Nokia 5230 two page keyboard to search contacts

What I always found quite annoying is the keyboard in portrait mode (the one with letters). When you open the contact list from the start screen, the keyboard only has the letters a to o, the letters p to z are on a second page.
But whe you open the contact list when you type a new text message, the keyboard has all the letters on one screen.
What's the difference? Is it a bug? Can I solve it myself?

Can't Nokia solve it? It's possible! And the weird thing is that they did it correct in the contact list from the messages.

  • NOKIA E51 - Is it possible to search contacts in a...

    I have a new Nokia E51, very great device, but I have to manage 2243 contacts (!). The (new) actual searching contacts way is just crazy for me: if I try to write the word john... the phone shows me hundreds of contacts with that part of word.
    I'd like to know if there is a way to set the phone so to search contacts using names in the usual alphabetical order: just writing the first letter, than the second ,the third, and so on?
    Somebody on this forum suggested to use Text-Quick (http://mind-flip.com/textquick/index.html) but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in that way, but just keeping memory of more searched contacts.
    It is really really annoying the way it searches.
    Help please!
    Somebody else on this forum said It is a bit counter intuitive at first, but once you get used to it the wider search is actually much better than the first name search (particularly if your memory for names isn't too great) but what you can do if you have thousands of contacts?
    There will be soon an alternative option in the contacts settings for next E51 firmware?
    Thank you

    You wanna know the weirdest thing...
    In my E51 it DOESN'T search for any string even in the middle.. it only searches alphabetically on the first name or the last name. But not something in the middle.
    HOWEVER, other applications that show the contact list, such as Fring, *DO* search on any in-between string.
    So apparently the phone can do both.. I don't see it as a setting though.
    As a personal preference I think I would prefer being able to search for any in-between string.. I mean to me it just seems like a natural transition from the old days when contact names were in SIM memory and you only had like 8 characters to enter someone so you ended up with loads of "John K", "JLee" and other cryptic but short names.
    These days I would recommend that if your contact is called "John Samolowicz" to actually spell that out in the appropriate fields. Then you find someone instantly by searching for something more unique than his first name...
    AND/OR use the 'Groups' feature: If you put people in groups then simply moving to the tab to the right from the contacts list would give you a much reduced list of people in a particular group; Don't tell me that you actually CALL 2000 people on a regular basis..
    To search middle string, use the SEARCH from OFFICE Folder. You can find on the Contact part of search result.

  • Nokia 5230 - Issues in adding Contacts to message

    Hii,
    I bought a new Nokia 5230 and transferred all the data(contacts, messages etc) from my previous phone. I am facing some issues to send message. 
    When I add a contact from my phone book to the 'To' field, the contact is not getting added.
    That is, I opened New Message option and clicked on 'To' or the contact button on the bottom, I get Contact list. But if I select any contact from the list, the list gets closed and no contacts get added to the To field.
    I can send message by entering the number directly or by going to Contact list from the home screen-> Select the contact -> Select Message option.
    I had issues in getting message, but it worked after restarting the phone. I have some other applications which lists the contacts list, but the application crashes if I select the contact detail.
    I am using the latest version OS.
    Please help me.
    Thanks,
    Arun

    if you are using another apps for contact list, may be conflicting with native phone's contact list app.
    Remove that app and see if there is any improvement

  • Illustrator CS3 - Double sided Business Card in two pages PDF

    Hi,
    How do you create a double sided business card in Illustrator CS3 and be able save on one PDF document with two pages? I know how to create a single sided business card (90 mm x 55 mm with 5mm bleed) and save in PDF without any problems. I'm now trying to create a two sided business card in the same illustrator file and be able to save as one PDF but with two pages.
    I searched a bit and tried playing around with page titling but the result just isn’t working out (the size of the business card in the PDF is too small).
    Any help would be really appreciated!

    I downloaded CS5 trail and it resolved my issue. So much more easier to create a two sided business cards and save in PDF.

  • Searching contacts for making calls very difficult...

