Syncing Phone won't work properly

I sycned my 6131 phone to Outlook (PC has windows 2000) and I had problems! 1) The contacts I deleted in Outlook were still on my phone. 2)The contacts where I updated details in Outlook were added as ADDITIONAL contacts on my phone. Effectively I had certain contacts listed twice, rather than once with updated information. The setting I chose on Nokia PC Suite was to update one way - from Outlook to my phone. Why won't the sync work properly?

2 way sync is what original sync is all about:
1) first phase, 2 databases (this case PC/Outlook and Nokia/Phone, both having phonebook with different data
2) Let's introduce "SYNC", which means that after "sync session" both databses are IDENTICAL.
Then these 1 way sunc's are just some sorry sessions that try to meet a need of a user that has a need that really cannot be fulfilled by sync.
(my opinion only)

  • Changed phone number, now phone won't work properly

    After weeks of calls for the former phone owner the last @4AM, I initiated a number change. As soon as I hung up, the phone began to work differently. Bad signal, voice calls say dialing, but never go through. IE browsing doesn't work. A tech yesterday had me switch from Global mode to CDMA, which made things work better, but not like the phone used to be. My wife bought the same phone same time and hers still has the right number of bars and 3G on. Mine now goes to 1X or 3G one bar. It is a little disconcerting to think something as simple as a number change could make a nice phone all but a paperweight...obviously if the phone was great before, then not working right afterwards, there is an issue. Tech went through all the settings on the phone. *228 etc. Suggestion was to leave in CDMA mode...yet again, phone didn't need this before and it didn't restore signal and speed that was present proof to number change.
    Help please!

    While I unfortunately have no idea how to fix it, I just wanted to let you know I feel your pain. I am in college, and last year I was living in the same apartment complex I lived in the year before, just a different apartment. I had the exact same phone both years, the original Droid. Yet for some reason, last year there was a 2 block radius around my apartment where I had absolutely no service whatsoever. I had to buy a network extender, and this only worked half the time. I went through EIGHT Droids, before they finally gave me a Droid 2. This Droid 2 worked with the network extender, but it made no sense to me why this was even an issue. My roommate had the HTC Incredible with Verizon, and his phone worked just fine. I went through so many tech support guys at Verizon, made it to level 3 numerous times, and they never could figure out why in the world this was happening. Go figure. They suggested changing phone numbers, but I did not do this, because I didn't want to and it made no sense why this would fix the issue. Heck, they only said it might fix the problem anyway.
    Now I have the HTC Trophy and I am living in a different apartment complex. It works fine here and I ventured over that way just to test it out and it worked fine there. Makes absolutely no sense. But yeah, I feel your pain and I hope you solve your issue.

  • Keypad won't work properly on 'A'

    I need help about my keyboard. i'm using a curve 8520 on 0S5.
    My letter 'A' in the keyboard suddenly won't work properly.. Just a soft touch and it would appear automatically... in Uppercase. Because of this, i am having a hard time when typing. i copy paste the lower case 'a' so typing would be easy.
    Also, since the 'lock' is also in that key, my phone would always lock automatically and with that... my phone seems to go 'off' and i would have to longpress any key so it would come alive again.
    i tried the application clean-up thing in the desktop manager as @BlackberryHelp tweeted me when i asked them about this but still there are no changes.. i also tried putting a tissue in the back of the metal plate thing. i am so worried coz i just got this phone 3 months ago. Please help me about this! Thank you so much.

    i managed to unlock my phone by keeping power on, remove battery and presto its unlocked. problem is stil letter "a" in keypad is not working can anyone suggest how to fix it instead of going to a technician?

