Q10 Contacts: bugs

Purchased a new Q10 and hooked it up to my home laptop to upload my contacts and calendar from Outlook.  Everything looked fine.  The next day, received a message to update the operation system software which I did.  After the update, my contacts linked together from Outlook, Facebook and LinkedIn.  However they also linked some contacts together that should not be linked.  In some cases merging the contacts together with different information.  I removed both Facebook and LinkedIn account and pushed my contacts back down for Outlook and deleted the "Local Contacts," however, that still did not stop my linking issue.  Any suggestions?

Hi, as I don't have a FB account active (as said - first action was to remove the app and restart), and since I created new contacts on the BBQ10 afterwards w/o any further interaction with any provider or account or anything for which I was not able to change any dates on BBQ10 until I re-added the Facebook app - I guess the topic is quite clear.
I cannot confirm that the issue appears solely on the FB item, as there are no FB items. One of the contacts I created was a fantasy name containing plenty of x and y and digits, so the likelyhood of this being an active FB account was too small (though impossible for me to double-check, as I don't have an account there).
A contact in BB is a contact. Yes, there might be automatic interlinkage with social networks, but this is exactly what I'm critizising, as long as this linkage is mandatory to be able to manipulate newly created contacts on BB.
So to be more precise:
1. Remove FB app, remove any accounts like for mail providers (Yahoo, GMX and others) and restart
2. Create new contact in BBQ10 with birthday -> not showing up in calendar. Issue #1.
3. Edit newly created contacts' birthday and save -> not saving. "old" entry remains. Issue #2.
4. Adding FB app and edit newly created contacts' birthday and save -> saving. Still not showing up in calendar. Issue #1 remains, issue #2 gone. Which leads me to the fact that the birthdays are synchronized differently than the rest of the data, which can be changed with or w/o FB app on BB10. This is where I see a bug in CONTACTS app.

  • Blackberry Q10 Contacts Issues

    We are having some issues with the Blackberry Q10 contacts and how it merges contacts together.
    All of the contacts needed in the phone are stored in an Exchange account. When we added the Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts, it added contacts from those accounts as well into the contact list. We do not need these contacts to be synced, but I didn’t see a way to add the accounts without having the contacts sync with the phone. The major problem we are having is that the phone is merging contacts of seemingly random people. It would merge people together with completely different names with seemingly no reason to merge together. This leads to various issues like the wrong picture showing up and the wrong name showing up while making and receiving calls.
    In addition to wanting help with resolving this issue, I have a few relevant questions.
    1)      Is there any way to Unlink all of the contacts so we can quickly resolve the issue of random people being merged together?
    2)      Is there any way to have Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts on the phone but without having their contacts/connections synced into the phone’s contact list? 
    Thanks

    As stated you can unlink them one by one. You can also remove Facebook, Twitter etc contacts from the phone book list. By swipping down from the top of the screen, then select settings. There you will see, show accounts in contact list. You can select off to remove Facebook, Twitter etc.
    However if you have a contact in your phone book who is also one of your Facebook, Twitter etc etc friends, those contacts details will be linked together and as stated, you'll have to unlink them one by one.

  • Problem with Q10 contacts, Help!!!

    I have a problem with my contacts. I have setup a work space for my business email account. And somehow I lost most address information on both my Q10 and my email contacts. I never edited them before. That should not be lost, how could it happen? Is there a bug on Q10?  
    Thanks so much in advance.

    depending on what update you have but it is takes time for all info to show on this device. let it rest for some time and check later. if they are not there sync again and leave to think about. this used to be a huge problem with later software versions, with 10.2 it shall work more or less dynamically.

  • Contact bug : contact phone numbers in edit mode are not shown in "dial" mode

    Contacts can have seemingly unlimited phone numbers as seen in the contact edit mode, though very few are shown in the corresponding non-edit mode. Of course, Dialing is not supported in the edit mode.
    I have found that contacts that include pause characters or block characters are not properly displayed in the contact "dial mode".  If you every try a conference call service, this is important to you.
    At&t uses the comma as a pause, and Verizon uses the letter "t" as a pause.  *82 temporarily blocks your caller id.  Somehow the WebOS software that chooses which items to allow me to dial has bugs and worse, there is no clear way to prioritize so I am completely at the whim of the software.

