Contacts not showing when searching by name

Some contacts are not listed in the contacts list and cannot be found by searching on the name. The same contacts can be found when I search on a phone number

    Have now found this, ie when viewing contacts press bottom left hand button, select more, select display options. In my case for some reason only some of my gmail contacts were displayed but I selected "All other contacts" under the gmail id.

Your contacts are stored under different partitions of CONTACTS DB. That's why when you looking for everywhere (i.e. "all other") you see them.

SOURCE: contact lists in samsung tocca

the only way i have found is to fully reset the phone ( back to how a new phone comes) , copy all contacts onto your sim, and any other stuff on your phone you dont want to lose. like photos prob best to plug it into PC and make a copy that way.

just in case i removed the sim from the phone and restarted it in no sim mode.

then dial

*2767*3855#

replace sim, and there gone

this is a bit of a pain doing it like this but it gets you out of any difficuilt situations if your texting people you should not be !

SOURCE: Recent Contact List in Messaging is blank

I had this problem too. Found out that by shutting the phone off then turning it on again allows the 'Recent Contacts' list to build up again.

SOURCE: I need to copy the contact list from Samsung phone memory to the

you need a third party program to do this, look for the application like pim back up, contacts backup and download it from your phone to install, run the program and back up the contacts. but you need to install this program to both phones.
hence if you cannot find one, use your sim card's utility. copy the contacts to your sim, insert it to your blackberry and copy the contacts from your sim to your blackberry. 
i am afraid there is still no way you can back up your contact list in your samsung phone to your memory card. even if you use your samsung studio or samsung pc suite, there is no possible way to copy the save phonebook contacts to your blackberry, they have different file extensions. you can save your samsung contacts as npf, csv, or vcard extensions. you can save your contacts to your memory card as csv or vcard, but i just don't know if blackberry has the capability to browse and save the contacts in this file extension from your memory card. 
so the only possible way is to back it up using your studio as vcard, and since blackberry can sync to outlook, you can sync your phone book contacts from outlook to your blackberry.. 
take care..

Becky is a contact in my contact file. I can go to my list and select her but I cannot enter her name on the To: field and yahoo find her. How to fix?

Is the name in your Yahoo contacts, or in another contact list? If its in another contact list (does not show in your Yahoo Contact list), you'll either have to a) import your contact list into Yahoo Contacts, or b) enter it as a "new contact.

If you want to import your contact list to Yahoo Contacts, do the following:
  • Click on the "Contacts" icon at the top of your Yahoo mail
  • In the window that opens, click on "*** Actions" link at the top and select "Import"
  • Select the source to use for your contact list
  • Click on the "import" button on the right...
After a short time, your Yahoo contacts will show the imported contacts... then you should be able to type the person's name in the search box and have it appear.

I canno find my contacts on windows live hotmail

In the top left hand corner there should be drop down list Click on the people tab all contacts are there
or
Live email contacts
Windows Live Hotmail lists all contacts alphabetically, to a maximum of 25 on a page.
When all the contact fields are filled out, the contact is sorted alphabetically by first name.
If a first name is not entered for a contact, it is arranged alphabetically by last name.
If neither a first or last name is entered, then it is arranged alphabetically by email address.
To find Hotmail contacts on Windows Live Hotmail, use the search field.
Log into Windows Live Hotmail using your username and password.
Click "Contacts" on the left side of the page.

Type all or part of the first name, last name, or username of the person you are looking for in the text field marked "Search Your Contact List."
Press "Enter," or click the "Search" icon inside the text field.
A list of contacts matching the name you typed will be presented.

Place your mouse over avatar of the contact you are looking for.
A pop-up menu will open.

Click "Send Email" to send an email to that person.
Click "View Details" to see the contact's profile page.

Click "All Contacts" on the top left of the screen to clear the search results.

- Make a back up data of those numbers or you can read them manually.
- Delete those names and numbers from Contact list.
- Input again those name and numbers into your Contact list, you can change their names if necessary.
- See if it will solve your problem.

My Nokia e63 does not show names of my contacts when they call me on my phone. it only shows their number even though i have saved their contact details in my phone.Same problems are with messages

Probably you have multiple names on the same number in your contacts due to storing contact number more than once, truncation, etc. Use Search Tool facility in Office, search contacts using the number you have problem with. If it found multiple names, choose one you like and delete all the others.
