Wrong Number is dialed from Address Book

Hi all,
i have the following problem on my BBerry pearl 8100:
I have various international numbers saved in the Address Book and they all get dialed wrong (one zero is removed) from Address Book. For example: 003906505152 is the correct number, but dialing from Address Book will get 00396505152 dialed.
Anyone has ideas? Basically I cannot use the Address Book for itnernational numbers because it is useless.
Thanks a lot!

Try setting your options at Call Log > Menu > Smart Dialing correctly. That is usually the source of most international dialing issues.

As farby said, did you get the updated version AND verify the versions number as explained in post linked to?
AQUOTE FROM THE LINKED POST:
User Expectations & Recovery efforts:
For users who have already unusable devices, we’re continuing to research this situation. There is no guarantee that using this updated version of the tool will recover an already-bricked device. If your device is showing the red Nokia logo, please do the following:
Ensure your device has a good power source (connected via USB cable that can transfer data and charge the device simultaneously)
Close the WPRT, re-open, and take the update to the new version of the WPRT. The new version is1.2.4
Once he new version is installed, re-attempt the flashing process.
If your device is not recognized, click the "My phone was not detected" button and continue the attempted recovery process
If your device is on a blank/black screen and is unresponsive, you may attempt the same steps as listed above. Devices that do not have the red Nokia logo on the screen are in a different state and will not have the same recovery rate should they be recoverable. Please do try to recover and share your results.
So while the cause of the failure is know and the application is fixed there is no guarantee that a an already bricked phone will recover with the new version. Also I suggest you post your questions and results in the linked post as it is most likely the team working on this will post updates and see your responses.

International Dialing from Address Book

I update my address book on my BlackBerry from my Lotus Notes account, which in turn gets company profiles my an intranet app we have. When it adds a person from outside of the US it has a country code, but no + sign in front of it. When my address book synchs with my BB I get the same in my BB address book, which causes a problem when dialing (my BB with AT&T seems to put a +1 in front of the number). Is there anyway for me to get around this without always manually editing numbers first? Thanks.

You can remove the +1 from dialing at Phone call log > Options > Smart dialing.

E71 Cannot dial from Contacts List

With my E71 phone I cannot dial numbers directly from my Contacts List. I have to write number down then manually dial. What have I set wrongly? How can I correct this?

I found the answer myself. Just switch the phone off and on again to make it re-boot. Frustrating but just like a computer! or maybe it was taking it 30,000 feet into the air that cured it!!

Cannot print from Address Book! Print freezes and will not proceed.

I want to print an address list for Christmas cards. When I select the Group, select all and select Print I get the option box. I then select my printer and use the down arrow to open the dialog box that shows I am printing from Address Book and gives the different forms I can use (ie list, label, envelope) as well as the fields to include in the list. Once I have everything selected I click the Print radio button. All of the information under the Address Book options line disappears. Print remains highlighted and my printer Que never opens or appears. If I manually open the printer there is no print job showing. At this point the Address Book application is frozen. I cannot select cancel on the print dialog box (I can click it, but it does not highlight and it does not close the dialog box! In order to get out of this situation I have had to close Address Book. The quit option on the menu does work and Force Quit is unnecessary.
I actually spoke with AppleCare on this issue on Friday 05 Dec 2008. The tech I spoke with knew of no other such situations, but when I started checking on this discussion page I see a posting from REECO from clear back on 24 Sept 2008. His posting can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8161605&tstart=0
The technician had me do several things. One was to pull my Caches folder out of my system Library folder. He also had me remove some Address Book preference items. The end result of these actions was a Mac Pro that would not boot! (The failure followed an Address Book crash with a "KERPROTECTIONFAILURE" and the message that some QualityMedia plugin might have created the problem!)(I could find no such plug in either on my system or via Google search!) The tech had asked me to boot to safe mode by booting while holding down the shift key untill the spinning gear appeared. The machine never progressed to a successful boot! I ended up having to use a 2nd hard drive and physically place it in internal slot 1 on my Mac Pro proceeding to reinstall Tiger! The bad news is that this did NOT solve my printing problem.
If I am attempting to print from a new install with just the Apple address card and the Owner's card in Address book the print proceeds fine. Once I import my data I am back to the same print failure.
Some diagnostic steps I have tried. I have tried USB local printers and bonjour printers. I have used Epson and Canon printers. I have tried to print to a PDF. I have tried printing from another computer (12 inch PowerBook) with identical results!
At this point I am going to call AppleCare Monday morning and see if anyone there has any more suggestions. Any suggestions this forum has will be received gratefully!

I was having the same crash or "just not print" problem as seen in other posts. I was able to fix it however, by making changes in some of the address cards I was going to print. By editing the "parent", "child", "spouse" fields which will get added to the name line of the label, I was able to get labels to print (or pdf preview) without difficulty.
I did not try and determine exactly what the problem was, but basically did a data cleanup. Since I didn't know that those fields would print, I had previously included information beyond just a name in the fields, like birthdates and such, eg. "Jimmy - 12/1/05". After either removing the fields entirely where I didn't really need them, or just cleaning them down to names only, they printed just fine. I'd considered trying to disable the feature entirely but the data cleanup was not hard for a dozen or so names.

