deleting contacts in a group

[ Edited ]

Hi I have just recently upgraded from a samsung SGH G600  fone to a Nokia X3-touch and type all is fine if not a little different from the samsung but  can anyone tell me how I can delete a contact from a group I have set up without deleting the contact from my contacts list, also how to delete a group from my contacts.

Re: deleting contacts in a group

to delete a particular member from a group >open group >highlight the contact you want to remove >options >remove from group. This way the contact will be deleted from group only not from phonebook.

To delete a group >group >options >delete >delete group and its members?> yes. This way only the group will be deleted, the contact remains in main phonebook.

Being an S40 phone the Menu options may be different.. so try selecting Delete for a single entry and check if its getting deleted all together or only from the group.. or it is giving you any other option when you select delete..( ..like delete from contacts or from the group..)

 

Note the no. in case it gets deleted all together.. so that you may re-enter.. and wait for more suggestions..

..and it is not possible to bar a number on S40 phones..

Re: deleting contacts in a group

tried that it gets deleted altogether - surely there must be a way to delete an entry from a group, also what is an S40 fone

Re: deleting contacts in a group

sorry for the wrong piece of info there. Its applicable in s60 phones.
So there doesn't seem to be a way. Or lets wait for some s40 users for their view.

About s40: symbian operating system have different series phones eg s40, s60(s^1), s^3 etc.
For more info google symbian and you'll definitely get loads of info.

Re: deleting contacts in a group

Open the contact you want to remove from the original contacts folder (Not in the Group).. There you will see the details like Tel.No., Group,Ringtone(If assigned).. and so on..Highlight the 'GROUP' here-->Options-->Remove from Group..
