Identifying separate cel phone names in my contacts

In many cases I have two or more cel numbers within individual contacts in my Outlook 2007. to aid in calling the correct one I have added their name after their number (ie. Tom) in the same field & it synced just fine with my previous HTC WM 6.1 phone & would call with no issues.  It synces with my new iPhone 4 but won't call from the iphone says "can not be completed as dialed".  Is there any way I can do this?  (Note add custom label doesn't work as the next time I sync itdoesn't match Outlook & removes the numbers from there).

They are not Facebook contacts.  The phone numbers are internations phone numbers.

    Check the country of the contact, then use the international prefix number and iOS will sort out the display of the number.

  • Backing up cell phone contacts

    I want to use iSync to back up my cell phone contacts in a specific Address Book group.
    I don't want to transmit any information from the computer to the phone. I just want to pull data from the phone to the computer.
    I tried using iSync to sync my Motorola v710 with an Address Book group called "v710 contacts." When I was done, (1) no contacts appeared in the Address Book group; (2) the two people I call most frequently were somehow deleted from my phone; and (3) certain other people who I never call suddenly had a redundant listing on my phone.
    Anyone know the right way to do this? Thanks.

    There is no 'right' way to do what you want with iSync: it simply does not have this capability.
    iSync is designed so that, within the limitations of an applied filter—such as the Address Book group identifier—both sets of data are equal or identical when the event ends. It has no provision to overwrite the contents of a Mac OS X application like the Address Book with the contents of your mobile handset.
    You will simply have to look for another OS X application to transfer selected mobile handset contacts unidirectionally to a data file on your computer.

  • I have two cell phone, different numbers.  Each has their own apple id.  How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

    Have two cell phones, different numbers.  Each has their own apple id.  How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other.  But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone?  Thanks.

    We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
    Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
    So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
    In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

  • Sync cell phone address book to a separate address book

    I use 2 cell phones for different purposes. One is just for work.
    Is there any way to split up the address book (in my mac) so that when I sync my work cell phone, it saves it to its own separate address book? Instead of merging all my addresses from 2 different phones and the mac

    You can easily create two Groups in Address Book - one for each phone - with different Contacts in, and then choose the relevant Group to sync TO the phone in Address Book.
    The problem is that iSync still doesn't put new Contacts created on a phone into the designated Group in Address Book when syncing back FROM the phone. All new Contacts created on the phone will go into the All group and you will manually have to organise them into the required Groups in Address Book.
    The only other way to do this is have separate user accounts on your Mac, one for Home and one for Work which would have separate Address Book databases, then sync the relevant phone from within the relevant user account.

  • Is there any way to contact verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question?

    Is there any way to contact Verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question?  I prefer e-mail so as to provide details (like I am trying to provide here).  I have tried in-store personnel (no help at all) and the web chat - they just want to see me more data instead of helping me with my basic problem!
    I CAN NOT GET ANYONE FROM VERIZON TO GIVE ME ANY HELP NOR CAN I FIND A WAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT.  AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT TO DROP MY VERIZON ACCOUNT BUT I'M SURE THAT IT WILL COST ME A SMALL FORTUNE TO GET OUT OF IT.
    Here is my issue:
    Chat transcript removed as required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service
    BELOW IS A SCREEN COPY FROM REDDIT ABOUT SOMEONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A VERIZON CELL PHONE
    So last night my RAZR MAXX HD did something totally bewildering by spontaneously downloading 2.6 GB of data over the course of ~ 3 hours. Fortunately I was able to catch this problem before it ended up being really expensive, but I still exceeded my 2 GB data plan by 600MB.
    The Culprits:
    Reddit News Free: 160 MB foreground / 0.96 GB background
    Android OS: 0 MB foreground / 1.18 GB background
    Several unnamed applications: ~ 350 MB
    Screenshots:
    The massive data spike
    Android OS data usage
    Reddit News Free data usage
    Weird unnamed processes
    Detailed timeline:
    5:12 PM: Incident begins according to VZW data usage website (2.60410 GB used). This is around the last time that I used my phone at the laundromat before getting dinner and watching Game of Thrones.
    8:04 PM: 50% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    8:31 PM: 75% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    8:58 PM: 90% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    9:13 PM: 100% of data allowance used (txt msg)
    10:05 PM: Got the text messages and immediately put the phone into airplane mode
    10:30 PM: Took screenshots
    10:45 PM: Enabled wifi, installed Kaspersky premium. Scan returned no threats.
    11:00 PM: Left phone in airplane mode, went to sleep.
    The questions:
    What was the root cause of this issue? Did Reddit News freak out as a result of an esoteric bug or was my phone hacked?
    If this was a simple Reddit News bug, then why was the Android OS also trying to use such a massive amount of background data?
    What the hell are these unnamed numeric applications? I've inspected my process history and this is the first time they have ever attempted to use data.
    I'm pretty sure that I can explain this situation to Verizon and get out of having to pay additional data usage fees, but I would like to know more about the problem before I get in touch with them.

