Nokia problem: No modem Found
I was having problems connecting my Duplii yesterday. And so I tried acting like a pc technical support person and changed some of the settings in the Device Hardware Management of my PC. But still the problems were there.
So instead of using the Duplii, i plugged in my N82 and open the One touch access application from the Nokia PC suite. Boom.. “no modem found” OH NOHHHHHH!
I clicked “Settings” but there’s nothing in the drop down menu.. WHAAAAA!
So i tried a lot of things to make it work again…
1. I reverted back all the stuff that i changed in the Device Hardware Management console.
2. I upgraded my Nokia Nseries PC suite (which aasked me to download the Dot net 3 framewrok - 50mb - ouch!)
3. I re-installed the nokia connectivity driver (even if the phone connects with the PC)
4. I reinstalled the Modem Drivers.
… but stilll.. “no modem found!” Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
But don’t worry… there are other ways for you to still be able to use your phone as modem.
Option 1
Create a dial-up network connection. make sure you choose your phone’s modem as seen on the picture below.
Now, try it out by double clicking your newly created dial-up connection.
OPTION 2
Use Joiku Spot. A mobile phone application which turns your S60 3rd edition devices into a wifi hotspot! Nice huh? Been using this software for quite sometime now and I’m happy with it. The light version is free.
But i still hope Nokia can fix this problem.. Why nokia? Coz when i re-intsalled / updated my Nokia PC suite, it should have repaired the problem. Right?

I experienced the same on my Nokia 6233 before. I had to manually remove PCSuite and all its associated components (about 3 of them) from the Add/Remove Programs applet in the control panel of Windows.
I noticed that this “modem loss” happened when I updated to PCSuite v7.0 and NSU 1.4.56(?). I reverted back to the older version I was using, v6.85, (after removing all associated PCSuite components) and it fixed the problem. =)
