I am trying to add a certain contact to my group, but it wont show up when I search for it after clicking the add contacts button. However when i search for that contact under "contacts," it comes up. Please help me figure this out
ReplyDeleteHi Salma Saif,
DeleteThanks for coming and I'm so sorry for late answer.
Try to delete the contact and then add it again (save it to the Device) and then try again to add it to the group. See whether it helps :)
When I try to add someone to any group my contacts app crashes and sends me back to my home screen. Please someone help me. I need to add emergency numbers group asap.
ReplyDeleteHi War Hawk,
DeleteThanks for coming.
There are some things that can cause the Contacts app crashes:
1. There's a contacts-related app that is disabled
Check this by going to Settings> tap "More" tab> tap "Application manager"> swipe the screen to the right until you see the "All" tab> scroll to the very bottom and see whether there's a contacts-related app that is labelled as disabled, if any, tap the app and then tap "Enable" button.
2. Clear Contacts app cache and data
If the #1 didn't work, you can try to clear the contacts app cache and data. It won't erase any contact, it just repopulates your contacts, but if you're worry you can backup your contacts first before doing this steps. To clear cache and data, go to Settings> tap "More" tab> tap "Application manager"> swipe the screen to the right until you see the "All" tab> scroll down to find "Contacts" and then tap it> tap "Clear cache" button and then tap "Clear data button". Once done, restart the phone.
3. Reset app preferences
If the #1 and #2 didn't work, try to reset app preferences by going to Settings> tap "More" tab> tap "Application manager'> under the Downloaded tab, tap the Menu key and then select "Reset app preferences". Once done, restart the phone.
4. Change the date time format
It may sound like weird and has no relation solution, but in certain case, change the date time format can fix Phone app/Contacts app crashes issue. You can do so by going to Settings> tap "More" tab> tap "Date and time"> change the date time format to something else.
Finally, let me know if one of these things works.
Hope it helps :)
None of my contacts are showing up when I try to add to a group. I have all my contacts saved to my sim and I'm not changing that cause that would be ridiculous. I take it that means I can't make a group?
ReplyDeleteHi Brianne Haddow,
DeleteThanks for coming.
Sadly to say that you can't add those saved in the SIM card to a group contact. If you want to add a contact to a group, the contact has to be saved in the device memory, Google account or Samsung account.
Unfortunately I have just bought a Samsung galaxy a3 and was trying to set up a group contact folder with mobile nos. I have saved all nos onto SIM as I have lost them in the past when switching phones. Its a shame that mobile nos cannot be saved as group for texting purposes!!
