Contacts Freezes: iPhone 4 contacts freezes,

I can scroll through the contact list, but cannot view a contact, cannot make calls, unless I use favorites or recents.
When this hapens, I can only make calls to Favorites or Recents, or using the Keypad.
I can close Contacts, they restart the phone, it works sometimes.
I've restored the phone, hasn't changed it's behavior.

Have you restored as new?

  • New 3gs  iphone won't make it past syncing contacts, freezes after contacts

    My wife has a Macbook and just got a 3Gs phone, however problem was same with 1st gen iphone. When she syncs, it only makes it to contacts, then sync freezes on Calenders. No calenders or anything else makes it. I Un-installed Microsoft Office. tried trashing some prefs. Mobile App Device Helper also keeps coming up saying it can't launch and lists error messages. I have given up. SHould I try doing an archive and install of Leopard?
    Really look forward to any help there is on it.
    Thanks.

    wonwoman,
    The iPhone uses SyncServices to sync calendars, and contacts.
    This article discusses reseting SyncServices completely:

  • IOS 5 iPhone 4 Contacts Freezing

    Really simple. iPhone 4 with iOS 5.01 which has been working just fine for over a year. Not a lot of apps, not jailbroken.
    Tonight, go to enter a new Contact with just first name and mobile number, hit Done and it freezes.
    OK, kill Contact app and try again, First and last name and mobile number, hit Done and it freezes.
    Turn phone off and back on.
    Now, whenever I click on any entry in Contacts, it freezes the app. Period.
    I go into Phone app, click on any entry in Contacts, it freezes the app.
    ***?! Suggestions?

    With the track selected and olaying, (either the 'musical note' or 'artwork' showing), tap once in the centre of the screen to bring up the sub header - the original 'repeat', 'repeat once' and 'shuffle' icons are displayed - tap once again to hide the menu. Hope this helps.

  • Battery, Calling, Contacts, Freezing apps (iPhone 4S)

    I have had the iPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1 for 3 days and I am seeing a number of issues with the device:
    1. Battery drained extremely fast after being fully charged @ 8:00am, by 11:50am the battery was 36%. I have hardly used the phone between this time.
    2. Phone App freezes - When in native phone app the green call button is displayed at plain green with no telepone pistuce and the keypad stops working. I have tried to terminate the application and restart it but still the same problem. in the end I have to reboot the phone and this fixed the problem. until I complete the reboot the device can not be used to make a phone call. very serious issue and im very surprised / disappionted that Apple have allowed this problem into the population. note: after rebooting the problem comes back, I can not select call register, contract or fav and I cant make any outgoing calls
    3. Contracts disappear - after setting up iCloud and adding my google .vcf formatted contacts to iCloud everything seemed to work really well, 2 days later after noticing problem 2 (above) my contract have done or Im not able to access them
    4. Can not sync calendar and manually sync'd entries disappeared - I have created both a Hotmail account and a exchange account on the device but the Hotmail calendar doesn not seem to sync with my device, yesterday I manually added entries and today they are all gone.. again not good.. very poor quality software.
    Any one else seeing these problems?

    RE: Battery
    This happened to me with the battery at the outset, too. I discovered I needed to turn off most of my Location Services that I wasn't using anyway. This fixed the matter at the time, so you might try that.  However, three days ago, phone some six months old now, the battery drain suddenly started happening again. Don't yet know the cause.

  • My imac is duplicating contacts by the 100's. to the point that is fill my iphone until it freezes becauseit so much information. how do i make it stop?

    My address book is being filled with hundreds of duplicates of the same contact. My Imac then is filling my iphone with so much informatoin it freezes. How do I make it stop, i just wanted to share my contacts through icloud.

    They both use AT&T and it is not jailbroken. I have figured out that you need to wipe it and reset it. The big part I have a question about is reading different posts here and other sites say you need the original sim card to make it work, and you cant use a different one. If thats the case I need to know basically the steps after the reset to get the phone to have only my friends info on it.

  • Searching Contacts Freezes iPhone 5 ios 7

    Everytime I try to search for a contact the phone loads the first letter, but then the keyboard freezes for about 10 seconds.  Then whatever letters I typed while it was frozen appear all at once and it completes the search. 
    This has happened since ios 7.0.1 or so.  I'm currently on ios 7.1.1
    I've looked around other forums and haven't found any cases of this.  Any advice?  I hate calling Apple, and the nearest store is an hour away, and only open while I'm at work.

    Similar problem with mine.  Once I tried the iTunes Restore procedure, it erased everything and now it says that it cannot be activated at this time--which is really any time because I have tried it over and over and get the same message.
    The worst thing is that it is 4 months past the one year warranty.
    What can I do now?
    HootAppleUser: I had the same problem with activation after the restore, i sent my iphone to the Seller and he told me that they will send it to Apple to get a new one instead. I think it is a Hardware issue like a problem with the IC and Apple didn't find a solution till now.

  • I downloaded os 5 in my 4 g iPhone and now the calendar and contacts freeze or don't open at all

    I downloaded OS 5 on my 4 G iphone and now the calendar and contacts freezes or doesn't open at all.

