a shiity e-mail client for 4 years; even on its newest iteration? Oh, and why does the phone not recognize calendar invites!? Even gmail has worked that -***BLEEP*** out. Inexcusable! Do you guys even test your own devices in a non-Nokia-fanboy environment at all? I didn't think so. BTW, Nokia email is a paid-for-app eventually. It is not a replacement for the inbuilt messaging client. A client and -service are two different entities and should be maintained so if you want people to use your devices anywhere. That new slick updated client should have been a free update for EVERY phone out there. For e.g. your browser is not designed to just work with your servers correct?

9. RAM. Even today, why do your phones have minuscule amounts of RAM - usually just enough to get by - whereas RAM prices have dropped exponentially?

10. Call log - how did you manage to screw this up even more? Call log used to work fine on the E61. But with the FP1 / E71, every incoming call is shown as a ‘cell phone icon' even if the number is associated with a land line. Also, why are you not using different icons for work, home, cell phones? Is that rocket science? BTW, what's QA been up to - at this point you might want to call a narcotics raid on them. Don't get me wrong, you had it working right a few years back. I know you're new to the concept so repeat after me: technology should move forward - not backwards - with time. Also, try to use your own devices once in a while -

11. Call log 2 - Where does all the information related to the call log get hidden? Because when I used synble, I noticed that it was able to extract a hell of a lot more information from the call log than the phone's client. This is just sick. Winmo phones allow you to store THIRTY days worth of information. Not only that, I can go into a contact, and view my call history for that contact including durations for every call as long as it was all within the 30-day limit. Obviously synble has managed to pull a lot of it out from my E71. But shouldn't this have been part of your phone? So tell me, do you use any phones from your competitors at all? It might be wise to make a few purchases; right about now. Plus, if you want to learn from your competitor, you have to use it as your primary phone for 30 days and then go back to a Nokia and see what you can improve. This is the EASIEST way to improve/add features without investing into any 'smart' people for R&D/UI testers and probably should have been your first step.

12. Call log 3 - You know how right after you've called a contact or received a call, you want to try to call that contact again but but maybe at another number from the contact profile? Well guess what - you have to go through the address book to look at the other numbers. Yes, you can't open the contact profile or alternate calling numbers from the call log itself. W-Tea-F? Talk about basic UI workflow/routing design fail. At this point, I'm beginning to think you have someone on the design/QA team with a mild narcolepsy problem.

13. Contacts - Have you ever noticed how ‘easy' it is to ‘delete' a contact but hard to 'undo' edits/deletes? I would think by the 5th iteration of S60 you would have got that down to a pat. I can hit the ‘back' key and get a prompt to hit delete a contact. Nice. But if it's a mistake, then what? I'm outta luck until the next time I sync. Plus, if my phone is set to sync automatically, then I will lose the information from my PC as well, if it comes in range with my computer (I use Bluetooth and autosync) or if I forget about restoring the information before I re-sync. Did it EVER -***BLEEP*** occur to you that if you want to make deletion easy you have to make recovery just as easy, huh? Didn't think so. I am now beginning to think, Nokia folks secretly don't use their own phones.

14. Contacts 2: While we're at it. If you begin to edit a contact and mid-way you decide to ‘cancel' or discard all changes made to the contact (you haven't saved yet). There is no way to do that. Seriously. I am sure many of you have noticed that by now - on FP1 at least - which is not that old and has seen tens of updates. From Nokia's perspective, they probably want to ‘save' all information on-the-fly as a user is typing to prevent accidental loss; which is a good thing. But would it kill ya' to also add a function to ‘discard' all changes and revert back to previously saved version of the contact on the phone. It's not rocket science again. UAT (User Acceptance Testing - probably a new term to you Nokia guys) - That should have caught this. You might want to schedule a deep talk with some of the department head(ache)s.

15. Standard bookmarks in the browser that can't be deleted. You asked for the hacking of your firmware. Because those bookmarks are useless and have never offered anything REMOTELY useful. They should have been removed from the browser by the second iteration 4 years ago. Or you should have built a team to develop content that's not discontenting. Besides, what's wrong with allowing people rearrange those bookmarks? Plus the morons had to go right ahead and build a SEPARATE bookmark item for each factory link instead of putting them all in one folder called ‘Nokia's junk'? You should be ashamed of yourselves. Instead of glorifying what you've accomplished, how about spending some time over the failures? Because it looks like they are being carried over iteration after iteration.

