Title: How can I tether my e7 to my pc?
Post by: Babycakes 1950 on October 03, 2015, 10:05:50 PM

I'm having a *censored* of a time trying to use my E7 as a modem. I'm sure the answer is complicated. Who can I call, or what site might help me?

Have you contacted your provider to see if they have any assistance for this. Im sure they would find it beneficial to help you since they would make money on your usage if you pay a fee for additional data transfer.

I have a job where I visit people in their homes, and I have to have internet access. I bought the &*($@ phone for this purpose, to use as a modem (only in that setting). I have spent hours trying to make this work and I frustrated!!!!

Nice job, Patio.
The link says the user needs to use:
Nokia Ovi Suite. Which is a program for the PC.
Everything you need to sync your Nokia phone with a PC (http://nokia-ovi-suite.en.softonic.com/)
Free download from Softronic.

Every time I go thru the steps to enable me to set up my E7 smartphone as a modem connected by usb, I get the attached notice. Is this a scam? Do I need to pay for this to update my drivers?

Are Nokia Suite and Nokia Ovi Suite the same thing? My webroot program told me it was a malicious download and not to proceed.

Scam! The download sites are deliberately trying to confuse people.

This link is from Microsoft for Nokia Suite .

Are Nokia Suite and Nokia Ovi Suite the same thing? I search one and get the other. Tried to thank you and can't repeat a Karma action for 2 more hours. Geek Squad wants me to wait 4 1/2 hours to answer my questions! I can't get past this "pay only $29/yr" driver update program to complete the process that Patio found for me.

Sorry  you have so much trouble.
Your question ,
Are Nokia Suite and Nokia Ovi Suite the same,
Was considered here:

The posts on the Microsoft site suggest the two are almost the same. But not exactly.   :)
