Updating contacts via PC Suite

Hi, I would like to be able to update contacts on the phone by reading in a csv file on PC Suite. Is this possible? I would be happy with the ability to update just name & number.

Nokia Pc Suite does not have an inbuilt calendar application in PC side. It relies on users having eighter Outlook or Notus Notes or Organiser and then you can syncronise the calendar data between the PC application (like Outlook) and phone.
There may be other PC sw's available that have that support, but I have not used any of those, so maybe there are other users here wh can recommend something ?
Thanks for the above advice. I never thought of using the Outlook component for calender items. That's been a positive result, thanksvery much for the help !

Don't see my N80 contacts via PC suite over Blueto...

When I'm connected to my N80 via Bluetooth and open "Contacts" from the PC suite, I see no contacts even though I've synced in about 100 contacts. I can see other files (like JPEGs I've loaded). I'd like to edit some of the contacts without resyncing. How do I do get to see my contacts?
Also, I've set my contacts to sort by first name but they are sorted by last name. How do I change this?
Thanks!

When you open the contacts in PC Suite, it actually open an extended Windows Explorer view and in that window, when you have the contacts folder highlighted, if you press F5 it should update the list of contacts visible. Also there is a small button with phone and arrow, if you press that, it updtes the list.
I did not quite get the comment about editing contacts without resyncing, pressing the F5 actually causes a sync between the phone and PC view and if you then open a contact and edit, when oyu press save, again it resyncs the editied contact to phone.
Unless you save the contact to your PC somewhere, but then obiviously the cahges are not in your phone.

Syncing Nokia X-6 via Ovi Suite [2.x], to Outlook,...

Salutations,
I'm new here, so I hope that I'm in good section. I have following problem. My mum has nokia X-6 and I bought her Nokia Lumia 800 and Samsung Omnia 7. When I want to move my Nokia X-6 contacts to Nokia Lumia 800, or Samsung Omnia 7 I get following errors:
• I tried to export contacts to CSV via phone [X6], when imported I got contacts where 80% lack phone numbers
• I tried to export contacts via PC Suite [X6], when imported to Outlook, Windows Contacts or Gmail, I got contacts where 80% lack phone numbers
• I tried to export contacts via Nokia Ovi Suite [X6], when imported to Outlook, Windows Contacts or Gmail, I got contacts where 80% lack phone numbers
I tried to import contacts through Ovi suite directly, export to all forms of CSVs, and all syntaxes, I never succeeded.
Do You have any clue, how I might import nokia X6 contacts to Nokia Lumia 800 and Samsung Omnia 7?
Thank You for any reply,
Regards
Bryan

Hi Lexicanum,
Do you see all your contacts on CSV file when you export them?
If all the contacts are exported correctly to the CSV file, then it is upto the 3rd party software, how it treats the generated CSV file (It could be that the generated CSV file is not read correctly by the 3rd party software).
If not all the contacts are exported to CSV file by using Nokia Suite, then you can submit the error report using this link http://tiny.cc/ja40z
Thanks,

PC Suite: "Could not update contacts" - "Kunne ikk...

I got my new Nokia 6220 Classic yesterday and went immediately start to manage my contacts. I have pictures on about 70 to 202 contacts.
When I had to add a picture to a contact, PC Suite posted an error "Could not update contacts" Since my phone was set to via Bluetooth I tried with the USB cable without success. I rebooted phone and PC but it was the same.
I uninstall PC Suite and tried again but the USB cable and Bluetooth, without success. Today, I am at my job where I use the USB interface. Exact same error. I tried to update the firmware on the phone, but with the same, because there is not a newer version. But I get the same problem. The calendar works as it should, but messages do not work, here comes the message "The message could not be sent." - I can (From job, not at home) see the messages which have come, but can't answer or create new messages ..
Now I run a PC Suite Cleaner and reinstalled PC Suite. Same problem.
What should I try and what can be wrong?
I am happy using PC Suite and I use it very much! I want it to work .. )
Please.. ;o)

Hmm... I think I have solved this..
I started by taking a Backup this morning.
Now I finally desided to delete all and start over. I made another Back up, Restored the Back up from erliere. Then set contact memory to SIM and back to Phone...
And now it works?!?!?!!?
Only a few photoes to some contacts has to be redone, and som contacts appear more then once.. But My Suite works!
Suuiiittee!! (Sweeet!)
I really hope some one elles but me figures this out..

