Too many contacts = sms problems

Hi, i bought and 16GB iPhone last week and i'm having some problems with SMS.
When I click on the SMS, it takes about 40 seconds to open (when it opens, because normally just returns to the home screen), everything is really slow (opening conversations, writing/reading messages..). The problem only occur when my big list of contacts its in the phone (+- 4000 names).
My sister bought and 16GB in the same day, everything is equal, but she only have 100 contacts and her iPhone work perfectly. I already tried restoring my iPhone and reseting, but after syncing my contacts, the SMSs just stop working right. When i sync MY contacts in HERs iPhone, the SMSs of hers phone also starts having problems.
I feel like if it wasnt prepared for that ammount of data. What should i do? Does the iPhone has limitations regarding the number of contacts?
Thanks in advance.

My life would be a lot easier if the iPhone had a spotlight, but in the time been, my fingers are getting stronger from all the scrolling...
I cant delete contacts because most of them are business relations/ hotels/ restaurants/ tennis partners... My contacts are my office on the road. But thanks for trying to help...
Anyone have a solution for my SMS problem?

What were you doing when you received the message?
I have seen reports on these forums where there is a limit to how many contacts you can have in the "to" field of a text message. That is the only thing I can think of where someone has reported getting a warning about too many contacts.

BB Q10 is troublesome for my bluetooth car stereo due to too many contacts

In the past my various blackberrys have had no problem connecting via bluetooth to my car stereos or various hands free units. I do have 9,000+ contacts on my blackberry. Typically a car hands free unit will only take the fist few hundred or thousand. This has never bothered me as i dial manually from my backberry phone. However on the Q10 it seems to keep feeding contacts to my Kenwood car stereo, result being that my stereo displays continuously the message "downloading" over any other display - which is frustrating to say the least. I have spoken at length with Kenwood support, and they seem unable to help, but keep leading back to trying to find a way for the Q10 to connect on the bluetooth for voice / calls, but turn off sharing of contacts or data. The kenwood product does not have any control on this unfortunately. The Q10 also seems to support phone book auto synchronisation. I know others have had issues on the bluetooth car connection for the Q 10, but no one seem to have the same issue i do - of too many contacts, or not that i have seen. The phone works fine via the bluetooth connection, it is simply a pain that i cannot see my tracks or radio station on the stereo because it is "downloading". Does anyone have a solution for this issue from the blackberry side, if not is there likely to be one in the future? I have been impressed by the fact that blackberry have made other changes recently such as resolution size of photographs etc, wonder if we can expect other tweaks.

In Italy we have some Radio Sender which can be connected to the iPhone and send the music to the FM receiver.
They are practically useless. Even if you can tune in to find a range free from Radio sender it is stable only for 1 Mile. Then you get a strong radio over your music.
BT should be more stable but I do not believe it will give you a stronger signal compared to a direct cable connection.
You really need an amplifier.

If you cannot sync contacts this might be the problem...too many contact groups

I have a Centro and MAC book and was trying to use ISync and then Missing Sync to sync data. In both programs the contacts would not sync but all else did just fine. I have many contacts but did not need all of them on my phone so I organized them into groups in the address book, with one group being a list of the current contacts I wanted on my phone. With MissingSync the program will only sync a certain number of groups, although I had more than that number I didn't think it mattered because I was only trying to sync the one group. It matters. Even though in the Missing Sync conduit setting the group was listed and I only checked that group off to sync - nothing would sync.
The solution was to save a back up of my address book and then delete all my contact groups except the one I wanted to sync. POOF! It worked. I am not sure exactly how many groups would work but if the priority is to get a certain number of contacts, not all, on your phone and you have a lot of groups, maybe this strategy will work for you. If you are using ISync, since the problem was the same for both programs, maybe this would also be the solution in ISync.
What led to this ah-ha moment was a forum moderator at MissingSync suggesting I create another user on my computer with administrative capability, create a few test contacts and then try to sync. This did work, the contacts did sync.
I hope this may be of help to someone and possibly save you a lot of time. Good luck!

