Unable to enter Add Contact screen

Hello,
My daughter recently upgraded her Blackberry and gave me her old 8900 after she had transferrred all data to her new phone. She was on a Vodaphone contract.
I removed my Pay-as-you-go sim card from my old Motarola and fitted it, everything fine, 8900 up and running. All my contacts appeared but when I go to add or edit a contact , I cannot enter the Add Contact screen, I can open any of the contacts (edit dos'nt work either)  but cannot open said Add Contact screen!!
The phone is unlocked and Orange are indifferent to the problem.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since I've had a vast amount of reponse from this Support Forum, I've eventually cured the problem myself.
When I inserted the Orange sim card I neglected to wipe the hand set of all previous sim card data,
To do this:-
 1. Remove sim card and media card
 2. Go  to Options/ Security Options/ General Settings
 3. Press menu button,and select "Wipe Handheld" and click yes to confirm
You then end up with blank empty phone  which if you've done a Backup you can then restore all data back into the phone. Sorted!!

  • Unable to enter CFMX7 Administration Screen

    Hi -
    I have made sure all updates have been applied, restarted all
    CF services, etc. I was in this file ~3 weeks ago and no issues. I
    went to enter a new datasource this morning and got the following
    error. Any advice would be great!
    I can get to my local Admin screen (on my computer) but the
    Server Admin screen is down. However, all of my CF applications are
    working just fine....Thanks!!!!:

  • Unable to retrieve full contact screen by clicking track pad/ Facebook app update coincidenc​e?

    Recently I discovered that when I navigate to a particular contact (it just happens to be the people I talk, email, text with most often) their information doesn't open up when I click on the trackpad.  This only seems to be happening with specific contacts and not the majority of people in my address book.  At this point I can only get my frequent contact's  specific information (phone numbers, email addresses etc) by clicking the trackpad to find their contact name, clicking again on the menu key (I cannot click view either) and then selecting email, call, sms, mms etc and only then can I do the specific task.  This is a new problem so I'm wondering if I've turned off some feature on my frequent contacts when I updated my FAcebook app on my phone.  Help!!

    Doubtful.
    I assume you're speaking of viewing those contacts from navigating to the Address Book?
    Try a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner:
    With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
    Often such a reboot will fix most glitches like this.

    Is there anyway of creatiing a different name for this Folder rather than 2013?
    If you are using one of Lightroom's "date-based" folder templates, then the folders are created in accordance with the image capture date, not the date that you happen to import it. If you specifically want to use the import date for your folder names then you probably don't want to use the Lightroom date template, and instead you'll need to setup your folder names manually.
    The vast majority of users that use date-based folder naming schemes will use a standard Lightroom template, i.e. based on the much more meaningful image capture date.

    Hi,
    Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
    Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
    Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
    In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

  • Choose which account to add contact

    I have an iPhone5 with ios 8.1.2.  I have 2 gmail accounts on my phone, a personal account, and a joint gmail account with my husband.  The "default" account for notes and contacts is the joint account, so both hubby and I can see a contact change or share note information.  However, sometimes, I want to add a note or contact (from a text message) to my personal account instead of the joint account.
    Is there an easy way to do this?

    Perhaps I wasn't clear.  Here is an example.
    I got a text message from someone that is not in my contacts, so the message says it is from "888-555-1212"  (number used for illustration purposes)
    After determining who the sender is, I want to make a new contact for them, so that the next text message comes in from "Apple" (name used for illustration purposes)
    On the Text message, I click on Details
    On the Details screen, I click on the
    On the Info screen, I click on Create New Contact
    On the New Contact screen, I enter Apple under the company name and click Done.
    However, this creates the contact in my default address book (my joint account).  What do I do different to create the contact in my personal account (which is NOT the default address book)?
