Galaxy S6 :: Editing Contacts - Entries Grayed Out
Sep 30, 2015
So I have some contacts with outdated phone numbers. When I open up the contact in question and then hit the edit tab I often don't see the number(s) that need to be changed or deleted. Across the top of the screen right under the "save" and "cancel" tabs I see a horizontal list of where this contact has an entry - - Google, Phone, Cloud, WhatsApp. Sometimes the phone numbers I'm looking for are in one of these but there seems to be no way to edit these as the entries are greyed out so they cannot be changed.
FWIW on the main Contacts setting I have it set up to only display Gmail linked entries.
How to get rid of incorrect phone numbers listed in any given contact entry?
I have no cursor when entering or editing the subjects of calendar entries. A key has to be pressed to determine where in the field the cursor is. A setting or a faulty phone?

I tried synced my iPhone to my itunes, but all my settings changed to the settings of my iPod. But now i cant edit my calendar or contacts on my iPhone. How can i fix it?
A made an absolute shambles of syncing my contacts with Outlook. First I had to change simm card so I downloaded contacts from my old sim to my BB before the Sim was voided. I am now working with the new SIM. I connected up to BB desktop manager and tried to sync contacts in a two way sync between BB and Outlook. The result on my BB is a disaster. I have up to 4 separate entries for the same contact. EG email address is one entry, home phone another entry, mobile another entry etc etc.Is there a way I can easily get atthe file, say in excel format, so I can edit and merge the contacts using my pc and then import the corrected file onto my BB?
Need help editing contacts. They dublicate each time I sync with itunes, deleted ones from phone reappear. Can't find master list on itunes (?) Apple computer to edit. Not using address book - so where are they coming from? I do have icloud.
the only complaint I have is related to my contact list. It seems to have immediately synced with my Facebook, which is cool and all, but I don't have the ability to merge my existing contact with a person's number to their facebook profile contact. Furthermore, when I attempt to manually add the number to the Facebook contact, I don't appear to have the ability to execute such a function. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this some sort of odd restriction placed on the phone?
What's the best way to edit contacts ? I would like to add emails and address's for some of my friends. I would prefer to do it on my pc so I can cut and paste info saved on my pc. Posted from my BlackBerry using BerryBlab?

I had hoped that the latest update would solve the greyed out Contacts synch option. No such luck! I have not been able to synch contacts for the past 3 months. And you wonder why Blackberry stock continues to fall? This will probably be my last Blackberry if something doesn't change soon!
I have a Curve 8520 and a week ago I noticed I couldn't add or edit contacts on the device.I've already tried wipping and reinstalling the operating system, but it was useless.
Recently I purchased a N8 and using "switch phone" I transferred all my data from my 5800 Xpress music to it. I noticed that all edited labels in phone "contacts" turned to the default labels. Tried to edit them again but such an option is not given by the firmware. The same happens with songs details. I can not find an option to change title, genre,
How to export all of the contacts from my phone into a format that I can view and make changes and then import back to the phone. I have had to many issues with my contacts.

I am getting a replacement 8530 for my current 8530 because my trackpad is off centered and recently I am now able to move it around. I called verizon explained everything and their answer "software problem, we're sending you a new one under your warranty" Whatever, its physical not software, but they are sending me out a replacement anyways so I dont care.
However, how do I put stuff on the new one? I use blackberry desktop manager, and click "Backup" and it backs up. When I connect the new one do I just click "Restore"? Also when I back up, the tab for contacts is grayed out and I CANNOT click it. So I wont be able to restore that, why?
Just upgraded to the 4S. I set it up by "restoring" to the last backup on the Cloud, but for some reason, in the "Settings" panel, the iCloud option is grayed out. This is also the case for all of my individual email addresses under "Mail, Contacts,..." I called support and they just made me reset my password - twice - which hasn't done anything but annoy me.
If you change the dpi to anything lower than the default dpi of 640, the camera UI is no longer full screen and there exists a black margin at the sides.
Since Xposed App Settings does not work here, is there a way around this?
Using Contacts to enter birthdates/anniversaries - I store some of my contacts as couples/families (contact numbers are the same) (eg Mary & Terry in notes children Peter (birthdate) Anne (birthdate).

How I can delete duplicate contact and address book entries on my Storm 2 (running .428). I initially installed Google Sync app which synced the contacts correctly without duplicates but the address book entries got duplicated. I subsequently added my Gmail account using the built-in email set up, now I have duplicate contacts. On the web, there are no duplicates on neither the address book nor my contacts. I have disabled the contact sync on the Google Sync, with no luck. I searched the forum and it seems there are others that have reported the same problems but no real solutions have been offered.
I have a bb curve 8300 from sprint and for 4 times in a row with two phones, i have an error message that pops up after taking out the battery. every time i get it the sprint store resets the phone and wipes all my contacts and calendar entries. this is getting very frustrating and making me want to get rid of my blackberry even though i like it a lot. once i get the error message is says resent under it and if you press it, it looks like its starting up again but then the error message comes up and that it. it just does it over and over again.
Why is the option to move some apps grayed out? I had a launcher installed that would ask me if I wanted to move apps, but I deleted it. Now I can't move anything because the option just isn't there. Galaxy S5, lollipop ....
