Nokia N900 - Smart dialing from portrait mode?

Does the N900 support "smart dialing" from the portait mode numeric key pad?
i.e start to show you matching contacts as you type a string of characters (numbers) from the home screen.

if you have the desktop visible and start typing a name on the keyboard, it opens the contacts app and shows you matching results.. not quite the same, but useful none the less

  • NOKIA 500: Smart dialing stopped working after con...

    I'm having lots of problems with this phone. First, mail inbox mess, with yahoo accounts not syncing at all or ActiveSync problems...
    In this case, the smart dialing option stopped working. This happens when I restore contacs from a backup file. I know because I made a hard reset *#7370# and until I restored the contacts, the search function worked. Please, work around this bug.

    This process and experience is ridiculous at this point after numerous, unsuccessful tries.
    Update:
    Yet again I deleted the \cities folder & qf file from my memory card.  I ran Ovi Maps, my cities folder was re-created, I went to My Position and got the expected red dot. Closed Ovi Maps, enabled Bluetooth, connected with the NMT tool then re-ran the Nokia Map Loader.
    Surprisingly, the Nokia Map Loader appeared to connect fine with my device without error. When I selected USA Maps, the tool started downloading, got past the half way point and I saw as message stating "unpacking files".  It was actively copying whatever part of the downloaded files it had grabbed to my memory card.  Great, or so I thought, as this is as far as I've gotten in the last 48 hrs.
    I then got an unexpected error in the Nokia Map Loader and the app closed. The error log is in the attached text file on this thread. (EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV))
    I restarted the Nokia Map Loader and got the same error to reappear immediately but it re-connected with my device. This is the only app crashing like this on my Mac and giving this error.  Previously, the error was EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT).
    Now I'm quite annoyed that the Nokia Map Loader does NOT pick up where it left off in the download process before the app crashed. Therefore, I'm attempting to re-download US Maps for the final time, all 1.5GB of it.  Hopefully it will complete this time.
    Not a good Nokia experience regarding mapping updates at all, at least in the Mac environment.

  • Nokia 6710 smart dialing

    Hi, anyone knows a good app to enable the smart dialing on nokia 6710 navigator? this is a great phone but nokia make a great mistake on leave this feature out of this device.
    in my opinion this feature will be the greatest upgrade in a future firmware 

    Some recent Eseries phones have a similar feature that starts searching your contacts as you type, but this is quite new - perhaps in the future it will find its way down to other models, though things like this most commonly come as part of new 'feature packs' which tend to be applied to new models and not made available to older models.

  • Nokia c7 "Smart Dial" or "Contact Search" on Dial ...

    Anyone out there? Who can help.... Desperately need help on this.
    You know on the dial screen you start hitting the numbers and your Nokia will find the best matching contacts... called the "Smart dial" or "Contacts Search"... My C7 doesn't have that feature.
    I have looked at the manual and it says, click options>contact search>off/on ....
    Well I don't have such an option in anywhere.
    This is really annoying me, I love this feature and that is the only way I am going to manage my 500+ contacts.
    Someone help!

    I have that feature on my C7-00. Y-day I also updated my phone app to the latest version and the feature is still there. Pressing OPTIONS on the call screen lets me select the Contact Search ON/OFF.
    Works very smooth...

  • Locked portrait mode

    Does anyone know how to unlock the screen from portrait mode?The only app that works is utube.I can't turn the phone say reading the NY Times in Safari.It doesn't turn so I can read it the long way.It shows locked on the screen all the time.Or am I missing something here?Thanks.

    Double tap the home button, then swipe the bottom of the screen to the left.  The first icon is the lock icon.  Tap that icon, and the orientation lock should be disabled.  Repeat the steps if you ever want to enable it again.

  • Portrait Mode For Nokia N900

    Unfortunately for some reasons I am not getting full satisfaction from my Nokia N900.
    Missing MMS,
    Quick Battery Drain,
    Landscape Mode all times,
    Unsupported by OVI,
    Fully not completable with Nokia PC Suite,
    I understand it's a kind of internet tablet. May be for this reason this phone have only landscape mode. But it does not mean that I shall use this phone only for surfing Internet all the way. I think Nokia should look into this matter and enable Portrait mode. In fact landscape mode is not comfortable all the times specially we bring out the phone from trouser's pocket and turn the phone landscape physically and start operation !!
    These are some basic points. I believe there are also lots of issues with this phone. But as a Nokia addict I expected more from this device. Now I am badly waiting for change this device :-(
    Thanks to all !!!
    Nokia N8

    There is a portrait mode SMS in development over at Maemo.org. Not sure how Nokia plan to address portrait mode in the future.
    But it's been stated by Nokea/Maemo that they have no intention in bringing "Native MMS" to the N900. Instead they are working closely with Frals (the creator of fMMS) to make sure his app integrates seamlessly with the O/S.
    The post can be viewed here: Statement on native MMS
    Personally I think Frals has done an awesome job and I've finally got the hang of using fMMS.
    Ovi is currently in beta. (There's enough talk about it on here).
    N-Series PC Suite has a better compatibility than Ovi Suite at present.
    And the battery drain will be fixed in the next firmware update (PR1.2), which is imminent.

