Save new contact weird problem

My friend has an iphone 4 and after upgrading his phone to iOS 6, he kinda lost all his contacts!!! We couln't find any of them at all. Today, I noticed some weird thing in his phone. When we tried to add some contact to his contactlist, if we have done it through the dialpad (i.e. entering the number in dial pad, then add a new contact, etc), it doesn't show it in the contact list!!!!!!! even if we have activated all the groups! But if we have used the add (plus) button on the contact list, every thing was fine!
Any idea what might be the problem with the first method????
My own thinking: It might saves the contacts in the SIM memory, and somehow it doesn't show them on phone! But if so, Is there anyway to show them? Does iphone has this kind of distinguished SIM and phone memories???
Thanks in advance

The iPhone does not store anything at all on the SIM.

How to save new contact from phone app to ms outlook work account instead of local contact

Hi,
I need some help please.
I usually save new numbers that call me from the phone app, I just hit "add to contacts".
I keep all of my contacts on my work microsoft outlook account so they are synced with my work, I have absolutely no local contacts on the phone.
My Z10 saves these contacts directly as local contacts instead of saving them on my work account.
However, if I go to the phonebook app, and select add new contact from there, I have the option to select whether it's a personal or a work contact. If I select work contact, it will save it to my work outlook and everything's fine, however when saving from the phone app I don't have this option.
I don't understand what I'm doing, wrong, please help on how to save to work account directly from phone app.
Thank you

Hey bllizzard,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
What version of BlackBerry 10 software are you currently using? Go to Settings>About to find this information.
When in the phone application and press and hold a number, choose add to contacts. Then click Add contact at the bottom, at the very top you'll have a choice to choose Personal or Work. Choose Work if you want the contact saved to your work email account.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Weird SIM contact registration problem

I have a weird problem with my Nokia 6230i. When I try to save a new contact to my SIM or copy from phone memory to SIM (name length fits to SIM restrictions) I get an error message telling the attempt was unsuccessful even though SIM memory has enough space.
However, when I turn off and turn it back on the phone I can see the new contact has successfully saved/copied to SIM. I couldn't solve this weird problem. My SIM card is a newer one and I can use it on another Nokia without any problem. I also tried another SIM on this phone, still no success. Can anyone help me on this issue?
The firmware version is 3.88.

That is because iPhone sim cards do not store any information on them to be transferred in the first place.
You cannot store anything on the sim card of an iPhone - it is just not possible.
If you want to transfer information, then connect the phone to iTunes and do it like this as was intended, but you could wait even longer than all night and nothing would happen wth a sim card, because it's not possible.

I'm using firefox 4 en Gmail. When I choose my contacts there is no button for new contacts. In IE9 it is there. I've done everything what is on the net to solve this problem. But nothing works.

I can't work in Gmail since I use firefox 4. The button "New Contacts" doesn't appear. I've tried everything to solve this problem: thrown away history, cookies and ad-ons. In firefox save modus it works. In IE9 it works. Only not in firefox4.
In the former editions of firefox there were no problems.

Extend wireless is simply no longer required as an option. Apple have assumed it will be extended and it is on by default.
With your main base setup.. I gather you are using the A1408??
Simply factory reset the TC..
Then when you do the setup.. extend wireless is the option that will automatically be offered to you.
I am just going to do it.. Other way around.. but it is the same thing.
So here we go..
I have factory reset the airport extreme.. and it takes a couple of min for it to come up.
You can also see it in wifi.
You can click on it in either place and get into the auto setup function.
I have no network connection at all on the extreme.. it is simply powered on and close to the computer.
It will automatically offer a name.. for reasons I won't go into here but see C9 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Give the Extending router a name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. you can do it immediately here.
Go next..
Magically it is done..
Now fix up the errors..
Default password.. in my home this is not an issue.. and I don't want to change it ..
So I ignore it.
Second error is firmware is old.
But I much prefer 7.6.1 So I have no intention of giving that up..

Getting "An unknown error has occurred" when trying to save a new contact

Scenario:
Using Outlook 2003 and Oracle Connector for Outlook 10.1.2_03 against an OCS 9 installation.
When I make a new contact and try to save it I get an error message in a popup window (with the title "Microsoft Office Outlook") with the text "An unknown error has occurred.".
Anybody seen this?
How can I troubleshoot this?

The first thing to do would be to set up logging through Connector. Under the Help menu, select "Outlook Connector Troubleshooting..." and the dialog has a few logging options. The section that might be of interest here is Calendar, since that is where your contacts are stored.
Other than that, try recreating your user's Outlook profile to see if that fixes the problem.

Cannot save new outlook contacts or access Global Address List

I have outlook 2007 connected via VPN to exchange server. I can
1) Send and receive emails
2) Edit contacts that have already been created some time ago
3) Copy and paste existing contacts
However, when I try and save a new contact it says the Microsoft exchange server is not available. I am connected because I am showing as connected and contacts created via the outlook web app appear almost immediately in my Outlook. However,
I cannot save any edits to these but can copy and paste as a whole record.
Also, I cannot access the Global Address Book at all.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks
Zeze

Hi Zeze,
Please check whether the issue happens in Outlook Online mode. If it doesn’t happen in Online mode, please create a new Outlook profile to have a try:

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.

Codingt the creativity

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.
Grrr...

Cannot save new names/info into Contacts

When I save new people and their respective contact info to iPhone Contacts, they do not appear the next time I look at Contacts. However, when I dial manually, I see the person's name next listed at the top of the phone (i.e. the info that I had tried to save appears). Not fixed after restoring.

Edit: I solved the problem. Had to ssh and delete the address book files

My contacts are organized in different groups. An iPhone trade show app (Vinexpo) displays exhibitors infos and allows to create new contacts. Is there any way to save a new contact in a specified group instead of the contacts root? Thks in advance

My contacts on my iPhone are organized in different groups. I have downloaded a trade show app which gives infos on the exhibitors of the show. It offers to create new contacts from these info. Is there any way to save these new contacts in a specified group instead of putting them into the contacts root, where they are mixed with all the old ones? By the way, can we create a new contacts group directly from the IPhone, without having to go through the sync process with the PC?
Thanks a lot in advance

Sorry, I forgot to bookmark the thread where the app was mentioned, but searching for "group" or "contacts" should bring a few results in the AppStore.

Hiya, I've got a weird problem with my iPhone4. On the 'home page' of my iPhone the mail symbol tells me there's a new mail waiting for me. However, there's no new mail to be found. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.
