Contacts and Ringing

Hey everybody
I spotted some loose point with the contacts list of the phone. Actually, i was surprised why the ringtone would not play when one of my contacts calls me. I do get the incoming call but no ringing.
Then I found out that the problem is when the contact is not found in my SIM's contacts list,it does not ring.
Then I added it to my SIM contacts and removed it from the phone. But then, if the contact is not found on my Phone contacts, I cannot add it in the Contacts Bar.
In the end, I need to have double contacts saved both on my SIM and Phone.
Has anyone encountered this problem and been able to work around it? I hope Nokia can provide some information themself.

that sounds very strange. normally you can not assign a ring tone to a number saved on a sim card.
i think maybe you have a duplicate number somewhere else in your phonebook. so when you delete it from your phone and put it to the sim card, it is finding the correct ringtone setting from the other listing that is also in your phonebook (and not really the sim card). 
as a matter of fact, i just tried it and it should tell you "contact must be copied to phone memory in order to add selected detail" when you try to assign a tone to a sim contact
i had this problem a long time ago on my nokia 9500 when i had my contacts saved to a memory card. i had to have them in the phone's memory or the ringtone wouldn't play, even though it would let me assign a tone to memory card contacts. maybe the icon you are seeing is a memory card icon and not a sim icon? try moving the contact from the memory card to your phone (if the 5800 even has that option to store on a card). and double check for a duplicate number somewhere.

  • After upgrading to OS 8.1.3 on iphone 5, suddenly all contacts have facetime and ring on both my ipad and iphone.  Went to Contacts and Facetime to Edit and delete, but no field to do so. How can I delete Facetime from all these contacts?

    After upgrading to OS 8 on my iphone 5, suddenly all my contacts had Facetime capabilities. I only want to FT with a few people Unwanted FT calls now ring on both my iphone and ipad. I tried to edit and delete FT capabilities in both Contacts and Facetime icon, but there is no field to delete for this. How do I delete Factime from my contacts list? thanks for any help with this.

    Hi Ingo 2711,
    Thank you for your suggestion.  I backup on itunes. I went to itunes, deleted syncing my contacts, then re-synced them. But the Facetime capability option continues to be there on most (not all, for some curious reason) of my contacts. I am not sure I posed my question correctly.  I want to be able to FT with my family, so don't want to delete the FT capability totally from my iphone and ipad. But I don't want all these other iphone calls from various contacts to ring on my ipad as FT calls.  I want a way to select with whom I have FT capabilities. Any further suggestions? Thanks much, trekpal

  • I set a Special Ring Tone for One of my contacts and now I want to set the standard tone again. How can I adjust the iPhone to always use the standard tone?

    I set a Special Ring Tone for One of my contacts and now I want to set the standard tone again. How can I adjust the iPhone to always use the standard tone?

    Yeah, I did. But if I go to settings and change the standard ring tone again, the ring tone for that special contact is still the old standard tone. But I want to 'tell' my iPhone/iPad that this contact should always have the standard ringtone from settings.

  • I created a ringtone successfully and assigned it to a contact, but the default ring always answers, I've tried deleting the contact, and also shutting the phone down completely, but neither has worked. One tip mentioned making sure format was correct??

    I assigned a ringtone to a contact but the default answers.  I've tried deleting the contact and reinstalling it and  shutting the phone down (holding the home button in and the top button until apple icon appears), One tip mentioned making sure the format was correct. ???  Any suggestions?  The ringtone itself works if used as a default, but when I assign it to this contact, no dice.

    First thing to always do is write a Certified Return Receipt letter or just copy the post you made and send it to Verizon Wireless and dispute it in writing.
    Then walk down to your local court and file a small claims court case against Verizon for all the fraudulent charges. Verizon will call you before that court case and then it may be possible to get this wiped off your account.
    Also file a BBB complaint http://www.bbb.org
    Again Verizon will contact you to offer to settle. Get the settlement in writing not verbal. Or proceed to court.
    Sorry you are going through hell for something you should never have had to go through.
    Good Luck

  • Looking for an app that allows a contact to ring even in silent mode

    Has anyone come across an app yet that will allow the phone to still ring even in silent mode?
    I want to be able to NOT hear any of the emails or texts at night when I go to sleep but at the same time, I want to be able to have the phone ring through from certain contacts - in case of emergencies from my parents or my son.
    This seems like a pretty simple request.

    there isnt an app, but if you want to spend $99 like i did, you can get the beta version of IOS 6.  It has that exact feature built in!  It only rings emergency contacts and also if someone calls multiple times in 3 mintues or less. Its a cool feature.  With the $99, you get IOS 6 with all the new featues like maps etc... This isnt realeased to public untill fall.https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action

Any and all advice very gratefully received as seriously peeved with BB models now.  My first BB was fantastic ... but all newer models have had problems ... think BB needs to ensure that all techy problems are fully ironed out prior to launching their new BB handset!
    1. Connect your Z10 to the wall outlet charger for an hour and then with the Z10 powered on, and with it STILL CONNECTED, remove the battery for a minute and replace. This will normally reset the the on-device battery meter and allow the charging status and percentage to show more correctly.

