Nokia E52 Contacts Failure

Hi,

 

I am using a Nokia E52 phone for some time. Yesterday after a switch on after a flight I loose all my contacts. They are stored in phone memory. None of the contacts are shown. But … if someone who is on my contact list (which a can not see) is calling me or when I manually phone someone which already exist in the contacts list, on the phone screen the name appears. So obviously the contacts are still there, but it is not possible to see them from the contacts list or from the list in messaging system. I have tried to sync my contacts whit Ovi Suite, but I receive an error saying that it is not possible to access phone memory. I tried to copy phone memory to SIM card but nothing happens. Anyone with solution?

 

Thank you in advance.

Re: Nokia E52 Contacts Failure

You must have changed the memory from which to display contact. If your contacts are already saved on phone memory go to Contacts>Options>Settings>Contacts and in the first option " Contacts to Display" set it right.

Hope this helps

Re: Nokia E52 Contacts Failure

This might work:

Shut down the phone.
Remove the sim card.
Restart the phone WITHOUT inserting the simcard. Again shut down the phone.
Re-insert the simcard & start up phone.

Re: Nokia E52 Contacts Failure

Hard reset is when you type in *#7370* and type some confirmation code, on mine it was something like 1234 or 12345.

Re: Nokia E52 Contacts Failure

Hard Reset: (clears everything off the phone memory!! Be sure to back up your contacts!!): *#7370#, 12345 and then Yes.

Soft Reset: *#7780#, 12345 and then Yes.
