Nokia Phones Contacts/address Book Problem !

[swaroop 0]

Guys,

I am coming across a problem with my Nokia 2112. I have stored a number 93xxxxxxxx to my reliance mobile under a contact and every thing was fine till recently, when i updated the existing number of this contact with a new number.

Now whenever calls/sms's are made to this number. Only the number is shown and not the Contact Name.

Searching through the net, i found out ppl concluding that it is a bug that existing from the basic handsets to the n-series as well and duplicate contact entry leads to this.

I have removed one of the contact entries to detect which other name the same number is stored. and can conclude that my phone doesn't have a repeated contact entry for the same number. Even in other formats such as Preceding with a 0 or Country code

This problem is occurring only for a single number that has been updated.. Just in case any one wants to suggest this.. Rebooting a mobile didn't help either..

Need Help ! This quite irritating..

p.s - i searched for a similar topic but couldn't find any on RimWeb..

If for eg you store 93 1234 5678 as one entry and another entry having 98 1234 5678, then also this problem occurs. Nokia only matches the last seven digits, thats why this problem occurs. Another of Nokia OS's major problem.

Check your phone book again and see if you have the last seven digits matching with the one stored by you recently. You will have the culprit.

Thanks Kumaar for replying..

I think i solved the problem. I saved the number also for "Emergency". My bad..

So repetition made the issue.

Anyway nice knowing the other Nokia Bug. .. I checked it but couldn't replicate ur thing..
