N8 contact list freeze

Every now and then my Nokia N8 contact list freezes when I try to select a contact fom the list, when starting a call or by accessing the contact list directly. A reboot, factory reset nor firmware reinstalling doesn't solve the problem, it only works temporarily. When the list freezes I am able to swipe through it up and down, though selecting contacts is not possible. I do see a cursor blinking in the lower half of the screen, at the position where the search window normally is. The search window itself is vanished.
Does anyone happen to know how i can really fix the problem permanent?

I used to experience the same problem on the N8, though the freeze isn't only limited to accessing the contact list but happens randomly when swiping through home screens, opening a folder etc. I managed to resolve this problem though I have forgotten what exactly it is. If I'm not mistaken it is due to an installed (bad) application that is causing the freeze. In my case it's the Whatsapp application. The freezing problem seemed to have disappeared after I removed the application from the phone and reintall it back again.

  • IOS 4.2 causing contacts list to freeze

    Hi. My contacts list has really started giving me problems since I installed iOS 4.2. Sometimes the list will freeze completely for a few minutes and then suddenly start working. Other times, scrolling through contacts will become extremely choppy. At times, when I search for a contact, the results will start flickering on the screen. There is nothing that leads to this behavior. The phone simply starts behaving strangely and then returns to normal itself. Is anyone else experiencing this extremely annoying problem and can you suggest any solutions.

    Having similar problems. My phone started freezing on contacts or calls, phone running hot, battery running out quickly. The problem repeated if I did a restore. I eventually had to do a reinitialize and rebuild everything by hand, which seems to have made it work for a few weeks at least.
    Now the issue has shown up on my iPad. There I've tried deleting all contacts (had to do this by telling iTunes to remove them all). But there are still hangs and the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" tab in settings hangs. I don't want to reinitialize it because I have several movies on it that I'm planning on watching tomorrow on a long, long flight. If the iPad works.

  • TS1702 contact list wont open up

    ill go to open up contact list and its just freezes and has to be shut down and restarted

    If you haven't already done so, try reseting your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until your see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.

  • Contact list not showing up after upgrade to iOS5

    Just upgraded to iOS5 now my contact list is blank but the contacts still show up on incoming calls and text messages. I have the iPhone4 and yes I have reset the phone. Any clue how to get them to list again in the contact area? Thanks for any help!

    My contacts were still in place after upgrading to 5, but I could not get into them.  Clicking on a name would just freeze the Address Book.   Some other thread here suggested the "soft reset", holding down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and power cycling the phone.   That solved the problem for me. 

  • Unable to update contact list

    When trying to add contact I get message the screen freezes and after a few minutes the following window appears "Uncaught exception: Application net_rim_bb_messaging_app(113) is not responding: process terminated"
    This happens when attempting to add new contacts directly through contacts list or through call list or SMS list

    Hi wjrs1964,
    Have you recently updated any instant messaging applications on your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9300 smartphone? I would recommend trying the steps in the following KB article. "Unable to edit or create new contacts on the BlackBerry Address Book" http://bbry.lv/JwjOBe
    Hope this helps.

  • Difficulty transferring contact list.

    I have Photoshop Elements 10. I am trying to add contacts for the purpose of emailing photos. When I go to Organizer then Edit a dropdown list pops up with a contact list. I click on the contact list and a Sign in page comes up. When I sign in the entire screen freezes up and I have to shut the computer down to get out of that screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you please share a screenshot of the sign in dialog?
    Thanks

  • Unable to search successfully on Company field in a Contact list - SharePoint 2013 online

    When searching for a company in a contact list, I get NO search results when the line items returned should be abundant.
    I am using SharePoint 2013 Online with an Office 365 E3 license. I am the global administrator as well as site collection owner.
    Since Company is an existing site collection column, I went to its managed property in the SharePoint Administration portal. I went to Search > Manage Search Schema > Managed properties and opened CompanyOWSTEXT in order to click the Searchable checkbox.
    All items were grayed out and unable to be edited. The Searchable check box was UNCHECKED.
    Why am I unable to edit that property?
    How can I ensure that the Company field is crawled and can return search results?
    Thank you

  • HT204266 My apple ID for the App Store on my Iphone is incorrect.  It is the email address of someone on my contact list and not me.  How do I change the Apple ID Password  on my Iphone to my Apple ID Password

    When I go on the App Store App on my Iphone my Apple ID is not correct.  It is the email address of someone on my contact list.  How can I correct this and replace the incorrect Apple ID with my ID?

    Go to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, click on the Apple ID. Sign out. Click again and sign in with your Apple ID.
    Is it possible that this someone in your contact list had the phone and downloaded an app for you?
