Phone Contacts

I am using both Z10 and Z30 Blackberry handsets. After upgrading the software to 10.2.1.2102 and when I use font size 18, the names in the contact list, the names are garbled (only part of the name is visible). This is worst in Z10, where the name can hardly be seen. However, when font size 14 is used, there is no problem and the names are clearly displayed in full.
I believe this is a software problem. Could anyone please help me to resove this issue.
Thank you.

Would the software guys in RIM please respond to the question raised?

Backing up cell phone contacts

I want to use iSync to back up my cell phone contacts in a specific Address Book group.
I don't want to transmit any information from the computer to the phone. I just want to pull data from the phone to the computer.
I tried using iSync to sync my Motorola v710 with an Address Book group called "v710 contacts." When I was done, (1) no contacts appeared in the Address Book group; (2) the two people I call most frequently were somehow deleted from my phone; and (3) certain other people who I never call suddenly had a redundant listing on my phone.
Anyone know the right way to do this? Thanks.

There is no 'right' way to do what you want with iSync: it simply does not have this capability.
iSync is designed so that, within the limitations of an applied filter—such as the Address Book group identifier—both sets of data are equal or identical when the event ends. It has no provision to overwrite the contents of a Mac OS X application like the Address Book with the contents of your mobile handset.
You will simply have to look for another OS X application to transfer selected mobile handset contacts unidirectionally to a data file on your computer.

Lost all phone contacts.

I lost all my I phone contacts, I used to have my the contacts on my iphone synchronized with outlook but my computer went wrong and it does not turn on, I could still access my hard drive on a different computer. Is there a way to recover the outlook contacts from the hard drive, is there a file that I could copy from the outlook folder to get my contacts?

No, but you could import your contacts into Outlook on another computer. Or find the backup of the iPhone on your hard drive and move it to another computer, then connect the iPhone and choose Restore Backup by right clicking on the iPhone name in iTunes.See this for location of the backup: http://osxdaily.com/2009/09/11/iphone-backup-location/

Contact vs phone contacts; Google Android vs Motorola vs HTC vs Samsung

My Droid 2 contact came from several sources. Verizon downloaded by Motorola E815 phone contacts and my contact information from an old HTC XV6800. I downloaded other contacts from Outlook and from my HP Palmtop 200LX. All of this made for a pretty awful database since some of the databases only had a single name field. As I tried to correct many of the entries, I got a ton of "Forced closed" messages which was quite annoying, but I quickly learned that it was my contact database which was the culprit. The contact and phone databases have requirements for the type of characters that are allowed in the fields. If the import file has the wrong type of characters in the fields into which the data are imported, you get a "forced closed" error. After cleaning up all the fields, the "forced closed" problem went away.
In the process of cleaning up my contacts, I also noticed at the bottom of each listing there is an entry called 'Linked Profile' with a number in parenthesis following. The number 1 means that this is the only profile for this person. The number 2 would mean a second profile exists. This second profile could be within your contacts database or your phone contact data base. If you had a higher number there, there could be additional entries within the same database - say one entry of First Name, Last Name and another of Last Name, First Name. I had some with 7 entries and believed that these also contributed to my 'forced closed' messages. I decided to unlink each one and found that many of them had only names and phone numbers. These, I believe, came from the import of my old phone database that had been backed up to Verizon's Backup Assistant. There were a few entries which consisted of a name and email address or two. Some with just an email address.
After cleaning up the database and trying to learn about other features on the Droid 2, I decided to ensure my data was being backed up in my Gmail contacts as well as Verizon's Backup Assistant. When I logged into the latter site, I found over 500 deleted addresses. It seems that all those entries which contained only phone numbers that I deleted from my Droid2 were really phone contacts and were deleted from the Backup Assistant database (they were not totally deleted and I could undelete them if I wanted.) I would have thought though that the remaining entries in my contacts are much more complete with complete home and work addresses , phone numbers, email address, IM address, company names, titles, nicknames, Websites, ringtones and whether to send the call straight to voicemail. However, none of these contacts were backed up the Verizon Backup Assistant. They were backed up to my Gmail contacts. I have my Droid 2 scheduled to sync with Google's gmail, gmail contacts and calendar, as well as the Verizon Backup Assistant. My first question is why doesn't the Verizon Backup Assistant back up ALL contacts?
With the Droid 2, if you select the Dialer icon from the full list of programs, it brings up a keypad with a search bar above and 4 Icons on the top - Dialer, Recent calls, Contacts and Favorites. By the way, clicking on the Favorites icon allows you to select your favorites. After clicking the Contacts or Favorites icon, If you long press the menu icon on the bottom left, you then have the option searching your contacts, clearing the frequently called list or setting up your speed dial. It appears to be the only ways to set up the speed dial. Once set up, you can see the assigned speed dial numbers in the entries for those people in your Favorite list. To dial them just click the dialer icon and long press the speed dial number for the contact you want to call. If you remember the numbers by heart, just go right to the dialer and long press the correct number. My next question is at first I had no trouble in setting up the Favorites or the Speed dial, but lately, when I long press the menu icon, it brings up the electronic keyboard. The only way to bring up any options is to open the sliding keyboard, shifting the screen to landscape mode. Pressing the menu icon will then bring up the choices mentioned above. I noticed this occurring within other applications so I believe it is a software problem cause by interactions with other software or a recent update. It seems to be intermittant, corrected momentarily by opening the sliding keyboard, but after a couple of minutes reverts back to the problem mode.
Getting back to the contacts issue, if you select the Contact icon when the Dialer is opened, while many of the contacts that come up are from the Phone Contact database AND are not VIEWABLE when you select the Contact icon on the Home Page. In fact, I have two entries for myself, one with nickname and last name; the other full legal name (first middle and last). Only the one with the nickname shows up in viewing my contacts in the Verizon Backup Assistant. This entry is also found in my main Contacts database on the Droid 2. The entry with my full legal name is not in the Verizon Backup Assistant database. This entry is only viewable from my phone contacts on the Droid2. It does not show up as a Gmail contact and is not viewable on my main contact database. It is also not the first time that my own entry has disappeared. Can anyone explain this?
I have been reading the forum entries on various subjects regarding contacts with most folks focusing on Google's lack of design. However, my wife has an HTC Incredible which also runs Android 2.2. However, its contact system is totally different from Motorola's, as is LG's and Samsung. These systems have the ability to enter data into either the phone database or the contacts database starting from scratch. With Motorola's system the only way to enter a new entry into the phone database is start by keying in a phone number first. This is confusing to the average user who is typically shown by Verizon people how to add entries to the main contact database. All these systems allow for the entry to be displayed either the last name, first name mode or in the first name, last name mode. Take aim at Motorola, not Google. There may be some aspects of the contact system that are controlled by Android, but the sorting of the database and the ease of making entries is not an Android-specific problem.
Next question, with my Bluetooth earphone paired and connected, it takes almost 30 seconds between the pushing of the center button on the Bluetooth for the Droid2's voice command to say "Say a command", to which I respond, "Call Joe Smith mobile" or some other command. It was instantaneous with my old Motorola E815. This kind of delay is totally unacceptable. Does anyone have a clue about why it takes so long?

