Contact online status disappears

Hi,
Phone: Nokia N900
Latest firmware update
My contact's online status indicators seem to have disappeared from the phone book view and from my contact short-cut icons on the desktop. I had the phone on and they were available when I switched it on, but at some point, they just disappeared. Please can someone explain what causes this and if there is anything I can do to solve it / prevent it, other than turning the phone off and on again. Many thanks
Solved!

Skype Contact Online Message in Windows Ray

I would like to capture when my contacts come online. Is there anywhere this information is stored?
I do see the message pop up in the Wiindows tray, but I must be on my system in order to see.
Is this information stored in a file somewhere?
I want to validate my times when connecting and I need to ensure the person was online when they were suppose to be. Example: I host a meeting to start at 1pm, I am late by 10 minutes. How can I validate the other party was online for the 1pm meeting?
Thanks

Skype does not offer a feature to track when contacts changed their online status. Also keep in mind that there could be several reasons why the statusses are changing, e.g. loss of connection, sign out on mobile devices etc.
Also I would like to add that it's unlikely such feature to track historical status changes would ever be implemented. It looks like a privacy invasion to me that most users would not want.

Discrepancies in Online Status in Mail

I’m having problems sending emails, similar to those reported here and elsewhere in these discussions. I have some slightly different observations that might shed some light.
1. I have no trouble receiving emails.
2. I do have trouble sending emails, but only with 2 of my five email accounts. All five accounts are with the same web host; bluehost, and all five are with the same domain name.
3. It seems that over the past month I have had consistent trouble with ONLY two of the accounts and as of yesterday, one of those two is now working, trouble free, but I don't know what I might have changed. So, I’m down to one problem account. (Lucky me!)
4. In my efforts to diagnose and correct this, I did notice one curious thing that I haven’t seen stated on this thread. Here’s a description:
If (while I’m in the Mail program) I go to the Mailbox Menu and check the Online Status of all 5 accounts, it appears that they are all “online.” It doesn’t actually SAY that my accounts are online but, rather, the only available option is to take each account “Offline.”
So, Mailbox menu > Online Status >
The choices shown are:
Take “Account 1” Offline
Take “Account 2” Offline
Take “Account 3” Offline
Take “Account 4” Offline
Take “Account 5” Offline
That seems to be a backward way of say that these accounts are all online.
Now, however, if I go to the “Preferences . . .” in Mail and select “Accounts” > “Account Information” > Outgoing Mail Sever (SMTP) there is a drop-down menu that show all 5 of my accounts BUT after one of the accounts I see “Offline” in parentheses:
So, the third one of my 5 accounts show as . . .
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): box555.bluehost.com:[email protected] (Offline)
Of course, I’m using bogus place holders here for the Box###, AccountName and DomainName to hide the actual account information, but I hope this is clear enough.
Bottom line: in Mail’s Mailbox menu it indicates that this account is Online; in preferences in indicates it is Offline.
Can anyone see what might be wrong here? I’ve been really, REALLY careful in setting up my accounts and rechecking everything, and I can’t find any obvious errors that I’ve made.
I suspect this is a bug in the Apple Mail program, but I have not had this problem prior to OS X 10.6.2.
Oh, by the way . . . the problem, then, is that I can’t send mail from that one account. The mail program appears to TRY to send the message when I hit Send with the pinwheel spinning. But eventually I get a Mail dialog box saying:
“Cannot send message using the server box555.bluehost.com:[email protected]”
“Connection on the default ports failed." And it offers me the full SMPT Server List so that I can choose a different server of edit the server list.
Sorry for such a tedious description, but this problem is driving me crazy and it appears that I’m not the only one with this problem.

Good suggestion and I will contact Bluehost tomorrow. However, I been with them for over a year with not problems. The problem started (for me) with OS 4.6. and and/or Mail v4.2.
Will report back if I learn anything useful.

Does the iMessage protocol provide for "online status" indication?

