Nokia E71 sync contacts with gmail contacts and calendar entrys with google calendar

Finally you can sync your contacts and calendar events with gmail and or google calendar
it works with custum google domains aswell (google apps) it should work on every Nokia s60 v3
tested with Nokia E51 and Nokia E71.

There is no need to use third party software like GooSync/gcalsync/Gcal/CalSyncS60 anymore
it just works with SyncML




First go to settings > sync settings create a new profile
Call it google sync.
Select and click "Applications"
Select and click "Contacts"


Make sure the 'Include in Sync' option is set to "Yes"
Define the 'Remote Database' option as "contacts".
It needs to be spelled exactly like this (lower case)


go back
Select and click "Calendar"



Make sure the 'Include in Sync' option is set to "Yes"
Define the 'Remote Database' option as "calendar".
It needs to be spelled exactly like this (lower case)
Click 'Back' to exit this screen and save your settings

Select and click 'Connection Settings'
Enter the following values:

* Server version: 1.2
* Server ID: Google (capital 'G' is important)
* Data bearer: Internet
* Access point: the Internet access point for your carrier.



Host address: https://m.google.com/syncml (Important to enter https for a secure connection)
Port: 443
User name: your Google Account username, e.g. email@gmail.com or google apps account
Password: your Google password
Leave other values unchanged



Click "Back" to exit this screen and save your settings
Click "Back" again to exit the Sync profile settings
Highlight the your Sync profile and select 'Synchronize' from the "Options" menu to synchronize your contacts and calendar with Google.




If you delete calendar entrys on your mobile phone they don't get synced to google calender for now.

Genau das gleiche hab ich gestern aus Neugier auch probiert.
Mit dem Ergebnis das ich alle Termine in der kommenden Woche doppelt bzw um einen Tag verschoben auf dem E71 hatte.
Auf Google selbst hat sich aber nichts geändert.

Hallo Matthias,

Komisch bei mir wurde nichts dupliziert auch keine Kontakte habe extra nochmal getestet.

Naja die Software ist ja noch BETA früher oder später wird sicherlich einiges angepasst werden.

Sobald ich News habe melde ich mich, Vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar

Ja die Kontakte syncen einwandfrei.
Aber der Kalender eben nicht.
Ich probier das aber nachher nochmal.

Hi Markus,

Sounds like a great tip (I saw it as it was picked up by the Nokia e71 blog) but I'm having problems.

When asking to syncronise the E71 goes through the process connecting, syncronising- but then disconnects and give s a warning message "Unable to open database". Any ideas what might be wrong? Cheers

I have the same problem: "Unable to open database".
But 2 days ago when i gonfigured it first time it worked great. It seems like Google has stopped the possibility to sync calendar

John hat gesagt…

The reason that it is giving you that error is that the google calendar is no longer syncing. Disable the calendar and it will sync your contacts.

Markus Lanthaler hat gesagt…

indeed google has changed something anyways i found a better way to sync the contacts and calendar entrys in both ways, for free.

I'll post the guide soon, checkout the new Nokia Messaging patch released today

Hi Markus ...

I'm curious ... saw this link:
http://netac10.vie.hosting.nokia.com/pkgbuilder/src/PkgBuilder.jsp?u=

and wondered why Nokia Messaging is offered for SE 240x320 resolution devices?

Whats wrong??

Thanks for all these useful details .... I just got my nokia E71 3 days ago and was trying to sync Google Contacts and Google Calendar.

Contacts Sync:
Yesterday I successfully sync my 200+ contacts from my Google Contact to my E71 but it only worked once. It doesn't work today. My E71 screen was showing the "Invalid host address!"message.

Calendar Sync:
I don't have any luck on Calendar sync. My E71 screen was showing the "Unable to open database!"message.

Sync Setup:
I was using "https://m.google.com/syncml" following the step-by-step instruction as per Markus Lanthaler in his blog "http://blog.lanthaler.org/2009/02/nokia-e71-contacts-and-calendar-sync.html"

Questions:
1. I want to know more about user "GoodSpeed" mentioned about "./Calendar" in his post Feb 10, 2009.
2. Why my contact sync only worked for 1 day? Is it my setup problem? or what.

Can someone help me? I'm just a non-techy dum users :)

drichard hat gesagt…

Hi, did anyone succeed in syncing to calendar and finally what are the right values for the parameters "distant database" and "host address"
Thx

Klaus Steininger hat gesagt…