Keep in mind, each source that you are importing contact information from has its own platform and technology being used which can be different than the platform on the device. Based on the multiple topics that you bring up, and to ensure that I address your concerns fully, please send me a private message with your Verizon Wireless cell phone number, a callback number where I can reach you, and the best time to contact you. You will want to provide a call back number since you will need to be off of your device when we talk.

1.4 - Important sites will not work & why are the AIM / Facebook contacts integrated with my phone contacts?

Two issues I am having with my phone.
1 - Before upgrading to the 1.4 software patch, I was able to visit some sites that I use regularly, one being www.hotschedules.com. I bartend and use my phone to look at my weekly schedule but now it will not work. Just to test it, I used a buddies phone who had not upgraded to 1.4 and the site opened JUST FINE!
2 - I want to use facebook and AIM on my phone but for some (stupid?) reason, ALL of my facebook and aim contacts get listed in the SAME LIST as my phone contacts. I do NOT want to scroll through hundreds of contacts to find someone. Yes I know there are shortcuts but why even do this in the first place?

Hello eculley and welcome to the forums;
I attempted the website you mentioned, and it loaded fine on 1.4.1.1 on my Sprint Pre. We did identify some issues with websites on 1.4, and this should be resolved with 1.4.1. I know 1.4.1 is not available for Verizon yet, however it should be available soon.
As for Facebook contacts, they show in the Synergy contact list by design, so that you can see all of your contacts in one master list. If you do not want those contacts showing in your Contacts app, you can open Preferences & Accounts for contacts and remove any account you don't want to see contacts for.
Hope this helps!

Have you activated iCloud on your Mac? Have you configured iCloud to sync Contacts for to your Mac in System Preferences?

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
Thank you in advance.

FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

HT4859 I shared itunes account with my daughter, had never synced my phone with computer, synced with computer and chose daughter's phone instead of create new phone, all phone contacts are now gone replaced with daughter's - is there no way to get contac

I shared itunes account with daughter's phone, never synced my phone with home computer through itunes, synced tonight with itunes but choose her iphone and it restored all her info on my phone, all my phone contacts, text messages and photos are gone - I had auto backup to icloud daily - is there any way to get phone numbers and texts back off icloud?

If you have been backing up to iCloud your camera roll photos, text messages and other data and setting should be contained in the backup. Restoring the backup to the phone should recover them.
To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

Can I delete all the contacts from Facebook in my phone contact list.. !!!

