Re: cant add new contacts to phonebook.

Hi and welcome to the forums!

 

Have you tried a battery pull to reset the device?

In contacts press menu key>options> what is listed under contact lists?

Thanks,

No data will be lost when doing the following: pull the battery while the device is ON.
Replace after a minute, Let the device reboot 1-3 min, see if the problem is fixed.

Hi Kevin,

Hi Nyakstar and welcome to the forums!

 

First try a hard reset as listed in my first post.

When you open the your phonebook click >options>Under Contact Lists>should be your email address>click on the email address>is the number of contacts correct?

Under contact lists is there a unknown or default list?

Are you using Gmail for your email?

Thanks,

Hi piercedkany and welcome to the forums!

 

Click on the unknown contact list does it reflect the correct number of contacts?

Do you have an email address setup on your device?

Look at the default services settings on your device what are the values for CICAL CMIME and SYNC?

Use the links below to select the right menu options for your specific device OS.

Thanks,
