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.

  • How do I view maps on the 6120 classic?

    Hi all.
    I have downloaded Nokia Map loaders and installed it on both the 6120 and the PC. I have also downloaded Nokia Maps and installed them on the Memory card via a card reader as instructed as I am told that the maps can not be installed onto the Symbian phone via a USB connection.
    I have run the Nokia maps program on the Classic first before attempting to use maps as instructed.
    It would appears that the downloads went well because both the installations took a bit of time as the progress bar went across the screen of the 6120.
    When I tried to view maps, all I got was the world globe to load and from there nothing.
    Just as a point as it may have a bearing. When I tried a Maps download via the PC and Nokia Map Loader, I got the usual gray panel with instruction on how to download, but when I clicked 'next' to got to the next phase where I was to select a country or district or whatever I was told that the connection to the server has been interrupted and to try again, and again, and again...you get the picture.
    I found some instructions on the net:
    "After installing the Nokia Map Loader application on your PC, start the application. First, choose the continent in the tab on the top of the application window. Then choose the country. Some small countries can be chosen completely, others have several sub-maps from which you have to choose the ones you want to install".
    I have never seen this panel anywhere! I believe this is the one that is supposed to come after the gray instructional panel as I stated above.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I read that I do not need an Internet or GPS connection just to view maps (and that is all that I want to do) so why can't I view my maps, ANY maps?
    So whatever I have so far downloaded to the memory card (and from memory is somewhere around 60 something MB, could be more, could be less)is at the moment doing nothing for me.
    I really need help here please. :-(
    Regards

    May the "Farce" be with you!

    The 6120 classic puts freshly installed apps straight into the main menu.
    Try to uninstall it from settings>app.mgr.
    Manual removal of Nokia Maps is a pain in the a** because the files are spread all over c:\ with cryptic file names from the smart2go era, most of 'em in folders that you can only get into if you hack your copy of Symbian. It's easier to back up your contacts, messages and calender entries etc., then reset your phone and reinstall your programs.
    Next time you install Nokia Maps (or any other app, especially if it's made by Nokia) make a backup of your phone first.

  • Nokia 6120 classic - Call log icons bug

    Hi to all.
    This is my first message in the forum.
    One week ago I bought a Nokia 6120 classic with brand Vodafone (I'm from italy).
    Everything works great except  the icons in the call log, accessible with the green key (that's to say the answer key).
    In fact, despite the phone numbers are correctly stored (and divided, for each contact, into mobile, home, etc.), the icons in the call lag is always the small blue icon related to a mobile phone niumber, even if  the number does not correspond to a mobile phone number.
    I have firmare version 4.21.
    This is what appears with *#0000#
    v 04.21
    09-10-07
    RM-243
    Nokia 6129c EMS53.02
    Through Nokia Software Updates I see there is a new firmare: v6.01.
    Do you know if this firmware fix the call log icons bug?
    As it is the unique bug I faced, I don't want to go on with a firmeware update if the new firmare do not solve it.
    Unfortunately I can't find on the web a changelog for this firmware.
    Many thanks.
    Filippo

    well the change logs for firmware updates are not public knowledge, they do not get released so in reality you never know what you are getting. firmware update is always recommened as it brings in more stability to the phone, usually fixes bugs, improves speed, sometimes battery performance and other identified issues. the chances are that you will not be able to find a changelog for your phone. you may not be able to update your phone unless it has been approved by voda since your phone is branded it is up to them to release approved firmware versions for thier customers.

  • New Battery for Nokia 6120 Classic

    Hello! What do you know?! Is there other battery compatible with Nokia 6120 Classic??? This one(BL-5B) sucks. 2 days without taking pictures, playing games, listening music, etc, just normally speaking (not much at all). And I turn it off during the night! All my friends have the same problem so that means that my battery has no malfunction, this is how it is made! Please help me! Is there other battery compatible with Nokia 6120 Classic???

    I don't know why they don't make a better alternative.
    It's size, weight and price range that determine which battery they use.
    The 6120c is quite small for a smartphone and it's also considered to be a low-end model with a fairly low price tag.
    Sometimes these compromises are made to release a device into a certain price range to be competitive.
    You are better off searching google or unofficial forums to see if anyone has got a different battery to work as it's never been mentioned here.

  • Nokia 6120 Classic Unable to install Problem

    Hi everyone
    i have purshased nokia 6120 classic and the frimware was 3.xx and i have update it to frimware v5.11 and the islamic organizer was on it but when i update it the islamic orgnaizer was removed form my phone so i have download it form the internet and it say to me UNABLE TO ISTALL so what the problem in my phone
    Plz Help ME
    Thanx
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Dear Islamic Brother, assalamu alaikum!
    i had the same problem with my 6120c phone. the original version in my set was 4.2 and i updated it to 5.11 myself. afterwards Islamic Organizer was not installing. but im glad to find a very simple solution myself.
    Important: All your data and installed applications will be removed permanently. So you should take backup of all your data on phone memory (contacts, calender items, sms, images etc) and though not necessary but in order to be safer - remove your memory card before following these steps:
    - Turn off your phone
    - Press and hold '*' '3' and 'call' buttons, and while holding all these three buttons simultaneously, and press 'ON' button. (this may sound difficult but when you will try to do this you will find it easy)
    - Keep all these four buttons press until your phone starts
    - If you have done it correctly the phone will ask you to enter your country, city, time and date, etc.
    - Go to Menu>Download - refresh the list and download Islam Organiser again.
    - That's all!!
    May we all respect our prayer timings!

  • Unable to connect to Skype Nokia 6120 Classic, sig...

