Nokia Lumia :: How To Add A Contact That Is NOT From Hotmail Or Facebook
Dec 6, 2012
My wife just bought the new 920 (going from N8) ... and so far she is really frustrated!
We have set up her phone with both her Hotmail and Facebook, but that means that when she goes to "persons" she gets a couple of hundred contacts, And she does NOT want that.
She has a list (on her OLD phone) of about 50 contacts she wants, no more no less.
So we went into the settings, and asked it to filter off all contacts from Hotmail and Facebook, which is fine.
BUT, now she can't add new contacts (like in the old days) ... well she can, but they are automatically new Hotmail-contacts, and they get filtered away...
QUESTION: Is there no way to add a contact manually (like in the old days), and it gets saved to "the phone"?
We did manage to move all the old contacts from her old phone, to the new one - but they automatically becomes Hotmail-contacts... (and are filtered off!)
I've added an additional Hotmail account and enabled syncing with Contacts, but for some reason, each of those contacts that belong to that account do not show a contact photo, it's just a blank square. Other information such as name and numbers etc are present.With the (primary) Microsoft Account i've used when setting up the phone, those very same contacts are displayed as they should be.
i have my facebook chat integrated with my messaging, however i know people are online but it is not always saying no one is online, it says im signed in so
I have some contacts on my phone that somehow were linked to facebook contacts so now when the person calls me his facebook nikename and photo appears. how can I disable this link? I have tried to unmark facebook contacts but it didnt work.
I am based in the UK and I am having problems setting up email on my blackberry bold 9700.I have 2 email accounts, both of which come up with 'username and/or password invalid'. My first and main account is with hotmail.co.uk, my second account is with googlemail.com.It might be important to note that my password for both is the same, but I dont see this as an issue as it consits of only letters and numbers.Also, my girlfriend input her hotmail.com account and it worked fine. So why does it work for her and not me?! I have tried to get a hotmail.com account but for some reason only hotmail.co.uk and live.co.uk are the only options for new email accounts here.This problem is also reflected in the Facebook application, whereas my girlfriend input her facebook username (which is her hotmail.com address) and it worked. When I input my Facebook username (my hotmail.co.uk address) it says that this is invalid!It is sooo frustrating and as a new blackberry user I feel a bit out of my depth
I was wondering if the X10 can do the same as my last android Hero, which basically link the facebook info contact to my related phone contact, including the picture. I guess this wont need any hardware, but software. Has this improvement being asked or is it planned for future updates?
if i do a hard full reset will that reset eveything including the first hotmail live account i put in on the first day of activation because im not living in the same country anymore and want to start a new zune/marketplace account to buy apps i have no problem with hard reset IF It will work?
We cant get Facebook notifications. We get the Alert on the Me tile but when we get into the NOtifications section and click onthe notification we get the following message - "Cant get Picture. It may be a connection issue (You can try again Later) Someone else's Picture? It maybe an issue with their privacy settings"All other sections of the Facebook integrations work fins, apps, email, browsing all works fine.Internet works perfect, dont know what the issue is with the Notifications, even if it is my own Picture.
I bought my lumia 920 about a week ago and downloaded the fb app from the store, yet everytime i log into fb it says "login failure. please try again" it doesn't even seem like it's trying to log in, i just automatically get the msg. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, not working.
since 2 weeks now I can't syncronize my Facebook account because of this "83CF1109" error.I tried by removing the account, by downgrade the OS and then upgrading again but nothing.
I can't seem to get facebook app notifications to work on my Nokia Lumia 920. I've selected 'toasts and tile count' and all the boxes underneath are ticked, yet i still don't recieve notifications. Even on my lock screen i don't recieve notifications.
I have the facebook notification settings set to "toast and tile count" and all boxes ticked (including "message"). But I do not get any notifications or a tile count when I get my friend to send me a test message. I waited over an hour on two occasions. Then going into the facebook app after the hour, the messages are there and waiting.Is it because I have facebook linked in the people hub as well as the FB installed? (which also doesn't give me any alerts incidentally)?I've tried all the usuals, reboot, battery pull, airplan mode on and off, etc.
I just got a Nokia Lumia 710, but I am having problems using Facebook Chat in it ( The one integrated with messaging). I have setup windows live and facebook to connect with each other and also imported contacts from facebook into windows messenger. I have turned facebook chat on, synchronized both windows live and facebook accounts on my Lumia, but still when I go to online option in "messaging" it says "No one's online" even when there are actually friends online. It does not show a 500 error or something else, it just says no one's online and doesnt update at all. The consequence of the above is that I cant send chat messages from my phone to facebook chat.
After I've chosen a photo for a certain contact, I cannot find a way to remove it. The only option that seems to be available is to change it into something else.how you can remove a contact photo without removing and re-creating the contact?
Does the 920 support contact photos? When I transfer my contacts from the N9 to the 920 will the 920 also import the contact photos? If I sign in to my Microsoft Account will it automatically sync my contacts to the Cloud (Outlook.com) Or is this user defined? If it does sync will I lose all of my contact photos because Outlook.com doesn't support photos (other than those it 'imports' from Hotmail or Outlook profiles).
The first was notifications and I have been given to understand that the folks at Nokia are working on it.the second issue is the calendar. In the settings I have asked it to show Facebook and google calendar events. However, the calendar refuses to sync and show events. It's squeaky clean how do I get the calendar to show Facebook events and birthdays?
When attempting to to post a message <status update> via "Me" tile or "Facebook Application" I receive an error "Can't post message We're having trouble posting your message to Facebook" <from Me Tile> & "Your update could not be posted at this time." <Facebook Application>.However, in both I can like items in the feed and respond to posts.I've unlinked Facebook from Windows Live and relinked it already. I've removed Facebook from Accounts on the Phone and Re-added it to no avail. I am at a loss as to what else I could try to make it work.
This began after activating my new Lumia 900 on AT&T. I previously had an HTC Arrive on Sprint and tested it on there and it no longer can post status updated either.I feel like this either has to be a Facebook account setting or Windows Live account setting but I've tried everything I can think of and am now at a loss.ve unlinked Facebook from Windows Live and relinked it already.
All my friends who are using mobile phones (iphone) are visible through facebook website and i can speak to them from my PC. But why i cant see those friends online, when i use my phone (Lumia 610)? I only see friends who are using PC. When i try manually to find a friend from people hub and i know that he is online from mobile, the message says that this friend i not connected and urge me to send him SMS.
Whenever I upload pictures or videos to Facebook from my Nokia Lumia 920, they are set as private and nobody can see them unless I go onto a computer and make them public. How do I change this so that my pictures and videos are automatically set so that my friends can see the pictures and videos?
How I can change the default number of a contact, or access other saved numbers of the contact?For example, I have a contact which has 4 different phone numbers. When I search the contact from "People" I can only see 2 numbers and email. The number I most often use can not be seen although it is saved.
how to edit which information from the contacts that will be displayed when trying to call a contact? I cannot get anything else than Firstname, Company showed - which is not how I want this.
Furthermore I have found no way to lookup addresses in the Nokia Car navigator from contacts.
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".