    I have tested entering 12 phone numbers on my own Pre Plus and all the numbers display in the normal contact field. How many phone numbers are you trying to to display?
    The dialing options on the Palm Pre Plus are as follows:
    To insert a two-second pause in the dialing sequence, enter a T where you want the pause to appear. To add a + symbol in the dialing sequence for international dialing, press and hold 0 (zero) in the location where you want the + symbol to appear. To insert a stop in the dialing sequence, enter a P where you want the stop to appear; to dial the next set of numbers after the stop, tap the screen.
    As far as 3rd party special dialing character entry you would need to check with the 3rd party on how to enter this information into you device for your conference calling service.

  • Linked contacts bug : SMS or e-mail sent to incorrect address or phone number.

    Hello,
    I sync contact on my iPhone 5S ios 7.0.4 with four sources :
    - icloud
    - Outlook.com (Hotmail) - my private mail
    - Exchage - my work mail
    - Facebook
    When a conctact in present on Hotmail and on Exchange, the contact appears once on the iPhone and it's correcty linked but when I want to send a SMS or an e-mail, the message is not sent to the correct number.
    For example a contact (John Smith) is present on Hotmail and on Exchange with the following information
    Exchange :
    Name : John Smith
    Work phone : 1234
    Work mail : [email protected]
    Hotmail :
    Name : John Smith
    Mobile : 7890
    Work phone 1234
    Private mail : [email protected]
    Work mail : [email protected]
    The linked contact on the iPhone looks like :
    Name : John Smith
    Mobile : 7890
    Work phone 1234
    Private mail : [email protected]
    Work mail : [email protected]
    If I want to send a SMS to the Mobile of the contact following this procedure, the SMS is sent to the work phone
    1) Open Mesage app
    2) Click on new message
    3) Click [+] to open contact list
    4) Choose "John Smith"
    5) Choose Mobile phone
    6) Type the message
    7) Click "Send"
    The SMS is sent to Work phone
    If I use anothe procedure, the SMS is sent correctly to the mobile :
    1) Open Mesage app
    2) Click on new message
    3) Type "John Smith" into the "To" zone
    4) Choose "John Smith Mobile"
    5) Type the message
    6) Click "Send"
    Same problem with e-mail address in the mail application.
    If a contact is only present in one source (not linked) there is no problem.
    I think it' a bug in linking contacts.
    Thanks

    I don't think so. When i open the Exchange contact on the iPhone (Contact --> Linked --> Exchange) the work number is not tagged as mobile end there is no message icon next to the phone number.

  • Contact bug with non English last name

    I put the chinese name as last name, so that they will show up on the contact next to the English first name ie. George [chinese], this worked no problem, but when I send sms to more than one such contact it will fail with "xxx is not on the contact...", but I can send to one contact at a time no problem. I reset the phone and re-do the contact via OVI suite but still the same problem, the only way to make it work is to put the chinese as part of the first name, this looks good on the contact and can send sms to multi contact no problem, but this is a very stupid workaround, I don't have this problem on previous N phones.

    that *IS* a bug! If you can, Have a search around on bugs.maemo.org and log a new bug.. especially since it can be reproduced!
    good find!

  • BlackBerry Z10/Q10 - contacts stop synching or updating (both ways from device and MS Outlook)