  • N900 PORTRAIT MODE FOR TEXTING

    will this support texting in portrait mode i just got one and like it very much but hate the fact you cant text in portrait mode
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
    Now using the Lumia 1520

    My previous phone was the N97.. I bought it the day it was released in the UK (pre-order in the Nokia store in London.. happy days!)
    Before that, my phone was the Nokia 7710.. I had that since 2004.. Not only was it the first touch screen phone from Nokia, but it was the only Series90 handset they released.. It was FANTASTIC.. It had a high res screen that was only beaten on the E90 and then the 5800/N97.. superb piece of kit..
    The best thing about it, it was landscape format.. Going back to a candy bar with the N97 was a shock to the system, but at least it worked in landscape too.. Coming back to landscape mode with the N900 feels comfortable again, but I do understand how one handed operation is important.
    The screen on the N900, although not multi-touch, is wicked accurate.. The problem is whether a cramped portrait mode keyboard can cope with the relatively large surface area of say a thumb pressing the screen.. something that is always more optimally suited to a screen technology that registers the shape of a screen press, not just the location..
    I'm interested to know how the X6 works in portrait mode, see how Nokia are deailng with a different screen tech

    Shot videos ONLY in landscape. For photos choose what's you like. Maybe you have to rotate photos on PC. What's your operating system?

  • I use to be able to rotate my iPhone and change the view of an image, Web page, email, and so on, from portrait to landscape, but after update, I cannot. I can only view in portrait mode. Anybody know what's up with that?

    I use to be able to rotate my iPhone and change the view of an image, Web page, email, and so on, from portrait to landscape, but after update, I cannot. I can only view in portrait mode. Anybody know what’s up with that?

    You need to do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B.
    Restart phone
    Reset phone
    Restore in iTunes using a backup
    Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure in the phone that needs evaluation by Apple.

  • Transfer SMS (from Nokia N97) to Nokia N900

    Hey guys, 
    I wonder if there is a possibility to transfer my old SMS (from a Nokia N97) to my Nokia N900? Sadly (for SMS) you can not use the transfer function or the PC Suite. Does anyone have a solution? Copying the SMS from SIM card to the device is really no use, I have approx. 800+ SMS which I really would like to have on my N900.
    Thanks, I'd appreciate the help...

    Have a look through the talk thread link I posted above.. Remember, you can backup your device before you start and there are plenty of details here about how you restore from a backup and even a "bricked" device here..
    I'll see if I can make a walk through too.. I'll post details back here

  • A very usable portrait mode for N900!

    I just found this, some of you probably already know about it.
    Download ShortcutD  from the maemo repo, then go to settings and ShortcutD. In there you can use camera button or proximity sensor (i originally set caera button but found proximity sensor better), and from the list select 'ctrl+shift+r' (portrait). Doesn't work on desktop (thankfully) but it does elsewhere - conversations, images, app manager etc. Just cover the proximity sensor and it says 'rotation toggled' and you can tilt the phone to portrait. Very, very nice. Shame it doesn't affect the virtual keyboard for SMS though.
    Enjoy! And if you like it, kudos!

    i think that rotatedaemon was the only program that allowed a qwerty kb in the portrait mode for sms.

  • Portrait-mode images from iPhoto get imported unrotated as landscape

    hi there
    when i imported my iphoto library i noticed that portrait-mode (upright) images from iPhoto get imported unrotated as landscape.
    if i had edited them in iPhoto i get in aperture a stack with the original wrongly in landscape and the edited one correctly upright.
    seems to be the case that aperture does not handle the EXIF orientation tag properly.
    anybody an idea what i can do?
    thanks, olli

    So, iPhoto *does not* respect the Exif tag, just like I said. When it imports a photo so tagged it creates a new version and that's what you are seeing - tagged iPhoto Edited. The Original file (including the Exif rotation instructions) is not actually touched - non-rotated.
    This is by design.
    Apps like iPhoto and Aperture don't respect these tags because of the apps that integrate with them. If, for instance, you pulled a Rotate-Tagged image from your Library to a Pages document then the result would be the wrong way round in Pages, as it, and most other applications, are not aware of Exif display tags.

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 4 does not "switch" from portrait to landscape mode in any app. Is there a way to fix this? I'm running 5.0.1

    My phone does not toggle between landscape and portrait mode any more. This is, as far as I tested, in any application. Is there any way to fix this?

    Hi ckuan,
    Thanks a lot for that fast reply. Must have touched that lock button by mistake without noticing.
    Stupid me :-D. Btw happy new year!!!!!
