Contacts To Memory Card - Z10

Is there a way to change the settings on my Z10 so that new contacts are saved to the memory card and not to the Simcard?

Hi Galoob,
Currently saving Address Book contacts to the memory card is not an available feature. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks.

Importing contacts from memory card

Have recently got new 5800 after mine got wet. The new one is slightly different and I have put my memory card from old one into new phone.
I can't seem to find the right route to import my numbers off my memory card.
I'm sure the card is not corrupted as it had all my music on which automatically transfered when I opened real player.

file manager>double click the memory card>option>copy contacts>from memory card...
this is how i remembered doing it.

Extrovert phone: I moved my contacts to memory card. How do I get the phone to read them?

the only way i can get the contacts to read is if they are on the phone's memory. how do I set the phone to look at the memory card first for contacts?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If your contacts are correctly synced, then as you start to type the address in the address line of an e-mail it will auto complete.
If this is not happening, check that your contacts are synced properly, and that you have contact syncing turned on in your system preferences >Icloud settings.

E52 backup contacts to memory card bug.

I tried to create a backup of my contacts(550) to memory card. While doing so it copies exactly 205 contacts and displays "205 contacts copied,345 contacts not copied". I tried more than 10 times.
When checked in memory card also there were only 205 contacts.
Anybody else facing this issue?
5110->1100->6100->3230->6233->6681->N72->N73->5800->(With E52 I am done with Nokia)

Usually if there is a duplicate entry in the contacts database the name will not be displayed when receiving a call or an SMS, once you hunt down and delete the entry then it will display again. This has been the same in all of my Nokia, if I see no display I know that the NUMBER has been duplicated somewhere.
@tranworld.
I already checked, and no duplicate entries of them. Strange.
Then I tested with my wife's phone, she has 2, 1 GSM, 1 CDMA phones. Those 2 numbers in 1 contact. I misscall my phone using those phones. The GSM is identified well. But the CDMA strangely only show the Numbers, not the contact name.
And the second test, with my dad's phone. 2 GSM in same contact. 1 GSM (which had been used to contact me before) it's ok. It showed my dad's name. But the second number, again, is only showed the number not my dad's name.
So, I thought that E52 failed to identified numbers in same contact, only one number will do. The other numbers will keep unidentified.
I checked also the SIM contacts. Yes, there are duplicates of those numbers, but why first number (that identified well) are not failed also? Why it only happens to second (or third so on) numbers?
Does anybody has some kind of this problem?
btw. My phone is off by itself just now. And it already the 5th time for 7 days i had bought.

Save all contact to memory card?

I have 721 contact and i cannot save all to my sim card so it is possible to save to memory card? I using C6-00 and i just wanna save it for backup only in case

Hi, should be able to do by going here: Select Menu-> Applications -> Office -> File mgr. and Backup.
I suggest you do a back up to a computer if you have one too using either Ovi suite or Nokia pc suite (windows). Isync for mac.

N96 copy contacts to Memory Card

Does anyone know how to copy your contact to the MMC Memory card or internal mass memory (not sim card) on the N96 like you can do on the N95.
I go into contacts and mark all then goto copy but the only option I have on the N96 is copy to sim. My old N95 gave me the option to copy to memory card
Any ideas??
Network T-mobile UK
Firmware 10.065
Custom Version 10.065.256.1
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So basically it's very similar to the N95...
Where you enter the contacts section, press the options at the bottom left of the display and scroll down to select Mark/Unmark and go right via the right centre button to open the drop down box selecting mark all. Which places a tick next to each contact. Then press options again scvrolling down to copy, then across to the right to memory card. then select yes at the prompt
But in the N96 you select copy business card to other memory. The N95 also copies the contacts as these same types of files (VCF).
what would be interesting to find out is the N96 vcf format is the same and compatible with the N95. Bearing in mind that a contact saved as a vcf file from the N95 when read in widows pc is not forced to see all the data available to be viewd on the N95. Moreover and this is bad coding from Nokia themselves their own software suite is unable to fully read the N95 VCF files that you might back up. Thus be warned that the only sure fire way to restore contact data fully is to back up to mass memory then import from those said files directly with the phone.
If you use the nokia suite to back up and restore or outlook there is a very good chance that you may lose some contact data in the process, especially where you have multiple numbers applied to a single contact. This is due to the way the vcf files are read.