  • IPOD won't work properly if drive C: is available on your computer

    The Windows XP driver for the Apple IPOD USB Device has a bug that makes your system very slow or even hang when you try to connect or eject your IPOD if Drive "C:" is available on your machine. Another symptom is that when you connect your ipod, the computer doesn't automatically launch the ITunes app and it is very slow to open manually.
    A typical problem is that if your system has had a hard drive replaced and/or the drive "C" is not assigned for some reason, then the IPOD USB Driver will attach itself as drive "C:" and then it won't work properly seemingly because of conflicts with the Windows OS. Other USB devices never grab drive "C:" but this Apple-supplied device driver appears to think it is OK to use drive C: but then it doesn't work properly.
    The fix is to make sure some real (physical) drive is always connected to or mapped to drive "C:" so that the IPOD USB driver attaches to a drive from "D:" and up.
    Also try reading: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499 for more info.

    yeah, the ipod normally gets assigned the f, g, or h drive letters. i don't really know though if windows is responsible for assigning the drive letters to usb devices or the ipod driver. to my understanding the ipodservice.exe only makes sure that itunes can comunicate to the ipod through the drive letter that windows assigns to the ipod. windows is the os and therefore responsible for managinig its drive letters.

    If you mean the iTunes logo and a usb cable, you need to connect the phone to a computer with iTunes on it.  The device is in recovery mode.

  • After updating iso 6.1.3 in my 4s my phone is not working properly

    After updating iso 6.1.3 my 4s is not working properly the main problem is touch is not working properly and battery problem also there pls anyone have some solution

    IOS 6 has had a lot of issues to date. I have a possible solution to offer but I cannot  be sure it will work. Two ideas.
    1. Reset the phone: hold the lock button and home button in at the same time for 10 seconds. This does nit erase anything, it's basically like rebooting a computer.
    2. Factory reset: Hook up to a computer and go to iTunes. Sync the phone (if possible). Once synced, in the summary screen select factory reset (or may be another name, I'm working from memory) it's right beside update software. This will completely reset the phone, you will need to restore it after the reset it complete. I don't know if this will help you, but it may. I hope you can fix it, good luck!!!

  • I tried to update the iTunes software on my iPhone today, and now the phone won't work unless I "restore" it.  I don

    I tried to update my iTunes software on my iPhone today and plugged it into my laptop.  Before the process was complete, I received an error message saying I had to "restore" my iPhone before it would work with iTunes.  Even more importantly, and troublesome, is the fact that now my phone won't even work at all.  I can't turn the iPhone on, and all the screen shows is the iTunes icon with a picture of the white power cord.  Can someone advise if there is a way to update the software without restoring my iPhone, which will cause me to lose everything on the phone (much of which I have not backed up yet)?  Last, is my stuff already backed up by iCloud?  I believe I have sellected that option on my phone, but honestly, have never really understood what iCloud is or does.  Thanks in advance for any assistance/advice.

  • HT4528 I keep getting an error when I try to update the software.  My phone won't work.  What is going on with it?

    I received notice that my phone had a software update.  When I tried to do it, it said there was an error.  Now I can only connect to the Wifi at home or if a store has a guest account.  I can't make calls or receive calls.  My text won't work.  I am so confused.  How do I fix my phone??

    Hello mjlamonea
    If the update had an error, then check out the article below to restore your iPhone. It will walk you through putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then using iTunes on your computer to restore it. If you have a back up through iTunes or iCloud, then your can put that back up back on after you have completed the restore.

  • "Manually manage" won't work properly?

    I just recently got a new iPhone, switching from an iTouch, and I have my music sprawled across 2 laptops (Dell and Acer) and a Dell PC. I used to be able to check "Manually manage music and videos" and just take from each of my computers, but now it wont work properly. I check to manually manage, click accept on one computer, put the songs on, but when I go to the next one it still prompts me to "Erase and sync". My iTunes is set to NOT automatically sync as well. It also wont let me put anything from that computer onto it without erasing the other songs, and all of the content is spread almost equally over all computers, so it is a hassle to move all the files to one. I click to manually manage but it only works on one library or else I have to erase and sync anyway. Please help with this, I cant afford to move my songs to one computer at this point.

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.
