Galaxy S5 :: How To Save Contacts By Alpha Last Name First
May 8, 2015
Most of my contacts were copied over when I got the SGS5. However, now when I add new contacts, the phone is saving them in alpha order by first name instead of last name, which I prefer. Is there a place where I can select to save by alpha last name?
On the contact-more-settings-import/export page, when i hit export, the phone sends a .vcf file. (to itself) there is no further menu option to save to sim?
It came with a verizon sim but im using it with another sim now. Is this a sim problem? I can make calls and get messages and otherwise the phone works fine.
I updated my original dev alpha device to the newest OS release... While all the features are good.. the problem is with camera when i start the camera it displays a black screen ..all the camera functions work though and it can take photos..only the display becomes black..when we rotate the device the black screen disappears for a moment and then reappears...
i have a BB 10 Alpha device A and its not turning on! i tried to upgarde its software but during setup it the desktop software demands the pin of my dev and i forgot what is was! and its not even showing it when i connect it with with my pc, i have the IMEI and PN of the device how can i find my pin code!
So basically i woke up one morning with no contacts in my phonebook when i had about 50 the day before. So i now have no numbers and also it won't let me save contacts either :| i re-add a contact, it says saved, but then returns to the 'add a contact' page.
Originally I was having a problem where whenever I tried to load an application onto my device I would get an error saying that there was not enough room on the device. (Even though there was about 15GB left...)I decided to try a "Data Wipe" from the Settings menu.The Data Wipe seems to have worked a little too well and wipe everything on the device except the browser app. The device also does not connect to the PC anymore.Whenever I connect it to a computer the "BlackBerry Smartphone" driver installs but nothing else. The Device Manager does not recognize it either. Nor does the Desktop Manager.I have tried a couple different computer and nothing has worked.I have also tried to install the device update, but because none of the drivers will recognize the device I cannot install the update as the update tool does not recognize the device is plugged in.
Has anyone noticed that the device software v5 upgrade has a bug? I am unable to activate the alpha keyboard to enter registration codes for my purchased applications. Only the numberical keyboard is working.
I have the Blackberry 9700 V5.0.032,I had my email sync with the contacts but then it duplicated all my contacts list when I already had the settings to 'NO' In duplicated names. I found out you can erase the duplicated names by pressing Option -> then press letters RSET --> which deleted ALL my contacts clean instead. I tried to put the names and numbers back into my phone but it wont let me save and so now I don't have any contacts on my phone.
im having a problem with this month ago. I cant save my contacts to my phonebook. Everytime im trying to save it imy phone is just freezing and will turn off.
save my contacts on my PC ? I had problems with the synchronization, all contacts are saved 3 times ! I need to clean it and it is easier if I do it through the PC.
Im having issues saving contacts on my iphone 4 it wont save the number at all ive restored the phone like 4 times and ive done resetting the phone by holding down home button and power button still have the problem?
I have a 8900 BB. I've had problems from day one with it. I'm on my third one. Blackberry said it was the OS. If it's not fixed, why do they keep sending me the same phone? On the latest one, I can't save, edit, or delete any contacts. I didn't realize it until I tried to put some new numbers in. I also can't send e-mails. I can receive them, I just can't send them. I was told this is the OS too. What if anything can I do? It locks up a lot too. I'll be in the middle of something and it just decides to reboot
I have my partners old 8900 curve and have been using it fine for a year, except that his old contacts were saved on the phone and mine on the SIM. I decided to delete his old contacts so I could copy mine over, I found on the internet that you can use RSET in the contact menu to delete all contacts at once. It worked perfectly but now the Blackberry will not save any new contacts, at all, ever!
It won't copy them from the SIM and it won't even save a contact when entered manually. I don't use it for anything other than phone calls and emails, so it has no apps that I know of.Also I have no software on my laptop to back it up or update it etc, I really only use it to read emails and receive phone calls when i'm not in the office.
There is no option to save a number to contacts from an SMS message.
There is no way to select the number at the top. There is no option in the menu when viewing a message or highlighting one in the list. Infact no-where on the phone is a save to contacts option for anything. Why? This kind of feature was available in the 80s on a piece of rock.
Note - The phone is running the latest software it can. Also I am aware that i can click the blackberry button to bring up the menu, select show recipients and tediously highlight then number, copy, then exit out and open up the contacts app, create or edit a contact and paste the number in. This is 100% UNACCEPTABLE from a 'smart phone', i may as well use pen paper and pidgeons.
I want to save my contacts to a folder on my Mac Desktop. Once you have"backed up" address book using the BB software-you are able to "restore" your contacts to your phone
