BB Torch :: Resetting Contact List Default To Another Email
Apr 10, 2011
Phone Details:
BB Torch 9800
OS Release: v6.0.0.246, Platform 6.4.0.105
I am having difficulty resetting the Contact List default, so I can synchronize my phone and Outlook email contacts and calendar. I recently added a gmail account and this has become the default. I need to reset the Contact List back.I have deleted the gmail account from my phone and restored older backups, this doesn't work.
I recently needed to re-add all of my email accounts, doing it in a hurry I forgot to un-check 'sync contacts' when setting up my hotmail email. I now have 300+ random email addresses in my contacts list that I cant seem to get rid of. I had a look on desktop manager and all i could do was delete all -therefore including the numbers in my contact list too...obviously i don't want to do this....just want to get rid of all of these email addresses! I have tried deleting the email account and this also doen't work!
"How can I force the Contacts app on my 9780 to only load 1 of my contact lists by default?"
Context:I have 2 primary sources of contact information on my blackberry, my personal (gmail contacts) and my work contacts (via google apps). I would like to keep these contact lists separate and apart from one another, but accessible if required. However, as this device is primarily for work, I'd like to not have my personal contacts appearing every time i open the Contacts app. The effect I am trying to achieve is after opening contacts --> click menu --> click "Select Contact List..." --> and choosing one.Is there a way to save this as a preference/default so I don't have to filter each time i open my contact list?
We have a contact list in html format in our organization. The contact list is displayed by the BB browser. The emails and phone numbers in this list work fine for other models we have (9650,etc.) But users with new BB Torch 9800 can not click on the phone numbers or emails any more. Our provider is ATT. The OS I believe is 6.0.0.246.
Today, suddenly, my contacts won;t sync with Outlook. i tried to change the Default Contact list, but the only opion is a gmail account that is not on my phone anymore, not my Outlook account. How do i get the Outlook account back?
I am trying to change existing contacts that were unknowing saved in "Unknown Contact List" to "Default Contact List" can someone please explain if/how I can do this???? I have already tried deleting my address book and restoring it but that didnt work..i need my contacts in default to make the Vlingo app to work...
I just bought a bold 9700 and the default services for the contacts list is still showing the previous owner's email address. I am new to blackberry and can't figure out how to change this the calendar and email are both showing my email address but the default for contacts doesn't give me an option to change or select another address. I am running OS 6.
I am trying to change a CONTACT LIST from a hotmail account to an outlook account. However I just did a wipe and restore an the option of contact list has vanished from the default services. All I want to do is get the outlook contacts sync'd with my BBCurve.
Two days ago I added a gmail account to my Curve 8530. After that I noticed that I had many duplicate contacts in my address book. I went to gmail and merged the duplicates. After that, I downloaded google sync and tried to sync my contacts between gmail and my phone. After that I had some names listed 6 or 7 times. Needless to say it was quite frustrating.
I deleated the gmail account and deleated google sync. I turned off the phone and took the battery out for about a minute. After that, I installed the latest version of Desktop manager and succesfully synced my contacts with outlook on my computer. Now, I have single contacts with no duplicates. However, when I am in my contacts and select "Options," it lists my gmail account as the only option for "Contact Lists." Also, when I go to the home screen and select "Options" - "Default Services" - I do not have an option for contacts any more. It is gone. All I have there is "Calendar (CICAL):" and "Messaging (CMIME):" Where did my Contacts option go and why does it still show gmail as my contacts list?
I have set my default ring tone under the Sounds, media, options and even custom profiles, but my contacts all stay on the classic ringer unless I go into each one individually and edit them. Which is a HUGE pain in the arse! I just want all my contacts to follow the ring tone I set on the phone and they refuse to follow the default
I just switched my OS to version 6.0 and I am careless to set a wrong email address on the filed of Contact List(SYNC) in Default Service of Advanced System Setting of Device under the "Option".
I've tried to cancel this email address on Google Mailbox and I remove this email address setting in my Bold 9700 as well. But this email address still exist in the filed of Contact List (SYNC)?
Anybody know how to remove or change it? Because in this field, there is no other option to change to my other email addresses!
Because of that, Blackberry Desktop Software can't synchronize my contact list to my laptop!
I recently added my gmail address to device. In Options/ Advanced options / Default services It only lists my Gmail account for contact List (Sync).I want to switch to my POP account as that is where I maintain my contact list.how do I get my POP acct in that list?
On iPhone 4s, how do I prevent personal email accounts (yahoo, gmail) from accessing my work email contact list? I want to keep my work contact list private.
I need to reset an existing email and setup is now asking me to login with a user name and password, this has not been the case in the past on my phone. I do not have a password enabled on my phone. It will give a forgotten password option and asks for a username. No matter what email address I give it tells me the password was successfully sent to my blackberry, but it does not appear in any of my email addresses. I have shut off the phone; taken out the sim card and battery and started back up and that doesn't change it either.
my contact list is default set to a gmail account that no longer exists (all the contacts are there). i have tried to delete/change this but the option isn't there. how do a establish a new contact list?
My contacts displays everything twice. I have noticed that there is a contact list for an email that does not exist anymore. how to delete the second contact list and the invalid email associated with it.
Have 2 contact lists a gmail and a hotmail I want only one that is not at all associated with ether email accounts how do I do this... I know this is not the form for this but I can't figure out how to make a new forum so this is the best thing I can think of so any help would be awesome I'm trying to use Vlingo app but it only recognizes my gmail account and its less then half of my contacts.
I'm trying to restore my bbm contact list via email, I receive the email but I know I shouldn't be able to see or "read" the email myself - It should do it automatically.
It seems when I download an app anyone who is in my BBM contact list gets a message that I downloaded that app. Where can I find the setting so that no one gets this message???
How do you delete the gmail contact list off blackberry? It simply would not allow. Even after deleting the whole email. wtf. Don't any <Innappropriate content removed> here say sync a blank contact list because in the contact list, the gmail account will still be active and will download again!
I have many contacts that somehow got into an 'Unknown' Contact List. Is there a way to change the contact list they are in? I have tried to edit the contact, but it doesn't allow me to change the contact list
I can't synch my contact list with outlook using BB desktop software. This seems to have happened after recent software upgrade. When I scroll the Synch options contact and calendar are missing. When I go to Device and Advance Settings and Default Services only my webmail accounts are shown and none of my outlook email accounts. How can I get back to synching with my outlook folder?
I've switched my exchange carrier for my email account (have access to both) that is connected to my bbm contacts, the default email is different between the two carriers, how can I get my contacts back?
I have a BB9300 curve and I can't change my contact sync either.The email contact is an older one and I have deleted the account from by BB, but to no avail. I can't change default email to sync contact in my bb torch no matter what I tried. Your tips also didn't work