  • Ive lost all contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help

    Ive lost all my Contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help
    How can I get them all Back ???

    Have had the same issue - and conflicts between PC, Ipad and Iphone.  Gained 6000 names and lost contacts or contact contents.  Have had to edit on PC.  Spoke with Apple Express and was advised to do editing only on PC and then sync.  Was also told not to use Icloud until problems had been solved.  Have spent last two weeks recreating my contacts list.
    Haven't yet bothered to reclaim my missing paid ring tones.

  • Either iTunes or outlook is mixing contacts and calendars between two iphones

    I've been having this problem for a while now and have endlessly combed the internet for an answer without a result. Either I can't find it or the answer isn't there.
    I have an iPhone 5, my husband has an iPhone 4. We have a laptop running windows 7. Latest iTunes and Outlook 2007.
    We have seperate user accounts on the computer and we have seperate apple ID. The only thing we share is the computer, the music and some apps.
    The problem is that when we sync our phones to the computer it somehow mixes up our contacts and calendars, Thats it. Nothing else gets mixed. It is extremely frustrating. I'm almost certain it has something to do with Outlook but can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem. Every answer I have found says it should stay seperate if there are different accounts and ID. But this is not so. Can someone please please please help me. I'm really sick of getting his calendar alerts, and thinking its my mum ringing when its his mum (both stored as mum). The only thing I can do at the moment is go into my outlook, fix it all up and replace everything on my phone. But as soon as hubbys phone syncs with his user account it gets all mixed up again. Frustrated!!

    Hi limelioness,
    It is a known bug and there is not solution to date. The only option is to not use the same device in different social networks or applications that use contacts. Keep separated Outlook from Facebook or Linkedin.
    There are problems of synchronization between Outlook and other applications that use contacts to sync to mobile devices. In our company we found that iPhone generates some processing of contacts at the time that synchronize with Outlook and other social networks. Mixes the contact data and generates corrupted contacts with other users data. The solution is to use the device only with Outlook, without social networks.
    This problem has happened at least 10 phones and all of them have chosen to use only with Outllook . There is no way to solve this problem, at least so we are told technicians after reporting the problem several.
    I hope this help you.
    Best Regards
    Adele.

  • Contacts and calendar events disappearing and reappearing

    I have three issues, two of which I think are related.
    1.
    My contacts disappear on my iPhone 3G. I am set up with MobileMe to auto sync and I don't know if that is getting screwed up somehow? The contact are on my Mac lap top when I go look (thank goodness), and I force a sync and they transfer to my phone fine. This has happened twice now. I have copied my contacts as vCards and saved that file in the downloads folder just in case they get lost on both my laptop and my iPhone - I also do a regular full laptop backup to my Time Machine - is there anything else I should be doing to back up my contact and calendar data?
    2. (possibly related to 1.)
    When I am looking at my iCal in the weekly view on my laptop, sometimes several of my appointments are not visible. It is only when I try to put an appointment in that is at the same time as the invisible ones that they suddenly reappear.
    3. One of my contacts will not sync from my iPhone to my lap top? It used to be in both places but for some reason it is now only on my iPhone and even when I sync, it doesn't come into my laptop Address Book.
    Help please!!!

    i am having what i think is a very similar problem in that my Exchange (you seem to use only mobileme) contacts partially disappear. i discover this when i check my sms message list and find that many messages show only the phone number when earlier the name was there. a check of the contacts list shows that some have disappeared.
    i restarted the phone and checked immediately but it was still gone but after a few minutes they came back.
    my theory is that something is going on with messy exchange server syncs with my iphone that could be causing the process to break midway but after a while the phone automatically syncs again.
    this issue appears quite rarely for me but enough to be noticed and to be annoying.

