PCSuite makes computer CPU max at 100%

I just installed the PC Suite software (Nokia_pc_suite_7_26_0) onto my Dell Latitude D510 using XP Pro. I'm connecting though Bluetooth. I was able to detect phone (6650) and make connection. After that, my PC hangs...CPU is at 100%. I have narrowed to the PCSuite software running. If I kill the that process the CPU is back to normal.

 

Help!

Re: PCSuite makes computer CPU max at 100%

I have the same problem on a Dell Latitude D810. Bluetooth on.

Managed to get it to work with bluetooth off but still with issues.

 

This only started happening after the latest PC Suite update! Might need to go and find an older version...

Re: PCSuite makes computer CPU max at 100%

ness...for completeness this is PC Suite updated a few days ago, version 7.1.28 (.exe properties page)

running on Windows XP over standard Dell Toshiba bluetooth on a Latitude D810 (and I know that is a flakey piece of hardware/software in itself - bluetooth gives no end of problems).

 

This problem is definitely introduced by the latest version/update.

 

Apps run file when started manually (e.g. PCSync2, ImageStore, CommunicationCentre). Best Nokia devs go away and look at what was added and do some more testing over bluetooth...

Re: PCSuite makes computer CPU max at 100%

I'm having the same problem with a home built desktop running XP home, bluetooth and 6650 phone.  It detects the phone and then goes to 100% and everything comes to a halt.  Never get any menus from PC Suite at all.  This has to be from the upgrade I did on 5/20 since I had just completed a phone sync with the previously installed version minutes before.  I have to kill the process to reclaim the computer.

Hi,

 

Is it happening only with Nokia 6650 phone?  Or with other phones also?

Every One knows about Alexander Graham Bell who inventd the telephone, but he never made a call to his family. Bcoz, they r deaf. Live for Others.

Mine is the N95 8GB.

 

I think the problem is definitely at the PC Suite end.

Re: PCSuite makes computer CPU max at 100%

Hi,

 

Could you try this:

1. close PCSuite application (e.g via Task Manager)

2. Open My Computer > Nokia Phone Browser > select your phone > File > Rename > set some short device name > OK

 

Then re-start PCSuite application...does it help?

 

And does the problem happen only with bluetooth (or also with USB)?

Re: PCSuite makes computer CPU max at 100%

Thanks miksu.  The change to a short device name seems to have fixed the issue and I can now sync my phone successfullly.   I don't use a USB cable with my phone so can't answer that side of the question for you.

For me the renaming did not work, unfortunately.

Re: PCSuite makes computer CPU max at 100%

The only way it worked for me was to totally un-install PCSuite and delete the portable device (your phone) from the hardware manager.

Re: PCSuite makes computer CPU max at 100%

The problem also appears with USB cable and other phone models (e.g. 5500 Sport). But your work-around did help.

Thanks alot!

Re: PCSuite makes computer CPU max at 100%

For me the problem occured even without installing new version of PCSuite. I already had 7.1.26.0 and all worked fine for 2 months almost and suddenly stopped working. Your solution helped! I'm using Bluetooth conection only.

But why it is causing that kind of problem? Will this be fixed with next version of PCSuite?

 

Thanks,

 

Adam

Re: PCSuite makes computer CPU max at 100%

I had the same issue with my N73 and PC suite for Windows Vista, but once I upgraded to PC suite 7.1.30.8 the issue is gone. Good luck.