Cannot dial from corporate directory

Hi all,
In my IP phones I got the option corporate directory,but after I select any person from that list I can,t dial from the corporate directory list..
Please help
thanks

Can you put the Directory URL into your browser? If it looks like mine, the first URL will be the Directory input page which allows the user to enter criteria to search. That XML will include another URL that generates a Directory Listing. Put that URL in your browser, then scroll to the bottom. Near the bottom, you should see a number of SoftKeyItem instances. One of those should include a line that looks like SoftKey:Dial. It will also need a position specified that equals 1 throug 4 (5 if you use 7975's). If the position flag is invalid, you may not see the Dial softkey. If anything is off when you veiw it in the browser, you need to go into the DirectoryList.asp that generated the XML and correct it.

Dialing from address book

when dialing using phone number recorded into mi address book the prefix is changed by the device, example:
recorded number +39061122334455
dialed number +3961122334455 (without 0)
how to solve the problem ?
thanks

There could be any one of three solutions... Try these:
1. Make sure you set your own country code at Phone Dialer Screen > Options > Smart dialing.
Set your country code in this format: "+xx" where xx = your country code. Some countries have two or three digit Country Codes. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* In the US, set this Country Code as "+1", and place your loca area code in the proper box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).
2. At the same location, change the National Number Length to the number of digits for your country (since some countries will have less than 10 as set as the default in the BB). Find out the total digits, minus the country code. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (plus 3 for country code). You would enter "8".
3. You may have "Content Protection" set on your Address Book.
Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.

How to copy all contacts from Phone Book to SIM Ca...

Dear All,
How will I copy all my Phone Book contacts from the N72 Memory to SIM Card.
Thanks.
D.Mukherjee.

Go to contacts > options > mark all > copy to SIM memory.
The phone will not copy all the data for contacts with multiple entries. It will only copy the 1st line.

Stop adding + when dialing from address book

Hi, I have a Verizon 8830, and I'm currently in China. I am using a local pre-paid SIM card from China mobile and it works fine. Mobile telephone numbers in china start with 13XXXXXXXXX. I stored one number in the address book (e.g. 13888888888, with no country code), but when I open the contact and select call number 13888888888, a plus is added when it calls the number which looks like this +13888888888... of course, this way the phone is making a call to the US which isn't what I'm doing. To get around this, I need to either save the number as 8613888888888, so that when the plus is added, it finds the correct country code and dials the chinese number with no problem, or save the number as +8613888888888.
But I don't want to fix all modify all my numbers, and I want to know why it's adding the plus??? Is there an option to turn this feature off?
FYI, if I [i]dial[/i] the number manually as 13888888888 instead of calling it from the address book, it doesn't add the plus...

E65 - cannot call from address book

I'm mostly happy with my E65 (ie, no random reboots), but I'm having a problem that no one else seems to have complained about:
Sometimes, generally when the battery is at about half full or less, I cannot call people from the address book. Clicking the 'send' button (the green one) or going "options->call->voice call" will do nothing.
Rebooting fixes this, but sometimes not for long.
Has anyone else suffered from this?
btw, how do I check what version of the firmware I have?

Hi.
I have the same problem with the e65 (my phone uses the same firmware version as yours). I bought this phone in India from a Nokia Priority Dealer, and neither they nor Nokia customer support were of any help (except advising me to turn in the phone to the service center for a week for testing). Used to happen about once a day, without any observable pattern leading upto it.
After a few resets and reinstalls, I think I've stumbled upon a partial solution. I had initially installed all apps to the memory card and now I have them installed onto phone memory. The data - images, ebooks, music - is still on the memory card. However, this problem isn't caused by a bad memory card - I've faced this with the Nokia supplied 256MB memory card as well as with a Transcend 2GB memory card.
I did this about a month ago, and the phone has only had this problem once since then. You might want to try this. Please let us know if it worked for you too.
Good luck,
Saurabh.

Cannot dial from contact list

Received new 4S Iphone to replace recently stolen phone. I did sync with my lap top and when contacts loaded to phone the format is different than it was on other phone. No dashes no area code just all straight numbers. When I try to call from my contacts I am unable to call anyone; however, I can manually dial the number and it works. what do I need to do?

Try dialing *228 and then option 1. Be sure to wait until you a get a message saying that it was successful.

Sync put random photos on my iphone 5s as "Events (from My Mac), however now I cannot delete from phone?

These photos now exist in an Album called "Events" (From My Mac) in about 10 seperate folders. When I try to delete them from the phone, the trash can does not highlight, nor does the red minus circle pop up for the album. Also, I cannot delete photos individually.
Futhermore, when I connect my phone to iTunes, iPhoto, or Image Capture, those photos do not show as existing on my iPhone. They seem to be lost in the nether regions of the phone...please help me get rid of them!
Thanks!

Thanks for the response!
Unfortunately, the photos do not exist in the Camera Roll. The Camera Roll now shows 0 photos total, since I have deleted every photo I've been able to. The mystery photos are located in a folder underneath Camera Roll labled as "Events", but I am unable to delete the folder, and when I go to look at the photos individually, I cannot delete them there either. In the Events folder, I did previously have photos from my Photostream, and I was able to delete those with no problem. It just seems that these photos do not want to be removed.

Dialing from address book entries with area codes

All entries in the address book have phones with the area code prepended. Just the area code, not including the "0" before the area code to identify it.
When the iPhone dials a number this way, ZXNXXXXXXX (asterisk format), the carrier replies an error message informing the number is wrong. Both TIM and Claro do that. If an "0" is dialed before the Z, then the call goes through. Adding the 0 to the number is not an option, for it will mess when roaming abroad.
The Motorola, K1, V3 and DEXT (Android - Cliq in the USA), knows how to dial calls without the preceding "0".
Is there a fix to this problem?
Thanks
