Bug in Changing Contact Names

Recently as I've changed my contacts' names (from the conversation window), Skype has simply corrected them to 'sex'. That's it. 'sex'. However, when I navigate away from the chat and come back to it, the changed name is now reflected.
This has shown up for all contacts I've tried to change! It's amusing, but nsfw. I hope the bug can be resolved soon!

I always find editing contacts using Ovi suite on the desk top works better than on the phone, then just sync contacts !

  • IPhone freezes when I change contact name

    Hello guys
    So, my girlfriend has an iPhone 5S and when I/She try to change the name of any contact the smartphone freezes and I have to power it off.
    I tried updating it to the lastest iOS version but it didn't solve the problem.
    What should I do?

    Hi Jersep,
    Since this is an issue that has carried over from one device to a new device, it seems like the source of this issue may be from your data in your backup. Try using the following article to restore your software and test the device as a new phone, free from your backup data, to see if this affects the issue:

  • Changed contact name after 10.2 upgrade

    After I upgraded my Z10 to v10.2.0.424 my contact entry name changed from my name (format: first last name) to my birthday (format: YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00)?!?!  I went to edit my contact entry and I can chenge everyhing but the name.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    it appears I didn't have the user's BBM PIN entered.  when i entered it into their contact, saved.  REOPENED the contact, their first and last name showed up.
    Weird but true.

  • IPhone changes contact name

    I have an iPhone 3G running OS 3.0
    I have a contact stored as a first name only, Mobile and email.
    When ever i receive an email from him, The iphone automatically changes his stored name to the one written in his email name.
    What is the reason please ? and how can solve it please ?
    Thanks

    I have the same issue with my 3G. What I found out is that - apparently - the Address Book was made for people with First AND Last names, so if you don't use one of them when you receive an e-mail from this person it will automatically changes the contact field, using that one registered with the email. The only solution for me until now was to mark those contacts that I use only the first or the last name as COMPANY. That seems to solve the problem, but I'm still hoping to find a more effective way out.

  • Can't change contact name of recent numbers I call...

    I recently called a number and I would like to add that number to my contact's with the appropriate name.  Visiting the profile and even typing the number in again on the keypad doesn't seem to give  any option to save this contact with an appropriate name.  I can't believe i'm even here typing this.  The small 3 dot's lower right hand corner only give the option to block or remove contact. 
    I thought this was 2014.

    Yes absolutely amateur and unbelievably inconsiderate and above all DUMB to omit this function. I now have a long list of numbers in recently called and a big hassle if I want to figure out who is who. I thought it was either me being thick, or something temporary glitch. But obviously no one at Skype CARES, is this true? Do I pay for this service???

  • Applescript to change contact names to Title Case

    That pretty well some it up.  I've looked and looked and it seems this is not an easy thing to do!  I guess the Proper() function from Excel doesn't exist in applescript?
    Hope someone knows how to do this. MANY THANKS

    Actually, you're using 10.7, so you can leverage cocoa.  Create an applescript-cocoa application in the Applescript Editor (from the New from Template submenu), and play with the following code:
    display alert properCase("test string")
    on properCase(t)
              set cocoaString to current application's NSString's stringWithString_(t)
              return (cocoaString's capitalizedString()) as text
    end properCase

  • I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. After long hours, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the content works.

    I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. The title of the mails stored in the mailbox appear, but the content was unavailable.
    After 4 long hours at the phone with the Apple staff unable to help me, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the contents of the mails stored there become available.
    Please, make this solution available to other people!

    You have found the the way to share it.   Include your problem and its solution in a forum post in the Mavericks forums.   Then mark you own post with a green solved star.

  • How can i change a contact name pronunciation on siri

    how can i change a contact name pronunciation on siri

    under contacts, there's a field for "phonetic first/last name." Just spell it how it sounds and Siri will get it.
    If you don't find the field, go into edit mode and choose "add field".

    "Your options are:
    Get a trial account form @mac which will work as an iChat name after the 60 days run out but not be a email account that is valid (And is free)"
    Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
    "Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
    The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
    I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
    Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.

    Did you change your sim card? I had this same problem because I moved countries and had to add a 1 before the number and area code.

  • My messages won't say the contact name only shows the phone number, how do you change this when the contact is in my phone under that number already?

    I thought that at first, but I have text this person before and had received responses in a timely manner. Its just weird that it all of a sudden removed their name.
    Would this affect the delivery of the text message?

    There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

  • E50 number to contact name matching bug?

    Hello,
    I just got an E50 (RM-170, software V 07.36.00). 
    It seems to have a very irritating bug in the way numbers are matched to contacts in the 'recent calls' lists:
    - an entry in the list will show the contact name *only if* the number appears only once in the contact list;
    - otherwise the entry only shows the number. 
    This happens all the time with my well organized (synced ith my PC) contact list where 2 members of the same family typically have entries with different mobile numbers, but same landline numbers. In that case the landline number will never be matched to a contact name.
    To me this is not a 'feature', but definitely a bug. All other (non-Nokia) phones I have owned have the much more usable behaviour of showing in the calls list the name for the first (or last - who cares) contact that matches a call number.
    Is there a  software update that fies this bug for the E50?

     What you are supposed to do is to save all the different number for a contact under the same contact name eg. Joe Soap - Home, Joe soap - mobile etc.
     Well this is exactly what I do: I have
     - Joe Soap
        - Home (xxxxxxxxx)
        - Mobile (yyyyyyyyy)
    But I have also:
     - Jane Soap
        - Home (xxxxxxxxx)
        - Mobile (zzzzzzzzz)
     And this where the Nokia bug hits:
    When Joe or Jane Soap call me from their home number xxxxxxxxx (which is the same for both contacts):
    - any other (sensible)  phone would match xxxxxxxxx to a contact (Joe or Jane Soap - I don't really care which Soap);
    - but the Nokia insists on showing the bare number xxxxxxxxx, without matching it to a contact.