Contacts not shown in messages sent via PC Suite

Hi all,
OS : Windows XP SP2
Connectivity : USB CA 101
Handset : Nokia N 82
Handset details : V 30.0.019
RM-313
Issue : If i send any message from my phone, in sent folder the contact person's name will display whereas for the messages sent via pc suite's communication centre, in sent folders only numbers are displayed despite the contacts are stored in the phone, same contacts' name will displayed if a message is sent via phone??? Is it an issue? Known bug from PC Suite ???

there may be differencies between phone models here (S60 devices or S40 devices, you have S40). Also if I recall right, it used to be so that some older versions of PC Suite did not save the PC sent sms's to phone.
However, with my N95 the messages are saved. So make sure you have the latest Pc Suite and then try again. If it fails, then it might be that message saving is not supported with S40 phones (Anyone having a S40 phone could verify this)

How do I read & update email group subscription status for a specific contact via api?

Looking at Eloqua's api documentation, I can find out how to update contacts, and even the global subscription flag, however we want to build a page on our custom website whcih allows users to opt in and out of specific email groups (as can be done manually from the contact page / preferences tab)
I cant find the appropriate api documentation for this - I found a page for contacts:
REST API - Contact Fields
and a page for email group:
REST API - Email Groups
any idea how can I find and udpate the object linking the two ?!?

Via REST API, the bare bones call is:
PUT /API/REST/2.0/data/contact/{contactid}/email/group/{groupid}/subscription
"type": "ContactEmailSubscription",
"contactId": "3174",
"emailGroup": {
"type": "EmailGroup",
"id": "15",
"depth": "minimal",
"name": "Test Email Group"
"isSubscribed": "false"
Where isSubscribed can be toggled to true. This is the same call made by the UI when you open the contact record, move to the preferences tab and right click to subscribe or unsubscribe on an email group:
The list of email groups and their ids can be obtained via GET /assets/email/groups. I recommend adding ?depth=minimal to avoid retrieving unnecessary configuration information.
Best regards,
Bojan

Can't update nokia e72 via ovi suite

So there is "maps data update application" on available updates list. I connect my device via USB, push the "next" button on the updates screen and it says that my sim card is missing when its not. It also says "please change the USB mode on your device to PC suite mode" on the bottom left corner, where the phone pic is, but im already using PC suite mode. Restarted the phone, made sure I'm using General profile - nothing helps. Any ideas whats wrong?

well i have updated my maps and my maps data via ovi suite numerous times, ovi suite is pcsuite+NSU+Maps updater+map loader, its an all in one and if you are using an updated version of maps, it will show you a prompt to update in the software update tab, so basically it does update ur maps version too but in this case i don't really know what the problem is, might be an OS conflict or might be a firmware error too. I recommend that you run ovi suite using adminstrator privileges on vista/7,right click on the program icon and then selct run as adminstrator, diable any antivirus program that you are using and ten try updating using ovi suite. If this doesnt work then please soft reset ur phone using the phone *#7370#, this should fix most firmware glitches, please backup all data on phone memory before performing a soft reset, these steps should fix all problems that you've mentioned.

Cannot update contacts in either PC Suite or Ovi S...

In Ovi suite, after updating then syncing contacts, Ovi suite tells me contacts have been successfully synced, but nothing in my handset contacts has changed.
In PC suite, after updating a contact, I get the message: "Writing contact failed. Try to restart application " (Which doesn't work).
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling all Nokia software to no avail.
This means I have to manually update contacts on the handset, which is no fun when there are hundreds of contacts with addresses, emails, photos etc.
Please help.

Problem ransferring contacts to 5800XM via PC suit...

