Setting up Google Sync on the Nokia E71
Google’s Sync service allows you to backup the contents of your Contacts folder from your Symbian S60 handset to Google’s servers, where you can access the information from any web browser with a connection to the Internet.
The system uses the SyncML protocol, and therefore does not require that any additional software be installed on the handset – you can simply use the Sync client already present on the device.
You will need an account with Google, but registration is free: browse to http://m.google.com/sync from your PC.
Setting up a Symbian handset
(NOTE – the precise menu locations will vary between handsets, in this example I used the Nokia E71)
Select Menu → Tools → Sync:
Press the Menu button and select the option to create a New Sync Profile.
Enter a name for the name new profile, such as ‘Google Sync’:
Select ‘Applications’, the following screen will be displayed:
Select Contacts. Use the following settings:
Include in sync – Yes
Remote Database – contacts (note this entry must be in lower case)
Synchronisation type – Both ways
Leave the rest of the Applications as ‘Not Defined’ as currently the service only supports contacts.
Return to the previous menu and select Connection Settings. Use the following settings:
Server Version – 1.2
Server ID – Google (note this entry must be written with a capital G as shown here)
Data Bearer – Internet
Access Point – (select your preferred GPRS / 3G or WLAN access point)
Host Address - https://m.google.com/syncml
Port – 443
Username – your full GoogleMail email address, normally in the form ‘xxx@googlemail.com’
Password – the password you specified when you created the GoogleMail account
Leave any other settings at their default values.
Press Back to save the changes and Back again. The new profile will now be listed. Press the menu button and select the option to Synchronise to initiate a connection to the server.
