I try to dial from contact list, but phone wants to email.

This appears to have happened by itself, but it's my wife's iPhone.
She trys to dial from her contact list, but iphone wants to email even when a phone number is touched.

Try resetting the iPhone. Hold down the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, try and see if it works. Also, can you dial a phone number and the call go through?

  • Nokia C7 Dialing from contact list

    I'm having problem dialing from contact list and recent calls.  I can only makes calls when dialing  the numbers.  I can receive calls.  Texting works fine from contact list and recent calls, but voice call can only be done by dialing the number .Phone has to reboot everytime it happens.

    Hi Remembranze,
    First of all, check via Nokia Suite and on the phone itself for any firmware updates that may be available. IF there is an update, please update to the latest version offered. If there is no update, then try re-installing your current firmware via Nokia Suite. Failing this, try Restoring your phone to factory settings, and if this doesn't work, then you try performing a three finger hard reset. Failing this, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to inspect.

  • E71 Cannot dial from Contacts List

    With my E71 phone I cannot dial numbers directly from my Contacts List. I have to write number down then manually dial. What have I set wrongly? How can I correct this?

    I found the answer myself. Just switch the phone off and on again to make it re-boot. Frustrating but just like a computer! or maybe it was taking it 30,000 feet into the air that cured it!!

  • Cannot dial from contact list

    Received new  4S Iphone to replace recently stolen phone.  I did sync with my lap top and when contacts loaded to phone the format is different than it was on other phone.  No dashes no area code just all straight numbers.  When I try to call from my contacts I am unable to call anyone; however, I can manually dial the number and it works.  what do I need to do?

    Try dialing *228 and then option 1.  Be sure to wait until you a get a message saying that it was successful.

  • My contacts have disappeared from contact list, but not completely?

    Hello - after battling with iTunes to finally delete an older copy, I was able to update last night, which allowed me to update my iphone 4 to OS 5. However, when I pull up my contacts, the list is empty. But then, if I switch over to my favorite/recent calls, the full record is still available. Likewise, if I start typing in a name via text, they show up there as well.
    Suggestions? Please?!

    Yep, same problem here.  Although it seemed to happen to me when I activited iCloud sync on my 4S.  As above, the contacts are still available in Messages and Phone

  • How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
    Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
    The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.

    At the present time, the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as new.  Perhaps a future iOS update will give us the option to clear that cache.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Pause or Confirm when dialing from contacts or recents?

    Does anyone know of a way to "pause" dialing from Contacts or Recents? Touch a Recent or a phone number in a Contact and iPhone immediately initiates a call... I'm looking for an app or setting that would ask "are you sure you want to make this call" first. Thank you!

    Kind of funny, as it's certainly happened to me that I started a call without wanting to. But I've gotten used to 2 things to stop this:
    1. don't tap and release, just tap and hold, then scroll. If you tap and hold, the call won't start, and you can choose not to call by simply scrolling up or down and then releasing.
    2. keeping my thumb to the right side of the screen when looking at the recent phone call list. That way, if I happen to tap, it just opens up the contact info.

  • Why do my recently added contacts not show up in contacts list, but show up as contacts in a global search of my iphone?

    I have an iPhone 3gs
    I suspect that its not just newly created contacts that don't show up in my contacts list, but contacts I added through text message or missed calls. Again, they show up as contacts when I search my iphone for their name. I have never backed up my contacts from any of my mail accounts (people said they were having problem with exchange, and I recently deleted my exchange account). I am not using MobileMe.
    When I sync with iTunes, and select Sync Address Book Contacts, I have "All Contacts" selected. The option to select "Selected Groups" is grayed out.
    When I look at my groups in my Contacts list App, I am viewing under "All Contacts". There are no other group options.
    This is a very annoying problem has anyone officially had it solved??

    You can, but it's a bit involved and requires using an app.  Probably not worth it for only 5 contacts.  If you're interested in how you would do this, you would do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap each of the other accounts you are syncing contacts with and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.

  • E75 can't dial from contacts

    Love my new E75.  Last week I could dial from contacts no worries - this week - nada, no go, no dial.  As the phone is likely smarter than me - what am I doing wrong?? 
    Solved!

    Try this. Turn off the phone. Remove the battery. Count to 10. Put the battery back in, turn it on and see if that fixes it.

  • I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

    I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record of the articles I intend to read?

    I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list.  It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
    Let's see what we can find.  I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

  • How to send a number by SMS from contact list on 2...

    Guys, I cracked my brains to solve how to send a number from contact list by SMS in 2630.
    Maybe there's no such option at all?
    Please help!!!
    Message Edited by berzerk on 16-Dec-2008 09:24 PM

    I don't think there is such an option on a limited phone like the 2630.
    On phones running S60 such as the Nseries and Eseries devices (and a few others) there is an option to copy a number from the contacts into the clipboard and you can subsequently paste it into a new message. Older S40 phones like the 2630 don't have a clipboard facility to do copy/paste actions.