    Hi folks,
    Hopefully somebody can shed some light on this issue we are starting to see more and more at work.
    Are users are connected to the BDS10 server.   When they activate the device they are using the Work Account option.
    The issues are everything works excepts Contacts.   When they initially activate the device the contacts may or may not come over to device.   May or may not work accordingly with the updates from outlook and the device.   Then out of nowhere the synching and updating may stop.
    I have tried everything i can think of with the user:
    moved contacts into a sub-folder
    exported contacts to .csv and then re-import to possibly eliminate a bad entry
    delete and recreate the workspace
    delete and readd on the BDS10 and then delete and recreate the workspace
    guided the user to the old BB Article:
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=KB10009&sliceId=2&cm...
    Some databases failed to synchronize: Address book
    If the above error occurs, please follow the below checklist
    1)  Ensure that at least one of the following fields for the contact is populated(not blank)
         First Name
         Last Name
         Company Name
    2)  Check that there are no special characters within the BlackBerry smartphone Address Book, IBM Lotus Notes address book, or Microsoft Outlook contact
    Special characters include: () # $ @ ! & % " - , ^ " ; ,
    NOTE: these users have 800 or more contacts, one user has 3093 contacts!
    NOTE: these users stated they NEVER had this problem with THEIR OLD BB DEVICES!
    NOTE: our company is using MS Exchange 2003 ActiveSync in relation to user's mail store.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Outlook/BB contact syncing seems broken. I have around 50 contacts and it couldn't sync those properly either. i was getting duplicates each time the device was restarted.
    The best way to sync contacts on a Z10/Q10 is to add the contacts directly to your mail box. I added all my contacts to me @live.com address book and my Q10 pulled those contacts just fine.

  • Contacts bug in all versions of OS4

    Hi, anyone noticed or know why when you are in an app and you go to look up contacts the address book opens up in a random place rather than at the start of the alphabet. Not a major bug but noticeable

    Welcome to our community
    See the following thread where the mouse is explained a bit.
    Click here to view
    The thread I linked to covers the "Slide by Slide" recording mode. But you also mentioned Full Motion Recording (FMR) mode. With the Slide by Slide recording mode, the Mouse movement exists as a separate layer and the mouse starting and ending positions may be controlled if you like. But with FMR recording mode, the mouse is simply burned into the recording with no ability whatsoever to change it. However, you do have the option of whether the mouse is recorded or not.

  • Q10 Contacts Conundrum...

    ok, so here's the story of my irritation.
    my caller ids have completely befuddled me... some of my frequently called numbers are not turning up on my caller id when the calls come in.  for example, a couple of days ago, i was in touch with a friend regarding a meeting arrangement.  there were a few calls exchanged throughout the day.  funny thing is that some calls identified the caller and some calls from the same mobile number were not identified at all.  i am unsure if this has something to do with where my contacts reside, ie in work and personal.
    speaking of bb balance, my contacts are in total disarray after upgrading to bb10 from my old bold 3.  on my old bb, i had all my contacts centralised in my outlook account at work, including all my personal contacts.  i also had my bb linked with facebook, linked in, etc.  with balance, i find now that my contacts now have multiple entries and are just all over the shop!  in fact, i fear that most my personal contacts are now filed as "work" and if i decided to leave my company tomorrow, i may lose all my contacts when it gets wiped of work data.  it doesn't help that i can't copy things from work environment into personal!
    apart from that i must say this - I LOVE MY Q10!
    any help and advice much appreciated.
    thank you.
    yours sincerely,
    distressed

    You should be able to specify which contact list to add to when you create a new contact. You can't transfer the contact from local to GMail. You'd need to create a new contact and make sure you select GMail as one of the contact lists to add it to.

  • Q10 contacts not available to BMW Bluetooth system....​..........

    I have a (roughly) four month old Q10.  When I originally paired it to my MINI Bluetooth system, it worked fine and my contacts were available in the MINI's display dialog.
    A couple weeks ago, I added a Microsoft Hosted Exchange Server email account to the Q10's account list.  From that point forward (give or take) the only data displayed in the MINI's phone book display was the corresponding phone number for the contact.  No other data.
    A couple days ago, I acquired a new BMW X5.  The MINI and BMW Bluetooth systems are very similar (both BMW systems) and I'm still experiencing the same problems.  Nothing but the phone number is displayed in the X5 dialog.
    Anyone else have a similar experience?
    Thanks

