Nokia "Contacts" problem

I trust this message is in the right forum...
I have an E61 which I am generally very pleased with. My problem here is that I want to make real use of the Contacts database. I have populated my contact with a good number of contacts. I need to hold the details of these contacts and have used Nokia PC suite to enter all the information on each contact as detail under the "Extensions" sub menu. The "Extension" for each contact is then a short paragraph long and contains vital information about each contact. However now that I have uploaded all these contact details to the phone I find that I can only see the first 40 or so characters in the line under "Extensions". I cannot scroll right to see the additional detail of "Extensions" because all this does is to cause the contact to jump to the next contact in the list.
The only means I have to see the full entry is to f=go into Edit mode, but this is very klutzy and runs a risk that the data content will be corrupted.
Their just has to be a better way to see this information... an advice please.

Nokia 5610: Problem in adding new contacts using P...

Dear friends
I'm having a strange problem in uploading contact number using PC-Suite. Phone is connected via Micro USB link with PC. Once connected, I select "PC Suite" mode in Phone.
1. I use Nokia Contact editor to add new contacts in phone. Once I give necessary details in the contact editor then I save it. First time it gets stored successfully. Once again when I select "Create New Contact" and try to save it , it fails!!
Then In phone, I have to select Menu-->Settings-->Connectivity-->USB Data Cable--->PC Suite. Then only it allows me to save the newly created contacts.
I have to repeat this cumbersome procedure every time I create a new contact.
In an all I'm able to save only on Contact at a time.
What could possibly wrong with that.
2. PC Suite shows only name of those contact, which were added thro' phone. It does not show contact number.

I have absolutely the same problem.
What's worse is that when I updated the phone software, I lost all of my contacts fromm the phone memory.
I hope there's any easy fix to this issue or I may have to chose another phone manufacturer in future as I find this untenable.
Great music player, shoddy software.

Nokia sync problems. E7.

I received the notification concerning the joining of Ovi sync with Nokia mail contacts so I signed up & tried synching my phone contacts with my Nokia email account, the problem is whenever I sync the contacts using the phone they don't update, all that happens is that the contacts are redownloaded on the phone & the original contacts on the phone are deleted (as they end up in the deleted contacts folder online) It seems you cannot change details nor add photos to contacts with the new Nokia sync/Nokia contacts as they are just returned to the original state when synched or, in the case of updated contacts, I get two entries, the original & the updated version or the entry is returned to the original version & isn't updated. I've had to forgo the ovi/nokia sync on the phone & use Nokia suite to backup my contacts. I prefered the old sync which worked fine.
Solved!

hi, I wanted to know if you have successfully fixed the problem. i think i am getting the same problem. yesterday i got p problem with my E7-00 and had to hard reset if. I lost all my data, i have send my contact from nokia suite to my phone and since it was an old back i had to delete some contacts from it from the phone. However my problem is that every time the "Nokia Sync" in restoring the deleted contacts. is there any way the set the actual phonebook on the phone to the back of the "Nokia Sync"
thanks
No I still have major problems syncing, the first sync is fine but further syncs just mess everything up; I lose any photo I've assigned to a contact I also find any changes I've made to a contact are not being updated on Nokia sync as I get the original back on the phone which makes it useless. It also doesn't handle symbols like '&' very well & I have to write 'and' instead otherwise anything before the & is missing.
I do have a theory though, as Nokia sync is now connected to Yahoo's address book (as Nokia mail is provided by Yahoo now) I suspect that that platform isn't designed to work the way Ovi sync did but to just be used to download the contact list to the phone & to make changes you have to visit Nokia mail, Yahoo's help refers to this being the case with a different phone manufacturer so I can easily see this being the problem with my E7 & other phones. I've contacted support again to try & get any update on this & even offered to show screenshots of the problem but had no reply. I have heard (I'm sure on this forum) that Nokia have dropped Nokia sync though.