In iChat, I could set the online status of my AIM account ("Available", "Away", etc.).
Does the iMessage protocol provide for "online status" indication?

HI,
Messages Beta can do the same indications for the older style iChat Buddy List the same as iChat does/did.
The iMessage Login (the "Account" in the Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts that deals with sending iMessages to iPhones and iPads) does not have the same indicators.
What it does do is indicate the options in the "To" spot for the Name that is currently shown there.
To explain that a bit further.
When you click New Message the Blue Plus icon appears
You can select Contacts from this list and navigate to a Contact in the Address Book
Once you select a Contact their Name is in the "To" spot
If you now click this it becomes a Drop down and the iMessage details they have are marked with a blue Speech bubble.
IF you select an iMessage Contact this way and they are Off Line the name will go red.

A gtalk contact keeps on disappearing!

i use gtalk with ichat and one of my contacts keep on disappearing each time in log in to ichat again after signing out. when i sign into to gmail i don't see the contact there either. the contact has me added to his list and does see me online.
when i re-add the contact, he gets added without any authorization on his part. he notices no change on his side. i am able to chat normally after that point. however, when i log off and re log in to gtalk from ichat after a short time, the contact is gone!
any insight?

.Jabber for Windows 9.2.1 Contact "Away" status doesn't show duration. I am wondereing if it is possible with Cisco Jabber client. Microsoft OCS client used to show.

Hi,
This is currently not supported in Jabber.
If you think that this feature should be in Jabber, you can open a TAC case and do Enchancment request with them?

I just got back from the Verizon store and the guy went to my settings and under each email, unsynced my contacts. I lost all my contacts, and it's a good thing I had a typed up a back up file on my computer before going but to my joy- IT WORKED! It's been a week and all my contacts haven't moved and have stayed. It's like a regular phone (contact wise).

Can't access my contacts online ?? Help

I can't access my contact list on line. I have backup assistant on my phone but it seems to want me to set up a new account online. How can I access my contacts online without syncing my accounts again? I don't want my contacts duplicated??

Hey there arzee58! I experienced the same thing you've been going through once before so I can appreciate your concern. The first thing I recommend is making sure that when you're logging in to My Verizon, you're using the logon that was set up for that specific mobile number. I'm an account owner so when I tried to login to edit my son's contact list, I wasn't able to access it because I logged in under my own mobile number instead of his! If you've done that but still don't see the contacts, please let me know. I'll check your account. Thanks!

I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?

I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?

You can't delete it. Look on all your screens and inside all your folders. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

Can i get my contacts online from the verizon cloud??? phone broken

how can i get my contacts from the verizon cloud online??

Hey there zututu,
I'm glad to hear that you are using the Verizon Cloud to back up your contacts. It is a great way to make sure that you have your contacts saved in case you ever switch devices.
Are you just trying to view your contacts online? Are you trying to transfer your contacts from the cloud to your device? Do you have the Verizon Cloud application downloaded to your computer?
Please provide additional details so I can better assist.

How to hide online status

Hi,
Unfortunately I do not have a Messenger System in front of me or I might be able to answer the question without hasseling this forum.
How can a user hide their online status? The problem is that the customer takes user privacy very seriously and before they even think about implementing Messenger they want to be sure that a user can hide their online status if they want to. Is this possible? If so, how?
Thank you for your assistance.
Mike

Hi Mike,
Just some more information... in the Web Console... Click Current Users to display a list of current Messenger users and their IP addresses. Click the User ID, then click Disconnect User to disconnect the user.
So on the backend you can see who is connected... just not from the client.
Cheers,

Gmail contacts and calendars disappear

My Gmail account is synced but at least once a day all of my contacts and calendars disappear. This happens with Exchange and Gmail. If I do a shutdown cycle holding home and power, then immediately sync they sometimes come back. How do I get them to stop deleting and get them back? In the mean time is there an easier way to get them back for when I don't have my laptop with me?

When you enable Icloud on the Ipad they should upload to the server. And then when you setup icloud on the computer with outlook they will download and update outlook.
