I was having the same problem a lot of users were having with uploading the phone book and getting the voice dial to work properly. My brother is a software developer so he whipped me up a little program.

Click here to download it -> http://www.exovis.com/downloads/avicedit/

To use it, press the open file icon, browse to the PhoneBookxxxxxxxxx.db file, enter the name, the phone number in the 1234567890 format and use a p for a pause with no spaces (handy when dialing voicemail add a p then your password then # depending on your carrier), select the type from the drop down menu, then hit enter. You can change the order the contact appears on the stereo by pressing the up or down arrow, and can delete a contact by selecting the line and pressing the X button. Press save and wala! An easy way to edit you phonebook without knowing how to use any .db editing software.

great!! thanx a lot...only missing import/export data to .csv or .xls files, such outlook

thanx

It's best not to import as the format may be wrong. My contacts would not work in voice dial because of the format problem when it imported my phone book from my HTC. This way you can start fresh and only put in the contacts you want. Also they will show up correctly in the contacts screen and voice dial will work perfectly.

I just use SQLite Expert Personal edition. It is free and works great.

Yes, but this works better and is freeer

This sounded great, but when I download and try to open the application it says "There is no default application specified to open the document "AVICPhoneBookEditor.application". Any thoughts, I really need this. Have tried the sql lite with no luck.

Thanks!

Freeer? Is that a real word? Hmmm. OK, I will try it.

Your a lifesaver this worked flawlessly i finally dont have to say the number and just say the name. How do you get it to not say General after i VC the name though. Should i set them all as None or all to mobile or what..

Is this for PC's only? I have a mac and I tried downloading the link for microsoft.net and it just looked this...

PC only, sorry.

I noticed a glitch in the software. Sometimes when you hit enter after adding a contact, the drop down defaults to (None). If you want to set the contact to (Mobile), open your contacts and look at them, if they show (None) on the drop down, select (Home) or (Work) then select (Mobile).

I'm pretty sure this will cure your problem.

Can I add contacts and numbers to this list?

The reason I ask is because my F90 does not grab all of the contacts out of my LG VU (CU920). I was able to sucessfully edit them with the SQ Lite program but I do not really know how to use it other than changing the current entries around; i.e. Name, number, phone type.

Thanx for the help!

Bud

this was AWESOME, my nextel I880 wont transfer any contacts so i used this software to modify a coworkers list and now i have contacts and voice dial

Can I add contacts and numbers to this list?

Y E S !

Great!

Now if I could only run the software

It won't load up and I get a error screen that says something to the effect that it can't locate the file or something like that. i have all of the current framework updates from Microsoft but still no dice.

What do I do?

Thanx!

I got it!

Nice app!!

Kudos to your brother

Yes, add all your contacts in the format that I explained. You can add, modify, and delete contacts. AND your voice dial will work perfectly.

This app does not appear to work on Vista 64. I get a System.InvalidOperationException when I try to run it. Any thoughts on how to make it work?

Is it possible to get this in a standalone file? Sorry to be a pain, but I'm not so cool with an app that I can't save to my desktop and scan for a virus before installing. Also if in a year I want to edit and this post is gone or the link is dead, I can keep a local copy.

Has nothing to do with you or your brother, I'm sure the app is kick-ass, it's just how I try to stay safe with my machines. No offense intended here.

My caller ID won't work after I used your program and entered all the names and numbers. Is there anything else I need to do in order to get Caller ID to work for incoming calls? Thanks.

Sometimes that depends on your phone not the navi, like my palm treo 700p wont allow the f90 to show call-id. BUT if i call using the contacts that i set up in the program it shows who i called them b/c its not the phone sending info to the navi, its the navi sending it to the phone.

Sorry to be so dim, but when I download this, all I get is the blank phonebook page with the Click Here to add rows message, but clicking it does nothing. Can you be more specific as to how exactly I'm to input names and numbers on this page? Thank you.

Darzide:

My phone is a Nextel Blackberry 5310i. I would tranfer the contacts, although when it was done the DB was hopelessly jumbled and VR would not work.

With your brother's app I cleaned and organized the DB and it now works. Thanks!

As an observation, this application is actaully better for setting up your contacts because you can assign a specific name for the contact that the system recognizes.
