How do you mark particular contacts as favourites? Thanks for your help fellow Fairphone users!
Go to the app âPersonsâ and tip the star in the right upper corner when youâre on a contact that you want to make favourite.
Thanks for the reply. But when I tap the contact to highlight the one I want to make a favourite, the star disappears. There doesnât seem to be a way of highlighting the person you want to favourite. Thanks again.
You first tap on the contact and when the contact-details are on your screen, then you tap on the star.
Unless Iâm doing it wrong, thatâs not what happens. I tap on the contact in my alphabetical list of people and it takes me to the contact but the star disappears. Thanks.
Are you sure youâre in the app âPersonsâ and not in the app âPhoneâ?
Yeah Iâm in that app (itâs called People on my phone).
Sorry, it is indeed called âPeopleâ?
Could you try something.
Go to the app 'Peopleâ
And now tap directly to the star (the third icon on top)
Are there contacts already there.
And then I mean not in the list of regular? contacts.
When youâre in your list âContacts in phoneâ are, then the contacts which are favourite have a white star. And with contacts that are not favourite the star is faded out.
Right did that and that helped me worked out what the problem is. When I first got the phone and put in my Sim from my previous phone, it transferred around half of the numbers automatically into the phone. I added the rest manually and when it ran out of the space on the Sim card, I added the rest to the phone. The ones on the phones are the only ones that I can mark as favourites. When I click on the contacts on the Sim, the star is not there. So if I import all the Sim ones to the phone, it should work but using the import/export function, it looks like I have to click each contact individually to import them. Is there a way to select all and do that. Thanks.
Yes.
If you want to Import/export contacts:
Open the app âpeopleâ, then tap the button far left down on your phone.
Select the list you want to copy from.
Tap on 'nextâ
Select thet list you want to copy to.
Tap on ânextâ
If you want ALL the contacts to export, then donât mark any contact, but tap on â0 selectâ now you get the option to import all contacts. Tap on this option and then âokâ.
Right done that and now I can mark the ones I want as favourites. I do now have a load of duplicate contacts but so be it! Thanks for all your help.
You can choose to not show them if you go to the People app, press the menu button and select Contacts to display. There you can select e.g. âPhoneâ and then SIM-contacts wonât display anymore.
Great, thanks. Done that and itâs worked.
