BlackBerry smartphones so contacts, hard to find for calls...

Is there a way to separate the phone numbers and e-mail contact in separate lists?

When I go to make calls, find the contact is a real chore because there are thousands in there.  Fastest solution out of the list?

TIA

Hi and welcome to the forums!

Plugguy, have you considered using categories to your contacts?

You can create categories to group your contacts, tasks, and memos. You can also restrict the contacts, tasks, and memos that appear based on categories.

Category names are not case sensitive. More than one category may apply to a contact, task, or Memo. If you use IBM® Lotus Notes®, you can apply more than one category to a task on your BlackBerry® device, but that only one category synchronizes with the task in Lotus Notes. Categories are shared between the contact list, the list tasks and memo list and changes that you make in one application are made in all applications.

  • BlackBerry smartphones Add Contact Pro app - download problem

    Hi all

    I have the BB 8520 curve. Last week I bought 'Add Contact Pro' on Blackberry app World. After purchase and during the download I received an error and stopped the whole process. The app didn't download. I sent mail to the developer app three times but no response.

    Can someone help me on how to download again (I did purchase)?

    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I suggest that you clear the cache of the AppWorld application.

    For legacy devices (pre-BB10):

    1. open the App World

    2. go to my world

    3. follow one (and only one!) of these steps:

    3. for the BB keyboard-oriented - hold down the ALT key and press on, in the sequence R, then S, then T

    3B. for touch screen only BBs - hold the num-lock (! 123 button) so that it hangs and then press on, in the sequence 3, then 4, then)

    3 c for the most recent (e, g., OS6 and 7) BB s, see this KB:

    • KB24714 How to clear the cache of BlackBerry App World

    4 AppWorld must close.

    5. If your BB locks after issuing clear cache, do a battery pull reboot

    6. return to AppWorld/MyWorld (it can be slow, while it re - sync). .

    If (4) stage arrives not as described, then the empty the cache failed.

    For BB10 devices:

    • KB33818 Applications in BlackBerry World are stuck in a State facility and cannot be cancelled or removed from the download list

    After the empty Cache, then to re - install the app, please see this KB:

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    RIM provides a device switch Wizard to migrate from another SmartPhone to a BB... but only for compatible devices. See this KB:

    • KB05459 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone

    If your old phone is not compatible with the wizard, then RIM more offers the possibility to import ASCII and CSV files. See this KB:

    • KB04312 Create and synchronize with an ASCII export file
      KB11194 How to import contacts from a CSV file to the BlackBerry
    • Sorry, but RIM does no research on how to get your data from your old device and in ASCII format or CSV... it is a function of your old device.

    In addition, you could (I think should) use a desktop PIM for your data (and you should, IMO). You must choose a compatible PIM of this KB. Then download your data from your old device and the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:

  • BlackBerry smartphones move contacts from a nokia, the BOLD 9700 phone

    Dear Sir.

    How can I move the contacts of your Nokia for the Bold9700

    Best regards

    Thanks in advance.

    It all depends on WHERE the nokia phone contacts are located in the phone's memory?

    So, if Nokia phone has a micro usb port (does?) use Desktop Manager > switch device Wizard.

    If this isn't the case, then you might need to find the forum a users Nokia to determine how you can export contacts from nokia on your computer in the form of an ASCII text file so that you can import this file into Outlook via BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

    Still another way would be to use miQLive.com > download your contacts from phone nokia on this site, and then install miQlive on your BlackBerry and restore this site to your BlackBerry contacts.

    Good luck.

  • BlackBerry & Smartphones Photos Contact names ceased to show (9650)

    Hello:

    Earlier, I added photos contact to all my BBerry Contacts.  It worked perfectly for quite a while.

    But the last 2 weeks (or more), when I get a call I get no resources and no contact photo.  Just the number, which, if I don't recognize, I'm going to ignore.

    (The reason why I have the names and photos is so I don't have to memorize numbers.  )

    The contact photos are always in my contacts list, so nothing happened to them.  And ss as much as I know I haven't added new applications.  So I'm puzzled as to why they would suddenly stop showing when I get a call.

    Anyone know how I can make them work properly?

