Galaxy S5 :: Can Remove Size Limit On Notes Field In Contacts?
May 11, 2014
My Galaxy S5 synchronises with my Outlook contacts (via Microsoft Exchange). On the Galaxy, the notes field in Contacts seems to have a size limitation, and will only show ~1,000 characters, truncating any information beyond that and preventing me from editing or adding information via the handset. This is annoying as many of my contact records contain far more than 1,000 characters of information in the notes field. Any way of removing the size limitation? Alternatively is there some 3rd party application that synchronises seamlessly with Outlook contacts via Microsoft Exchange?
The S6 is my second Android phone. First was an LG G2. I'm noticing my Exchange contact notes are truncated on the S6. Seems to display first 1000 characters only. My G2 did not exhibit this limitation.
I did some searching around on this subject and it seems to be a common Samsung complaint.
My workaround so far has been to use the Outlook app when I need all notes for a given contact. This workaround is somewhat inconvenient and I'd like to find a better way to natively manage Contacts.
I'm eligible to upgrade my HTC EVO LTE and have been thinking of moving to the Samsung S5, but any size limit on notes in the Contacts app is a deal-killer. Samsung started truncating the notes field in the S3 and did the same with the S4. The limit is around 980 characters; see this discussion about the S4 for details: the notes section in a contact is limited in the s4 - xda-developers.
Be sure to try editing larger notes since it might seem like you can import large notes with a contact, but they get truncated as soon as you try to edit them in-app. I'm really hoping that Samsung fixed this in the S5 since it's a serious limitation if you keep detailed notes with your contacts, or import from something like Outlook.
Yesterday I upgraded my Bold 9000 to Bold 9900. The transition went smooth, with one exception - the Notes field size in Contacts is much smaller than in Bold 9000 and the text in that field got truncated.. I keep customer service logs in that field and the major reason for upgrading was the possibility of fast scrolling to the end of the Notes field to add new records. Now this purpose is irrelevant since the data entered in this field in Bold 9000 doesn't even fit in it in Bold 9900. If I don't find a workaround, I will have to revert to my Bold 9000 and return the new device.
I am considering purchasing a BB Tour 9630.I use the Notes field of MS Outlook contacts extensively.Some of my notes per contact are over 10,000 characters in length.My Palm Treo 700p allows me to view/edit these long notes.Can the notes field of the BB contact manager handle this many characters or will it be truncated to a shorter length? I am a small operation not using an Exchange Server.Also, do I need any other device software than what comes with the BB to sync with my PC's local Outlook PST?

After syncing my Outlook calendar to the phone, I noticed all my "Subject" data had been cut off at 15 characters on the phone. It even limits me to 15 characters when typing in a new "Event". Any way to change this or am I limited to 15 characters?
When I synchronise my Desktop with my devise I am loosing Outlook notes because the notes field in my Torch is limited. So if I have extended my notes in outlook and then synchronize at the end of the day, I loose part of the notes I have written because the notes field in the torch wont accept them.Can the notes field in the Torch be extended?
I limit the size of the emails that I am receiving? I'm using my BB Curve in Belgium where my contract limits me to 150MB/month. Idont want to receive large documents, just the email that goes with them and would like to keep the size limit to say 10KB. Was easy to do this on my Nokia but I didnt get any instructions with my BB.
Is there a maximum limit (dimensions or filesize) for the wallpaper on a Z2?
I have made a wallpaper that is 5400x1920 and is 1.16mb. I made it that wide so that when scrolling I get a different image for each of the 5 screens that I use. Whats happening is the image shows and scrolls across like it is supposed to but it "flashes" between the image and a black screen.
I'm trying to determine if there is a relatively simple way around this. I need to transfer a 5GB file to the external micro SD card but cannot due to the file size limitations for FAT on the micro SD. Reformating it to NTFS will not work as the xoom cannot read that file type...
I'm having difficulty sending an email of a short video I took on my new Atrix. Upon hitting the share button and selecting email, I get the error "
Video size exceeds limit".
the email address I am using is within my own domain of which I am the controller. There is no limit on my mailbox in regards to how large a file I can send. I wonder how to adjust the settings ont he Atrix to cure this bug/feature.
