Is my phone smarter than me?

[Soltydog]

Ok so its a smart phone, but I guess I'm not a smart user. HTC one & when I add new contacts they do not appear in my contact list. Added a number last week & now I want to call it I cant find the number anywhere Other recent numbers I've added appear in my call history with names, but again not in the contacts list.
Think I need to go back to an old trusty Nokia 3310

Are you saving numbers to the phone or your sim card? There are display options for either/both.

Probably, but you can't beat the simple Nokias for user friendliness.

My current 113 is small, light, reliable, long battery life, good reception (often when others can't) and cheap.

It's predecessor, the C1 was the same and even survived a trip through the washing machine and is still in use by my son

I've suspected for some time that there are a large number of phones out there smarter than their users...

The bar isn't very high

You need an iPhone. Got to be the easiest and most intuitive to use.

we use the C1 as our on call phones as they're so reliable. The bosses on their blackberrys and my smartphone don't give nearly as much standby or reliable signal.

to answer the OP tho, these days my toaster is smarter than me

I got a Sony Ericsson W395 real cheap when smartphones came out cos no-one wanted em any more. No problems in 4 years.

I could do with a smart toaster. I need organising in the mornings.

I recently stripped my smartphone down, removing all the crap apps that I never use. It's now down to being, near as dammit, just a phone.

And still nobody phones me I've got a smart paperweight.

I have it set to show numbers from both & there are none of my new numbers shown there

Only other thing I can think of is that you've saved the contacts to your Google profile rather than phone/sim, then don't have it set to show Google contacts?

I use the Nokia C1 as an ICE phone when out on long rides. Simple to use for anyone who may come across me if injured & a decent battery life
