N95 8Gb address book question

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Right then, I need the services of a Nokia Genius to help solve this issue below.

I had a reader, Tony, send me this by instant message:

quick geek question

i just changed to a different N95 8gb cause my other one had a touch of the N Series about it (crashing etc)

and now it doesnt seem to correlate anyone in my address book with sms or incoming/outbound calls

ie just their number shows, not who it is

any ideas?

I thought he might be using the wrong address book (i.e. SIM address book) but apparently not. Any ideas?

Ever used the ‘pause’ command in your address book?

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Yesterday, I read this comment by Terence in response to Malcolm’s post that morning. Malcolm was lamenting the fact it’s not easy to store international access numbers on his phone. Malcolm wrote:

“For example, there have been indirect access providers around for ages, but typically they require you to dial an access number, then enter some codes, then enter the number you’re dialling. Too much like hard work – I need to select a number from my address book and press the green button.”

Terence then responded with this piece of genius:

You can store these numbers in your phonebook using the “pause” command.

For example, in my phone book I have
+44207xxxxxxxx P 1234# P 33xxxxxxxxxx
Call Provider, Pause, PIN, hash, Pause, International number.

Scroll down to the entry in the phone book and hit dial. Easy.

Not just a pretty face, eh, Terence? Very smart. I’ll need to try this out!
