IPhone 4 :: Contacts Groups Settings Are Resetting
Dec 1, 2014
iPhone 4, IOS 8.1.1(12B435)Â
I have got two Exchange accounts and one G-mail account.Â
When I go to Contacts / Groups and I make a contacts selection there (i do not want to view the suggested contacts and/or all contacts of every account), this selection is resetting after some time and showing me all contacts again.
It is as if I have hit 'Show all contacts'. This is very annoying, since every time I lookup a contact to call, I get all of the email addresses from the contacts list. This did not happen in IOS 7.Â
I just sold my iPhone 5S and plan to buy the new phone when it comes out. Before reseting, I set my number to forward calls to another phone. Then I reset, removing all data, etc with it set to forward my calls (which it does).Â
When the new buyer activates the phone with a new sim card, will my forward call setting be visible to him?Â
So I have been having trouble with updating a couple apps on my iphone. They would just sit and never update so I read online that you could do a reset settings and it would fix the problem. Yesterday I synced my phone and today I went through and did the reset settings. It even said it wouldn't lose content or media. But once I restored it, they were gone. All contacts, apps, notes, etc are there, but over 400 pics and videos are gone. I even had icloud enabled and I thought they were streaming because it's on, but there are no photos or videos there either.
I recently changed to EE and wanted to add my new number to iMesssage, so I looked on apple support and found the solution so i did it and reset my network settings but now when I try connect to my home WiFi it wont work?
I have an iphone 3GS. When I sync my phone all of my contact groups from Outlook transfer to my phone. I do not need all of these groups. if there is a way to delete Groups under Contacts off my phone?
I cannot get to my contacts. The contacts screen on my i-phone is stuck on a blank 'groups' page. The only key available to push is the circular refresh arrow.
When I add specific contacs to a group, I do not see that contact listed under the main contacts list. They are available only under the groups. It looks like a bug with the xperia neo v. Is there a way I can have the contact seen in both the main contacts list and in the groups? I use the xperia neo v which is upgraded with ICS 4.0.4
I have managed to create a little mess out of my iPhone contact list. After syncing my iPhone contacts to my Windows Contacts, my contacts from my computer were placed on my iPhone under a group named From PC. How do I remove this group and also how to I get my iPhone contacts organized according to new groups of my preference?
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.
I just added my google account to my Z5. All google contacts transfered correctly, but no contact groups are shown under contacts/groups/myusername@gmail.com section.
Have a Galaxy S5. I am trying to create groups in contacts but when I get to the step of adding contacts to the group no names/contacts appear. The only option to add is Voicemail. All contacts are stored on the SIM card. I can also create a new group but still don't get to select names from existing contacts.
I'm new to this phone and have input 100 or so contacts by hand and now wanted to sort them into groups. I created the groups I wanted but when I tried to input the contacts to "Friends" I got the message that groups cannot have more than 10 entries. Can this be right? I can't find a setting to change this but it makes no sense. What's the point of groups if they're limited to 10 entries? This could be a make or break for this phone for me. Once I add all the contacts, I can't imagine scrolling thru all of them trying to remember how I input a customer's/friend's/tenant's/etc name.
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.
I send group messages for work as well as to the parents of the baseball team that I coach. I have these groups set up in my Google Contacts. Unfortunately groups don't show up on the Moto X contacts. I can't understand why, but they don't. On my Note 4 I can start a text, select the group from my contacts and type my message. It's quick and easy. If I were to do that on the Moto X I would need to select each contact individually. That's ridiculous. Am I missing something? Is there a way to see my contact groups and send a text message to them?
Just update my Moto-X 2014 (or at least it was bought in 2014) to Lolipop. Went to use messaging and found the Contact entry was broken. When I went into Contacts to correct it I found I could no long get the contacts in the groups I had created. Family, Friends, etc.
Add the fact that the new look sucks a bit. Way too much white space with no clear delineation of the entries. This I can live with but not both.
Is there a fix for either of these? If not is there a way to go back to Android 4.4.4?
i had a galaxy 3 before and had all my business contacts in groups....by the towns they are located in...but I can't find any way to make groups or import my groups from the Galaxy to the turbo.
Droid 3. Trying to group my contacts but when I give the new group a name and hit OK, the group does not show up in the listing. All I have is System Group: My contacts.
Also, in Gmail, I have my contact grouped but don't know how to sync them down to the phone, if that's possible. If I could do that it would be much easier and faster than manually setting them up on the phone, since the categorization is already completed.
I was using MissingSync from Mark/Space with my previous Android phone all right.Now I tried to get some new contact groups and new contacts to sync between Mac (10.6) and Defy ... but the new group did not sync, and newly added contacts on the defy did not sync back to the mac.So I looked around and found SyncMate from Eltima. Looked good, especially as it syncs free Contacts and iCal native.iCal sync works fine ... after some good syncs in Contacts, strane things happen:On the Defy, in the menu there is a button Hide/Show - when I press it, Contacts application closes (no error msg).Then, all groups are gone. I cannot create a new group. Grops are not synced from the Mac to the Defy.When you open the groups drop down list, there are the buttons:
- create a new group
- all contacts
- service dialign numbers
- Favorites
- .. the various groups ... (that are gone)
- and below, I cannot recall exactly, a "Contacts" or "My Contacts" voice, with an android/phone device as symbol.gone that too.So, is the Contacts application data corrupt?I the application itself corrupt?Did syncmate tamper with date and/or application?
I've created Contact Groups that are placed under Phone Contacts (Not Gmail Contacts!).Now I try to delete them and they do disappear from my apps like Contacts GroupU.But if you check the View Contacts - Display Contacts - Phone Contacts from the Phonebook (top left icon in Contactlist) all groups are still there.Some that were created twice are even listed double.I would like to know how I can remove those groups from the list.If I keep a group from the Gmail lst pressed, then I get a popup offering me to delete the sync group.I hope you understand my problem. If not I will take a picture and upload it.