Contact problems with 920

I just got a review 920 from Nokia, and i have a contacts problem.
I was under the impression that contacts were automatically stored in the linked Hotmail account, and this seems to be the case because all my Lumia 800 contacts are listed when i go to my account in the web browser. But, when i put that account into my 920, none of the contacts appeared. So i then added my Google account, which brought most of them down, then Facebook, then linked them together and hid my Facebook friends from showing. All working fine - annoying that they weren't pulled immediately from Hotmail, but they're there now.
However, i rebooted the phone, and when i opened People, they were all unlinked and Facebook contacts were showing again. OBviously i don't want to be fixing this on every reboot, so is there something i'm not doing correctly? I never had this problem on my Lumia 800.

Check "People, settings, filter my contact list" and make sure the box "Show contacts" for Hotmail is ticked.
Still don't understand it when you say that "most" of your Google contacts appeared, unless you didn't give it a while to update.
No sorry, it brought all my Google contacts, but those represent most of my overall contacts - the rest are in Hotmail.
In people > settings > filter, Hotmail is ticked, Facebook is not. But my Facebook contacts are all displaying, and everything is unlinked after i rebooted. And my Hotmail contacts just won't download, even though it should automatically. So this is a major pain.

I'm having contacts problems. I just updated my iPhone 4S iOS to 6.0.1. And after that, I started having Contacts problems. My contact list is disappearing automatically, and I have to Import SIM everytime, to bring the contacts back.

It all started after updating my software to iOS 6.0.1. Contact problems, disappearing automatically, and I have to IMPORT SIM everytime when it happens, to bring my contacts back. And this is happening more when I'm using Whatsapp application. Every two hours using Whatsapp, my contact list is dissapearing, I'm seeing only numbers. I thought it was an Whatsapp problem, but after that, when I go into my Phone's contact list, I can see nothing ! Empty ! So I guess it's a software problem or something. Please help. Thank you.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Nokia 820 problems

Just bought two Nokia 820s, one for my wife and one for myself. Awesome phones except for a couple of issues. First, the GPS and Nokia Here Maps. When I am at home the maps show me in the right spot but reports (showing the address) that I am 3 houses down the street. When I am at work, the phone shows my position correctly but reports that I am in the Elementary School across the street. Hmmmm. gMaps does not have this problem and seems to have more detailed maps about my city and roadways. So it is a Nokia software problem? I like the Here functionality better, but the accuracy and detail are missing compared to other map services so I have to keep more than one app on my phone, using precious space. Second, I would really like to be able to sync my phone calendar with my google calendar and tasks. Right now I have to use third party apps so I have more than one calendar app (I prefer to use the one on my phone with live tiles!!!!) and more than one task app, etc... and more than one travel app. Also it would be nice to separate the people I want in my phone book from the people I have on social accounts (I will NEVER be calling most of the people on my facebook account, but there are people I call on a regular basis and I hate scrolling through or having to search a gajillion people to find who or what business I am looking for) and still have them listed, just seperately.
Thanks for listening and I sincerely hope these issues can be addressed.
chris

Were you running gMaps on the same phone? If so then that would suggest the innacuracy in probably in the mapping data. This being the case, you should report the error to the map data provider using the link below.

With regards to synching with google, this service was stopped by google .

Some devices may need to have their software reset in order to see the latest benefits, or to resolve other potential problems. - Ensure you have the latest version of Nokia PC Suite. - Backup your device memory to your PC using Nokia PC Suite - Copy your files (music, videos, documents, images etc) from the Nokia N91 hard drive to your PC (use of USB mass storage recommended). - Copy any original SISX, Java, etc. installation files for your applications, themes, etc. from your Nokia N91 hard drive or memory card to your PC. (Do not simply copy over the installed directories/files.) - If your device has an internal hard drive, format your Nokia device’s hard drive by selecting Tools > Hard drive > Options > Format hard drive > Quick format (instructions are also in user the guide). - After the device has completely started up again, reset your device memory by selecting Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > General > Orig. Phone Settings and entering 12345. - Restore your device memory from your PC using Nokia PC Suite by selecting Backup from the PC Suite menu and then selecting Restore. - Copy any hard drive or memory card contents from your memory card or PC back to your clean hard drive or memory card. - Re-install your applications/themes.