16. Web applications. Why? Why Nokia, why? Why are you trying to get into something you have NO IDEA about. Your failures with device software at the most basic levels has shown how screwed up your R&D, development teams, SDLC and user feedback/market expectation are. Fix those first. Make the best phones, UI and software to support the internet. Don't try to compete with the Apples, Googles, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo in their core competency without getting your game correct first. Your web e-mail service, maps, sync, are a -***BLEEP***joke. Do you honestly think that by limiting Ovi Share Online client to Ovi services will garner you online marketshare? You are NOT a cool company and will never be until you can first connect with your consumers - something you fail at miserably. Which is again witnessed with the skin-peeling god-awefulness that is the MFE client. My suggestions here, is to get a phone out that is open for every service that a consumer wants out there. Make your device the gateway to the internet and the applications. Feed development for your phones. You make some great applications for your phones but you need to be more consistent with better support across ALL devices.

I can go on forever, but I am gonna stop here - cause as usual - you are probably not listening. But for your sake I hope you do!

Times have changed; it's not just about the hardware anymore - but more about the software. Also, if you can't make your software to interact with non-nokia phones over the internet then you're wasting your time (Nokia Friendview, etc). There are many platforms to compute - the internet has always been social and your time as a leader has already been squandered.

When consumers spend $400 every 16 months for the past 6 years and have little to show for it. This is what happens.

I am SICK of the whole Nokia band-of-reviewers -***BLEEP***on NOKIA -***BLEEP***and ignoring the most basic failures for the nth iteration.

E.g. Everyone is 'praising' the Nokia Messaging/Email app (the -***BLEEP***at Nokia couldn't even decide for 6 months whether to call it 'email' or 'messaging' drives the point when each already means something very specific (email vs SMS) while no one is chastising Nokia for the abysmal in-built e-mail client as unacceptable for $300+ phones - which will be the only 'free' alternative in a few months when Nokia Messaging goes paid.

The Nokia 5800 unlocked (US 3G) is going for $299 (224 Euro). How can a $300 phone perform worse than a mid-range phone from 3 years ago!? (N73) for which I paid the same amount?!

I have the right to call out a poorly managed product line especially when they have such haughty claims but little to show for. Nokia stopped innovating a long long time ago. I am only hoping that someone at Nokia pulls their head out of their aases, grows some balls and reads through this entire post.

This vent was written in 10 minutes - so please excuse typos.

Wow! Well said. They should give you a job.

The 5800 is the last nokia phone I'll ever have. I can't believe the basic issues I'm having with it.

Until Nokia can get the basics right on their phone they shouldn't bother developing all Ovi stuff. What's the point of having Ovi when in a few year's time all the users who would use that kind of service have switched to other manafacturers because they're fed up with rubbish Nokia phones.

psheldrake · 11-Oct-2009

dextroz, what can I say about your 10 minute rant.... other than well done.

You might appreciate my thread, although at 4 pages long now you might want to just scan through! Nokia's Jeremiah posted the same "not our problem gov'nor" statement there as on the thread here.

It's a shame. Europe too often plays second fiddle to the US or Asia on info technology, and Nokia held my loyalty for years. But not now, not unless they fix the E75 phone and apologise.

E75_user · 20-Oct-2009

Thanks for the detailed Rant which reflects our views. You could have even better mentioned about E75 (the $500 phone) and all its troubles. Though you have made the points bit too pationately-the issues you raised are very genuine and at the minimum the Nokia consumer support team should respond publicly. This is all about transparency.

