Nokia :: N900 - Contact Online Status Indicators Disappeared
Mar 29, 2010
Phone: Nokia N900. Latest firmware update. My contact's online status indicators seem to have disappeared from the phone book view and from my contact short-cut icons on the desktop. I had the phone on and they were available when I switched it on, but at some point, they just disappeared. Please can someone explain what causes this and if there is anything I can do to solve it / prevent it, other than turning the phone off and on again.
My phone is a Motorola Electrified, I have an icon in the status bar in the very upper right hand corner next to the time that looks like a transparent folder with a check mark in the center of it. I have looked in the manual and it is not shown.
The BlackBerry icon that normally appears between the GPS and Bluetooth indicators has disappearedbut BBM still seems to work. I wonder what the icon is for
recently i did a hard reset on my n8 belle. After a hard reset i can't able to see unicode language such as Bengali language anymore. Before hard reset i can see unicode language on my n8 default web browser. Now what can i do ?
I have nokia E71 and all of a sudden the contacts button stopes working and doesn't bring up anything.Tried to get into contacts via menu but again , nothing.The contacts are in the phone because when someone calls me it does bring up the name.But when I try to open contacts to dial nothing opens.Tried factory defaults but no success and I'm still facing the issue.Tried to restart the phone a few times but no success.
I need to know the location/folder of these files e.g. Contact folder, Bookmark, system setting, application etc. These files are the input files to the default N900's backup program (osso-backup). I plan to back up these files nightly.If not all possible, at least let me know the contact and bookmark folders. These folders are important to me for my nightly backup.
im using Nokia x2-02 for last one month . after I updated my phone to v 11.63, The contact name is not appearing while im receiving a call it shows only the caller no. There are No duplicate of any contacts available.
I just wanna ask if the live chat is textbased or using voice cause i need to ask something regarding my phone from nokia care in my country but i dont have headphone with mic,
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 tried removing the contact (from both my and the remote contact's Skype), and I've readded from my N900 and asked for authorization, and its been accepted, but I still get the error message when I try and IM.
When the remote contact IMs me the message never turns up, but they don't get an error message.
I've also tried it the other way around, where we delete the contacts on each other's Skype, and then the remote contact has asked for authorization, and I've accepted on the N900 - but still the same message.
The remote user us on Windows 7, using Skype 4.2.0.169. It has worked previously, but all of a sudden, it stopped for no obvious reason. This is happening with two of my contacts, who are in two different locations on different versions of Windows. Oddly, Skype voice calls work okay!
I have had this phone for about 8 months and it has always showed me who in my contact list is sending me a text message. It has only shown the phone number if the person texting me is not in my contact list.A few days ago, it started showing me only the number that sent the text message. I have no idea why it started this, maybe some wrong buttons got pushed while I was carrying it around in my pocket? It doesn't always lock when I close the phone, and sometimes I don't notice it when I slide the phone into my pocket.I've tried adding the number to my contact list, and it adds it just fine, but the next time I get a text from that number, only the number shows up again.This is quite frustrating, and I would like to get if fixed, does anyone have any ideas as to what I need to do to correct this?Old messages from before this started happening still show the names.I haven't had it connected to my computer since the phone was new and as far as I know, it hasn't done any software upgrades or anything like that.
how to check the repair status online i got a repair id and serial number go check online but got an error msg said cant find my repair id or serial number?
I have a new problem to update with FP2. Suddenly last evening I noticed that all my contacts are showing as unnamed, although their details are intact. Just the names are missing. The whatsapp favorites/contacts list looks fine and the contact search before making a call is also identifying the contacts. The names have disappeared only from the master contacts list. I tried doing the usual restart couple of times.Also did a Nokia sync but the issue hasn't been resolved. I'm worried about restoring the backup lest the problem remains.
