Issues with Contacts on Z10

Hi everyone,
I have some headaches with the Contacts function on my Z10. Some useful advice on how to resolve these would be greatly appreciated:
(1) Some of my contacts repeat themselves massively and at random within my Contacts list. For example, I added my mother to my contact list recently, and yesterday her name was repeated on the list 45 times. This happens very frequently - it happens at random, and can involve any of my contacts. I generally see between 24 and 55 repeats for each contact. It does not matter whether these people have one or more Contact types (e.g. phone, facebook etc), or when / how they were added. Deleting all of the repeats is not always the answer - apart from being extremely tedious to do, the repetition often just recurs at some point in the future (for some contacts it is immediate, for others it can happen again maybe 2 weeks into the future) This is a huge nuisance, since I often have to scroll through hundreds of repeats to find a specific contact (and the further down the alphabet someone is, the more people and therefore repeats I have to wade through to get to them).
(2) My social media contacts do not update on my phone regularly, regardless of wifi / data / cell coverage. For example, my brother is linked with me on facebook, but his fb account does not appear under Contacts, not even within the specific facebook contacts list, and never has (though if I open the facebook app he does show up as a friend). This is the case for several of my fb connections This also happens to other social media accounts: with LinkedIn and Twitter not all of my connections show up in my Z10 Contacts. Also, with those social media contacts that do show up, their specific avatar is often absent in the "Contacts" list. e,g, under my Twitter contacts list, the avatar only appears for around 50% of them (though in the Twitter app all my connections show up and all have an avatar).
I have all of the application permissions set appropriately (to share contact info etc). I am using the latest software version as of today. All apps are up to date according to Blackberry World.
Any ideas on how to fix these two bugs?
Thanks!

Bulk API issue with contact imports

Is the bulk API having validation issues? I can update any existing or create any new imports.
Simply posting the content below from the tutorial now results in a validation error:
"name": "Docs Import Example",
"fields": {
"firstName": "{{Contact.Field(C_FirstName)}}",
"lastName": "{{Contact.Field(C_LastName)}}",
"emailAddress": "{{Contact.Field(C_EmailAddress)}}"
"identifierFieldName": "emailAddress",
"isSyncTriggeredOnImport" : "false"
Here is the error:
"failures":[{"field":"identifierFieldName","constraint":"Must be a string value, at least 1 character and at most 100 characters long."},{"field":"name","constraint":"Must be a string value, at least 1 character and at most 100 characters long."},{"field":"fields","constraint":"Is required."}]}

Seems like an issue with UD_ADUSER_LOCKED field value. Change it to non null value and retry.

10.6 Server, 10.8 Clients (ML) issues with Contacts & Mail

I'm seeing issues with Mail in ML and contacts and our 10.6 server. All users are on a network home directories and using the Address Book service on the server. Mail and Contacts fail/work intermintently when both of them are running. Stopping and restarting either program may solve the problem.
Users of 10.7 clients see no issues. Only users of 10.8 ML have problems with Mail and Contacts. Its very obvious that Contacts and Mail are having issues with each other. I can remove the contents of the Address Book in the local user's library and and relaunch Contacts to run with out problems. As soon as you start Mail problems arise quickly.
While Mail is accessing the address database it will demonstrate long delays.
Any direction or help is much appreciated!

This is a known bug of ML. The operating system is not compatible with AFP home directories. You will notice that FaceTime won't work either. In addition, there are sandbox problems, preferences problems and performance issues.
In my experience, the only possible workaround is to convert all forks and Extended Attributes in the home directories to AppleDouble files and then switch from AFP to NFS. This can result in Spotlight issues, but otherwise, all applications will work fine and much faster.

Issue with Contacts and Calendar on my wife's iCloud account

Hi everyone,
My wife and I have both apple IDs that we used with MobileMe. I can access mail, contacts, calendar etc on icloud.com after transfering from mobileme, but my wife only sees email. No contacts or Calendar there. She has all in her iPod Touch under her ID, and we have them all in both our Macbook Pro and iMac.
Any idea how/why the contacts and calendar does not show up on hers? We share all data, so I have no idea why one would have them while the other doesn't. Maybe because I was the first one to sign up for mobileme? I don't know.
I searched the forum but couldn't find anyone with the same issue... many with apple IDs, but nothing like this.
Thanks for your help!
David

Hi David,
I am experiencing something similar... I moved mobileme to icloud, after completion I thought everything was ok, but now after one hour all my contacts have disappeard... trying to look what's going on

