Iphone 3g: Clicking phone number in calendar doesn't work

Clicking on phone number in email will prompt for calling the number but the same doesn't work in calendar. Is it a known issue ?

Adding my agreement to this issue. Since iPhone recognizes phone numbers everywhere else, it's very disappointing that it doesn't work in calendar. This is probably the most important place for phone number recognition. considering there is no cut/paste feature, this means I have to write down the number on paper and the manually enter into the keypad, very inconvenient!
When this is addressed, it will be very important to include recognition of additional numbers and characters used for conference calls, like the blackberry has done for years.

  • How do I get iPhone to recognise phone numbers in Calendar entries?

    Does anybody know how can I get iPhone (4S running iOS 5.1.1 with iCloud) to recognise phone numbers in Calendar entries made in Outlook 2010 for PC so that Calendar on iPhone underlines the phone number when the Calendar entry is called up and so that iPhone dials it upon touching the phone number?
    iPhone used to do this nearly 100% of the time before I started to use iCloud, and now it fails to do it nearly 100% of the time!
    All answers gratefully received.

    This is a real bummer... I was an early adopter of FF (Windows), and have remained loyal even as other modern browsers (most notably Chrome) came along. But I'm also an Android user (smartphone and tablet). I was excited when the mobile version of FF was released, but sorely disappointed when I realized the browser's limited functionality . Why not wait until you have a fully-realized product, instead of shipping it out half-baked to the hungry masses? Unlike the built-in, stock Android browser that most phones ship with, I can't click on a phone number to call with the handset; can't click on an address to search with the Google Maps app; can't click a YouTube link to watch a video directly in the player app (as opposed to the browser version); etc. etc. etc. Grrrrr. The Android browser isn't pretty, bu at least it offers this basic functionality. Just sayin.

  • I have synced my Iphone 3GS to the newest itunes version to get IMessage, it worked but now it doesn't and i have tried resyncing my phone but it still doesn't work. what should i do?

    I have synced my IPhone 3GS to the newest iTunes version to get IMessage, it worked for a while but now it doesn't work and I have tried resyncing my phone but it still doesn't work. what should I do?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

    I have a virgin moble iphone that i found, the power button doesn't work and the phone is saying disabled,what can i do to fix it?

    Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.

    Hello Kunmon,
    The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • HT201441 can i find my iphone with the phone number or serial number

    can i find my iphone with the phone number or serial number

    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

    If the issue remains it would be best for you to back up your phone then book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store to be evaluated.

    Hi Ricoco,
    I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS  upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
    If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

    I am trying to "personalize" my cs2 software online download with the serial number from my original boxed cd set and it didn't work. I tried using the download serial number and that doesn't work either. Need help!

    I understand that you have also used the download link & serial number from Adobe - CS2 Downloads, if still the CS2 is not working, then please refer to the system requirement for e.g System requirements | Photoshop
    The issue can be that the present operating system might not be compatible with the CS2.