Can't Solve the "Too Many Clients Tasks" Problem

Hello All ,
I am creating a java desktop application , and i keep getting this error message:
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too many client tasks.
Any way ,i googled for this error and i found that because i creates many connections with database "more than 10 i think " , and that why i get this error message ..
The problem is that i do not know how to solve it , i tried to close the connections and i still getting the same error
I searched this forum , and someone suggest to close the connections and the statements and the resultset , but still not working
this is the code

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
by Patrick Jordan on August 30, 2012 in iPad Tips & Tricks
I first posted about ‘Cannot connect to iTunes Store’ errors on the iPad back in May of this year. I was getting this error when trying to update or install new iPad apps.
Since then the issue has continued to trouble many iPad and iDevice users – and thanks to our excellent readers and commenters we’ve learned a number of effective fixes for this problem.
Here are the best ones I’ve seen – each of these has proven successful for many users:
DNS Settings Change
This fix has been recommended by Apple support and has proven successful for many commenters on my previous post. The way this works is to change DNS settings on your iPad or whichever iOS device is affected – by adding Google’s DNS server/s. Here’s how to do this:
– Go to the Settings app and tap on the Wi-Fi section in the left sidebar
– Then look at the ‘Choose a Network’ section in the main right-hand side area of the page and look for the network name that has a check mark next to it and rendered in blue text – the WiFi network you are currently using
– Tap on the blue arrow at the right-hand side of the listing for that network.
– On the next screen you’ll see a section labeled ‘IP Address’ with three large buttons below it. Make sure the DHCP button is selected. Below that you’ll see fields for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and others. Tap on the DNS field (the fourth one down).
– This will bring up the iPad’s on-screen keyboard and place the cursor at the end of the IP address for the DNS server currently being used by the iPad. Backspace until all the numbers for that address are gone. Then type this in:
8.8.8.8
Please note the periods after the first three 8s. You can also use 8.8.4.4 – both are valid addresses for Google’s DNS servers.
Download an App Via the Purchased Tab in the App Store
– Open the App Store app on your iPad or whichever iOS device is having this issue.
– Tap on the Purchased button in the bottom navigation bar.
– This will show you all the apps you’ve purchased on the iPad. Those that are already installed with a greyed out label. Others will display a small download icon, showing a cloud with a downward facing arrow in it.
– Tap on one of the download icons and download a purchased app.
For many users this has cleared some sort of App Store queue and allowed them to resume with normal updates. Some have had to repeat the download with a few apps in the Purchased section.
Set the Date Forward and Revert Back
– Open the Settings app and go to General > Date & Time
– On the Date & Time screen, tap to turn off ‘Set Automatically’
– Tap on ‘Set Date & Time’ and enter a date a couple of years or more in the future.
– Go out of Settings and then straight back in and turn ‘Set Automatically’ to restore the current date and time.

"Too Many Cards Open" Problem

since I updated the last update on my pre whenever I try to use a email link I get a too many cards open message even if there is only one card open. Then when I close everything and try to open a new email card or web card I get the same message until I restart the phone. Has anyone heard if this?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Hello paktec,
Are you using an HP Touchpad?
If you are experiencing the issue on a TouchPad try closing the applications and relaunching whatever new applicatiion you was trying to use.
If you are done with an application that you are not going to use again for while try completely closing the application before launching a new one.
There are two ways to close applications on the device.
1. Swipe the application up off the top of the screen
2. Pull the application down and slingshot it off the top of the screen.
By doing option 1 you are suspending the application in the background allowing it to open quicker subsequent times. By doing option 2 you are completely closing the application out. Opening the application later will take a little while longer, but if the application has a memory leak you will not run into any problems of it using memory while being in a suspended state.

Am I trying to print too many Contacts at once?

I have over 2000 contacts in my Address Book, and when I try to print I get the "Preparing" window forever. I can break it down to smaller groups, but I'm wondering if there's a limit to how many contacts Address Book can print in one pass. Any ideas?

You really can't. Try downloading them on your computer and sync. Next try restoring from backup.

Slow dialing, too many contacts

Problem:
When I manually dial a phone number, the iPhone checks my 2300+ contacts list after each press of a number and tries to tell me who i'm calling. This slows things down a lot.
Example 1:
- Phone app
- Dial
- start dialing:
(area code)
5
1
4
*everything hangs for about 6-7 seconds, even if i continue dialing*
all the other numbers i dialed appear suddenly.
Example 2:
- Phone
- Dial
- Start dialing
(area code)
5
1
4
- I wait and stop feeding any more numbers to the dialer
- 6-7 sec later, below my "514" is written somethins like "john smith and 1590 others"
- I input the rest of the phone number: no lag.
Solution ?
Last thing I could care about is the iPhone giving me possibilities of who I'm calling. To my understanding, thats what is slowing things down: having to check in my huge contact list who matches the number i'm dialing.
Question:
Is there a way to not have the iPhone try to tell me who I'm dialing so I get no lag while manually dialing a phone number ?
PS: sorry for the bad english, frenchy here.