I am a new i phone ower... had Droid for over 4 years..   Currently... I miss my Droid!!... iphone seems to control me.. and I hate that
I have to use itunes..
Now it tells me (iphone 5).. I can not delete those off my phone contacts from Facebook. I don't want all those on there I rarely speak with
or contact..
PLEASE tell me how to control my phone..
Peggy

Thanks.. did that...   When I try to download facebook to my iphone
it asked for my id, pwd.. etc.
You're welcome.
Not sure how your FaceBook contacts were available or are available with the Contacts app on your iPhone if you have not already downloaded and installed the FaceBook app from the iTunes App Store.
This is when you try to download the FaceBook app from the iTunes App Store on your iPhone, or when accessing the FaceBook app on your iPhone that has already been downloaded and installed?
1. Voicemail.. I tap the person who left message.. in the voicmail.. (I think I am in the right screen/program)... I see the little button at the bottom moving as if a recording is on.. but NO volume.. nothing!!
When selecting Voicemail from within the Phone app and selecting a voicemail to listen to the voicemail, have you selected Speaker at the top right to listen to the voicemail through the iPhone's speaker? If not, you need to place the iPhone to your ear to listen to the voicemail.
2. How can I delete pictures off the "photos" .. camera roll and all that downloaded from Facebook, etc. and my latptop. I DO NOT want???
Select the Photos App.
Seelct Camera Roll from Albums in the Photos App.
Select Edit at the top right to select a single photo to delete or multiple photos to delete followed by selecting the Red Delete button at the bottom right, or with a photo selected from within the Camera Roll viewing the selected photo full screen, there is a Trash Can icon at the bottom right. After selecting the Trash Can icon at the bottom right, a big red Delete Photo button is provided along with a Cancel button.
Seems like these iphones do more than the owner wants.. NO control and I understand no customer service .. made me sicke no "owner's manual etc. to refer to as a hard copy. .. sorry I am much older than the average iphone owner, so I like to have hard copies... cause I don't trust my laptop to keep all the info, etc.
What?
You must be joking. I'm no spring chicken and have never needed to check the iPhone user guide.
There is plenty of control; Apple includes a mobile version of the iPhone User Guide with a Safari bookmark, or you can download the iPhone User Guide as a PDF file from here

You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first.

How to transfer phone contacts saved in my PC to iphone4

How to transfer my phone contacts saved in a folder on my PC to iphone 4

You don't. iPhone stores no data on a sim card.

HT1688 Why does when they upgrade my phone they turn on Icloud stuff I did not have and wiped out my phone contacts, but after it did that it took another back up and I could not get my contacts from backup unless I go back sept , why not incremental back

recent upgrade I lost all my contacts, I only had icloud for find my phone. My son backs his contacts up to my id, so when the upgrade happen it wipped out my contacts. I had been doing backups on my computer when I plug it in. But the problem is that it overlays the previous backup and after the upgrade it wiped out my phone contacts. So now I lost them and can not recover them. You need a more robust backup for IPhone.... I can not use the cloud because of my work will not let me. I have confidential information or access to it on my phone. I do not like each time I upgrade I lose my contacts and then I can't recover them because the backup runs again and overlays it. Should be a way to get increamental backups at point and time and not overlay everything. So frustrating with my upgrades and constantly losing my contacts. Very insufficent.

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

I just upgraded my iPhone4 iOs and lost ALL Phone Contacts! How can I get them back?

HELP! I've been using my iPhone consistently for ALL phone numbers, since I have serious memory problems due to fibromyalgia. I upgraded my phone last night finally, having moved my photos out of it I had the space to download and install the upgrade.
I got a nasty shock this morning when I tried to make a routine call and found ALL of my phone contacts missing. They don't seem to be either in the cloud or in the phone. What happened? It said it was storing them in the cloud but they're all gone! How can I get them back?
IF this normally happens, why should I ever upgrade? Seriously! I didn't think to copy all of it out manually before upgrading, I'd upgraded once before without any problems. Addresses and other details gone too. I've got four numbers in "Favorites" but no context for them beyond location by state. I don't even know who they are - can't recognize just the numbers.

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

How do I sync phone contacts with (into) gmail contacts?

I'm using 3 different GMAIL accounts via my phone. Each GMAIL account (accessed via the web) has their own contact list. There are also some (many!) contacts that can only be accessed via my phone - that is, the information does not show up via web access in any of the three GMAIL accounts.
Is there a way to sync / export all phone contacts in to one particular GMAIL account?
I've tried Verizon Backup Assistant, but this did not fix the problem. I think all it did was back up (to backup assistant) about ~650 of my ~1700 contacts.
Many thanks!
Melissa

certainly, export each contact list, #1, #2, #3, then import all 3 into the one email account you select & only have that gmail account doing the sync.
ba is limited to 1000 & only does phone numbers, email must be added manually.
fwiw:
i use both with ba as the primary but anything i enter into gmail contacts, on the pc, is on the phone immediately because i only sync contacts & calendar, gmail isn't my primary email.
