Nokia 6280 failure restoring contact list using pc...

Hello,
I own a Nokia 6280. Firmware - v3.81
OS: Win XP.
I took the phone to my local phone provider(partner orange, from which I bought the device) to update the phones version. This action has deleted my entire contact list.
Beforehand I made a backup using the pc suite back up feature, and the backup went smoothly. Now, when I try to restore my info using the restore function in the backup(content copier),it restores everything except the contact list. Somewhat in the middle of the resotration of the contact list, an error jumps saying the connection to the phone has been list. A few seconds later the connection restores automatically.
I tried solving the problem using this thread:
http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=pcsuite&message.id=7746&view=...
But it didnt quite work
What can I do to solve this problem? How can I restore my contacts?
And if not, Is there a way to convert the Backup NBU file into Outlook VCF format?
Best regards,
Uri

I've got my entire contact list on the backup file.
except notepad can't disipher the the names into english, and so cant hexedit's of their sort.
Example from the notepad of the backup file:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0 /*jibrish should be the nemes*/
N;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE;CHARSET=UTF-8:׳’׳ ׳¢׳“;׳¨׳‘׳™׳ ׳ ;;;
TEL;VOICE:*phone number*
TEL;HOME:*phone number*
TEL;HOME:*phone number*
TEL;HOME:*phone number*
TEL;WORK:*phone number*
END:VCARD
note. *phone number* replaced by me for confidentiallity.

Then try restoring again.
I tried to recover the phone as soon as I recieved it from the phone provider with the new v3.81. That is , the manufacturer's settings were the default. Unfortunantly that didn't work.

Nokia 6600 Fold SIM Contacts List

I've just purchased a Nokia 6600 fold and I'm trying to configure the settings of my contacts list. My contacts are currently listed as per the example below:
Citizen;John/5
However, I want them to display like this:
John Citizen
I have been into the settings and chosen to display First Name First, but my contacts are still not displaying as I want them to. What am I not doing, and can I fix this problem?
BTW, what does the number represent?

As a new member, Hi All
I hate to open an old can of worms but reading the history of the endless problems people have had with the 6600 fold, I wondered if there has ever been a happy outcome.
I realise the 6600 fold is now an old phone, but I have been using Nokia since the original 101 and like their products, this one really suits my needs.
However I have the intermittent crash that I read about so much on this forum. The double tap cover display fails, the electro magnetic fold realise fails and the numeric keys fail, plus various other features die. I have done all the usual home remedies using the Nokia suite like reinstalling software etc, checked battery voltage and so on to no avail. The only answer is to power off and on again or sometimes remove the battery.
I have taken it to two different Nokia care centres (LOL) nether were able to identify the fault (one down in Cornwall charged me £25 to tell me they could not find the problem).
Can anybody put me out of my misery please, as you can see I really like this phone and want to keep it going
Thank you

Restore Contact List

Hi,
A week back, my contacts (not BBM contacts) started getting wiped out. I was told that this is a software issue and thus got my software upgraded. I have also taken a backup of my contacts on my e-mail, but i'm not sure how to restore them. Can someone please guide me on restoring my contact list from my e-mail account. The device (9700) has automatically restored my BBM contacts, but i need to get my Contact Book contacts back.
This is urgent.. i've lost all my contacts, so a prompt reply will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Simran

Assuming that you made your backup using the Desktop Manager, you simply use the Desktop Manager again to restore it. In version 5.x, select backup and restore, then restore, then selectively restore your contacts (might need to go to Advanced to do this).
In DTM 6.x, select Device, Restore, then selectively restore your contacts.

Nokia C7 Dialing from contact list

I'm having problem dialing from contact list and recent calls. I can only makes calls when dialing the numbers. I can receive calls. Texting works fine from contact list and recent calls, but voice call can only be done by dialing the number .Phone has to reboot everytime it happens.

Hi Remembranze,
First of all, check via Nokia Suite and on the phone itself for any firmware updates that may be available. IF there is an update, please update to the latest version offered. If there is no update, then try re-installing your current firmware via Nokia Suite. Failing this, try Restoring your phone to factory settings, and if this doesn't work, then you try performing a three finger hard reset. Failing this, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to inspect.

How to create global Contact list using OSX Server Contacts Service?