Transferring contacts onto memory card

Hi there
I want to sync 1200 contacts from Outlook onto my Nokia 6300. But when i sync my Outlook with the phone, only 1,000 contacts are synced. Is there any way of ensuring all my Outlook contacts are saved on the 2gb memory card in the phone?
Cheers

The limit seems to be 1000 contacts - doesn't matter where it's stored. I had a Sony Ericsson handset (K750i) that had a limit of 500 contacts. Heaven only knows why manufacturers impose these random limitations!

Problems with the memory card, Z10

Hello,
No matter how much data on the memory card, the phone indicates that the memory card is full. I can not bear podcast, video or photo on the map.
The system always says no space is available.
Have the card already deleted or formatted completely. I can remove the card from the phone, the problem still remains.
What should I do?

NOKIA N79 CANT BACKUP CONTACT DATA TO MEMORY CARD

hello,
I am not able to backup the contact data of my nokia n79 to memory card. When performing the above function the progress bar progresses for sometime goes 50 % completed and then returns to the home screen. Tried formatting the phone/MC as well as re-flashed the firmware but no use. Is there anyone having similar issue ?. FYI the phone is under warranty and there is no proper response
from the nokia centre so i have decided to repair it myself. Is there any workaround for this issue ??
Thanx in advance

My question still stands though, if you look in the directory, has it actually backed up all your contacts or not? meaning are all the *.vcf files there.
if not, which file does is the last that was created, find the equivalent in the contacts database, and check if there is something wrong/different with the next contact compared to others?
Yes, there may be an error, but at least until it is fixed you may be able to work around it.
(I presume there is plenty of space on your memory card? note that the phone has a self imposed limit to prevent memory card from being completely full, so if card is very close to full it is possible that backup utility stops)

The Contacts are saved either on the SIM or in Phone Memory ..
..and since the code provided by aspergerguy will wipe user data (as already mentioned in that post)..back-up your important data before the Reset ..

How to move contacts from my Memory card into Cona...

When I connect N73 to my PC via the Nokia PC Suite the Contacts folder as diplayed on the PC shows the same content as the folder with my contacts on my memory card. Yet when I use the phone the Contacts icon displays only the contacts from the SIM card and there seems no way how to make it see the contacts on the Memory card.
I have tried everything I could think of but no joy. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I believe you will need to do this manually for a small number of contacts.
If you have a large amount of contacts, you could export your contacts to a USB stick on your Mac, set up a second user account on a friends Mac running Lion and log into iCloud via system prefs > iCloud,, import the contact from the USB on your friends mac and sync them.

NOKIA 5230 CONTACTS & MEMORY CARD QUESTIONS

Hi, I have hat may well turn out to be dumb questions. Aplogies in advance but not had the phone long.
Firstly, I have installed a new 4GB memory card, is there a way to name this? At the moment it shows as memory Card (No Name).
Secondly I have been trying to work out why all my contacts only show as mobile numbers. bellagio kindly offered me one solution which was to use the Telephone Dialler and create a new contact I would then get a menu offering the following options.
Mobile
Mobile (home)
Mobile (business)
Telephone
Telephone (home)
Telephone (business)
Car phone
Fax
Fax (home0
Fax (business)
Pager
Assistant's number
I tried that but still only had the option for Mobile Phone. I also edited some with Nokia PC Suite but although these showed the numbers correctly as either Home or Mobile they didn't show correctly on the phone.
On reading some posts I came across one about transferring contacts from SIM to phone memory. This said to go to Contacts>Settings>Contacts to display and change it to either phone memory or phone memory and SIM (multiple memories).
When I did that I got several double entries, due no doubt to my having transferred the entries from my old phone straight to phone memory before copying them to the SIM.
I have always preferred to store my contacts on the SIM so that if I change my phone, because for example it goes faulty, I have them already stored.
DONT KNOW IF THIS IS BEST PRACTICE
It would seem, unless someone can tell me otherwise, that storing contacts on SIM doesn't give the same options.
I have my phone set to announce the incoming callers name if in my contacts but I have read somewhere that having dual entries i.e phone memory and SIM can stop this working. Is this correct? In which case which is best phone memory or SIM.
Lastly I have only played around with Voice Command but not had any joy. If for example I say Camera nothing happens.Have tried a couple of other commands but all to no effect.
Any help on any of the above would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Have now edited and copied all my contacts to the phone memory and have the various options mentioned earlier.
Had a thought after that I would still have the entries on the SIM card if I copied across any new entries I create to the card. SOLVED
Tried to rename memory card but don't get the option you mention. With File manager open it shows the Chone memory and E:NO NAME but there isn't anything under Options to rename. Not a major issue as it's not affecting it's working but thought there should be a way. Can't rename either in Nokia PC Suite.
As regards Voice Command, so far I have only tried it in the privacy of my own home so shouldn't be any background noises. When you say your pronunciation should be understood by the phone what exactly do you mean. I am saying the command(s) as clearly as I can.
Thought there might have to be something turned on for it to work.

