CONTACTS DON'T SHOW WHEN THEY CALL

Okk.,. My contacts are there. But when a person calls there name does not show up there number just show. Then once im done with the call there name shows in the call log. please Helpp!

There could be any one of three solutions... Try these:
1. Make sure you set your own country code at Phone dialer Screen > Options > Smart dialing.
Set your Country Code in this format: "+xx" where xx = your country code. Some countries have two or three digit Country Codes. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* In the US, set this Country Code as "+1", and place your local area code in the proper box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).
2. At the same location, change the National Number Length to the number of digits for your country (since some countries will have less than 10 as set as the default in the BB). Find out the total digits, minus the country code. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (plus 3 for country code). You would enter "8".
3. You may have "Content Protection" set on your Address Book.
Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.
*If you don't see this here, your device operating system handles this differently. Look at Options > Security > Encryption.

Hello User909807,
After having some close calls with fraudulent purchases on my own bank account, I know how scary it can be to know someone else other than you had your personal information, so it was nice to know my issuing bank was helping keep my identity safe. Having said that, it’s completely understandable why it’d be frustrating to discover you were unable to continue making purchases after confirming your identity via text, and I apologize if this caused any unintentional frustration.
While I’ll be sure to document your feedback regarding our partnership with Citibank, N.A., please know that they are the issuer of your My Best Buy credit card account. As such, I will be glad to share your concerns with our Citibank contacts so that they may contact you to discuss your account in further detail. Please know you should receive follow-up contact from them within the next 3-5 business days.
Respectfully,

How do you get a contact's photo to show full-screen when they call?

A friend sees a large full-screen photo of some of his contacts when they call. I only see a small round circle with the name next to it? Is there a setting that makes this happen? Both of us on 5c iPhones with OS 8.

Thanks, RobinD.
I've just solved it through Apple, but want to share the answer for others. Even with ALL of the near-seamless syncing between my Mac, iPad and iPhone, the only way you get a full screen photo of the person calling your iPhone is if you've assigned a photo ON YOUR PHONE to that contact in your iPhone's contacts app. Doesn't matter that Mac's "contacts" already has a photo that you assigned there before. That photo will only show up as the small round mugshot next to the caller ID UNLESS you duplicate the action of assigning the contact with another photo that's in your phone's collection of shots to the contact's listing in iPhone's "Contacts" app.

On OS 5, the contacts with international format do not show the names when they call me. any idea why?

I have updated my Iphone 4 software to OS5, and since then the names of the people who call me stopped to appear and only their number is showing. after checking, i found out that the contatcs whom local phone number is saved in an international format are affected by this problem. if i save them without the country code, then their names appear.
Also, some non local numbers that are saved in the format of 00966--------- instead of +966 ------- are also not showing the name of my contact when they call me.
any idea about this knowing that the older OS version didn't have an issue with this?
Thanks

This is the same problem I have. I thought it was my phone only, but now I realize it is a common thing. I hope they release a fix to this, as they did in 2007 & 2007 when 3G was released. Will be waiting and good luck to us all.

Do you see your contact's number?
What carrier are you using?

I added 3 contacts and saved on my iphone 5, but do not appear on my list of contacts. the names appear when they text or call me. I have to go search for their messages when i need to call them

Try to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
try this:
open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
let me know if succeeded!

My contacts names doesnt pop up when they call

my contacts doenst pop p when they call

For names to appear on the screen of the phone when calls are received, the carrier has to support caller ID, and the caller ID information has to match what is saved in the contact exactly. If this is not working, you will not see the name.
Not sure what you are asking regarding SIM icon.

Before ios8, facetime calls from my kids' ipods showed their names. Now when they call, it shows my name like I'm calling myself

Before ios8, facetime calls from my kids' ipods showed their names. Now when they call, it shows my name like I'm calling myself. Previously I had an issue where my texts were showing up on my family's ipods and ipads. That has been corrected...I'm wondering if this is similar.

HT4061 What is the correct name of the tones that my callers hear when they call me, and how do I obtain tones?

What is the correct name of the tones my callers hear when they call me and how do I obtain those tones?

Hi sonyadenice,
Those are called Ringback Tones by AT&T. Other carriers may use a different name for them. If your carrier is AT&T, here is a link with FAQs about their Ringback Tones. If you carrier is not AT&T, then contact them to find out what is available.
Here is the AT&T link:

Apple Store Genius makes all decisions regarding implementation of Warranty Coverage. Maybe you have AppleCare coverage and don't even know. If the Genius decides to cover under Warranty then it was worth taking to Apple. If Genius decides no Warranty, then replacement iPhone 4 is $149.

Hi! My phone speaker is not working, so I cant hear people when they call me. I bought my iphone 4s on February 2013 at the Grand Central Apple Store. I would like to know if I can take it to an Apple Store in Spain so they can fix it or change it. Thanks

Hi! My phone speaker is not working, so I cant hear people when they call me. I bought my iphone 4s con February 2013 in the Grand Central (NYC - USA) Apple Store. I would like to know if I can take it to an Apple Store in Spain so they can fix it or change it. Or I need to find a way to take it to the US, where I bought it.
Thanks!!!

You will need to return the phone to the US. iPhone warranty is only good in the country of purchase, with the exception of the EU.

TS3367 Nowhere on my iPhone 4 can I activate FaceTime... I've tried using contacts, settings, and even when I call someone with an active FaceTime, the FaceTime icon is not lit up. Any suggestions?

There is no facetime icon and never was. Facetime is built into the phone. Go to settings>general>restrictions and make sure facetime is ON. Go to settings>facetime and turn it on there and set it up there. Also read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

I don't hear when i call and when i receive calls

I don't hear when i call and when i receive calls. I already formatted my iphone but nothin changed... I hear and i'm heard with headphones and loudspeaker, that's all. Who can suggest me a way to get resolved this issue?

Sounds like there's a hardware issue with your mic and receiver(speaker used to hear people when in a call). If you've already restored the phone as new and you're still having the same problem, you need to look at repair/replacement options. If you are still under warranty(within 1 year of original purchase date) and there is no accidental damage to the phone, Apple will replace it at no cost. If you are outside your warranty then Apple will do an Out Of Warranty replacement, which will cost you $199 for another 4S.
