Nokia :: E72 Contacts Search Does Find Existing Contact
Mar 9, 2010
I am experiencing strange behavior of E72 contacts application.My contacts are synchronizes via Exchange (as is email, calendar and tasks).When I enter Contacts and seach for a specific name (starting H today, but it was a different letter) no contact is found when in fact this contact exists and I can find it by scrolling thru all contacts.I find that restarting the phone solves the problem for a while.
I am facing a very frustrating problem. Sometimes when I create/edit a contact and hit save, then search for that contact in my contacts I can't find it!! Or sometimes I can find it but with all the contact information deleted.I am using Verizon Backup assitant to manage my contacts. I wonder if anyone else have the same problem. That problem is not only frustrating, but also embarassing, especially when you are entering a new friend's contact while showing off your phone
All I did was modify my contacts settings to display contacts according to "custom settings" (instead of displaying contacts from ALL ACCOUNTS) and random contacts seemed to be ignored by the keypad lookup. When I would switch to the "Contacts" tab of the dialer and type out the name/ keyword, the same contact I was searching for WOULD be found. I even changed back to "All contacts" in the select contacts to display settings, but that didn't work.
An example of what I'm experiencing: when searching for a restaurant called "Second Grill", I would type in Grill using the keypad, and 6 other restaurants with Grill in their name popped up, but not Second Grill. When I typed in "Grill" in the contacts tab, "Second Grill" did show up as expected. Before changing the contacts settings at all, I know the lookup for Second Grill worked because I used it regularly.
I next went to Settings --> Applications --> Application manager and found 3 different "Phone" apps and cleared the cache of each one. Still didn't work. I did not try "Clear Data" for each one, as I was warned this would delete the application files (that didn't sound like what I wanted to do).
I have carefully entered the name and address for a store where I frequently shop. I told Siri to remind me to pick up coffe when I arrive at Trader Joe. Siri replies that she cannot find Trader Joe in my contacts. How can I make this super reminder function work?
For the past few days my 808 dialler no loger does Contact Search while tapping the T9 keys. I've checked that the setting is enabled.I've also found that Messaging no longer displays my contacts, just their phone numbers.The timing of this seems to coincide with the recent Social update for FP2, but it could be coincidence.

I've re-synced my contacts with Nokia Sync.
Everytime I edit a contact it creates a duplicate of the contact. Then when I go to delete the duplicate contact it occaisionally deletes both of them.
my bb 8520 no longer allows me to add a new contact or edit existing contacts. It doesn't even open when I click on the contact shortcut. Even did a virus scan but no viruses were detected.
A month ago my 8310 Curve, v. 4.5.0.55 (Platform 2.7.0.68) service provider O2, stopped being able to search and find Contacts unless I had added them after that date. These newer Contacts have not been folded into the original Address Book, but are all in a new and alphabetised list at the end of the original Contacts list. There are no Categories assigned, no Network sync, and Content is not protected. The Contacts are in the phone, not on the SIM.
Before this, I could type in to the Address Book or the phone the first 2-3 letters of someone's name and it would take me to that contact - now it says there's no such person. So I have to scroll through the entire address book to get to who I want, and then I can call/SMS etc.
i have a curve 8520. Suddenly i am facing a problem. i am not able to add any new contact or edit existing contact. I have restarted my phone number of times but the problem still persists.
I must be partially daft, but for the life of me, I can't find any way to quick-search contacts. When I go to the dialpad, dialing a number doesn't bring up any contacts; and attempting to press any keyboard buttons (i.e. "M" for "Michael") does absolutely nothing either.I am sure I must be missing something. Could anybody suggest what I'm doing wrong?
Trying to use app Map on Lumia 800 I am not able to find the search icon on the map allowing me to search for a place or business or shops etc. The only available icon is the search icon outside the map which only is used to search internet giving me a list of links which can not be connected to the map. I have tried to follow the instructions given in the manual however with no success. It all stops after launching the map. Note: This problem affects only the use of Map (Bing) and not Nokia Map or Nokia Drive. What am i doing wrong?
great new application which extends the searching capabilities within the conacts to include display names nick names phone numbers emails IM names is safe and quick without flaws. works automatically. if you have rootsh installed open xterm sudo gainroot apt-get install extended-contacts-search enjoy
On the N8 user guide page 37 & 38, it is written that we can call/search for a contact by entering the contact first or second name characters by selecting each number key once for each letter but I am unable to do that on my N8.