    I just found a quite annoying issue which could be easily fixed by simply moving some UI stuff around. 
    When you want to make a phone call, you click on the phone app (phone icon) and you see the phone calls history list together with few buttons. I want to find a sample contact name, let's say 'Chuck Norris Junior' I click on the search icon, type 'Chuck' but as a 'Chack Norris' is my good friend and I call him regularly, there's like 300 history entries named 'Chuck Norris' which show up and I need to scroll the whole list down to finally see the 'Search contacts' link. 
    this is very annoying - to the Nokia TEAM - please consider moving the 'Search Contact' link to the top of the screen so it's before the call history list and not on the bottom of it. This would make searching contacts much easier in many cases!

    hmmm I could use People.. I suppose.. Just realised there's a phonebook icon beside 'search' one which gets you to the people app. The 'search' one was just the most intuitive way of starting searching contacts..
    But to be honest I got rid of the People app from my home screen and would ideally totally remove it if I could, I really don't like the fact that all my recent activity is listed there and can't be removed. Eg I browse someone on facebook or talk on skype and this person automatically shows on top of my 'recent' list! that's very annoying if you don't want your whole activity to be tracked and displayed. 

  • Nokia 5230 v40.0.003 - Contacts Bar Missing

    Hi there, thanks for reading.
    I have a problem with my Nokia 5230. I've had my phone about 9 months, and I've been very happy with it. Today I finally got round to installing the v40.0.003 firmware update.
    All went well except...
    Ovi Maps not updating (which I can live with)
    The contact bar disappearing from the home screen (which I can't)
    Searching the net found a few people with the same problem, but no solutions. I've seen mention of the appearance of the contact bar 'changing' but no definition of what this change actually is.
    Here's what I've tried so far:
    I checked the home-screen settings, it's still on the contacts bar theme and contacts bar is checked on the relevant screen.
    I've tried changing to another theme and back, both with and without restarting the phone.
    I've tried reinstalling the new firmware.
    I've tried a soft reset
    I've tried a hard reset
    I've even tried a hard reset without the sd card followed by a re-flash.
    I restored the full backup from before the update, which put most things back the way they were before the resets, but the contacts bar is still missing.
    It's a feature of the phone I use a lot so I'm not happy about losing it.
    If anyone can offer suggestions as to what I might have missed, I'd appreciate it. Just hope I'm not S.O.L until the next firmware update. (If it's relevant, I'm on Orange PAYG, and have access to my Fiancé's 5230 which is still on 20.0.005)
    Thanks

    Yes, the Menu>settings>personal>home screen>home screen theme is set to contacts bar
    in Menu>settings>personal>home screen>home screen both contacts bar and shortcuts boxes are checked.
    Prior to v40 I had a total of 5 contacts stored on the contacts bar and have been using it ever since i got the phone last year.
    I wish it was as simple as needing to turn it on, but I did undertake basic troubleshooting (and more) before starting this thread as my first post shows.
    I'm not the only one with this problem on orange either (x6 but same symptom)
    /t5/Xseries/x6-contacts-bar-gone-software-prob/m-p/873775/highlight/true#M7504
    Orange include their own fugly homescreen theme in their custom firmware so probably don't care if they break the other ones.
    My Fiancé has a 5230 as well, she doesn't use the contact bar (so wouldn't care if it went AWOL) so I might upgrade her firmware as well to see if the same thing happens.

  • Contacts list edits through Ovi Suite, Nokia 5230 ...

    After I imported the contacts from the SIM card to the Nokia 5230 phone memory. All the names appear as Last name. I want to change this globally without having to go to each address and copy pasting the contents. If the address book were able to be imported to a .csv format, then I could just use Excel to do this manipulation. Does anyone know whether such thing can be achieved through the Ovi Suite. I tried to address this at the Nokia care. They seemed to be from Mars.
    Also the contacts search in the Nokia 5230 does not follow common logic. Despite setting to show names by the first name it still shows by whatever it thinks. I have shown this to the Nokia care at Abu Dhabi where they told me that it shows the same in the phone that they have too!

