How to recover contacts list on iphone 4 after updating to ios 7.0.4

After I updated my iphone 4 to ios 7.0.4 not only has my phone lagged terribly, but almost a week since the update my contacts list completely vanished. How can I fix that issue without further damage

So, I guess my iPhone upgraded without me being aware. But nevertheless I am now running iOS 7.0.4.
I've noticed the last few days that I'm encountering sporadic contact  disappearance. I'll get a text, the notification shows their name, maybe a few minutes later i'll go to read the full message and now no name, just a number. I'll look and ALL my contacts are gone. the conversation screen has nothing but numbers and the favorites under phone are just numbers. Search can still work by name though so the phone "knows" that joe is 555-5555, but is not showing the connection.
TEMPORARY WORKING FIX:
Turning off contacts in my icloud settings and choosing to delete the contacts on my phone, then re-enabling contacts will pull them all back down for me. This of course takes about 5-10 minutes for everything to sync back to the phone.
I've tried restarting the phone.
I've tried resetting the phone.
I don't feel like wasting my time with a backup unless I can downgrade to something before 7.0.4 as it is obvioiusly buggy.
I am NOT going to set up as a new phone until this becomes a much bigger problem.
I hope this offers insight to others encountering this bug. My mother has had this happen on her phone as well. Please comment at least if you experience this. the more people that have it, the less chance apple can play it off as an isolated event on my phone.

  • How to get apps back on iphone after update to IOS 5?

    I just updated my iphone 3GS to IOS 5.  I can see that my phone updated, but my apps, which were backed up on my PC, but did not reload to iphone.  When I sync, nothing happens.  Tried turning on and off my phone, loaded an app on the phone from the App Store, hoping one of these would help, but no change.  Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the quick response.  I see that now and can/will install one by one.  I hadn't seen that before, and thought there was an easier way to get all of my apps back, but this will work.

    If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
    updating to iOS 6:
    iOS 6.0.1
    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    USA
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does It mean?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Airtel 13.0

    It would be better for troubleshhoting if you posted back to your original question.... here

    How I can closed all open application after update to iOS 7.0.2.0?? Before this v iOS7 we was can closed any application's open :(

    There's no good way to do it.  But you don't need to.  iOS 7 automatically handles whether an application takes up memory or has files open.  There's no real advantage to you ever closing an application yourself.
    If you are having problems with a particular app, please describe them.

    Hello,
    I cant activate my iphone after updating to 7.1.2. Before this I update my iPhone from 7.0.6 to 7.1.1 everything goes fine. But after update to 7.1.2 I cant activate my iPhone eventhough I use the same Apple ID when I activate this iPhone.
    Please dont ask : Maybe you forgot your Apple ID password? - I use my apple ID almost for 3 years for my iPod n iPhone. And it still fine for my iPod.the
    I have : -
    1. A box with same IMEI serial number.

  • HT1766 I lost my contacts on my iphone after updating to ios7

    just using my phone, and noticed all the calls/texts I was receiving didn't have names only numbers.  So I looked in my contacts and all contact information was gone. 

    Your phone is erased before it is upgraded. If you did not backup or did not restore the backup, then your data are all gone. If you have a backup you can restore it using iTunes. If you don't, then you can re-sync your data from the computer assuming you have the data in your Address Book and Calendar.

  • ITunes keep saying restoring iPhone after updating to iOS 5

    I have just upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. After updating, my iTunes keep saying restoring iPhone apps. Now I can use my iPhone but without my previous apps. I have also tried closing iTunes and open it again but it still says restoring iPhone apps as soon as it detact my iPhone. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem? By the way, I am using Windows.

    I had the same issue with my iPad. The iPad itself thought it was fully updated (had taken me to the iCloud set up etc) but iTunes insisted it was still restoring apps. I closed down iTunes each time via the task manager.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, which didn't help.
    What I did in the end was disconnect the iPad while iTunes was still running - without any attempt to eject it. When I then plugged it back in, it came up with an error message along the lines of "An attempt to restore this iPad was interrupted. Do you wish to continue attempting to restore?" I hit cancel, and I was then able to do a manual sync as normal, and all my app data was restored.

  • Cannot sign in into app store on iPhone after updating to iOS 8.2

    Hello guys,
    I'm having a problem here, I wonder if anyone else has this problem too and also have a solution for it. so, I tried to restore my iPhone by iCloud backup.. everything seemed to work well until I did chose the backup I want, after that an error pop ups saying something like "Cannot connect to this backup server." or "Cannot connect to server" I don't remember exactly so I was forced to set up my iPhone as new. I did that, everything seemed but when I tried to download some apps I obviously had to log in into my Apple ID... and every time I try to log in into App Store/iTunes store I get this error "Cannot connect it iTunes store".
    It never happened before updating to iOS 8.2
    (It happened sometime in the past when I tried to log in into app store, but after closing the settings from the task menu and re-open it again it worked)
    Check THIS post guys, I think it is happening to a lot of users.
    Thanks

    As per the Apple iCloud status page, they are having issues. Do not make changes at your end.

  • How do I get wifi to work after updating to ios 8.2?

    I have a iphone 5:  A 1429.
    wifi was working great with ios 8.1.3.
    I updated to ios 8.2.... and it says wifi is connected, but internet doesn't work for more than 2 minutes. I can turn it on and off airplane, and I can have up to 2 more minutes of internet.  I have 3 other devices on the network, and all of them work perfectly and have the internet, so the issue isn't the network.
    How can I get the internet to work on my phone?

    Try going to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. Once done, go back to wifi in settings and enter the router's password.
