Re: N9/N950 Contacts/IM - Get help & give feedback here
 

I used MfE to add contacts to my phone. after i deleted the account, the contacts remained in the phone without being linked to any account.

on re-adding the MfE account, i had 2 copies of those 1353 contacts. tried to do the merge but immediately on pressing refresh, the app closes. no merge is done. i've to manually merge the contacts. even a manual merge is temporary meaning if i manually merged 50 contacts, upon reboot those 50 contacts are un-merged.

its irritating so i've to delete my MfE account then delete all contacts. however, after marking all contacts for deletion, the app crashes when i press delete.

finally i'd to reflash and added the MfE account.

that's why i wanted to know what is the limit on the contacts app. it is surprising the app's functionality is so limited when even older nokias on symbian are able to do this seamlessly.

that implies to me that the store is still working, possibly still processing your merge(s) - there was a bug prior to 1.2 that could make merges extremely slow (or fail altogether) which may have been impacting you here.

the application _should_ never crash, I'm aware of a few crashes fixed since 1.2, but I am unable to tell off the top of my head if you'd have been running into any of them.

Woo, someone is alive =D

I've already asked abustany a dozen times about this (and opened this bug report: http://harmattan-bugs.nokia.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1037 ), but the answer has always been "we're working on it".

It's pretty much the only issue I have with my N9, can you confirm that the issue *is* in fact being worked on, maybe even fixed in 1.3?

I don't know the situation myself, but I'll try find out.

Good news.

Upgrading to 1.2 right now.

Hi w00t - thanks very much for helping us out. I was wondering if you had any hints for keeping the n950 / n9 contacts in sync with a linux desktop; GNOME etc. Is there anything you can recommend trying out? I'd rather not export and import vcards manually.

hi w00t could you help with twitter too? i've reflashed my phone 3 times resetting all user data yet whenever i try to authorize the app, it just keeps showing the spinning circle in the web page and the stops.

even 3rd party app QNeptunea is unable to go thro the authorization. could you tell me what is wrong with it?

this bug was prevalent till pr1.1 but fixed 1.1.1 onwards. i'm running pr1.2 but still having it.

Re: N9/N950 Contacts/IM - Get help & give feedback here
 

Difficult question. I personally throw everything into Google (and use MfE to handle sync) + various hacks to actually get at the data on desktop as needed. Even though this is a really crap solution, I haven't found anything easier / that works better.

Keep in mind the "it takes a while" bit. It might even take a few days for your phone to settle down after the update. The cleaning process is quite resource-intensive, so we weren't able to do it instantly - instead, it does it a piece at a time every X minutes until there's nothing more to do, so as to not harm the responsiveness of your device.
