BB Bold :: Can't Type Contact Name To Dial From Home Screen
Dec 7, 2010
I searched the forum and found this problem mentioned a few times in the past, but the solutions are all for older OS, that is not applicable to the current 6.0 OS. There does not seem to be a "Dial From Home Screen" option to check any more.
Used to be, typing the beginning of a name from the Home screen brought up matches in the Contacts list so you could easily call them.Now when I type a name, other apps (mail,texts, etc) will display matches, but nothing from contacts. Indeed, dialing from the Home screen doesn't work at all -- I can't even type in a number.

I have a Bold 9700 running 5.0.0.545 with bell mobility. When I upgraded to this version I am no longer able to type in a contact name from the home screen to dial them. I now have to go into the address book, then type their name. I can only enter numbers directly from the home screen. Is anyone else having this issue?

In my old Xperia phone, I can create Direct Dial shortcut on Home Screen. In which the icon displayed for the shortcut is the photo in the Contact. However, after I changed to the new Z2, the photo can't be displayed as icon on the Home Screen.

I'm using Nova Launcher. Whenever I exit my applications with the home button, it directs me to the homescreen selection/dial (not sure what the appropriate name is). . :/

My Photon automatically defaults to the dial screen when I press the call button from the home screen. It used to display the last tab used or recent calls if I had missed one. I have scanned through all of the options and can't seem to find an option to change this.

how to edit which information from the contacts that will be displayed when trying to call a contact? I cannot get anything else than Firstname, Company showed - which is not how I want this.
Furthermore I have found no way to lookup addresses in the Nokia Car navigator from contacts.

I can receive emails via the wifi in my home but cannot dial out. The phone continues to say radio off and when attempt to call out it asks to restore the connectio, so I click on restore connections and after a few seconds it says no service currently available. How do I fix this or is the system down?

I would like to put an Emergency Contact on the home page of my phone. have the phone password protected, so when I hit the power button I see what time my alarm is set, and how many new emails have arrived. Is the a way to create a notification that would always exist on the home page that I can add the text?

T-Mobile forced an updated to my Samsung 5 Android last evening. Now the Contact shortcuts created by the Widgets have disappeared from my home screen. I created them again they sat there for a few hours and then disappeared, now I'm creating them for the third time.

When I used a Droid phone, I was able to put my 9 most used contacts on one of the home screens as shortcuts. Im finding out that the iPhone 4 takes more time to get to my contacts even though there is a favorites section. I'd like to put that on the home screen instead of having to click phone>contacts>favorites>then scroll to find my favorites. I want to swipe to the contacts page and click one of my top 9 favorite contacts! Possible? If not, I plead with Apple to make this possible. It was the only thing I liked about my Droid!
Info:iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

Is there a way to keep the contact icons on the home page from flipping. I would really like to to have either the photo or the name show without the animation.

When I got my E5 I could start typing a name of a contact and the search worked nicely. But now nothing happens as I type - it just shows the text/numbers that I have entered. I'd like to get this back as it's a really nice feature. Is there something I should be turning on/off to get this to work?

I'm using my 6720c:Is it possible to dial a contact just by "saying" its name into the phone? I think so, but I didn't manage to so far.How do I add several numbers to a single contact? The Nokia phones that I had before distinguished between private, work and mobile number. I'd like to do that on my 6720c, too.Thanks for any response.

For some reason, when I go to dial a number imported from the cloud it'll show up doubled, as seen below. It will show the same exact numbers (in this example, both work and mobile) twice. Is there any way to change this so that I get one mobile and one work phone? Running Android 5.0

I recently upgraded to OS 5 on the Tour and noticed the whole messaging functionality has changed a lot. With the old OS I could select an email and choose to forward. Then in the To: field I could start typing a contact's name from the address book and it would autocomplete the user and let me choose the address I wanted. Now with OS 5.0 when i type in the contact's name nothing happens. And there is no option to select from a contact list. What am I missing? It shouldn't be this hard to send messages with the new OS, right?

When I create a sms message and in the To: field when i start typing the perons name it should come up, well only about 5 or 6 of my contacts will appear when their name is typed, the rest of my contacts I have to go to choose contact then go thourgh my address book and pick someone.
How do I get it so that all my contatcs can be searched by just typing their name?

Yesterday I upgraded the software on my Torch, to whatever the recommended upgrade was. Now, when I go to my contacts and touch the touch screen to dial one of the contacts, nothing happens. By upgrading did I all of a sudden lose the ability to dial simply by touching the contact name?

I kindly ask all people to post improvement suggestions for Nokia X6 here. I currently have 2 proposals:
1.) I would prefer a setting that "disables" the screen after I have hit a letter / number on the QWERTZ keyboard until I remove the finger. That would enable me to type really fast as hitting the right letter / no. is not a problem at all. The current solution where the hit letter can change when removing the thumb slighty to a side does more damage than good.
2.) Please make an update to the Contact list on the "Home Screen": The added contacts should be automatically sorted in alphabetical order!

I'm a n00b so I apologize in advance, but I just bought my Blackberry Bold and really dig this phone. However, I want to add more icons to the home screen other than the 5 that are currently on there.How do I do this? I am currently using the "Widescreen HD 9700 O550" theme (which looks really nice).I just switched over from the G1/Android OS so I am still learning my way around the Blackberry.

Just discovered my home screen is blank, so I thought I had accidentally changed/moved it when I turned on "Easy Mode" to check that out. Switched back to "Standard Mode", but found my home screen gone, with a blank page in it's place. I found some directions on how to move pages around, making one a home screen. I selected the page I wanted as home screen and moved it to the page where the white house icon is highlighted. I was done but noticed nothing had changed. Home page still blank, so I did it again. I find that whenever I try creating my home screen page by moving it to the highlighted white house icon, the white house icon shifts to the left, remaining blank.

A few days ago I switched to another phone for a few days and I left my Bold with its battery removed for a day or two.When I restarted my Bold 9700, I've been unable to see or act on the home screen or apps screen. However, the phone is still working (push on the green button and the phone screen pops up), same with the long press on blackberry key.
I did search to do a reset of my handset but I can't find a way to do it knowing that I can't access the menus.
