BlackBerry smartphones can not type the names of the contacts from the home screen

I have a Bold 9700 5.0.0.54 5 running with bell mobility. When I upgraded to this version I am able to type in a contact name from the home screen to dial them. I must now go into the address book and then type their name. I can only enter the numbers directly from the home screen. Does anyone else have this problem?

Its still set to Yes.

I just tried fiddling with the options of entering text (extinct since shortened ID and language selection) and it started working again. I returned these back to the values previously and it still works. I feel there is something funky with the selection of text entry and the home screen...

If I try someone sounds, I can't hear their phone ring, but I get the message that we are related, but may not have any conversation. When I do a full power off and restart its new normal.

    How can I get rid of this problem?

    Hello docvish,

    Welcome to the community,

    As the PC or laptop requires the restart of our smartphone require also restarts to remove slow, whenever you feel any unusual just give a battery pull reboot I have; e while the unit is on the battery wait a min. then reinsert it wait until it restarts. You can also give a soft reboot by pressing alt + Shift R (aA ^) + DELETE.

    Also avoid any applications running in the background, press on and hold Menu button for a few seconds, it will appear a screen showing running applications or that are still open., remember always to get out of the applications not only to return the key. Try if solves your problem, or alternatively you can visit any Center of Blackberry service to the issue.

    Good luck

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not see the owner information

    Tried to install http://www.vizzion.com/index_files/cameras.htm and when I do, said my owner info is not configured and go to options/Applications/owner. When I go to the home screen, click the menu, and then options, it gives me Home Scren preferences settings. But there is no option of owner. Just home screen preferences. I can make and receive calls and download applications, so I'm confused by what could be the cause of all this. And how I can solve this problem. Any ideas? Thank you.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not choose the names on BlackBerry Curve

    Not quite the topic here, but my Curve 9360 has lost the ability to choose the names when I try to dial a phone number with a name. A single it'll do is upwards of the ione page.  I can scroll down and find it, but that may take some time. It allows to start suggesting as soon as I typed John or something else, so I onbviously it has messed up somewhere!  Help.

    MOD EDIT: Subject changed to reflect a new topic

    Hello!

    Each time a random strange behavior or slowness comes, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.

    See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    Good luck!

  • BB 9700 blackBerry smartphones can not see the contact name as sms/mms

    Hi, just recently got the bold 9700 and i LUV IT!  Only I have a problem.

    I import all my contacts from outlook express and they all come out somehow on my blackberry contacts list.   Problem is that if I get a TEXT from someone, it shows the name of number and no contact even if I already have the contact on my list.  It's just a concern to watch who texts me all the time.  For example, number of friend is stored on my BB as + 1 (123) 456-7891. He sent me a sms/text and it shows it's on + 11234567891.  It's the same number, but my BB cannot identify it as a number of a known contact.  Sometimes, he would show (123) 456-7891. Someone please help me! as I have 100 + contacts and I don't want to set up each each contact on my list depending on how I get their number on my sms.

    You are welcome.

    Good luck.

    Since little information, we unfortunately have to make assumptions... the content accurate and full of error messages is always more useful than a short short description.

    So here's my proposal? Is there a COMPUTER policy on your device?

    • Article ID: KB30076 How to check for an it on a BlackBerry smartphone policy

    Is there and you're on BES, then stop now and go talk to your BES admins... they control everything.

    If there is and you are not on BES, then you need to clean your unit of the it policy:

    Be very attentive to provided warnings, particularly the fact that your device will be wiped clean in the process. You can find adequate instructions to backup via the link in my sig auto on this post. But, when you restore, do not full restore... restore instead, only those databases you requested (e.g., calendar, contacts, etc.) and more precisely to avoid restore and data bases that have nothing to do with politics, COMPUTING, business, or anything similar. If you restore the databases, the it policy will be conscientiously restored to your device, and you will be right back where you started.

    If there is no COMPUTER policy, contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    Good luck and let us know!