I upgraded my Tour OS to 5.0.0.419 yesterday and like it for the most part. However, I just found out a change I don't like. I tried to forward a MMS message to 11 people and get an error saying "Recipient list size exceeds limit." I have a group of people I forward stuff to. I don't want to go back to 4.7 because of something like this. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a fix or setting I may have missed?
Am I the only one having this problem? A search on Google displays nothing.I created a new group, and apparently only 10 people can be in a group at a time.
I have been using my Photon to record video and am starting to get tired of the 2gb or 23 minute file limit where the recording stops and I have to start the recording process again, does anybody know of a way to turn this feature off?
I have spent hours on the phone with CompanionLink (arguably the best software for synchronizing Outlook to Android) -- regarding a problem with the "Notes" field being truncatred in the native Gingerbread Contact application.It has been determined that long "Notes" entries in the Gingerbread version are truncated -- where they were NOT in Froyo.We have determined that the notes data is actually there and visible if one long-presses the contact -- and selects "Edit". However, the entire notes text is not viewable when using the native Contact application normally.There happens to be an "More" type icon on the right side of the notes section (about half-way down) that looks like it would expand the section -- however, in my version of Gingerbread on DroidX -- it does not work or do anything other then turning the screen blue when it is depressed.
Every time i want to write SMS a language field appears and i have to klick it to scroll it out of the screen get to the send button behind it.How do i disable it so it does'nt appear every time?
Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the text message limit. On my old D1 I know there was an option, but I don't see it on the D3, this is a pretty big deal for me.
My bb won't send any email saying "the quota size limit is exceeded". I've tried deleting several emails and still not working! I've removed batttery ad reset and still not working.
I have two RAZR HD and get "Message Size Limit Reached" whenever I try attaching a pic in the Text App on only one of them. The unbranded one that I won as a prize in a Motorola contest.
This mesage comes up after clicking on "Resize" when attaching the pic.
is is possible to limit the contacts display to the contacts stored in the phone only? If i have contacts on my SIM cards and in the phone the contact display lists all of them. I couldn't find an option to limit the display to the phone storage only. So i see duplicates. This is anoying. Even my 6 year old 3110 classic can do this! Nokia - where have you hidden this option?
I broke the screen on my S5 and my provider was able to get me a new phone however since my screen is broken - completely black (broken LCD) they were unable to transfer contacts, pictures, data, etc...
I am trying to back up the S5 to my PC but the software that I have been finding all needs some sort of authorization on the phone - which I am unable to do.
Since the new software update for my E71 (500.21.009) I have a new application called IBM Lotus Notes Traveler. Because I don't need/use it I want to remove it but every time I do it just installs itself and shows me the welcome wizard of that program. I removed it using the app manager. So does anybody know how to remove this or is it 'impossible'?
With previous Nokia phones I have been able to create names against phone numbers, necessary when I may have 6 or more phone numbers for one contact.
It seems impossible to do this with the E7-00, so I now have a list of phone numbers per contact and no way of telling the difference between each number.
I have a BB Bold 9780. I have been trying for sometime to find a solution to customize the 'Phone Numbers' field of 'Contacts'. The 'Phone Numbers' field has following sub fields- Mobile, Mobile 2, work, Work 2, Home, Home 2, Other, Work Fax, Home Fax and Pager. Is there someway I can customize them to my requirement? Is there an app or a software upgrade to customize these frozen fields to whatever I want?
Blackberry 9700 . i have changed my email address i want to synchronize my 'contacts' with this address instead of my old mail address using wireless synchronization. How do i do it?
I just updated to the 500.21.009 firmware on my Nokia E63 and now I am regretting that I made the switch.I think this version of the firmware is not stable at all.
The first question is: How do I remove the annoying Lotus Notes Traveler? Uninstalling it doesn't work. I have read the solution is to use YBrowser, but I don't want to pay for using this software, nor do I want to use an untrusted application on my phone. Let's just say that I am paranoid about such things.
What is the next best solution to remove this? I really can't understand why Nokia is forcing this software on its users. Seriously. Not everyone uses Lotus Notes. And if you want to force it, why not provide an easy way to remove it?
I have a Nokia E72 with nevest software and Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1. I have syncrinized my contacts with Notes and then I have assigned some contacts to the phones speed dial. This assignment is removed every time i syncronize with Notes
