Nokia Lumia :: 900 - Adding More Than 20 Persons In Groups?
Jun 28, 2012
Yesterday I finally wanted to organize my phone contacts. Why does the phone always go back to the group after adding a single member? I always have to click the add member again and then click the letter I was last and search for the next contact. This is very bothersome, why can't I select multiple contacts or at least go back right to where I last stopped.
Why in the world can I only add up to 20 members into a group? My family contacts is about 50 or 60 and my work contacts are at least 40 as well. Why is there such an arbitrary contact limit? If it is because of group SMS then simply make it possible to disable this feature for bigger groups.
Overall I find the people app very annoying. The Lumia 900 is a phone first, not a tablet. As such I would expect it to have all the features a phone needs. No phone profiles (Silent, Phone alert only, all alerts, etc.) no separate control for ringtone sound and all other sounds, no notification of missed events when the phone is locked.
The max number of persons allowed in a contact group is (as far as I know) restricted to 20 persons. This seems very low and I wonder why this restriction is applied. A limitation of 20 persons in a group is not practical.
Here is where I get stuck: When I am at the "New Group" screen, and it asks me to "Add a Member," I click the trackball and it brings me to my contact list. Then, whether I click the trackball or the menu button on the contact, I seem unable to add a member.
there is any way to make groups of ******* Say you want to separate work people from normal people? That way, I could just turn off ******” when I don’t want to be bothered with any calls.
I found one option to go on icloud and make new groups and add the contacts I want to those groups.
I cannot figure out how to get those new groups to actually show up on my phone.
I don't use icloud for anything, other than backing contacts, thats it.Â
BTW, without using any additional programs or downloads.Â
Anyway to surpass the 20 members per group limitation...I have to say this is really annoying why is it old androids phone let you have close to unlimited members per group according to your SD card storage, but not for Lumia 900
so I am thinking Nokia should mark this as a play phone not for business usage? I am quite frustrated that I got a new phone but force to use back my 5800 xpress music because most of my contacts transfer over is kinda screw up, and yes I have went to a Nokia care center and all they can reply "is a new software is like that".
suppose I wish to add some info from my contacts to an sms, is there any way to do that at present, except Cut and paste.In all my earlier phones there use to be "Add text" option (Android) or "add contact info" option by which I could directly add ny email/number.name from my address book to messages.

I cannot add my new Lumia 920 in Nokia Suite."the phone is not in PC USB mode"It was stated it was possible to add Lumia phones in Nokia Suite.How can I do for synchronizing my Contacts/Calendar/ Photos...
When I go to make a conference call I can get two persons only to the conference and I can't make another call for third person.please the conference for more than two persons is very important to my work
After the ICS update my email groups won't function. When i type in the group name it doesn't appear as an option for me to select. This is incredibly frustrating. What's more, the only way you can use the group is by navigating to contacts, scrolling over to groups, then pushing the group, then clicking "send email" this would be fine if i always selected the group before sending the email, but my primary use case is taking a picture and sending it to a distribution group (pictures of my kid sent to grandparents and family every day). When I take the picture then click the button to attach it to an email, then try to type in the group name, it doesn't appear.
If you backup restore your data from DP8.1 do you retain all of your whatsapp conversations data and groups? I want cyan but need whatsapp to remain as is..
i got the N900 and i have some Qs, 1- how i make contact groups ? 2- how i can make speed dial ? 3- how i can make voice command ? 4- how it increse the font size on contact names ? 5- why the missed call come with the full name and all phone no. , i need to know the missed no. of the contact person.
I got an awesome deal on a 64GB microSD card during Black Friday and I got all of my music loaded. I then noticed the Podcasts app pre-installed on the phone. I looked into it and found that there you can subscribe and download current Podcasts on your device.
My question is this: How would I go about adding a series that I have already downloaded to my PC? Since I don't have a data-cap over WiFi at home, normally I'd just re-download. However, the show I'm wanting to load up, The Awful Show, has been over for a number of years and is nowhere to be found (in it's entirety, at least).
If I click share to Onedrive from the photos hub, does it send the full 34mp photo or the smaller 5mp? Just trying to prepare my phone for a hard reset as it's become so unreliable after installing 8.1.
I've read the user guide (in Finnish) many times and have understood that it isn't possible to assign different ringtones for different persons/groups. This can't be right, I could do that even in my old Nokia (3110 or something like that). How to do that? At least there's got to be a 3rd party program for that available in Ovi.
On the E72, if you have tingtones associated to Caller Groups and a particular Contact is a member of 2 (or even 3) Groups, which ringtone will sound when he calls in?
I can't see how to do this on the N900 although the facility must be there because when I go to contacts and press the drop down menu there is a tab that says 'groups'. When I press the tab it lists my groups as sim cards contacts. I have no idea how to create a new group.
For accessing my e-mail I would like to use my wireless LAN connection at first and only if there is no WLAN connection available I would like to use the packet-Data (GPRS, 3G) connection.I can define a "Destination" which contains both WLAN and GPRS connections with priorities.I can not, however, select this "Destination" in my mail settings. Only a direct connection (exactly one WLAN or GPRS/3G connection) is available. What am I doing wrong?How could I set prioritized access groups for e-mail? *)What exactly is the use of "Destinations"?
My contacts is in extras-devel and works great. it has a full screen widget you can turn on and off too.i have been able to create 4 groups of people/contacts and assign rings to them. (currently only see wav files) i am sure there will be some updates to make it better, but it is a great start. i have had no issues with it so far, so even the noob should be ok trying it.
It seems that the E71 does not support groups like older models used to: apparently groups are listed alongside contacts, and it is no longer possible to see and search groups directly. I'd like to see my groups straight away (e.g. clients, business partners, friends, etc), open and search them, rather than finding them among the contacts. Actually, this setup misses the whole point of classifying contacts into groups! What on Earth was Nokia thinking? Is there any way around this? A firmware update or a third-party app? Also, how are contact groups managed in the N97 mini? Is it the same, or does that mobile finally allow you to see and search groups directly?
i lost my 9300 and im trying to locate but cant since there isnt sufficient wireless coverage, most probably because it has been switched off, so it was suggested that i can locate it if my account is linked to someone else or rather sharing a blackberry id account?
I have an iphone 5, my fiance has an iphone 4. Our imessages to each other aren't working. I can get them and send them to other people on my contact list and so can he. I am up to date with software and he says he is too but we can't communicate via imessage. This has been happening for several days now. I have tried signing out and back in, turning the phone off and back on, and have tried other troubleshooting issues I have seen online but nothing is working. We can call each other and Facetime but can't imessage ....