    I have made progress on my original issue, but it took some time to figure things out.
    The problem on my Q10 started while it was still connected to the MINI that I was driving at the time.  After the software update that was downloaded to the device, around early September sometime, the MINI Bluetooth display began showing only numbers, no associated names.  Since I was about to trade the car, I ignored the problem.
    I did try syncing the phone with BB Link on two different computers (one office, one home office), but only wound up with two duplicate contact lists on the device.
    When I acquired the X5 on October 1st and paired the phone, same display issues.  So I contacted RIM tech support and spent about an hour sitting in the vehicle, trying different actions, to no avail.
    Being kind of fed up with the problem, and all the time it was using up, I responded with the usual email message to the open case log with my usual "since you can't fix the problem, thanks for the brick" dialog.
    RIM responded with a detailed message advising me to do a security wipe (after backing up of course) on the Q10, then add back my Microsoft Hosted Exchange email account credentials.
    This fixed the problem.  I have not reentered some of my other email accounts, which I thought might have a negative effect.  Since most of my correspondence and calendar are on the Hosted Exchange account, I'm in pretty good shape and don't want to do anything to screw it up again.

  • Blackberry Q10 - Contacts frozen

    It is quite strange that recently, probably post the last update of 10.2.1.2977 my Q10 has weird issues. I am unable to udpate any of my contacts nor add new ones. I have tried to look up solutions but the only one I find is that I should back up the phone & restore it. Battery pull out & hard reset etc is also tried,
    I am not sure what data I would lose doing so and dont want to experiment with the same. Would like to know if anybody has had a similar issue and can help in resolving mine.

    As stated you can unlink them one by one. You can also remove Facebook, Twitter etc contacts from the phone book list. By swipping down from the top of the screen, then select settings. There you will see, show accounts in contact list. You can select off to remove Facebook, Twitter etc.
    However if you have a contact in your phone book who is also one of your Facebook, Twitter etc etc friends, those contacts details will be linked together and as stated, you'll have to unlink them one by one.

  • 800w Contacts Bug

    I've found another bug - this time it's with Contacts.
    Here are the steps to replicate:
    Open Contacts.
    Enter a name that's not stored on my phone.
    Choose Corporate Directory for it to lookup the contact on Exchange.
    Click on the contact that comes up to choose it.
    Click Menu.
    One of two things happens. The menu will open but will take about 4 or 5 seconds to open OR the menu won't open and instead poutlook.exe will crash.
    If I soft reset, the menu opening is just delayed but it will eventually open. But, after the phone has been up and running for a little while (few hours or so), the menu opening will cause the crash again.
    Can anybody else using Exchange ActiveSync replicate this?

    Hey
    Tried on my 800w and it works fine.  I find that this phone is very finicky. I installed Kinoma Free Player when it was released and the whole thing started to act up and I had to restore to a previous night's Sprite backup.

  • Import SIM contacts bug iOS5

    Since the release of iOS 5.0.1 all the iPhones I have come across have this very annoying bug.
    When you add contacts to the phone, and go to say your messages, instead of showing the name of the person that the message is to/from it still just shows the number.
    I know this problem is fixable as a friend got his sorted out at a Telecom store, however nowhere I look online seems to have any info on this.
    Any help would be appreciated

    None of the iPhones I have come across since the release of 5.0.1. display that behavior.

  • New Q10 Contacts Issue

    Hello Community,
    I just starting using the newest BB Q10 SQN100-5 (from BB factory unlocked).
    I am on the Bell Canada Network. Everything works perfect except the Contacts App.
    My photos etc all transferred to my Q10, but not the contacts. When I go to the app I am reminded that I can "Add Accounts".
    I skipped that, and tried the +button and input a test contact, but no matter what I try it won't save. I tried:
    - saving on local and SIM
    - rebooting
    - pulling out the battery
    - android to new BB file transfer app
    I note that the system is updated according to the system settings and that the SIM card is new. I note that the OS is showing as official: 10.2.1.2977 according to the system settings.
    Any suggestions or help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dave
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    How did you transfer your data? Sometimes the transfer process can muck things up a bit. Backup your photos to your PC and then do a Security Wipe of the device. The wipe can take a while so plug it in when you do the wipe.
    When it's done, copy your photos back manually.