    I covered this Council and google for an answer and not found anything.  Thank you very much in advance...

    Hello

    I would recommend to check if you have encryption enabled on the BlackBerry smartphone or press card. Go to the Options-Security Options. If it is enabled, disable it and try again then take out the battery.

    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Indeed, these IPD files are backups of your BB and are available as a source of food (they are a proprietary format and cannot be used for any other purpose, except by a few 3rd party applications that have been written to analyse). Choose the most recent one (the one with the most recent date and time, as displayed in the File Manager Windows) using this procedure:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Album artwork are the same for all the songs

    I have a bb bold 9780. I recently added a folder to the top 40 uk... and I guess that each song has its own pocket... but in my case, my bb is showing a cover of a song from this record to all the songs... even when I download songs of songlover.pk every song has its own cover art, but it will show a unique work for many songs downloaded from this site... I noticed that it is caused due to the name of the folder, for example. A folder named "single" has 2-3 songs will show an illustration of common album... Please help me...

    Hey parampramit,

    Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

    Thanks for the question.

    We are aware of this problem, this problem is solved by using BlackBerry Device Software 7.0.  However, this version of the software is not available for the BlackBerry Bold 9780 smartphone.

    In the meantime, follow these steps and test the cover of the album:

    1. In iTunes or Windows Media Player, select this option to change the albums
    2. Enter the correct Album for each album artist
    3. Transfer the songs to your BlackBerry smartphone.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    See you soon.

  • Database of blackBerry Smartphones the address book not available for synchronization

    ... "For help to resolve this problem, refer to KB19454 in the Knowledge Base of Blackberry Desktop Manager".

    I did, and it says this:

    Cause 1: the BlackBerry smartphone does not contain the PIM application you are trying to synchronize with. For example, the screenshot above error has occurred as a result of the application of tasks is not installed on the BlackBerry smartphone.

    Then, of course the BlackBerry has the address book app installed, and if it wasn't the cause.  I followed some of the sons of other related expenses and came up with nothing.

    I synced before - first time that successfully, this worked great, the second time that he kept failing, so I changed the setting to REPLACE my address book on the BlackBerry each sync, who has worked several times, and now this.

    GRRRR... of ideas?

    Worked like a champ, with the only exception to the process.  When I looked at my address book to the end, he had more than one entry for each record.  So I went back to the process, but this time, before you reconnect and resynchronize, I deleted manually additional entries - for some reason, they were still there, even though I "erased" address book information!  I'm guessing that these entries were originally a part of the problem.  Anyway, once deleted I've reconnected, resynced ' by replacing ' content of the BB for the address book - and now I have great 2-way synchronization job.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones getting new BB Protect number for my phone

    Protect my bb can not download on my phone, as it has already been downloaded (not by me).

    Now, I don't have the feature of bb protect. Can I be reissued with a new number IM for my phone so that I can download and make use of the bb protect feature on my phone?

    Your carrier is wrong when they say that its been downloaded already on another device and that is why you can not download. I don't know why they say that, but that's not true.

    When you download BlackBerry Protect, it should not ask you for your PIN or any code. The only time where he should require any entry is the first time you open (it may ask you to enter your email BlackBerry ID and password, but that's all).

    Instead of download via the icon on your screen, open BlackBerry App World and search for BlackBerry Protect there Download BlackBerry App World. At least that can offer an alternative method. If you still have problems to make it work, please let me know.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Ringtones and the Notification Options for SMS text phone

    I can't locate the profile of notification area (by following the instructions in the guide) on my "BOLD" to change the ringtone for phone and notification options for calls and texts in and out of the Holster.  I go to application Options, but there is no section for phone or SMS texts and not even in the Advanced Options section.  I remember correctly, I was able to make these changes in the application of profiles under subsection advanced... but not on the "BOLD". In addition, I somehow deleted my phone icon application when I hide and rearrange my icons.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Go to the menu, profiles, scroll to the tip, press on in normal conditions (or which one is active), and you have the chance to change ringtones for phone, sms text, email and more.

    For the phone icon, switch between topics (menu, options, themes and switch to another and do the same to the ones you use) and check if you have the item on the screen, (you don't need the phone icon, press the green button and is exactly the same function)
