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.

  • 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?

    Downloaded new iOS for iPhone 5. Now the handset is running hot, keeps freezing on different screens, won't charge on official charger ( only charges on crap poundland one) and battery is loosing 1% every two minutes! I've closed all apps and reset the complete phone but no luck. Any one know what else I can try apart from a new phone?

    I have done a factory reset at 45% battery. After the reset it's still hot and at 35% now

  • Problem with contacts after upgrading to iOS 7 (iphone 5)

    After upgrading to iOS 7 (iphone 5), the contacts (loaded from icloud) in greek language aren't sorted!!! They are under the # symbol!! Anyone has a solution. I didnt have this problem with previous iOS versions!!!!

    My phone was fine after I connected to iTunes. It appeared in recovery mode and then it downloaded the update, installed and all was fine.

  • Following the most recent IOS IPhone update our Iphone calendars, contacts and messages have all merged. This problem has never happened before. We all use the same Itunes account as a family and one AppleID. Does anyone know the cause of this problem?

    We have 4 Iphones. As a family we have happily shared the same ITunes account and one AppleID. After the most recent iPhone IOS update all our contacts and calendars have merged and we randomly receive some messages that one of us has sent to another contact.
    This is causing chaos.
    Can anyone help me with:
    1. Has anyone experienced a similar problem recently?
    2. The records to the individual phones have not been saved been saved separately. After this merging of all the data into one composite record, is there anyway to reverse the change and restore the phones to just their individual records?
    3. I guess that the cause may be the common AppleID. I have tried to create my own AppleID but my personal email address is already linked to the existing AppleID so I am blocked from setting up a separate AppleID in my own name. Does anyone know how I can get around this block?
    4. Would it be better to create a separate Apple ICloud address for each of us as well? How do I do this?
    Many thanks in anticipation,
    Peter

    This is exactly what happens when sharing a single Apple ID for iCloud and iMessage.  Why would you expect any different?

  • IPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update

    iPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update. Have to do a hard reboot. I am Extremely disappointed and lost ALL trust in Apples Quality Assurance. From now on I'll wait a week before I update.

    Hey there Shortos,
    It sounds like your phone touchscreen is not consistently working for you after updating to iOS 8. I can see how that would be pretty frustrating. It sounds to me like this could be a software issue or an issue with the screen itself. I would start with the troubleshooting in the following article to help troubleshoot the screen itself:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
    Restart your device
    Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
    If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
    If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
    If that does not resolve the issue, I would next quit all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), and release.  If that doesn't work, connect to iTunes, go to the Summary tab and Restore.

  • I have the iPhone 4S. Since I updated to the iOS 6 my phone keeps freezing and the apps crash all the time. Sometimes it freezes up to a minute. And there's no way of fixing that. Is apple going to fix this? I'm not the only one having this problem.

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
    Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

  • 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???

  • After upgrading to iOS 8 the iPhone 5c start freezing, battery life is too short, etc.

    After Upgrade to iOS 8 the iPhone 5c start freezing, battery life is too short, and to open an app it as to restart the phone.
    How to downgrade to iOS 7.
    Thanks,
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device without using any backup would be the next step:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Maybe also take a look at this page about battery drainage

  • My iphone 4 keeps freezing on the back up stage of updating it to IOS 5 ... HELP!

    It downloaded all ok but everytime i try to update my iphone 4 it freezes on the backing up stage, any ideas?

    Possible, but not 100% sealproof. -1 can happen in a variety of situations, not always jailbroken. It's a baseband error and while the risk of getting that error is higher on a non-factory unlocked device, it can still happen.
    Even if OP was jailbroken and removed the jailbreak, it's quite difficult, if not impossible to tell the device has been jailbroken before if restored as brand new.
    Take the device to an Apple Store for evaluation.
