How to: Install and use Nokia Ovi services (competition entry)

A quick 3-minute guide, that tells you how to install the Ovi Suite on your PC, connect your phone via USB, use it to tether mobile internet to your PC, update your software and install Ovi Maps 3.
This was my entry for the May 2010 help video competition by Vodafone UK
The phone used was a Noka 5800 XpressMusic, but the suite is compatible with most Nokia phones. Some features may require an internet contract or a GPS-compatible phone.
Music is by Mr. Scruff (Spandex Man)

Heaps thanks dude!

Can i download softwares from ovi?

[TJBG95]

@adorebeauty0 I've given up on nokia now, so my information may be out of date.

As far as I know you can download apps from the store on your phone, or you can install them via sisx, but you can't download from the store on your computer.

anyone please tell me how to use nokia ovi ...to connect its internet on my laptop

[TJBG95]

@carbonised1000 Once you have the phone connected as I showed in the video... go to tools, then connect to internet. if it doesn't work your contract may not support tethering. or, you could use Joikuspot from the ovi store

the sis file of ovi maps, i dont know how to install it

[TJBG95]

@gazzza92 Either open it with the Ovi suite when the phone is connected, or transfer it to your phone via USB, browse to it using the phone's file manager and open it.

I cant find Nokia N9. What can I do?

[TJBG95]

@ahloi3 You go to tools/add device and it isn't detected?

I don't really know... seems like a malfunction in the cable, phone or computer.

Firstly, to test if the computer's hardware is the problem, try plugging in a computer peripheral into the same port to see if it works.

Then, to test if the phone's the problem, try using another nokia phone with the same setup.

To test the cable, try to find another Micro USB cable.

If you find changing something has made it work, you have to replace it.

@corvette4554 Whether you have the most up-to-date version depends on when you got your phone and what system updates you have.

I can see no harm, however, in downloading the latest if availible.

[corvette4554]

i asked him about ovi program and maps he said your phone already has it and not recommended to download or update from the internet

so is it recommended to update ??
