IPhone soft-resets when receiving/making a call to corrupt(?) contact

Hello,
Once I had a created a contact that (I think) had called me while I was making the entry. Ever since, the interaction with that contact became weird. Half of the times, his name was displayed when he was calling, while the rest of the times not.
Now I've installed a few apps and I think that, even though I have deleted that contact, there is still a bad/corrupt copy of it somewhere in the memory. I'm saying that because:
- if I dial his number using the keypad, as soon as I'm done dialing, the keypad disappears and I'm back to Home menu.
- whenever I get a call from him, my phone doesn't ring, it does something like a quick soft-reset and I cannot pick it up; it is always displayed as a missed call
- whenever I try to call him, I have no in-call menu, e.g. no Speaker option or even Hang Up option(!), so I can't actually hang up on him! I must turn the phone off if I want to! All I see is the "Tap to return to call" button, which, btw, it doesn't really work, either!
I have tried to delete all contacts - it did no difference. This is why I suspect that there is still a corrupt contact card somewhere.
After I made a full reset, wiping out all data and stuff, the problem disappeared. Unfortunately, I had to make at least a partial restore of my settings, map locations, SMS texts etc. Even though I didn't restore any of my contacts/calendar/notes etc, the problem returned.
Any ideas? I'm running out of options here... I'm actually unable to communicate with a certain person, whether I've filed him as a contact or not!

Contact info and recent calls are included with your iPhone's backup.
Try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.

Quiet down OSX when receiving/making a call on mobile phone

Hi everyone,
I want to write an application in JAVA which will quiet down the system volume when I am either receiving or making a call on my Nokia E66 mobile phone.
Where can I read up on what I have to do to get my mobile phone to broadcast that information to my Mac?
Hints and Tips are appreciated,
DodoFXP

I've used an application named 'Romeo' that works via Bluetooth to allow the type of interaction you describe.
No idea how it works under the hood, other than the obvious, but it may help with examples, etc.

I just bought my new iphone 4s and when I make a call or receive a call i can barely hear them. I have gone to settings and to sounds and turn it all the way up, but it doesn't help. What else can I do?

Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

Deborah,
The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
(1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
(2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
(3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
(4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
(5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
(6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
(7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings . this wipes settings but not data and media.
This is really frustrating.

When bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone?

when bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone but it rings through the bluetooth headsets?
In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
Any ideas - solutions - comments please?

I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.

Palm TX does a soft reset when I tap on memos

I am new to posting on this forum. My Palm TX does a soft reset when I tap on memos or push the button I have set to memos. I also have had several soft resets occur after tuning the my palm on from the On/Off button. I have had Palms for the last 10 years. Never had this problem. The only problem I had was the On/Off button on The TX failed as a result this is my 3rd TX in the last 4 years. Any suggestions welcome. I was behind on syncing and my last sync was done about 1 week before this problem occurred. I really do not want to do a hard reset. This problem has been going on for a month. Can I just do an unistall/reinstall without loosing any info?
Post relates to: Palm TX

This question has been asked and answered many times here... Somehow, the memos database has become corrupt on the device. There are two ways to fix this:
1. First, open Palm Desktop and go up to Tools/Options/Tools Tab and click the Check Records button. Let it look for corrupt records, and if none are found then a simple fix is to set your HotSync Manager setting for the Memos app to "Desktop overwrites Handheld" for one operation.
If using Palm Desktop 4.x, change the conduit here: Click on your HotSync Manager icon in the tool tray, and select "Custom". Make sure your HotSync Account name is showing in the top window, then highlight the Memos app and click the "Change" button. Click the selection for "Desktop Overwrites Handheld" and click "Done". (DO NOT select the "Set as Default" box!) Now do a HotSync. Since you didn't select "Set As Default" it will only do the overwrite for one operation, then default back to "Synchronize".
If using Palm Desktop 6.2.x, change the conduit here: Click on the HotSync Manager icon in the tool tray, and select "Settings". Make sure your HotSync Account name is showing in the top center window, then click the "Applications" link in the left column. Check the box for "Show Details", Highlight the application you wish to change, then click the "Configure" button. Click the bullet for "Desktop Overwrites Handheld" and DO NOT select the "Set as Default" box. Now do a HotSync. Since you didn't select "Set As Default" it will only do the overwrite for one operation, then default back to "Synchronize".
Check to see if the HotSync completes without errors, and your Memos application is back to normal.
2. If the above does not fix the problem, then download and install "DBFixit" from Pimlico Software: http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm The program will search your device for errors, and fix some for free. Others may require the purchase of a registration code, with the funds going to an animal rescue non-profit (Gorilla Haven).