Import contact from sd card to Z10

Dear Sir
Kindly tell me the procedur for imoprt contact from Sd Card ( V Card File ) to Blackberry Z 10
Manoj

On your BlackBerry, navigate to the VCF file in question and open it... click save to contacts.
I believe you will need to do that for EACH contact VCF file, you cannot import them en masse, the way you are doing this.

How can I get Verizon to return my memory card- There screw up

After screaming about 1x a week with this new pre-paid SAMSUNG phone, I finally was able to get the store to take the phone and replace it. Sadly, I was so frustrated with Verizon for my phone never working, and getting the run around, that I was glad to get the "we will get you a new one".
Wasn't happy that they can't just give me a new one off the wall. (that would be 50 bucks please. (phone was 30 days old).
SO, The guy behind the counter advised me, I would get a new one. Took battery, I asked if things were backed up, and he said "yes", the backup synch was set up. "like OK".
So, removed battery and the lid, and the case I bought for it, took my old phone and said wait for new one. (came in today).
I didn't even think of getting my 8GB memory card from the old phone at the time I left the store.
This was 3 days ago (26th of Dec). Today, my new phone came in, it was not synching, not doing the backup right, and then I realized my memory card was not there.
Nicely called the help desk thinking I was calling the store where i returned the phone. NOPE, got tech support in a different state after 14 minutes of listening to switch witch and running around with button pushing. Just to be told "contact the store diectly".
Headed to store, advised of what happened, and the cheerful guy with hte IPAD, typing your name, pretty much said " to bad". It's goneft
No help. Just me trying to stay calm, after the head-aches with this phone. And now I am out an 8GB memory card, that Verizon, in their haste, never took time to remove (but did the battery), and I forgot to remove it myself.
Now, I want Verizon to replace the memory card. Their phone was bad, every week complained about this phone, and in 30 days, I now had to get it replaced.
I take error in not remembering to get it. BUT, figured the techs behind the scenes would have thought of this.
Anyone know of whom I can contact to ask VZN for a new card? I lost some vital pics and info from my realtor, and have to bite that, but this wouldn't have happened, if I could have gotten some satisfactory service, and I still ended up 3 days without a phone.

I admit, I did screw up for not checking. I was just soo steamed with the customer support and going back and forth with phone and offices in Charleston, SC and here in VA, I was just getting frustrated with this phone that i had for 1 week, and couple with the craziness of the hustle trafflc of customers during the holidays.
Just a lot of crazy here, but my new phone is in, I had to get the service center to reset things, as the backup synch wasn't right, and I will get a new card.
I just wanted a new phone that worked, and oversaw the issues. This isn't the first time I had to return a phone, but last time, it was a slower pace, and no issues, and I reminded myself to get the card out.
Got 99% of my contacts. Just wishing there was somehow to track the phone, and have hope, but it was nothing that was life critical.. And cost of new cars is cheap.
Chalk up to "pay attention".... but oh, the frustration of 6 visits to the stores in 32 days I had that phone. Ahh!
Happy New Year, and thanks for the replies....
