Contact search options

I would like to know if the next 2.0 update will bring new search options in the address book such as by company name, city, zip, country or using any other fields.
I have over 700 contacts and some times having this ability is simply great. Today I had to stop in the middle of the day to browse my Outlook by company name to find the contact I had to call, which defeats the purpose of having a PDA/smartphone.

This is a user to user forum. You won't get a response from Apple here, nor does anybody here know any answers about future stuff.
With that said, some of the screen shots from the last demo Apple gave for the SDK showed a small magnifying glass on the contacts screen. While it was never demoed, it was noticed in pictures. One can assume it may be added with the 2.0 update.

Thanks guys =).

Please use the code tags when posting code (there is a button on the posting page for them). It would also help if you told us what you are trying to do, what error you are getting, and what you expect to get.
If you are just asking us to write the code for you, then you are in the wrong place.

Contacts search - 6120 classic

Evening all,
First off, hello all.
Right, I've had my 6120 a while and can't seem to work out how to change the search in the contacts setion.
For example,
If I want to call my friend John, I go into the contacts list and click "J". But, names with J in the surname also pop up, eg David Jones. The search list is looking in first names and surnames?
Is there a way to get the phone to only search the first name?
Many thanks
David

As far as I know there is no search option for Nokia phones. Typing any letter in search be it in the first name or last will show all names in your phone book with that, then refining it as you type succeeding letters.
I did a work around on it but not elegant. I just preceed the last name with a number or any symbol you like. So when I type the symbol the last names are presented. But if you enable to say who's calling it will tell also the preceeding character. You can experiment which one you prefer.

Nokia c7 "Smart Dial" or "Contact Search" on Dial ...

Anyone out there? Who can help.... Desperately need help on this.
You know on the dial screen you start hitting the numbers and your Nokia will find the best matching contacts... called the "Smart dial" or "Contacts Search"... My C7 doesn't have that feature.
I have looked at the manual and it says, click options>contact search>off/on ....
Well I don't have such an option in anywhere.
This is really annoying me, I love this feature and that is the only way I am going to manage my 500+ contacts.
Someone help!

I have that feature on my C7-00. Y-day I also updated my phone app to the latest version and the feature is still there. Pressing OPTIONS on the call screen lets me select the Contact Search ON/OFF.
Works very smooth...

E52 Contact search entry problem arising after lat...

Press the Contact button once, the Contact list screen shows up. At the bottom of the screen is the search bar. When I press any of the alpha-numeric keys, the alphabet (or number depending on how many times I press the same key) appears momentarily but disappears within less than a second. So now I CANNOT do a search. I have to scroll up or down!
I've since tried multiple things: re-boot phone several times, take out sim card + mem card and then do software reset, re-install the firmware under Ovi Suite's Software Update menu option. None help so far.
Can someone help please?
Solved!

peteralmere,
Answers to your questions are no to all. But I don't see why such legitimate usages (off phone overnight, batt out > 25min) should/can mess contact search. This simply should not happen in any phone, even the cheapest entry level phone.
Is 2 contacts too many to have ? As I mentioned, it did't work even with just 2 entries (all entered in English) in my experiment.
It's a firmware issue that the E52 firmware development team messed up and their validation team missed. Not the issue of how I use my phone or how many contacts I've got.

Contact Search on nokia E7

Didn't realised it after a few days that my E7 doesnt have a contact search.
I tried the user guide, the onboard help and followed the instruction to the letter.
"In the home screen, open the keyboard, and start entering the contact's first or second
name. You can also search by company name."
I tried that and there is nothing. Tried searching all my menus, options and settings yet I cannot find the elusive contact search
Kindly guide me to the right way to activate the contact search on my E7
thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To do a contact search without having the contacts shortcut on your homescreen, press call and start typing the contacts name 3283 will produce all the DAVE contacts on your phone, as an alternative tap the icon in the bottom right corner and you are taken into a contacts list which you can scroll through or search. As another alternative use the 'favourite contacts' widget on homescreen and load your favourite contacts to it and swipe through them to find the person you want to call.
As a further alternative, usr the search widget on a homescreen and type in the name you want to find and search my content.
Appologies if this doesn't answer your question as these are the only methods for finding a contact on the E7 that I have discovered so far, hope this helps
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

E71 Contact search problem

My contact search function on E71 is ok, just that I can't call out 2 entries in contacts.
1) 1Jen
2) BJ
As these 2 names's second character is "J" it is also "#" and the first character are also with numbers. That is why the home screen showed
1) 1#
2) 8#
And it gave me the phone numbers which was the 1st and 8th stored on my SIM card contact.
I used to be able to call them without such problem. Only experience this today.
Does anyone know how to turn off SIM contact reading?
Rgds,
DB

Firstly, open up each contact in turn and select Options>Play voice tag - this will tell you how the phone interprets the name. As you are using abbreviations, the voice recognition system may be interpreting the text strangely.
It is also possible that the problemis caused by the shortness of the name. Often, it is better to have a full name (eg: Marcus de Bruyn) instead of a shorter form (eg: Marc) because when you say a name with more syllables you give the recognition system more data to work with in comparing with your contacts.

Please let me know if someone can provide me help on my scenario, so that I can share more stuff related to invoice and DB.
Look forward to hearing soon from experts and other team members.
Thanks & Regards

As far as I know there is not any auto increment data type in Oracle. Instead of this you should create a sequence and get the next value of the sequence while creating a row in your table.
CREATE SEQUENCE Test_Sequence ;
CREATE TABLE Test_Table ( Id NUMBER , Foo VARCHAR2(4) ) ;
ALTER TABLE Test_Table ADD CONSTRAINT Test_Table_PK_Id PRIMARY KEY ( Id ) ;
INSERT INTO Test_Table ( Id , Information ) VALUES ( Test_Sequence.NEXTVAL , 'FOO' ) ;

I can't see the 'search' option on this site. Am I the only one?

I'm having an issue with DVDSP and I can't see the 'search' option on this site. Is Apple cutting down on bandwidth for this so they can sell their phones?!
Anyone else having the same issue?

DVR Search Option No Longer Works - After The Crap Upgrade

The new software upgrade is crap. DVR search option no longer works. I can't use the search option to find my favorite programs and set the DVR to record them. It only lets me put the first letter in the search field and then nothing. I can't enter any more letters aftet that.
Verizon sent me another DVR but it has same issues. They sent a technician to my house and he basically told me, the upgrade is crap and lots of people are having technical issues.
He gave me another box and said it is working. Now I have three DVRs sitting in my house and I have to return two. After he left I tried to search and I have the same exact issue so basically he just lied and didn't fix anything.
I called tech support over and over, and they just told me that they can't do anything. They basicaly admitted that the upgrade is crap and the are clueless on how to fix it. So I'm stock with 3 DVRs that don't work. Billing department told me they can't give me any discounts either.
Anyone else is having these issues?

Same issue here. Sent me another box, same model as the old one. Same exact issues. Called Tech support back, they admitted it was a known issue, and nothing he could do about it. Was told I had to talk to someone in SALES to get them to send me a newer box.
New box is here, and now i have no option to record. Oh, and last time I called tech support... I got 'disconnected' (after being on hold for 30+ minutes). They are really dropping the ball, and I will not be renewing.