My iPhone wont vibrate when I recive a call or text

I've just realized fir some reason My iPhone wont vibrate when i get a call,text,e-mail or anything else. I checked to make sure in setting that vibrate was on and it is but still nothing. I like to keep my phone on silent for school but if it wont vibrate that doesnt help very much. Please help!

Before going to the store, can you check that you did not activate the Do Not Disturb mode mistakenly? You can do so by doing a slide up from the bottom or in the settings.

Hi Guys, suddenly I am not able to hear on my iphone 3GS whenever I receive a incoming call(it's very hard to hear wat the other people us saying)

Hi Guys, suddenly I am not able to hear on my iphone 3GS whenever I receive a incoming call(it's very hard to hear wat the other people is saying)

I had my GENIUS appointment today. They did a couple of tests by plugging my iPhone into a macbook and both came back without showing problem. However as the genius was working with my phone he ran into the same problem with 3G and I had taken some screen shots showing full signal strength but unable to make a call, failure to send mms, and internet unable to connect, so he switched out my phone for a new one as I am still under warranty for another 3 months.
Make sure you backup your data and restore your phone as a new phone before going in to see a Genius, otherwise they may choose to try that process first and do some diagnotistic tests before being able to switch it out, and that can take up to 4 days.
Best guess by the Genius was that it was a hardware problem with the internal cellular antenna. He also recommended I get a new (free) SIM card from AT&T which I did (kiosk was in same mall)
So bottom line...if your 3G is messed up, make an appointment with Apple Genius. Thanks to all who tried to help, but mostly thank you apple Genius for great customer service.

I just bought the iphone 4s and when I have loss calls the telephone does not work?

I just bought the iphone 4s and when I have loss calls the telephone does not work?
i cant turn off, i cant do anything
should I droop it?

I know this sounds really basic, but did you remove the protective plastic film? I was going to leave mine on for protecting the screen and had the same issue. I removed it as it was the source of the problem.
Good luck!

Is there a way to do a soft reset when the power button does not work?

After needing to enact my replacement repair warranty, I received a device (smae one and same serial) but the screen had unresponsive spoots, and dim spots, I decided to turn right around and send it back again. I got a replaced screen again, but this time my power button doesn't work. Now, this isn't too inconvenient for me except that I cant do a soft reset or power off/on in order to clear the cobwebs from time to time. Does anyone know of an app, or another way to do this? I'm simply afraaid of what iddues it may come back with if I send it in a 4th time.
So, App?
Or, maybe a special keybaord combo I can put in like on phones? (IE ##XXXXX#

To remove the Restrictions passcode, you need to restore the phone as a new device using iTunes. Hit the "Restore" button on the Summary Pane.

IPhone strange reset when in e-mail client

Since the update for the iPhone 2 weeks ago, the iPhone has a strage reset when I am deleting or sending e-mail. The screen goes black, and within 10 seconds or so it goes to Home. When I go back into mail, all the e-mails I deleted reappear, while e-mails I was in the process of composing or sending have to be re-typed.
Additionally, there seems to be a bit more lag on various applications. Any ideas?

Mr. Hughes,
Here is a quote from Mail Help under Fonts:
"Helvetica Fractions font may cause text to display improperly in Address Book, iChat, Safari, Mail
If you have the Helvetica Fractions font installed, text in some applications (including Address Book, iChat, Safari and Mail) may appear as overlapping numbers and symbols.
To avoid this issue in Mac OS X 10.3 and later, use Font Book to turn off the Helvetica Fractions font.
If you're using Mac OS X 10.2.8 or earlier, check these two font locations for the Helvetica Fractions font:
• /Library/Fonts/
• ~/Library/Fonts/ (the tilde represents your Home folder)
If you find a Helvetica Fractions font (or fonts), which may appear as "HelveFra" or "HelveFraBold," remove it from the folders. (To avoid other issues, do not disable the Helvetica font.)

Soft reset when syncing

I have just gotten a new TX (upgrading from a T3) and like it very much. But I notice when I hotsync, the TX does an automatic soft reset and goes back to the Palm Screen. Is this normal or is there something causing this that I can fix? (I am a relative Newbie and non-techie so please take that into account when answering.
Thanks in advance.
Hugh

There are two main things that could cause the issue.
1. You backup conduit is set to handheld overwrites desktop. To check right click on your hotsync icon and select custom then go down to backup and see what it is set for
2. If you didn't follow the proper upgrade procedure as outlined at http://kb.palm.com solution id 40720 then you could have incompatible software settings or preferences coming over to your new handheld.
