I cant seem to save a new contact, no matter which way i save it either by adding contacts from a new phone call or entering a new contact, when I first save it, all the previous call numbers from that contact change to the contacts name then within a few minutes it reverts back again and if i search for the new contact it has disappeared.
any help would be appreciated.
Im using the generic contact address book
Did you have the right sync groups selected? when creating a contact you can assign the contact to group. If this group is not synced this will not shown as a new contact on your phone. When the contact is not assigned to group you must select "sync all contacts". this will include also your mail-contacts from google.

morning peoples (or afternoon depending on your worldly location)
I received a text message from my mates new number. The number isn't in my contacts so I want to create one. I click on the number and it says
"this number isn't in your contacts etc etc would you like to create a new one"
so I click yes, then the list of contact appear. I click new contact, and it asks me for outlook contact or sim contact.
I don't use outlook to sync my contacts, and SIM contact doesn't give me all the information (SIM is just a name and number).
so how do I select to save the number to my phone, where I can add all the other relevant information (ringtone, phone number type etc etc)?
thanks
You should save as an Outlook contact, as Pocket Outlook is the default adress register on Windows Mobile devices.
It doesn't matter if you use Outlook on your PC or not...
perhaps but the options presented to me are the same...well..almost...firname last name number....why doesn't it give me the option to supply any other details? ?I have to save it, then go back into it to add any other information.
just annoying is all
why don't u just go to contacts, click on the profile u want to update and when they're details come up, click on menu > edit.
this should take you to a full list of details
because I'm talking about adding a new contact, not updating an existing one
How can I see groups of contacts in the N1 contacts app?
On the Hero there is a tab for groups but I can't see one anywhere on the N1. Neither are they visible when I want to send a text message or an email to a group of contacts.
I can see the menu option where I can add and remove the google groups from my google account but this does not fix the problem.
Am I missing something?
Hmm, so I just tried to delete a contact - (it was actually a contact I added via the barcode scanner - [email protected] in this forum);
Long pressed the contact, chose 'delete contact', answered yes to the question... and hmm... the contact is still there...
Is that a known bug?
Ok, just FYI - yes, there is a bug in the contacts - if your contact doesn't have a first/last name, but has an email - the contact will be named after his email in the contacts list;
When a contact is named after his email, you cannot delete it at all (you'll be able to try, but it just wont be deleted, no matter where you try it from).
To fix that, just give a name, any name, to that contact, and delete it.
I've had strange things like this happen where I delete a person's secondary email or address, and it comes right back.
Same goes for changing a "type" such as Phone (home/work/mobile/other/custom). It doesn't seem to stick and reverts back to the original title.
I think you need to delete the contact from your sim card first, then log on to google and erase it from there, then let the phone sync and goodbye contact.
bwahaahahhaahahahahahawhahahahaa
You could try deleteing it from Google Contacts instead?
guys
when one creates a new contact, it automatically links to two profiles by default - phone contacts and google
Is it possible to create a new contact and link it to Outlook rather so that it shows up in my corporate email address book too?
My sync for corporate email is turned on and when I create a new contact in outlook, it shows up on my phone but the reverse does not work
Thanks
On my Nexus 6P's Google Contacts, there's a "ME" Contact.
Is there anyway to sync or link it to my own personal contact details?
If you already have a contact entry for yourself with your email address in it, then adding your email address to the Me contact should link/join the two together.
I do but it doesn't work for some reason
There is no way to sync it. I've been sending feedback about it for years.
does this affect the image on the phone's user profile as well?
try this:
put your gmail into 'me' contact, link this local contact with your g+ profile. Eventually, open g+/settings/yourgmail/contact switch on contact access.
thanks! will this affect the User Account on my phone as well?
If you turned on the contact optionin Google+ it will sync that photo across devices. But one you chose from the device should only be usable on the device itself. But correct me if I'm wrong here.
