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.

Nokia 206 contacts search & arrangement problem

I have bought a Nokia206 last week & I am facing a problem with contacts. When I inserted the sim card, it showed all the contacts alphabetically arranged & we can search any of the contacts among all..
But after few minutes the contacts were all shuffled & were not present alphabetically. Moreover, I can't search any of the contacts. Whenever I restart my phone, the contacts are rearranged automatically for few minutes, but later on the same problem arises.
I reported this problem to Nokia Care in my city(Jalandhar) & they installed a New Software in my Nokia206, but the problem is still there in the phone. All the contacts are present without any order & I can't search any of the contacts from them.
I request you to tell me a permanent solution regarding this problem as soon as possible.

Last week a new SW version appeared for a short time on the Nokia Server...Then Nokia withdrew it with no explanation.
/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=18023
One of the first question that was asked when this new SW appeared was.."Has the search function been improved?"
The answer was.."no change!"
One might hope that when the new SW is release it will address this weakness.
I have to admit that I do not know whether the obvious shotcomings in the "search facities" is a resultof Symbian s 60.3 short coming or Nokia SW design..or a combination of the two.
Nokia produced this application but in my opinion it only helps a bit and is not a full solution.

zayed_honey your phone is faulty and should be taken to the nearest Nokia Care Centre.

Contacts Notes Entry Problem

I am runing 10.8.2 and for the last few weeks when I make entries in my Contacts "notes section"; it does not save everything that was entered and I have to go back and repeat the process.

I got this procedure below from this forum and gave it a try. So far; it has been working OK.
while in Finder and with Address Book not running, hold down the Option key and open the Go menu; select the item Library from that list. In the library folder, go here - Application Support > AddressBook.
In the AddressBook folder, locate the file named
AddressBook-v22.abcddb
and throw it away. Empty the Trash and restart.
I also tried this below:

Problem arised after updated the intel wireless lan

Hello, everyong
My laptop is T510. I just updated the intel wireless lan to the version of 15.02.0000.1258. After the updates, my wireless router was down when the laptop started. Initially it can connect to the router for a few seconds, then the router was down with all the lights going off except the power light. Once I restart the router, everything goes fine, my laptop is able to connect to the router without any problems. So I have to restart the router everytime when I start my laptop. Please help me. How to fix this problem?

Why do you have to restart the router.
Have you checked the computer WiFi profile? Why or what is not allowing the connection.
You could delete the computer profile in Access or whatever you're using and discover, reconnect to it again as if its the first time. It may resolve the issue which is unknown.

808 Pureview contact search not working

Hi, i am unable to get contact search to work even after enabling it on the call screen. adaptive search under settings has also been turned on. can someone help?

Try the soft reset and if that does not help, do a hard reset. But remember to back up your device with Nokia suite.
Hard Reset:
Once backed up, enter *#7370# and when prompted, enter 12345 as the default passcode.
Hope this helps.

Nokia 5800 contacts search problem after phone swi...

Recently bought a new 5800. Used Phone Switch to retrieve contacts from older Nokia, seemed to work ok.
The problem is that ALL NEW contacts added to 5800 memory appear BELOW the contacts list (not sorted) AND cannot be found via contact search. This is very annoying. How can this be fixed?
Thanks.

It sometimes does this.
Unlock the phone, go into the messaging and come back out again.
The "new message" notification should stop now.

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.

After upgrading to iOS 5, I lost my contacts, calendar entries, and Notes on my iPhone 3GS (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

Yikes! After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I lost my Contacts, calendar entries, and Notes (100+) on my iPhone (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

This happened to me too but it was really all there. Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner. Everything should show up!!!
I was super thrilled. Hope this works for you!!

What cause searching network problem after updating iphone 6 from iOS 8.1.2 TO iOS 8.1.3?

what cause searching network problem after updating iphone 6 from iOS 8.1.2 TO iOS 8.1.3?

SSince Apple does not support downgrading the iOS I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

Safari Google Search History Problem

If I google for "This is a Test" in the address bar of Safari for example the Page shows up just fine.
But if I know type "This is" and click the entry from the history Safari tries to go to: "http://this%20is%20a%20test".
Can anyone reproduce this problem? Is there a fix for it?
Thanks in advance!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Contact search process

Hello All,
I am trying to understand the process of contact search.
Is it correct that the normal behavior would be:
- search in Lync adress book (by default in local GalContacts.db)
- search in Exchange GAL (via EWS)
- search for personal contacts on Exchange (via EWS)
and then do a merge of these?
And should the filters applied via ABSconfig also apply to contacts found via Exchange GAL (in my situation that doesn't seem to be the case...)?
I am also seeing a different behavior on Lync 2013 (15.0.4711.1002) and Lync for Mac (14.0.11). Is it possible that Lync for Mac doesn't look in Exchange GAL when doing a search?
Thanks in advance for the reponses, I am quite confused regarding this whole search process and cannot find much information about it.
Gael

I stand corrected. I just read this technet article, https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg429711%28v=ocs.15%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
It seems Lync 2013 gives you results for users that are not SIP enabled as well. It can be changed though. Check the above article on how to limit your search to only SIP enabled users.
"While having full contact records in the Address Book files enables you to use Lync Server to initiate email, telephone,
or Enterprise Voice calls (that is, if Enterprise Voice is enabled on the server) with users that are not configured for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), some organizations prefer to include only SIP-enabled users in their Address Book Server entries."

LR 3 Contact Sheet Caption Problem

I am using LR 3.0 on a Win XP machine. I want to print a multiple line caption below each picture on a multi-row, multi-column contact sheet using the single image contact sheet layout style. I have set up a preset in the photo info panel with the information I want and how I want it to appear below each image on the contact sheet.
My problem is after I have everything set as I want and see in the first page when I select another set of images or another page the preview will only show the first line of the multi-line caption. I have to make some change to any one item in the layout panel such as change a margin or cell spacing or change to another layout and back in the photo info panel for all lines of the caption to appear. If this is not done, the actual print will only show one line of the caption. The multi-line caption worked fine in LR 2.
I have searched forums, blogs, etc for help and have not found an answer to my problem. Has anyone experience this problem and found a solution?
dbmazz

Hi there
Seems like it is a bug - if so you can report it to Apple by choosing Provide Aperture Trial Feedback from the Aperture menu within the program.
Printing seems to be the main thing from prevent AP3 from being useful to me currently, inability to make presets 'stick', border printing around an image even when no border is selected. There's probably more problems in printing but I'm kind of disheartened to use it to find any more, it's cost me a lot of wasted time already.
Take care

What problems arise when syncing the iPad with another laptop with iTunes.

I have to use another laptop to sync with iTunes for my iPad. What problems arise ie. do I lose my music?

Sync with "new" computer
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
That should do it.

Gnome contacts (-search provider) - high CPU usage

Hi, my CPU is all the time on 100% usage by process gnome-contact-search-provider until I kill that process. In few minutes the process is back there and again 100% CPU usage.. my CPU fan goes crazy.
When I run gnome-contacts the app immediately freezes without no error. No contacts visible. And the app was in the past full of contacts.
Any idea what can be wrong?
Thanks for any advice

It seems that working with a lot of Gmail contacts causes problems to gnome-contacts.
Edit: I suspect that not only that after disabling Gmail contacts sync.