    Download and install the Nokia PC Suite..

    You will be able to save the contacts in .csv format...

  • I have not upgraded to ff 4 but when I now search for an image online it will only show me the first two pages

    Then there are seven pages of empty grey squares ( where the images should be ) and scrolling down to the bottom there is a button which has `show more results` written on it, this happens every time I do an image search. I have done the same search using `internet explorer` and there is no problem finding thousands of pages of images.

    Finally Ive found a solution !!!!.
    Open your browser, click images and search for any image, when the images appear (probably only two pages of them) scroll right to the bottom of the page and click `Switch to basic version`. Problem solved!!!!!!.

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

    Hi Josh,

  • Nokia 5230 - Wish List for Next Firmware Upgrade

    heya guys,
    I'm using Nokia 5230 with the latest firmware, V 12.0.089.
    The following are my wish list for the next firmware upgrade:-
    1. Messaging > Sent Items: Please include short cut icons to Forward, Create New and Delete as in Inbox.
    2. Log > Recent calls: Unnecessary option for Call > Voice Call.
    3. Settings > Personal > Themes > Call image > Theme image: A bug with certain 3rd party theme (e.g. JustBlack - 5th theme). During lock mode, screen is totally blank during calls & alarms.
    4. Settings > Application mgr. > Installed apps.: Too much application will cause an error of "Application Manager Memory full"  and auto exit when selecting "Option". During error, phone memory is around 25MB, Memory Card is around 2.5GB/4GB.
    5. Ovi Map > Drive / Walk > Set Destination: Please do an icon based UI for History, Favourite, Search & From Map. The list is to small to click on to (when driving) :-)
    6. Organize > Please include multiple selections. E.g. Mark/Unmark > Mark / Mark All. Easy to move multiple applications at once to any folder.
    That's all for now i guess. By the way, Nokia rocks!! 
    Thanks in advanced.

    Please integrate swype for messaging in the next firmware of 5230. Also kinetic scrolling for messages and contacts. If possible the homescreen of symbian^3.

    It's Android®...
    There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both availabe in the GooglePlay store. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

  • Nokia 5230 Email notification setup

    Hi,
    I have the Nokia 5230 and it seems to keep asking me to setup my email. I have the email setup already; but it sporadically keeps requesting that it have access/user rights to setup the email. How can I fix this issue and cancel the notifications?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    I have a Nokia 5230 with some technical problems. I would appreciate help and advice to solve the problems. They are:
    1. Email setup
    When I first bought the phone I setup my email on Nokia 5230 successfully in July 2010. Nevertheless, at that time I deleted it after that. Later I installed Kaspersky Mobile Security trial version on my Nokia. 
    Then in Oct 2010, I tried to setup my email again, and till today, it doesn't work. I went to setup wizard, email setup, and email, put in my email address and password, but it is never successful in setting up the email on my front page. I have since deleted Kaspersky Mobile Security, but the email setup still does not work. How do I get it to work?
    2. How to use voice command
    I would appreciate some advice how to set up voice command on my Nokia so that for example,  I can just use my voice to say a name on the contact list and it will automatically call that person. 
    I would also like to setup the voice command so that I can use my voice and say Menu, and the menu will pop up. Any help in this will be much appreciated.
    3. Sim card memory is always full
    I do not know why the Sim card memory is full sign always blinks on the top right hand corner of my Nokia. How do I clear the memory in my Sim card? I have deleted most of my contacts saved on the Sim card memory, but the signal still blinks. 
    Thank you.

  • Nokia 5230 would have more functions!

    Hello Nokia, I want to give you some ideas. Don`t you think, that would be better, if:
    Nokia 5230 have Flash Lite 4, faster CPU speed, like 500 Mhz, better support with Symbian^3 programs, MPEG-4 codecs and .avi support. If you do that, the phone would be more popular and more handy than NOW!