Major Issues With Contacts

I'm extremely frustrated right now. The contacts on my Z10 have been messed up and no matter what I do to try to fix them, nothing works. Contacts are going missing, they are being merged with other contacts, their names are inexplicably changing and my setting for notifications always switch back to default. I put everything back, and it all starts getting screwy again within hours.
I'm running the latest official 10.1 release from Bell. My situation before was that all of my contacts sync with my Gmail Contacts, and this was working more or less fine. Facebook would sometimes override information with the stuff it had, but besides being a little annoying, I could always unlink the profile if I wanted. Since I updated and installed Skype (I uninstalled the Skype preview app and the problem persists), Contacts will merge two completely unrelated contacts sometimes. Other times contact will disappear completely or their name will change. If I try to change it back, instead of changing the information, it creates a "local contact" link and doesn't fix the rest of the contact profile. And no matter how many times I set a custom ringtone, they always go back to "default".
I like my Z10 and I've loved blackberry for a lot of years. But if I can't keep my contacts organized and correct, the phone isn't very useful to me. Any ideas or suggestions (or at least confirmation that this is a known bug that is being worked on) would be helpful and appreciated . Thank you.

The problems you have seem to come from "mixing" the contacts from different sources.
Try to do the following: In the contact list, go to settings. Set all the accounts (Twitter, Facebook, BBM etc.) to off except your email account.
Also, UNTICK the option called "Find More Contact Details".
If you have this options ticked, it will try to "enhance" your contacts with details found in the "Cloud".
Since I have unticked this setting, I have clean contacts.

Issue with contacts

I am new to BB10. I used contracts pro app to wipe out most double listings, but I have noticed on some contacts I might have one email address, or one number--but the one e-mail (same) is listed twice...personal email and other email. Same with phone numbers. It's not on all contacts if that help and not sure why. Is there a way to fix/stop this without manaully deleting and hope the sync does not bring back? Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, the device will link contacts that it sees being the same across your contact list. If a Facebook contact is also in your Twitter contact list then it may link those together and show the associated email addresses. You can unlink them but then you have duplicates in your contact list when you scroll through.

HT204150 iCloud issues with contact sync to iMac

I've gone through all the suggested steps, but my contacts won't load. It's blank. Contacts load on iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro. Just not iMac.

Still struggling with this. Mail works. Calendar syncs. Notes and reminders sync. Just no contacts. In fact, I can't even add a contact. Any help appreciated.

Issues with Contact Pictures: Outlook 2010 and BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.1.0.36

Hi guys,
I have been trying to syncronize my contacts for many days now, with the following problems with the contact pictures:
1) Some contacts simply do not syncronize the pictures: Randomly, some contacts where I add a Picture in Outlook 2010 do not show the pictures in my Blackberry. Even worst: If make a change in any other field, the change in that field is detected, but the former value and value of the picture simply appear blank, even when the contact has a picture in outlook.
2) If I add a picture in Outlook it is first syncronized to the BlackBerry. If I re-run the sync, all the pictures are re-syncronized back again from the BlackBerry to Outlook, but with a lower resolution, reducing the quality of all my contact's pictures. I also syncronize my Outlook to a couple of smartphones from other companies that do display high resolution pictures, diminishing the quality of the pictures displayed in the other devices.
This has been very frustrating, please help.
Thanks,
Marco

Unfortunately, no one from the BlackBerry team has replied (read?) my post. I simply changed the sync options to be unidirectional so that the BB won't replace the pictures with lower quality ones, Of course, I do not use my BB anymore to create new contacts, I do it in my other phones. For those contacts not showing a picture, I deleted the contacts and created them again. I really hope that someone at Blackberry realizes that High Quality contact pictures are appreciated within the BlackBerry users community and that they do something about it.

Issue with contacts and bookmarks

My wife and I each just purchased our own iphone but share a computer. After the first sync, we noticed that my contacts (contacts, e-mail addresses, and bookmarks were transferred to her phone and vice versa. Why did this happen? How can we stop it from happening in the future? Is there an easy way to remove the unwanted contacts from each phone?

