N95 doesn't differentiate between numbers

Hi Everyone,
I noticed an issue with most of the symbian phones that i own from nokia, which is that the phone doesn't differentiate between 2 or more numbers that are stored in the phone book, and have the same last 6 digits.
for example:
(+xxx) 555 111 222
(+xxx) 505 111 222
(+xxx) 545 111 222
notice that only the first 3 digits "area code" after the country code are different. Yet the Nokia phone still thinks its the same person in the phonebook. or just displays a number rather than showing the name "which means that the phone assumes the number is saved twice or more" and not knowing that they are different people in different areas, who happen to have matching last 6 digits.
i have the latest firware V 21.0.016
can someone suggest a solution? i have tried many things here, but none worked!!
waiting for your support.
thanks

It is behaviour that's been, as far as I can remember, in Nokia phones "for ever".
Originally, I bet this was done due to the extremely limited processing power and memory in phones (and fewer people with phones, and unlikely clashes with numbers).
Nowadays, of course, neither the processor performance or memory is a good excuse, and the beahviour should be changed to compare the number to enough digits to know for sure that there's only one contact that matches, instead of stopping after the 7th last digit.
However, I have no idea when and if this behaviour might change. All I'm saying is that it has been always there, and still seems to be, and that my speculation as to why it was done like this 15-20 years ago might also be wrong, but at least it is plausible.

  • HT1386 my iphone doesn't import phone numbers correctly

    my iphone doesn't import phone numbers correctly from my address book.  some are imported with the area code separated from the number, as it is in the address book (by a dash or parentheses).  these the phone will dial correctly.  others are imported with all the numbers bunched together, without separations between the number and area code, even though in the address book they are separated.  these the phone won't dial correctly, and I get a message from verizon saying it won't connect with the number as dialed.  how can I get the phone to import the numbers as they appear in the address book?

  • Looking for eMac: How To Differentiate Between Models Document

    Hello,
    I have been trying to find an Apple help document about how to differentiate between eMac models.
    I have found an article about iMacs, but can not seem to find one for eMacs. Here is a link to the iMac article, just so you can better understand exactly what I've been looking for:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58669
    Does anybody know of a direct link to a similar article for all eMac machines? That would be amazing; thank you in advance for any help. =) *april

    Hello Dave =)
    Thank you for your help and for responding to my post.. The article you posted would have completely solved my problem, however, I, unfortunately, do not have access to serial numbers, and the serial number is mandatory for identifying eMac models in the article you posted. I appologize for not being more specific about exactly what I need.
    You see, I am looking on eBay for a good, used, possibly older eMac for my mom. Unfortunately, nobody puts serial numbers in their eMac listings, so I can not properly identify and price compare different eMacs. eBay sellers only list such things as Model Name, Processor Speed MHz, SDRAM and Hard Drive GB, so I need a list to 'check against' like the iMac document. I am mostly trying to find out which eMac models came with DVD players, and also which ones are AirPort ready and AirPort Extreme enabled etc.
    Would you happen to know if there's any such eMac model document?
    Thank you again for posting to my question; I do appreciate it. *april

  • This might be a simple question.   On those sites that do not differentiate between models when on the internet I.e. Facebook when after your comment and you cannot hit "enter" on an iPad for examp. And speed is slow to connect.  What is = to post?

    This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between CRT, laptop, tablet etc. such as an iPad Mini and using the Facebook site fir example when going to post a comment and you do not have a enter button on the IPad and the speed is slow how do you get your comments to post if we do not have a enter button?

Now when i type them in  , the phone only bips once and that's all. They worked before , but i don't know exactly what may have caused this error.

  • Htmlb:tree differentiate between nodeclick and tree node expander click

    Hi,
    how can i differentiate between nodeclick and tree node expander (to get to its children) click in my event processing in htmlb:tree element.
    <u><b>What i am trying to achieve?</b></u>
    Onload just load root node and its immediate children.
    On node expand get the children of the current node and modify htmlb:tree table2 with additional node inofs.
    on node click  call some client function.
    But my issue is that i am not able to differentiate between node expander click and node click in my event handling. Any help on this is appreciated.
    (I am not using MVC)
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards

    After reading your weblog I think I understand better. I did some testing with my example.  I am using the toggle = "true", so that the page returns to the server each time an expander is selected.
    <htmlb:tree id          = "myTree1"
                  height      = "75%"
                  toggle      = "true"
                  title       = "<b><otr>EQI Reporting Tree</otr></b>"
                  width       = "90%"
                  onTreeClick = "myTreeClick"
                  table       = "<%= application->selection_model->itview                             %>" >
      </htmlb:tree>
    However I have not added any coding in my event handler to respond to the expander event.  I only respond to myTreeClick (which loads some data for the given selection).  The BSP tree element itself must be doing the hard work for me. 
      if event_id cs 'tr_myTree1'.
        data: tree_event type ref to cl_htmlb_event_tree.
        tree_event ?= htmlb_event.
        if tree_event->server_event = 'myTreeClick'.
          clear appl->message1.
          appl->selection_model->get_chart_data( appl = appl
                                                 node = tree_event->node ).
        endif.
      endif.
    I pass my entire tree defintion to the element.  It appears that it only sends visible nodes to be rendered. When the expander is selected, I don't have to do anything, the tree re-renders with only the newly visible rows. 
    I tested and turned off the toggle (toggle = "false") and my page took forever to load because it was sending all the nodes to the frontend on the first load.

