BlackBerry Smartphones Contact App - load only 1 default contacts list (not all)

Hello

In short, my question is: "How can I force the Contacts application on my 9780 to load only 1 of my lists of contacts by default?"

Context:

I have 2 primary sources of contact information on my blackberry, my personal (gmail contacts) and my contacts from work (Google apps).  I like to keep these lists of contacts separate and apart from each other, but accessible if necessary.  However, this device is mainly for work, I would not have my personal contacts that appear every time I open the Contacts application.  The effect I'm trying to achieve is after the opening of the contacts--> click--> click on 'Select Contact list... '. "--> and chose a.  Is there a way to save this preference / by default, so I don't have to filter whenever I open my contacts list?

If your contacts are classified as business and personal, all you need to do is to open your address book > filter > choose personal or business.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Contact does not appear.

    Whenever someone calls me, my phone only shows the number but not the name of the contact. Everyone within a certain time it will display the name of the contact and a facebook photo, as usual. But here recently only the number will appear, and I have no idea who is called, because I don't memorize numbers. What's up with that? Anyone have this problem?

    It could be one of the three solutions... Try these:

    1. make sure that you set your own country code to the Phone Dialer screen > Options > smart dialing.
    Set your country code in this format: "+ xx" where xx = country code. Some countries have two or three-digit country Codes. Do not place not the '+' in the entrance of your contact.
    * In the United States, the value of this country as '+ 1' Code and place your local area code in the appropriate box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).

    2. in the same place, change the length of National number for the number of digits corresponding to your country (since some countries have less than 10 as that set by default in the BB). Check out the total numbers, less country code. Do not place not the '+' in the entrance of your contact.
    * For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (more than 3 for the country code). You must enter '8 '.

    3. you probably have "Content Protection" located on your address book.
    Look at the Options > Security > General settings. Scroll down to the content Protection > include addresses = no

  • BlackBerry smartphone Contact list need help

    Hi all. Just got my first BB and love it. I have the 9100 pearl and have a question.

    I took my SIM card from my old phone (sony w910i) and installed in my BB. In configuration mode he asked me to transfer the contacts that I made, but it gave me one number per contact as home number. I recorded them all in my outlook contacts with all the information, including emails. Is it possible to transfer all this and get my contact list done correctly or I have to manually go in and change all of them?

    Also is there a way I can use the computer to enter my information into the BB instead of the small keyboard?

    Thank you

    You can make a very very easy to in BlackBerry Messenger > Options > Backup. You have not done this?

    If you do not - simply start adding your friends again.

    Hello!

    I have a BB Bold 9700 and during the holidays, I went to my parents, where there was no cell phone coverage... But the strange thing is that my Contacts disappeared as soon as I lost connectivity... I thought that they would reappear when I had a blanket once again, but no!

    Then I did a restore of my backup in BB Desktop Manager (latest version) and it still does not... I don't know what to do anymore... Any help?

    P.S.: The rest is still there, calendar, recorded messages, photos, etc...)

    In fact, I could go to my service provider and the solution is to disable "wireless synchronization" in the Options of Contacts list.

  • BlackBerry smartphone contact list or address book on Bold 9700

    I gave my Bold 9700 to my daughter. How can I remove my contacts instead of delete one by one?

    You can connect to Desktop Manager and just turn off address book database. What I would recommend instead to do a security Wipe. Go to Options > Security Options > Security Wipe. He will wipe away all of the device of all your settings and data and you can start over. It would be a good idea to get its own BBID to download apps & games, etc. Each BB user should have their own BBID. New versions of BBM use BBID is not a good idea to share BBID.

    Hello tooblackish

    Welcome to the Forums of the BlackBerry Support

    Sorry for the trouble, but I noticed this same problem with few other users, who could not send pings to any BlackBerry 10 there BlackBerry 7 devices.

    To solve your problem, I suggest to re-install BlackBerry Messenger!  To do this on your homescreen go to Options > device > application > locate and remove BlackBerry Messenger from there. After deleting to do a battery pull reboot as this device powered on remove the battery wait a min. then reinsert back.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Foursquare App - trying to access my location

    Please help, I have not downloaded the app Foursquare on my phone (nor even looked on App World) but suddenly the Foursquare application is to appear on my screen and asking to access my location - there is a tab to allow or deny but when hit 'decline', nothing happens-I can't access my phone as long as the Foursquare application for access is on the screen.   I can't use my phone at all nor access to all information about my phone such as contacts, e-mails, etc.  The only way to remove it and use my phone is to take the battery out and perform a forced reboot.  Shortly after, the same request for Foursquare to access my sites is on my screen - I didn't load the application and do not want.  Surely, it is an invasion of privacy?

    Please advise how can I get rid of this application to access my phone (Blackberry 9720) tent?  As every time that it is on my screen of my phone is blocked and I can't use at all and by removing battery and reboot I get rid of it is temporary!

    Please urgent help.

    Thank you very much

    First of all, we need to get you access to your phone without Foursquare arise so let's start your phone Safe Mode. Cut completely from your phone, and then when you restart, press and hold your 'Back' button (to the right of the trackpad) until your phone is fully charged upwards. Do not let go of it until your phone is ready to use; your phone will then be Mode without failure and load only the applications that are necessary for your phone to operate.

    Then, we must find the app and to get rid of him in order to find your list of Applications. I don't know which OS you're running but following Options > device > management applications (or similar) will take you to your list. Find Foursquare, highlight it with your mouse, press the menu key and select Remove. Once you have got rid of him, reboot your phone with the power button.

    Let us know if that helps you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB app world does not appear on new Torch 9850.

    Blackberry app world is not installed on my new torch. I tried to go to the website of bb to download, but I can't find anything on how to download app world. I already tried a reload of the operating system. Help, please.

    If you have a hardware problem, then nothing what to do with the software or operating system will not help. But, at a distance of the internet, there is no way to really diagnose a hardware problem... rather, only to guide you to things to try which will govern the other causes, leaving only hardware like your the most likely cause. See how news of the device is for you, you can not cope and return instead of your place of purchase for formal support and (hopefully) replacement.

    But, if you want to try, then I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

    You may also use these tips:

    If you want to try at the OS level, then the easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    You can also try the "skeleton OS Reload procedure" in an attempt to circumscribe the precise causal element:

    1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
    2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
    3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
    5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

    When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

    If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

    If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

    You may also use these tips:

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:
