what is maesync?
 

Does anyone know what maesync is for?
The description of the relavent packages in the repos tells me nothing useful, nor does google seem to shed any light on what it is.

Re: what is maesync?
 

It appears to be for synchronising and transferring content from another device. The osso-maesync-ui package installs the shortcut/icon for "Transfer & sync" under Hildon Control Panel (Settings) so I would bet it relates to that.

It is also needed for Nokia PC Suite to work.

Re: what is maesync?
 

What the guys above said. AFAIK it's used for PC Suite contacts synchronization (does PC Suite still exist?). Perhaps it also does Bluetooth contacts sync.

In any case, it's not critical to have it:

Re: what is maesync?
 

It may not be 'critical' but I would really miss (working!) offline sync!
So for me it is a needs-to-be-there!

--
PC Suite is long 'dead', meaning it is no more supported/developed. But it is only one working reliably, means it has also its flaws when syncing different devices alltogether but at least PC Suite provides
a log.from which you can recover all information.

Re: what is maesync?
 

Nokia suite is newer than pc suite !

Re: what is maesync?
 

Erm, yes!
And what? I do not touch it.

Re: what is maesync?
 

Is that the one that works only with Lumias?

As peterleinchen said, the package may not be critical but is useful. I myself lived happily without it for months until I wanted to get a whole country map. AFAIK, PC Suite is the only way to do it. But it didn't work. It recognized the phone but refused to talk to it. I scratched my head for a few days, until I figured it out and put this non-critical package back.

Lol nokia suite works nice enough then the buggy slow pc suite and works with all except the lumia ones ;)

:confused::confused::confused:

I had almost all versions of 'OVI Suite', 'Nokia Suite' on different PCs and went happily back to latest version of PC Suite' as this was/is the only one working reliably with older Symbian and N9/00. And it provides a log of sync (show me that for New Suites).


But this is almost OT for this thread.

Re: what is maesync?
 

@nokiabot, I stand corrected. Mine is called Nokia Suite, version 3.8. The last one working with the N900. I had to wait to get back to my PC to find out.

@peterleinchen, indeed this is OT but, since the OP's question has been answered and this thread has already fulfilled its purpose, the only two things left to do is either close it or continue OT :)

And since we are OT already, I would like to know what other package(s) I need to sync the contacts from my N900 to my Jolla. The Jolla offers syncing with a number of other phones, including the N900. Yes, it lists it explicitly. Yet it did not work for me. It said something about SyncML. I have no idea what it is but I checked the repos and installed everything as little as mentioning SyncML, but it still does not work.

Re: what is maesync?
 

Recently there had been problem with nokia suite not able to sign in.It was mentioned on this site along with the fix (temporary?).

I never used nokia suite myself so not sure what this error is all about as i only use pc suite which works fine with n900 too.

Re: what is maesync?
 

ok, thanks for the info guys. Looks like keeping maesync going on Neo900 (at least in terms of the cellular services daemon) should be easy enough, the only things it needs from the cellular services daemon are com.nokia.csd.info.GetDSPSWVersion and com.nokia.csd.info.GetIMEINumber.