Thx for the help so far guys, not done yet though.
iPhone 3G 8GB running firmware 2.2.1.
Fresh restore just finished. i didnt sync anything.
Tried dialing, A1. no lag at all.
I sync'd my addressbook via iTunes (my addressbook is pretty straightforward: no groups, no LDAP, 2359 cards, about 400 are company cards, about 20 contacts with pictures, nothing fancy).
Tried dialing, same problem as before, lag kicks in after the area code "random name and 900ish more".
0 additional app installed.
a bad contact ?
bad phone number formatting ?
In my AddressBook prefs, under "Phone", "Automatically format phone numbers" is checked and the format used is "+1 (123) 456-7890".
Any clue ?

Is Siri confused by too many contacts?

I just got an iPhone 4S, primarily because of the raves about Siri. However, no matter what I say to Siri, it seems to want to call up someone on my contact list. I have about 3000 contacts. Is there a way around this? Can I segment my contacts into the much smaller subset I am likely to call, and the the much larger number which I would like it to ignore? Thanks, Jim

Hi,
I am having exactly the same problem, with a bit over 3.500 contacts, it take long, and mostly it finds the wrong contact. Easiest would be a way to point Siri at a contact list only, our to prioritze the favorits.

Too many contacts

I have far more contacts in outlook than I want to keep on my iPhone. I would like to select a smaller group of contacts to sync, but iTunes wont let me change from all contacts to selected groups. What's the solution to this?

Beware...it is no fun transferring contacts from a PC to a Mac - at best you will lose your assigned categories. Microsoft does not want you to leave the PC. There is third party software that makes it easier, but not easy.

TOO MANY OPEN CURSORS PROBLEM ... PLEASE HELP

Hi,
my problem is the following :
I got data from a system in flat file format. ( ascii, semicolon separated )
I wrote mapping classes to different tables and insert via Oracle thin driver.
The data I got isn't 100% consistent. It may happen that there are double
records for tables whith unique indexes.
I catched the Exception like in the segment below
Statement insertStmnt = null;
try{
insertStmnt = connection.createStatement();
insertStmnt.execute(insertString);
connection.commit(); // autocommit is diabled
} catch ( Exception sql ) {
System.out.println(sql.toString());
connection.rollback();
insertStmnt.close();
The Problem : when receiving the SQLException ( UNIQUE CONSTRAINT VIOLATED )
the cursor remains open.
After exeeding the open_cursors system property ( Oracle )
no more data is loaded.
( the input files contains sometimes more than one million rows )
Any suggestion to my Mail
[email protected]
Thanks

Hi!
Now you only close your statement when you catch an error. You will have to close it if things works out fine as well:
Statement insertStmnt = null;
try{
insertStmnt = connection.createStatement();
insertStmnt.execute(insertString);
connection.commit(); // autocommit is diabled
insertStmnt.close();
} catch ( Exception sql ) {
System.out.println(sql.toString());
connection.rollback();
insertStmnt.close();
Good luck!

Too Many Contacts Sync'd Over Each Other!!

I just got a 4s on Sprint (Never had an iPhone before, but had an iPad and a MacBook Pro), and I sync'd my contacts with my Google, Exchange, MobileMe, iCloud accounts, and now I have a ridiculous amount of duplicates. I spent at least 4 or 5 hours going through my contacts on my iPhone and 'linking' all the duplicates together, but whenever I use Siri to call/text/email a contact, it always says "you have 15 entries for John Doe" etc. So annoying!
How do I get rid of all the un-needed data? Once I have it all on my phone, does it all sync to iCloud? If I un-sync my google account, will everything still be there? If I go through individually and delete contacts, will it all end up deleting on the cloud, or will it stay on the cloud and just delete on my phone?
Thanks for the help!

Sync's too many contacts

I have several contact lists in Outlook. Before 1.1.3 it sync'd up the main "Contacts" ignoring all the others. Now it has sync'd ALL the lists on to the phone.
I know you can select which contacts to sync, but the main "Contacts" isn't listed, only the other ones, which I don't want!
Any help? Why doesn't it list all my contact lists? I only have 6.