My goal is to create a global contact list for the use of my department at work. We currently have 5 MBP's and a Mac Mini Server running OSX Server.
I have read so many forum posts and so called "solutions" that my head is completly spinning... like a record... right round... you get the idea.
I talked with Apple Support, and they are going to walk me through the process of changing our network from "local" to a legitimate internet network. Enabling DNS and setting up open directory are some of the steps, and all in all i was impressed with the support i received. We did a complete walkthough of all the steps it would take to change everything, without actually making any changes (because I could not shut down the company server at the time I called).
All that being said, I have been reading that actually creating and sharing a global contact list (and enabling specific user access for read/write for said list) is not as simple as Apple is telling me. I have read so many horror stories about not being able to edit the list, having duplicate lists and entries, and many other problems. It seems that this "Contact Service" is not really what its billed as.
Im just looking for someone who has this already setup to shine some light on my questions/concerns. I have scoured the internet for information, and either i'm looking in the wrong place or I just happen to have the WORST possible combination of OS X versions, server versions and so on. I would expect a company who charges such high prices for its products to design them to ACTUALLY WORK how they are advertised to work!
Thanks in advance and a thousand kudos to anybody that can help!!!
-John

That sounds like one viable option...
The only problem is that I'm not sure how that would behave once the client MBP's are taken off site and connect to the network over a VPN or something of that sort.
I figure since we have purchased the Server App and it contains the Contacts Service, I should try and get it to work that way (through that specific service on the server app).
I would really prefer to not have to install yet another piece of software just to do something that should already work (or have the ability to be configured to work). None of us here are "Power Users", and we are all learning as we go and I got the role of the "IT Guy" when it comes to setting everything up. I'm dealing with lifetime Windows users here, and I feel there is a need to keep everything literally as easy as possible to use.
I will keep your solution in the front of my mind though, as it sounds like that may work. I am not exactly 100% familiar with the OSX Server or the Mac OS yet, and I'm not positive where you would add the users (I couldn't just sit down and do what you suggested, i unfortunately would need a step by step solution so I don't fuss up our entire system).
If you feel like giving a step by step, that would be awesome just for future reference or for anyone else having similar problems. If not, I don't blame you at all.
Thanks for your reply, and if I find a clear-cut solution I will post it here!
Thanks,

HT4623 How to restore contacts list after upgrading to iOS 7.2

How do I restore the contacts list I had on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to iOS7.2? The folder is completely empty/ Thanks

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program/service that you have selected to sync.
If you have failed to sync them to your computer or cloud service, then they are gone.

How to order the contact list using first name alphabetically

I have just imported my contact list and it has organised them elphabetically by the second name even if this does not correspond to a surname. for example kate Mobile comes up under M, and kate Home comes up under H. as most of my contacts are eiether stored as home or mobile this is useless.

Settings>mail, contacts & calendars> scroll to the bottom and choose both your sort and display order.
Though it would be better to just make one entry for Kate Doe and list all her phone numbers there.

Restoring Contacts by using OviSync

Hi all,
I just got my phone from Nokia center due to unable to register SIM problem. It has been fixed.
Before I send my phone to the Nokia center, I've created (1st time) Ovi account and sync my contacts in my phone to my Ovi account. (Note that I did not sync it with PC but by using OviSync only).
After I've got it from the Nokia Center, I use the OviSync function to restore my contact. All my contacts return but some contacts seems to be over-lapping (some contact has 2 numbers which originally they had 1 only).
So I decided to Mark all contact, delete them all, and resync again. But this time, my OviSync failed. 0 contact(s) were restored.
I've checked through the internet Ovi (https://contactsui.ovi.com/) and it seems that I have 0 contact.
How do I recover the previous Sync?
Thanks.

Personally I use the Ovi suite desktop, but do use the site as backup, but you need to set priority for change ie if conflict exists decide whether to keep detail on phone or detail on Ovi . Bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, but it's always adviseable to do a backup of the phone occasionally !

Since migrating from Hotmail to Outlook, I can't access my contacts list using Firefox, but can with Internet Explorer - what's wrong?

Since the migration from Hotmail to Outlook, I can no longer access my Contacts (now People) using Firefox. There is no problem when using Internet Explorer.
I have v21.0 Firefox, and have cleared cache and cookies.
What can I do next (apart from not using Firefox)?

hello madscanner, you could try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this will address the issue...

How do I import contact list using advanced template?

I used to be able to do this - but don't seem to be able to see the option with the new interface. I originally downloaded the advanced excel template - it had more fields than the basic template available on the 'Import contacts' page.

Hi
I believe you are trying to import contacts in CRM,
You just need to import the file through CRM > Customers > Advance Import.
If you want to import only Email, Title, First name , Surname and company name you can go with basic import , else use Import contacts(Advanced)