I am having problem transferring my contacts from Outlook 2003 contacts file to my new 5800 via PC Suite. My computer is runnung Windows 2000.
I have tried importing the file into PC Suite as .txt and as .csv but get the message that file is in the wrong format.
Can anyone outline the correct procedure or point out where I might be going wrong?
Thanks!

Outlook contacts can not be copied to PC Suite as csv or txt file.
You can try Nokia PC Sync to sync the conacts of Outlook to the new phone. (The middle icon of the first row in PC Suite panel.)
There's a chapter on "Synchornise" in the help.
What's the law of the jungle?

I have the iPhone 4S, IOS 7 Version: I am unable to update my contacts via Facebook? I have tried settings facebook. update contacts and it does nothing?

Unable to update my facebook contacts with my iphone 4S IOS 7 version. Have tried setting>facebook> update contacts it does nothing

Same problem here. Just added a friend on Facebook and I'm trying to find a way to make him show up in my contacts list. I tried the "Update Contacts" mentioned above, also logged out of Facebook in the settings and logged back in and tried to update again and he's still not turning up.
While looking into this I also noticed a bunch of contacts who don't have duplicates and whose info seems only to be coming from my Google account although I'm friends with them on Facebook and I'd like to have both sets of info available in one place.
So something with the syncing is not working right.
(Also working with 4S & iOS 7)
Edit - ended up in this thread through a search and only just now noticed it's probably in the wrong place in "iPhone Hardware". Anyway if anyone has any pointers that would be greatly appreciated, if not I'll take this to a more appropriate sub-forum.

Editing Contacts via keypad causes OPERATION FAILE...

Initially I entered info for approximately 60 contacts into my new Nokia 6131 phone memory using the phone keypad. Everything worked fine. Then I discovered the CONTACTS application in Nokia PC Suite software was a lot easier to use for data input, so I started to use that application via my PC to edit my contacts.
Now, when I try to edit a contact using the phone keypad, I regularly get the OPERATION FAILED error, which prevents saving the revised contact information. This is EXTREMELY frustrating, because there is no indication of a cause for the error. 95 percent of the memory in my phone is free, so problem is not related to memory capacity. I can delete certain parts of contact info, like an extra phone number, or an image, and that seems to work without generating the error, but you cannot add or modify anything. I can only reliably edit my contacts using PC suite and then synchronizing the changes. I have updated PC suite and the phone firmware to the latest available versions, but that didn't help. DOES anyone know what causes this OPERATION FAILED error?

Thank you miksu,
Yes, my phone UI is idle when I try to browse/edit contacts. Today, I thought I'd try resetting factory settings and see if that cleared the problem. So I backed up the phone, reset factory settings and tried to restore from the backup - disaster, it would not restore contacts at all and I was left with a phone minus 400+ contacts! I tried backups that I had previously restored successfully from - still no go.
So I rebuild the contacts from my Outlook, compared it manually with what I had on my old 6230 (fortunately I still have the phone with contacts intact), made updates manually and all is now OK. The OPERATION FAILED does not appear on the phone and I can browse/edit my contacts on the PC.
Although everything is fine now, I will use PC Suite with caution. Perhaps my understanding of the product is not good enough, but I am not keen on risking it.

Sending SMS to more than one contact via Nokia PC ...

I had to send three mates the same message with details of an event coming up. It was going to be long so I wrote it via PC Suite so I could use the PC's keyboard, selected the three contacts and pressed send.
This is probably something for Nokia to think about when they next do not only the phones firmware, PC Suite but even Life Blog.
The message was sent to three contacts as I said... according to the log in my N70 it only went to the first contact... I updated to Life Blog as normal and it was the same.
I need to be able to track messages. the only way round it I can see is type the message three times and do three separate messages instead of one sent to three contacts.

AHhrrr....
Just went into message details on my N70 and it does list all three contacts there...
Also if in Lifke Blog if you click properties it shows all three contacts.
Even though I have resolved my own problem I'm sure Nokia could allow there software to show the fact it has gone to more than one contact a little easier.