Last month I downloaded skype mobile onto the phone and was able to skype reasonably well (within limitations as I am at a remote location) I left Egypt for some three weeks and on my return the skype application now does not work. I have discussed this with Vodafone and they have resent the settings to the mobile and I have also removed and reloaded Skype. But still no joy it just hangs when signing in until it times out? Skype version is Sybian 1.5.0.12, it's saved on the phone memory. In the advanced settings the incoming conn. port 8877 The Alternative in. ports 8877.
    I can still get the internet on the mobile (eg Google and searches ok) Voda fone tell me if I can access the internet I should be able to access Skype? As far as I can see this is the right Skype download and I got it from the Nokia website. In need of some help please as this little application was really quite good, the other options are very expensive.

  • My new 6120 classic, help please.

    I am new to Nokia, previously i had a WM and a SE phone.
    I like the 6120 classic, but there are a few features I am use to on my previous phones that seem to be absent on the 6120.
    1. The text message templates, can they be customised?
    2. Can I enter a re-occurring monthly event in calendar?
    3. Why is there no 'find' application for calendar. Is there a third party option for this.
    Thanks for any info.

    I've got a 6110 Navigator so I can't say for sure this will work.
    go to the My folders - Templates - Options. Here is the option to add a new template. If you just want to edit one, click on it and the editor will open.
    For the calendar open a new event and scroll down to Repeat and click the center key. You have options here for daily, weekly, fortnightly...
    Don't know about the calendar search function. sorry

  • Passing result list from Contact search to Target group

    Hi,
    I have to pass the result list of Contact serch(BP_CONT_SEARCH) to Target group creation component(SEGED_TG). Can you give me the steps that I need to follow.
    Note: Here the contact structure is different in each component.
    Thanks.

    Yes Srikanth, you need to bind context of result list to SEGED_TG using component controller binding. Let me know if you have questions.
    But the question is did you make a navigation from the contact search result to target group creation or is it a standard functionality ?
    As per my knowledge we can navigate from Profile set creation creation screen or from Trade Promotions.

  • Nokia 6120 Classic Accept button not working

    I have a Nokia 6120 Classic and is not working fine. I have decided to change my mobile.
    Before change my mobile I want to backup all my data and telephone numbers. The problem is that Accept button is not working correct. When I start my mobile I can enter pin number but after this I can't enter the date because I have to use Accept button (the one in the top left). Is there any possibility to skip entering date? This is the only wey to enter mobile and backup my data
    Thanks

    I was going to take it to Nokia care but duh? Should the button stop working suddenly? Without anything wrong also the same with the camera button also I'm not the first one to have this problem right? Then its not our problem but its Nokia's I thought there's another solution, but yeah I'm making angry posts can you just make good products? I see all the people complaint about that button **bleep**, you better not talk while maybe the problem from th company.

  • Does 6120 classic support TV out from the AV 2.5-m...

    Since there is a outlet called "AV connector" on the Nokia 6120 classic, is it possible to use the Nokia AV cable "CA-75U", an accessory of N95, to output video footages to TV ? I would Love to purchase the CA-75U if it has this function. Thanks for any advices.

    Korngear, I beg to differ: the 6220 classic supports TV out and has a 2.5mm AV out, the cable comes with the box.
    As for the 6120c however, there is NO TV out support, as Psychomania said, the hardware to output video is missing.

  • Cannot delete composer field in iTunes - so cannot use it to search my classical music collection !

    To search my classical music collection easily within iTunes, I delete the composer field for all non-classical music.  This works nicely on my Mac and on my old iPod.  However, when I sync with my newish iPhone and iPad - the composer is still listed !  I chatted to Apple support and they said this was known behaviour and not a bug.
    The failure for a composer deletion to sync, means that I cannot easily search my classical music - instead I have to wade through millions of non-classical composers in my collection (I search the non-classical music by using the artist field).
    I think others have had this problem judging by other fora.  I wondered if anyone knows of a sneaky fix, or whether Apple intend to correct this problem - which I'm guessing is alienating anyone who has sizeable classical music collection !
    Thanks !

    I have exactly the same issue.  First for me the issue is only related to songs purchased on iTunes.  Second the field is updated as long as I put something there.  But as soon as I delete it completely (and the same behaviour I have with other fields like track number) iPhone picks up original value.  My guess is that for any blank filed it tries to get the value from iTunes store.  It is extremely annoying as I also use composer filed for classical music only.  The only solution to that problem is stop buying from iTunes store.

  • Memory/software issues with the Nokia 6120 classic...

    Hi. I have a Nokia 6120 classic phone which I bought recently (not covered by warranty) and I'm having problems with the phone on my memory or software part (i don't know which one is exactly). I'm having issues like this for example when I'm to run Opera Mobile 10 on my phone after 2 or 3 sessions of browsing it starts telling me that it does not have enough memory and to close any other applications when non of them are really running at all (not even anti-virus). If I try to open it when for example an application like radio or music player is running it won't even bother to give me the loading logo or something, giving me the same memory error like it does in the previous described issue.
    Another issue of this phone is when I open high quality 3gp videos in real player and I switch it to full-screen the video will freeze every 3-4 seconds, thing that doesn't happen when it's out of full screen.
    Can somebody help me fix these issues? Thank you and good luck.

    Hi.
    In WebCenter Content forum you'll find more help.
    However try to hide the column following this steps:
    Go to Web Layout Editor applet in Administration -> Admin Applets.
    In Options -> Query Results Pages and edit the StandardResults. In text 2 delete reference to revisions.
    If it don't "hide" revision column then probably have to create a custom component.