You're welcome.
You can create another computer login account for wife. She can enter her contacts only in the supported address book application with her login account, and have her own bookmarks with the supported browser for syncing bookmarks. She can sync iTunes content and transfer photos when logged in to your computer login account, and sync contacts and bookmarks only when logged in to her computer login account.
If the supported address book application supports creating groups of contacts, you can place all your contacts in an address book group or multiple groups, and your wife can place all her contacts in a group.
With the Address Book on a Mac with Groups of contacts, there is an option under the Info tab for my iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to sync selected groups only. If the same is available under the Info tab for the supported address book application on your computer, you can each do the same.
Under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences under the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone. Select Apply followed by a sync. This would apply if creating and syncing selected groups only is supported with the address book application on your computer. After creating and selecting the group or groups to be synced with your iPhone, do this under the Advanced section for your iPhone sync preferences, and your wife will do the same for her selected group or groups. After this replace option, the contacts with the selected group or groups will be kept synchronized.

Issue with contacts not showing in my contacts but show up in messaging

Contacts in messaging show in blue green and grey. The grey are not stored in my contacts. When I text one of the grey contacts it shows the name until I send the text then it switches to just their number.

The grey contacts aren't stored on your phone. That's why it doesn't display their name.
Somewhere up until now, you either a) had that contact in your phone and had a conversation with them and then deleted the contact, or b) sent or received a text that number but never added the contact info. The # is cached in your device (It can be erased if you hit the ! to the right)

Google added as Exchange Account (mail, contacts, cal), issues with contact #'s resolving to Names.

Google added as exchange account (mail, contacts, calendar), all works except contact correlation. Meaning somebody calls me, it's in the contact list but does not show name just the #. Same for outbound calls..search contacts, tap #, phone shows I'm dialing # versus contact name. This is completely goofy. I had a previous emplorers Exchange account working perfectly before I had to delete it. I removed all email accounts from iPhone and started fresh with adding Google as Exchange 'type' account.

Ok I fixed this problem. Within Google under contacts I had imported 1,200+ contacts and they all showed up there, on my iPad and iPhone. But on the phone name and # would not correlate. I discovered that by editing a contact (within Google contacts page) it would mark it as 'My Contacts' in addition to being Imported on xx/xx/xx. Once I did this, magically my iphone call log would display the name of the contact I edited/reclassified as 'My Contacts'. So I reclassified all the contacts as 'My Contacts' and now have full functionality. End of **** story and hope this helps somebody else.

Nokia 6700 - Issue with Contacts Settings

I just got the Nokia phone today and transferred the numbers across via my SIM card. Previously all my contacts were shown with the first name first. Only the first contact on my phone is like this now, the rest are last name first. I've tried changing this through the settings options but it doesn't do anything.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Hazel

Dear Hazel,
Contact names on the phone memory has two fields i.e. Last name & First name. Contacts in the SIM has only one field and by default if you copy the contacts from SIM to Phone, names will be copied into the Last Name field on the Phone memory.

MfE Issue with Contacts

Hi All,
All my contacts on Exchange have categories. This way, I find out when a device synchronizes badly or adds/edits contacts. I noticed that every time I send an email using MfE from my N900 the contacts are edited and sync'ed back to Exchange. When the sync'ing happens the contacts are getting stripped of their category information. God only knows what else they're being stripped of.
Is there a way to stop this happening? The device is also adding contact information for people on the CC list, some of whom are not in my contact list.
Any device that messes with someone's contact information is unacceptable in my book!

Sorry, I still do not get it to produce that bug here. Are the X the same actually? Are the last seven digits the same, only the prefix is different?

Sync issues with Contacts for BB Mac Desktop

Since the BB Uprade Install for the Bold I have not been able to properly sync my device with the Mac. New contacts and edits don't syc at all and notes on any contacts don't update or synce.
Very frusting but I am sure there is a fix. PLEASE ADVISE!!!
Thanks.

I have a Pearl 3G and have had similar problems each time there is an update/upgrade. The one I downloaded and installed this week took a long time, but then the first synchronization would not stop. I eventually had to force it to stop, generating errors. I've had this before.
What I've done previously is cumbersome.
I start with turning off automatic sync.
I turn off sync for most items (contacts, tasks, etc.) and leave only calendars.
I generally have to over-write all the calendar entries on the device or the sync appears to go on forever (hours, even overnight).
I generally start with over-writing only future events, then check the box to include some new and old, increase the new and old range, then eventually sync everything in the calendar. --- Each step requires an additional manual sync.
I then start to sync Contacts, Notes, etc.
BUT ... and this is the very frustrating part ... I have to address up to hundreds of conflicts. This is the part that makes no sense.
I'd like some help and answers on this topic too.