I recently purchased a used, unlocked Motorola Atrix off eBay from a reputable seller (over 5000 feedback & 100%).Having put my o2 sim card & micro SD card into the Atrix, I plugged in the charger & left it for a few hours.I then turned it on & followed the instructions for creating a MotoBlur account & setting everything else up.Once I started getting use to the layout, I then realised there was no status bar at the top of the screen.I've hunted thru menus & tried several factory resets but no status bar.I got in touch with the seller who told me to download the Software Update program from Motorola.
I've now tried the UK retail, the UK Orange (it was originally on Orange Network) and the US AT&T & each time it gives me the option to reinstall but fails after 23% with "Error - Update has not been completed" during which time the phone has rebooted & locks up at the initial ['M' Dual Core] logo screen. Only a battery pull resets it.
Has anyone come across this situation where the status bar doesn't exist?
My N9 got bricked when I tried to upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 a few days back, and when I tried to using the contact page at nokia.com/no-no/support/contact-us/ I got errors saying I had not filled in the message and version number fields, although I had done so.
I tried on 3 PCs, 2 with Windows and one with Kubuntu, tried using Firefox and Opera on all of them, with varying installs of Flash and all that (including the latest) if that should matter at all...
My N9 issue is resolved now thanks to some un-bricking guides and software... so altough it still does freeze and reboot quite often (not as often as with older firmware though) it's finally usable again, but I'd just thought I let you know about my contact issues in case anyone else have the same experience.
Here what I done since the begging of the problem: when I first use, everything was ok (at least to me). One day without remembering to disconnect the device from Windows XP Sp2, I disconnected the USB cable to aswer a call (it was in mass storage mode).
After that don't remember exactly how but a few minutes laters after reboot the n900 some widgets disappeared from desktop. So I added them one more time but they won't come to desktop... I repeated many times the adding and after that the N900 gone crazy. Some applications still works but others didn't show the icon program on the menu, only the name under the icon appear, and when i tried to execute one of them the screen returned to desktop with all the widgets that first didn't show and the device reboot alone.
So I decided to flash and I followed every single step (that I found in a thread wrote by adamf) to flash maemo on N900 and I did it. But when I try to erase mass memory, the dots on the N900 screen stopped move and in the DOS windows there was: "suitable USB device not found, waiting". The N900 seems freezed. After 30 minutes I disconnected the USB cable and turned ON the device and it is OK. Well, all data is still there. Do I need to reset mass memory to erase the programs downloaded from the application catalogues? Flashing maemo doesn't do that?
Tried two times but the same thing happens and I quitted. I started to use the device and it works fine but I can't install some applications that first I had installed, like bounce evolution, APP widget, facebook widget (impossible installing error). But forecast weather and other widgets works... I can't understand why. Tried also other flasher like Global (first I have intalled Middle East) but I have the same error...
I am really happy with my N900, but one thing is frustrating me.When I have a contact with multiple numbers saved and they are calling me or sending me sms (even worse in the latter case), I would like to be able to see from which number they are dialing to know whether they are calling from abroad, local, mobile, fixed instead of just seeing their name when they call.With the sms, I can't even know from which number they sent the sms!solution please.
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 realy your help in this one, now i live in Lebanon, and i'm searching for a n900, but the other day my freind told that you can't check for your balance in your phone operartor, is that true, were i live, you need to recharge your phone in before you make phone calls, send messages etc, and to see how much dollars(or what ever its called) you still have in what you have recharged, you need to press *11# and than the green button, and than a message shows up showing you your phone operator balance, is it true that that can't be done on the n900? i like it how i can overclock the n900 from 600 mhz to 1000 mhz in less than 30 sec.
I am using the online sync function that works with gmail account. I really like this feature because my 9700 will always have an updated list of contacts.But since I did a device switch, I had to register the email account on my phone again. Now I see 2 contact lists associated with my email account. For example, my gmail has 200 contacts, so on my BB i see 400 contacts all duplicated. If go into Contacts Options -> Contact Lists, I see the same gmail account twice. There is no option to delete one.
(This is only for contacts, as far as email setup, I only see my 1 email account setup)I dont mind just deleting all the contacts on my BB and then resync again, but I can't seem to find a way to delete all the contacts on my phone.