  • Differentiate between shortcut keys Alpha (keyboard) Enter and Number Pad (10 key) Enter

    I need to be able to differentiate between the Keyboard enter and the 10 key enter (see image below) using a shortcut key in Captivate and/or Flash.

  • How to differentiate between Parent and Child in IBASE?

    Hi. I am working on enhancing a BAPI :BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE by calling the following function module IBPP_CREATE_IBASE at its exit.
    The BAPI is being called from an SAP ME system and will be passing MATNR and Serial Number of Parent and Child materials to create the IBASE in ECC system. I am confused as to how to differentiate between whether a object is Parent or a Child when the BAPI: BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE is called.

    if you have NULL valued fields. If
    you do a compare and one or both are NULL, then the result is always NULL,
    never true or false. Even comparing two fields which are both NULL will
    give NULL as result, not true! Or if you have something like "select
    sum(field) from ..." and one or more are NULL, then the result will be
    NULL. Use always "if field is NULL ..." for NULL checking and for safety
    maybe something like "select sum( IsNull(field,0) ) from ...". Check the
    function ISNULL() in the manual.

  • Servlet filter that can differentiate between Filter and Servlet Writers

    Hey,
    I'm trying to build a Filter and HttpServletResponseWrapper that, when applied to a generic servlet, can differentiate between the output stream from the Servlet and the one from the Filters.
    So, say I have a servlet:
    PrintWriter pw = response.Writer();
    pw.write( "Output from servlet" );
    pw.close();And a filter that is applied to the servlet:
    PrintWriter pw = response.Writer();
    pw.write( "Output from filter" );
    pw.close();I want to be able to do this in my filter that is able to differentiate between the servlet and filter response:
    System.out.println( "Response from servlet: " + responseWrapper.servlet.toString() );
    System.out.println( "Response from filter: " + responseWrapper.filter.toString() );The responseWrapper.servlet and responseWrapper.filter can contain all filter responses from all the servlet(s) and filter(s), respectively.
    Can anyone give me guidance as to how to start with this - really I just need to know if I can differentiate between servlet and filter responses in a generic way (without having to modify the response specially in the filter or servlet files that write output)
    Thanks for your time.

    first thing's first..if the OutputStream if not closed Either a Filter or a ServletChain can write on to the stream.
    There could be cases where the servletoutputstream would be closed at servlet end itself.Therefore,its a valiant effort by acomplishing a responseheader in the response to indicate that.
    Now once the response/outputstream is not closed or flushed out there is not direct way by which you do this unless we indicate using response Headers as flags when we are implementing FilterChaning.
    Hope that might help :)

  • Differentiate between wireless lans

    We are using ACS 5.2 as a radius server for our wireless network. Our current wireless lan is wpa2 with 802.1x enabled. ACS is checking against AD. We would like to setup a new wireless ssid for internal staff that we would grant permission to use. It would be less firewalled, and the staff member needs to sign a form to use it. So two questions..
    1. How do we differentiate between the ssids when the radius requests come in? When someone trys to connect to the internal staff ssid and trys to auth, how can we separate that out from the rest of the wireless connections?
    2. How do we only grant permission to certain people? We would want to add the username to the internal users group, but have the password auth against AD instead of typing one in.
    Thanks for any help you guys can give.

    Hi,
    When a RADIUS request arrives to the ACS it contains the ssid the user is trying to connect to.
    Please  take a look at this document where it explains that the ssid name in  present on the RADIUS attribute 30 called-station-ID:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a00807669af.shtml.
    Using ACS 5.x, you need to create a rule that compares that attribute with the ssid name you want to filter.
    Please take a look at the screenshot example:
    HTH,
    Tiago

  • Differentiate between report and generated scheduled report - report list

    How do I differentiate between a (.rpt) report and a (scheduled generated report) from this report (.rpt with data) when I list all the reports on the server.
    I need this information because when I view the scheduled report, I do not need to set the parameters via the crystal viewer.
    Thanks in advance.
    JM

    Ted.
    I am not sure why the scheduled report is saying si_instance=false.
    So I scheduled the sample report - Drilldown and named the scheduled instance as "DrilldownInstance",
    it created two info objects. One has SI_INSTANCE = true and the other has SI_INSTANCE = false!!!!!
    select * from CI_INFOOBJECTS
    where
    SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Report'
    and SI_KIND = 'CrystalReport'
    and si_name LIKE '%DrilldownInstance%'
    I presume it should have only created one object, and set si_instance=true
    Thanks,
    JM
    P.S
    Sorry to be a bother! but this is driving me nuts!
