Nokia Nseries :: 500 Contact Displayed As 'no Name'?
May 7, 2012
My problem is displaying names in Contacts. Everything is ok in History of calls, it shows the correct names also when im calling or texting, but when I go to Contacts everyone is called (bez nazwy) which means in PL (no name). It happened one day that I noticed all contacts changed to the no name ones, so I tried to format card and phone memory, restore defult settings. After it I cant install Ogi Store on my phone :/ but the error with Contacts came back. Numbers saved on SIM works properly only those on the card memory seems to have no name.
I have a 701. When looking at grouped sms messages I no longer see them described by users name (when the contact is in my contact list). Instead, every message is identified by the phone number. So whereas before I could easily id them now its more difficult. Anyone know how I can get the original setting back? Messaging is set to display in groups.
I am facing the problem on my N95 8GB where the name of the message sender is not displayed. The phone number is displayed instead without the + sign but with the country code. I have checked that it is not stored as duplicate and its stored in the international format i.e. with the + sign and the country code. Also, only the options of Forward and Delete appear for such messages i.e. i am not able to Reply to the message. The point to be noted is that the name is displayed correctly when there is a incoming call from such a number. I had recently updated my firmware to latest version available with Nokia. I guess the problem has appeared after that.
Suppose, I have, under 1 name, multiple contacts (each with different Label Pic, ie, phone, telephone pic etc.). On calling or receiving calls, same Pic (ie of Mobile) is displayed against all those numbers.
My new Nokia E5 Contact List cannot be displayed. I have imported my contacts from my old Nokia 3120 classic unit successfully. The list does not open from any options or anything else.It does not even appear and open with empty contacts.After trying to open the shortcut or the Contacts menu the screen clears and returns to the previous page.
I came to Symbian S60 v.5 and Symbian Anna from Sony Ericsson (UIQ3), and I have found some shortcomings on the Nokia OS. F.i. if I need to open a contact from the call log or sms - I can't see a way to do that with Nokia OS. With UIQ3 this was very easy. In stead I will have to open the contact list and find the contact there. There are still some of us who use the device as a phone, and not an mp3-player or internet browser.
Every now and then my Nokia N8 contact list freezes when I try to select a contact fom the list, when starting a call or by accessing the contact list directly. A reboot, factory reset nor firmware reinstalling doesn't solve the problem, it only works temporarily. When the list freezes I am able to swipe through it up and down, though selecting contacts is not possible. I do see a cursor blinking in the lower half of the screen, at the position where the search window normally is. The search window itself is vanished.
I have seen a strange issue with N8. At times, I have seen that when I receive a call from the person who is already added in my contact list, the phone is just displaying the number and not the name of the person. When I check the Log, it also displays the number and not the name of the person.
I have imported my contact list from my previous handset (Nokia N70) where it worked absolutely fine. It is quite inconvenient to identify the caller without the name and decide whether to accept or reject during work hours and have at times missed some important calls due to that.
I have a Nokia N95 and when i go to my contacts none of the contacts appear and there is no "options" just "exit". The numbers are still in my simcard or phone as when people call me their name still appears. I just cannot see anyones number.i also tried backing up the files to my computer but d backup came up with read error!i badly need those contacts!
My old 6820 was about 98% accurate when using the voice tags (that I had recorded to make calls).The N8 has achieved exactly 0% so far. So I've set myself the task of finding out if this can be improved.Do I have to accept the artificial voice tags generated from the contact names? For example, my wife is "Looby Lou", the artificial voice is Stephen Hawking saying "Lobby Loo". So, I tried both "Looby Lou" and "Lobby Loo". I got one "No match found" and one "Ardalanish". This is about the only voice tag that I consider important; it's the call that I'll make if I have a heart attack, or a stroke. I don't want to be put through to a retired farmer in the Hebrides...
Is there any link between contact and Navigator in N97 mini? I have full addresses in my business contacts, but I can't find a way to "import" a specific contact's address to the navigator. In "set destination" I have to write the address, there is no opion "from contacts". Neither there is an option "Navigate to" in contacts.
it happened on my N8 dark grey before two days, two times. I did hard reset (volume down, camera, menu, power). For now, everything is ok, but could it happened again.
ive had the Nokia n8 for a year and ive hated every single day of that year...... the nokia n8 is THE most problametic phone ive ever had.... and will be my last ever nokia phone. no matter what i do i get the nokia startup failed contact retailer. yes ive restarted my phone at least 100 times ...... yes i literally restarted my phone 100 times no exagaration.... my phone will start up like usual ..... then after a while it will give me the nokia n8 startup failed contact retailer is there any way to get this fixed without having to reset the whole phone to factory settings??.... ive been able to bypass the startup failed contact retailer by quickly quickly clicking on the small button on the left that then gives me the menu with all my applications but realisticly i shouldn't have to go through all the work to get my phone up...
Had my Nokia N8 for about a year now, recently updated to Belle and I think it looks lovely but I've had so many problems since. Now this new one has started and I don't know if it's a bug that I can fix or not, randomly it loses the contact name associations when I open up the text message inbox. It just comes up with the phone numbers, the contacts are still there and when I reset the phone it goes back to normal.
i am using N8 111.040.0904 symbian belle,while receiving a call ,almost all calls my phone displaying the number like (+91**********),the same format i have saved in address book with country code.Contacts are unique ,no duplicates,i have deleted the duplicate contacts.
I like NOKIA but this problem irritates me whenever i am receiving a call.
hey ,is there a software or something i can do online to get my phone working again? i recently did a software update for my N97, after the update the phone was supposed to start, the next thing i see on my screen is phone startup failed contact retailer.( which is a long shot considering where i stay)
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.
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.
i have formatted my phone memory ,as of that the contacts are also deleted is there any way to restore them ,because the phonebook is very important for me as fast as possible , im out side my country now sorry if this is a repeated topic , but i searched the net before i finally landed here

I've re-synced my contacts with Nokia Sync.
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.
why my N8 is always showing"Phone start-up failed. Contact retailer" everytime it's low on battery. I need to shut it off and on plenty of times and pray that it wont be in the screen. What to do?And, how do i connect it to a TV to view my videos using the HDMI cable?
every-time i try to use store app in my nokia 700 i get the message "unable to contact store, try again later" and when i try to open the website [URL] i get the message "Permission denied, This service is not available in your area" i am from Sudan, how can i use the store?
Just got a new 5230.Downloaded Ovi map 3.04 and installed on phone.Downloaded Ovi Suite for PC.Opened Ovi Suite adn downlaoded a map or my province, and the UK Voice w/ street names.Downlaod was successful adn I got messege that it was transfered to phone. Ovi Suite continually claims that The map is installed on my phone.I stqrt Ovi Maps on my phone, and after acquiring a strong signal, all i get is my co-ordinates, but no map is displayed. No terrain map, no satellite map, no street map.I've installed the app to phone two more times, and re-download and installed the map to my phone more than twice. Still the same problem.I've tried with both A-GPS and phone-only GPS. All signals from cell provider are very strong.Am i missing something, or is my phone having a brain-**bleep**? Having cell-independant GPS is what led me to grab this phone, as I'm out of cell range often. This is getting very frustrating and I'm starting to pull my hair out.
ive just got a nokia x6. I have all my contacts on the sim card. when i get a call the number is displayed but not the name.does anyone know how i get the name displayed?