Contact problems

Hello,
I have a BlackBerry 9300 and i have contact problems with my phone.
I tried to sync my contacts with Funambol but, when the sync is done, I can't read or delete my contacts. My BB's OS version is 5.0.
So, I upgraded my BB to 6.0, then I didn't have this problem anymore.
Can somebody explain me why I have this problem. I' m a presales Engineer at a Frensh ISP, and we want to provide our customers a sync solution with Funambol, but all our BBs are on 5.0.
Best Regards,
Smail

Yes! It keeps changing the contact pics! Hate that. I have one set and the phone decides to switch to a Facebook pic. Linking SHOULD be clever, but the way BlackBerry does it, it's annoying.

Nokia 6260 : Problem: Start-up Failed. Contatct Re...

Nokia 6260 : Problem Message :
"Start-up Failed. Contatct Retailer"
If Nokia Care fix this problem then can the data be retrieved completely from phone book, wallet etc...?
Please share your experience....

Unfortunately there is no way you will be able to get the information from your phone saved. In order to have that done the phone must be in working order.
The phone might however still be repairable and if Nokia cannot fix it for you then perhaps you can try a general cellular repair shop. If the problem is hardware related they might be able to fix it with out you losing your data stored on the phone. If they have to reload the firmware then you will loose everything on the phone unfortunately.
Knowledge should be your Advisor when you need help.

Nokia Lumia Contact: problem entering alphabet in ...

There are two very serious limitations with the Nokia Lumia 800, so far as the contact entry is concerned:
1. It doesn't have the back cursers, it only has a back space.
Problem: If you enter a number wrong at only one place, or say miss a numeral, you have to type the number from beginning.
2. it doesn't allow to enter the alphabet in the contact number
Problem: If you dial on a bridge like Webex etc, then there is a dial-in number ( generally a long) and a passcode. After you type the dial-in, an announcement will come requesting passcode, but in the old Nokia phones ( and also in Blackberry), you could introduce a pause between the dial-in and passcode by some alphabet : say 'P', 'X' etc.
Fortunately the NLM is compatible with the old Nokia phones, so if we enter 'P', it acts as a temporary pause, so the whole dial-in + passcode can be entered in one go, and you don't need to refer this every time to join the bridge.
But as the NLM-800, doesn't allow alphabet entry through the device we have problem.
If a qwerty keyboard can be provided this can act as a solution,as the phone already supports the feature, also the back cursor ( moving back without erasing the content) will also come.
Can you fix this in the next release.
Also any workaround for now, other than using the Microsoft Live ID?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When controlling the cursor with your finger, its better to move your finger downwards a little bit so that you can still see the cursor without the cursor moving down another line. If you move your finger down slowly to the next line while the cursor is activated then the cursor should still stay on the line above where you can see it clearly.
The cursor will snap to the beginning of each number or each letter if you move it slowly to the left or right, until it jumps to the start of the next letter.
You use the comma " , " to insert a pause, and use it after entering a space. For example if dialling number 123 then you need to pause and enter 456, you type 123 ,456 <<< so there is a space after the 3 then a pause using the comma sign.

Moderator's Note: Personal details removed. We kindly ask you not to share your phone number publicly on this forum.

Hey Buying_Samsung, Welcome to the Nokia Forums.
We are sorry that you have not enjoyed your user experience so far with the C5-00.
Please check that you have the latest software update on your device.
If you have the latest update, please go into your control panel on your PC and go to your Device manager and uninstall the drivers for your C5-00, restart your PC and replug your device and let the drivers install.
You can also reinstall the phone software, using Nokia suite, This will probably resolve most of the issues you are experiencing with your device. If the reinstallation does not work, please take your device to your local Nokia Care point to have a technical expert look at the phone as it is more than likely a hardware issue.
Please dont forget to create a backup before performing any sort of reset on your phone.
I hope this helps and that you are able to get your phone back to a working order that you are satisfied with!