    All I can think is your phone may have background downloaded an OTA update, and you'd then be prompted with something like, "As update to your Android system has been downloaded, would you like to install it now?"
    I do find it very odd that the update would be 2.6GB. As a rough base, the CyanogenMod 10.1 firmware for your device is well under 200MB, so unless Verizon has a ****-ton of bloatware in the update, or it had to attempt to download multiple times for some reason, it may be a stretch.
    But doing a little homework, it looks like the Verizon Razr Maxx was updated to 4.1 in late March. Maybe they're still rolling it out in waves? Have you gotten the update yet?
    Edit: Aaaand I just noticed you appear to be running an AOSP-based ROM, which totally rules out a carrier update being sent out.
    Edit2: If you want to live dangerously, you could try running:
    #kill -9 12289
    That 12289 is the PID listed in your screenshot. But don't run that without fulling understanding the kill command.
    The ps command could also be of use, but probably not.

    I can confirm that the phone is currently at 4.1.2 and that I wasn't prompted for an OTA update.The fact that both the Android OS and Reddit News processes were simultaneously using an extremely large amount of data is unlikely to be a coincidence...

    That is very curious that the spikes happened at the same time.I'm curious. It may have put at least some of that 2.6GB somewhere. You could use a data visualizer tool to see if you can find it, which may lead to more clues.

    The largest directories are:
    DCIM: Normal looking photos (90,825 KB)
    Android: Primarily map cache data (64,846 KB)
    If it was downloading content then it did not significantly save content to storage. It's not like I have anything particularly sensitive on the phone, but the idea that it was uploading a snapshot of my data definitely makes me uncomfortable.

    Yup, Digital Camera IMages and videos.Somewhere in /sdcard/Android would be my guess as to where a mysterious file would be downloaded, but if it's only 64MB, and mostly map data, I'd safely rule it out.I'm sorry, but I'm stumped here.Edit: I should mention I don't think this is malware, because unless a malicious app gained superuser access, any data it used would show under it's own apk in the data usage list, not Android OS.

    Although I'm not really up to speed with the Android platform, I come from a UNIX background so I feel comfortable running commands. How do I pull up a bash terminal? Do I need to root the phone first?

    [–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 2 points 1 year ago
    There's a number of terminal emulators in the Play Store that work well. You don't need a rooted phone to get to the shell as your user, but any privileged command won't execute unless you can grant it permission from the Superuser app that is installed when you root the device. So you could probably do a ps -e, but not a kill -9.

    Got it. I downloaded a terminal emulator but unfortunately those processes no longer exist.Does Android keep a generic log of system level events like /var/log/syslog?

    [–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 2 points 1 year ago
    I don't think so, and I know you'd need superuser permission to read most of the files in /var/log anyway. I'm not super familiar with how Android does its logging, but I do know that the two files of interest are the logcat and dmesg.

    Want to mention here that using your settings to set your data cap (set it on your billing day), then you won't go over again.Those text messages are really unhelpful, as they send out well after the data has been used. Chances are good you hit close to the 2GB mark before you received the bulk of the messages.

    That's definitely not the case here; both my PC and and Android phone are free from pirated apps.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

    I plugged in my husbands iphone to my laptop and synced it to mine.  I used my own apple ID. Big mistake.  Now he has my name, email address,contacts etc on his phone and lost his... how do I correct this?

    You'll have to set up his mail account again. To change the name, follow this article: iTunes: How to rename your device
    After that right click on it in the device list and choose backup. A manual backup will be made, no sync process is included. When the backup is finished you should find it listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices

    "Your options are:

    Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
    "Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
    The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
    I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
    Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.

    why is Messages now showing phone numbers instead of contact names.  any ideas?

    Check to see if you have contacts in your Contacts app. This is something that can happen sometimes, and is usually cured by resetting the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. No data will be lost.

  • I have a Verizon LG Versa cell phone, how do I get my contact list from there to my new iphone 4?

    I have a Verizon LG Versa cell phone, how do I get my contact list from there to my new iphone 4?

    Matt,
       My new iPhone 4 is on the way from Verizon, and I too am moving on from the LG Versa (a poor man's iPhone) so I've researched this.  I trust you have been using the backup assistant on the LG phone to backup your contacts?  If so, and you investigate the app store you will see an app for doing the same task on you new iPhone.  Initially it will take you LG contacts you have backed up at Verizon to their new home on the iPhone.
    According to user comments there appear to be a couple of issues with the app you need to be aware of:
       1.  It will not automatically backup your iPhone, you will need to initiate updates in the future on your own.  and
       2.  You will see in the comments, that there have been some issues with length of backup when you add lots of contact photos to your list.
       This coupled with the address book sync from your computer should make your list whole, in fact the move to the iPhone will allow me to consolidate my address book with my cell phone contacts.  Then once I remove the duplicates all will be right with the world.
    Steve

  • Phone won't show contact name in recents list

    Phone won't show contact name while somebody call me, the same is in recent list under number is unknown. I already reset my phone and try to make new contact when somebody called me and it isn't work. 

    you have entered the number in the wrong format. There should be no zeros.  IF you were entering my number then that would be +617 XXXX XXXX with the + being the international dial out code and 61 being the country code  7 the area code without leading zeros and rest being my number.
    If someone wanted to call me from insider the country but from another state they would dial 07 XXXX XXXX but the international dialing format would still work.  Note that the 0 in the area code is not used in the international dialing format