  • Any ideas for how to sync to Exchange 2003 - contacts and calendar

    Hi
    I am still searching for a mechanism to give me the sync solution I want, which is as follows:
    At work I have a PC running Outlook 2003 via an Exchange Server 2003 setup.
    At home I have an iMac running Snow Leopard
    In the middle I have an iPhone 3G
    I want to sync Calendar and Contacts across all three machines.
    I want to sync work email between the Exchange server and the iphone, but do NOT need this to sync on my iMac at home
    That's it.
    At the moment I can sync email, calendars and contacts successfully between the Exchange server and iPhone, using the over-the-air Exchange Sync on the iPhone. But sadly my iMac will not sync contacts and calendars to the exchange server 2003 as Snow Leopard only supports exchange 2007.
    Ironically (because I don't need this bit to work) I have managed to get my iMac to sync with my Exchange server EMAIL, by selecting the Exchange IMAP option when setting up the mail account on my iMac (as opposed to the Exchange 2007 option). However, I cannot get iCal or Address book to sync with Exchange 2003, regardless of the options I select when setting up the new accounts in Address book or iCal. I guess these just do not work with Exchange 2003
    I know that I cannot use mobileme as a solution, as you cannot have two over-the-air syncs going on, and I need to maintain my iphone link to the exchange server via activesync
    I also know that using itunes to sync via the cable will not work, as this creates separate contacts and calendar files on the iphone and so does not provide the syncing solution I seek.
    I have tried using google to act as the middle man between my iMac and Exchange server data - getting the iMac to sync to Google Calandar and Google Address Book, and then using a third party piece of software called gsyncit to sync from google to the .ost outlook file on my PC workstation. This works some of the time, but keeps crashing and leaving me with multiple duplicates to have to sort out - much too much hard work on a regular basis.
    So I still do not have a solution. Unfortunately upgrading to Exchange server 2007 is not a solution.....
    Any new ideas out there
    Thanks

    I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

  • Windows Contacts and Windows 8?

    This is a question for people on the operating system team: What is the role of the Contacts Folder in Windows 8?  Do the Contacts sync with the metro People app, Windows Live Mail, or Windows Messenger?  If not, is it pretty much an abandoned
    feature?

    Hi,
    In Windows Live Mail, it will sync Windows Live Messenger contact and Windows Contacts. Regarding People app, it just sync Windows Live Messenger contacts default, it won't sync Windows Contacts on local computer.
    The role of the Contacts folder is same in Windows 7

  • Migration, I put it on a USB drive. How do I install it on my new computer so my contacts and ALL messages come across?

    I used the Easy Transfer application and put Thunderbird on a USB. I am now on the "new computer" and want to load Thunderbird that has all of the contacts and ALL of the past messages folders etc. How do I do this? I tried it once and there were no contacts and only messages from this week!

    did you use the easy transfer wizard to reinstall the files?
    Make sure it has put them in
    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\local and C:\Users\[username]\AppData\remote.
    Make that

  • After iOS 8 upgrade, contacts and calendar strangely syncing

    After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 (and just recently 8.0.2, which I hoped would fix it, but didn't), I'm seeing strange sync behaviour with Google contacts and calendar. Here is what is happening:
    Calendar
    Creating an event on the phone shows up on Google. However, I cannot edit it like I used to be able to.
    Creating an event on Google does not show up on the phone.
    Contacts
    Creating a contact on the phone does not show up on Google.
    Creating a contact on Google shows up on the phone. Editing this contact changes it on Google too.  (this seems really strange to me).
    This is driving me nuts! 

    I have similar behavior. Contact sync with google works fine, not calendar though.
    I connect to Google using Exchange protocol. Have worked excellent before, but after 8.0.2 (I suspect) calendar is only partly synchronized.
    Not all events gets synced from Google calendar.
    I used a workaround and connected to the calendar using CalDav, which is not nearly as good as exchange protocol

  • How do I use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?

    We are attempting to use SharePoint 2010 in combination with Exchange 2010 to implement shared calendars and contact lists throughout our organization.  We are able to connect the lists to Outlook 2010, but have been unsuccessful in viewing
    the calendars and contact lists from our mobile phones.  How do we use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?
    In trying to answer this question, we have come across a few different possibilities, all of them falling just short of a long term solution for us.  After doing research, we found that Active Sync will only show the default folders of the account.  To
    solve this, we downloaded an Add-In for Outlook (CodeTwo FolderSync) to synchronize folders and synchronized our SharePoint list with a new Contact list in the default folder.  The issue we came across with this method is that the Add-In we are using
    is not capable of automatic synchronization.  There is a button and it must be clicked after every update is made, which is not ideal for our solution.  We then went to the company (CodeTwo) and found server side software (Exchange Sync) that they
    offer which will automatically synchronize the folders.  After installing that on the Exchange Server, we now are running into the issue of not being able to locate the SharePoint lists on the Exchange Server.
    Does anyone happen to know how we can get to the SharePoint lists from the Exchange Server?  Has anyone else been able to use shared contacts lists and calendars from SharePoint on their mobile phones using Active Sync?  If so, are we in the right
    direction with what we have found so far?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.