I would even suggest that a You Tube video could be made with all the issues you discussed and posted unless we hear a detailed and satisfactory comment from the Nokia team.

mickey23 · 21-Oct-2009

Hi there,

didn't read your complete rant, it's clear you've disappointed by substandard product and/or mismatching expectations, I on the other hand have had a exceptional good experience with my N95. It's reaching old age now, so I can't wait for the N900. However I do see Nokia has a challenge to overcome, well two actually. Yes you're right they're trying too hard to create some Nokia-bounded platforms, instead of facillitating the connectivity between platforms. Recently saw some intresting concepts in the beta apps, but they require a similar nokia app on the other side. Well I'm very sorry Nokia, nowadays I don't even know the number of the person I'll be calling, do you really believe I know (or want you to tell me = $$?) who of my contacts has this app enabled? With some good will and some fantasy I could say it's a part of brandpositioning and solidifing (or some other fancy BS ;-) ). Nokia however also seems to have an issue with postdevelopment integration and streamlining of their apps. Developing apps as more or less seperate entities might seem a sensible develment strategy and it probably is when combined with good (read efficient and thus "cheap") projectmanagement. If a contact has a birthday mentioned in contacts, don't you think I would want to see that in my calendar? If I try to be smart, I give the input myself, but then what happens? When syncing I get 2 birthdays is my outlook calendar ;-( Similar ennoying feat happens with GPS locations, I´m using serach address, use contactlist. Have a guess where I´d like the coordinates to go to when saved....no it´s not a new and seperate entry in favourites which in turn is read by the address book, these things should have seamless integration. User experience and ultimately satisfaction cannot be achieved by solely developing series of new and improved functionalities, cause to us, the consumer it´s not primarily a functionality. It´s actually a person, either in direct communication or otherwise stored for future communication. As a producer of these communication devices Nokia should show they understand this, preferably through their products. Regarding your issue syncing with Google Calendar, I'm assuming you're already using the calendar. Why not download the Google apps app? Or if you only want the calendar, take the standalone calendar app, Basically you'll have a mobilized calendar view with most of the functionalities there. Can't be online indefinetly? Just save the page locally, nothing you can't handle ;-) The solutions with either MfE reconfig or syncing with outllook/windows calendar in the middle are feasible too, however you do need to be carefull when setting direction and/or dominance of the sync relation. Multipoint syncing can become a severe headache if you haven't set it up proparly..... I've also included a google info mail, they send me some time ago. Loads of info&links, I'm sure there's a solution there which will fit your needs

greetz and goodluck

msn2002 · 14-Jan-2010

i tried this and got nowhere. didn't even get past #9. MFE is nowhere! i give up on Nokia (after so many Nokias). totally sucks!

that's why you have been losing in the market, Nokia!.

their flagship store here in nyc is closing down. and they say it's due to some unscrupuplous rivals in the market! WAKE UP NOKIA! YOUR R&D AND CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCK! that is the reason why you are losing in the market! simple calendar and email synching you cannot do! this is a walk in the part on other phones. stop selling junk! and get your customer service to the training camp. have them comtemplate on the word "service" for a full month!

psheldrake · 14-Jan-2010

msn2002, I envy your talent. You have a way of getting to the nub of your chagrin that fails me. I too often resort to the poor man's humour of sarcasm.

My love affair with the E75 started almost this time last year at the annual Mobile World Congress event. I saw her. I wanted her. And I got her, as soon as she became available. But what a terrible mistress. You see, my fond recall of the early days still incites me to write "love affair", yet I know now from rebalancing my feelings with what is probably amongst the longest of threads on this forum, that it was very much a one-sided relationship. It was all give by me and take by her.

I invested hours in trying to make it work, but she was the kind of girl who just wouldn't listen. She didn't want to know me. She had no interest in my calendar, and ignored my friends. She effectively said "It's me or Google, but you can't have us both."

So scarred am I after the maelstrom of our engagement, that I now shun all girls from her home town. I have so many fond memories of that town, but I could never go back. Too painful.

Nokia is just selling you a product with no real support, a so called "Business" mobile: you have to pass days and days, check blogs and forums to find an answer that work to such a ridicoulous question as how to synchronize with Google Calendar. Have you ever tried to call Nokia Customer Service? Unbelievable! They do not know ANYTHING about the product...

With such an approach they won't be too long a leading company...

Unfortunately I have brought a Nokia E75 wasting my time and money in such games....

As Google doesn't provide a service for syncing your mobile calendar over SyncML a swedish company has done it instead: www.syncme.se

Its very easy to use and their free version has very few limitations compare to e.g. GooSync, try it out...