    Same issue! Tired the "phone reset" + "reset sync history" no joy. When I dock the phone i get "I-tunes was unable to load data class information from sync services. Reconnect or try again later"
    Backed up before updating to OS 5, but I-tunes dosent seem to have saved any of the data. Tried the "restore" but it didn't work getting a (-50) error what a MESS!!!
    Luckly I have my contacts backed up but I can't add them back or anything to the phone via I-tunes, even drag and drop a song for example will not work. The "sync" button is ghosted out.
    Now I have a very expensive phone that can do F**K all
    Any ideas???

  • IPhone freezes when I change contact name

    Hello guys
    So, my girlfriend has an iPhone 5S and when I/She try to change the name of any contact the smartphone freezes and I have to power it off.
    I tried updating it to the lastest iOS version but it didn't solve the problem.
    What should I do?

    Hi Jersep,
    Since this is an issue that has carried over from one device to a new device, it seems like the source of this issue may be from your data in your backup. Try using the following article to restore your software and test the device as a new phone, free from your backup data, to see if this affects the issue:

  • IPhone keeps freezing up and then deleting all my contacts

    Shortly after I got my iPhone THIS year only 5 months ago. It has been freezing up on me and booting me out of apps. First it was my Facebook app, then my pictures, then my settings and then ultimately my messages. I end up having to cut my phone of by sliding the power button off. But when I go to turn it back on, ALL my contacts are deleted! This has happened once before and now again. I have version 5.0.1 and have heard of others with different versions doing the same thing. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

        Lacmoser, let's get your Droid X2 to work as it should. As B33 mentioned, clearing the system cache can help a lot of issues. This should not erase any data, but it is still safe to make sure your info is backed up first. To clear system cache:
      • Power the phone off
      • Power On while holding down the Home key
      • When exclamation point icon appears press BOTH volume keys
      • Use volume keys to navigate to "wipe cache partition" and tap the power button to select
      • Wait for it to finish and select reboot system
    If no change, we may need to check to see if specific applications are causing this issue. Boot your phone into safe mode http://vz.to/17LHsYg for awhile to test if this issue is still occurring. Safe mode disables third party apps. If this issue is no longer happening in safe mode, then try removing some recently installed applications.
    Let me know if you need further assistance.

  • My updated Iphone 3gs now freezes when i tap on a contact

    My Iphone 3gs freezes when I tap on a contact. Anyone else experience this and have a solutions? I've restarted, restored... still the same.
    Thanks?

    I'm sure you already have done this, but did you close the app from the multi-tasking bar?  I suggest this because it's happened to me before.

  • With IOS 7 my iphone 5 is freezing in contacts, making them unusable. What can I do?, With IOS 7 my iphone 5 is freezing in contacts, making them unusable. What can I do?

    My iphone5 is freezing in contacts. It is not responsive and when I revert to home screen it immediately bounces back to the contacts section. Contacts are unusable. This has only happened with the IOS7 update. What can I do?

    Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller?  Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones.  The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
    Try these steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
    4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
    5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

  • My iPhone 5 freezes EVERY time I try to open a contact or add/edit a contact and freezes up pretty much on everything I do.

    My iPhone 5 operates at about the speed of dial-up internet.  Every time I try to do something I have to wait. My harddrive is not even close to being full and I always close out of my programs so I am confused.  It is mainly a problem with contacts (adding, editing, viewing, anything). I also occasionally hardware reset (power and home button same time) to try and help but to no avail. Is this an Apple issue that a trip to the Apple Store will take care of?  I am just sick and tired of having upgraded to an iphone 5 only to step backwards in speed and performance, plus switching over deleted over half of my contacts even though I had icloud set up on my 4 and also on my 5 so it should have been seamless.  Is my phone a lemon?

    If you have force quit all applications, performed a hard reset, software is at 6.1.4, then the device needs to be restored as new. I recommend to sync, transfer, and import all data to your computer and restore as new at this point. It is the same steps the Apple Store is going to do, its a software issue, not a hardware issue right now.

  • ITunes won't complete sync with iPhone or iPad....freezes at contacts

    Using iTunes 10.5.3.3 on a Windows 7 OS to sync my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (both with OS 5.0.1). This is my 3rd iPhone and 2nd iPad, so I'm not new to this. No problems until a few days ago. Now, both devices sit at the syncing contacts screen, and won't ever finish.
    Here's what I've tried:
    obviously, restarting iTunes (as well as PC)
    restarting devices
    deleting backups
    resetting sync history
    replacing contacts & calendar on next sync
           (PC is up-to-date with Windows Update)
    Still the same. Not only will it not complete sync, but the calendar entires are all duplicated+++ now on the devices, when they are still correct entries in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.
    This is SOOOOO frustrating. Besides wiping devices and starting again (which I don't really want to do), anyone have any suggestions?

    Is your phone hacked? Have you tried restarting your computer and your iPhone? I have found that a majority of problems that happen with iPhone can be solved with a simple reset.
    For iPhone to iTunes, you can refer to this page about [iPhone/iPod/iPad to computer or iTunes|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPod/iPhone/iPadTo_Computer_Transfer_%26_Backup_SoftwareReviews].
    It includes the transferring of music, photos, videos, SMS, Contact ect. between iPod/iPhone/iPad and computer(PC or Mac).