There isn't any soft key to activate/deactive the "Contact search" under option which is also written on the user guide.
For a while they just haven't been showing up on my iphone's iTunes - this seems to be a wider problem with itunes and podcasts since iOS5's last update? Specifically BBC Radio 4's 'The Now Show' (part of the 'friday night comedy podcast from the BBC' listing) It seems to show up fine on my iMac and I have even added the 'subscribe' link for desktop (to make itunes boot up and grab the podcast) to my Safari reading list and thus tried from the iphone to do the same and I get 'Safari cannot open the pge because the address is invalid' (it definitely isn't as it works fine on any other mac or pc with itunes !)

when i try to add a new contact it does not respond (in some cases the phone freezes) and i have to remove battery and start the phone again. again if I try to add any contacts it wont let me edit or create new contacts. Sometimes I got errors after the phone froze which were: net_rim_bb_addressbook_app(185) not responding. what can I do to resolve this?
My device BB curve 8900, since I upgraded to OS 5, when I press add new contact no response. I cannot either edit any existing contact. I removed the battery and put it back again, same problem.
I noticed that none of the discussions on how to add an email address to a contact (not from Incoming message) in Contacts focuses on an email address you may have been given which you want to manually add to an existing contact.
I've searched high and low, it seems I may be the first to report this issue:not long after I upgraded to the new firmware, I noticed that I can no longer search my contact list; I can get into contact list, but when I try to type some letters into the search box, the letters do not "stay", it comes up for a very brief moment and then deletes itself :-/
I've tried typing in other languages: same.
I've tried typing in other application: works as normal
I've tried clearing the cache using y-browser: no good
I've tried reseting the phone - both the 7370 and 7780 method: doesn't really fix it -> 7370 reset will fix it for a while, but as soon as I load my contact lists back in, it either stops working or allow for one more search and then it's gone.I'm suspecting it's related to the new firmware... and that's pretty much the only thing I haven't tried, I don't know how to roll-back the firmware
As you know Nokia confuses duplicate numbers and doesn't show any names for them, showing only the number
I have a missed called from someone and I'm sure I know the number but can't figure out who the caller was because evidently I have it with two contact entries.I dont want to search more than 400 contacts!
I have two N8s..1st I purchased in 11 Jan 2011 and second one on 27 Dec 2011. Both have latest firmwares (025.007.C03.01) installed on them. But there is a difference in search option for contacts.The first phone (black in the pic) has normal old fashioned keypad which occupies the whole screen. And the second one (white in the pic) has qwerty keyboard which occupies half the screen.Why is so?I want qwerty in black N8 too.
I am not able to add any new contacts on my BB curver 8900. It started this problem since two weeks. I tried removing the battery and all but still the issues is not solved. Also i think the phone got little slow.My BB Pin is 21921334.I am struggling now with my bb. i dont wanna loose it because i am so attached to my bb.I think there are only about 300contacts saved on the phone.
I have two emails that are synching to my BB (outlook and Gmail), my query show to move a contact that syncs with outlook and make it sync with Gmail. In other terms, let's suppose that Contact ABC is set to sync with Outlook, I need to know how to make it sync with Gmail.
I recently moved from an N95 to a X6 16GB. I transferred all of my data including 4,200 contacts successfully.However, when I attempted to use the search function in contacts I received the "Memory Full - Close Applications" message.When looking at the memory data both the C and E drives have plenty of available memory.I have tried reformatting and both soft and hard resets but the only successful solution has been to reduce the number of contacts to around 2,000. This is a real nuisance since it means that I cannot do a simple synch with Outlook on a regular basis.Does anyone else have this problem? More importantly, does any know a solution so that I can return to normal Outlook synchs as I did on my N95?
After soft reset on my nokia 701, the contact search option appear as qwerty key board instead of previous character tiles style alphabetic view , I have belle fp2 on my phone , I can't find adaptive search option on settings ->phone ,.
