My android 2.3 upgrade deleted phone numbers and won't let me edit some of my contacts now.

My Android 2.3 upgrade deleted contacts, deleted some random phone numbers, gave me text and email options for people when it eliminated needed phone numbers. It now has contact from Facebook and yahoo... and I can't seem to edit these and add in the phone numbers it deleted. I need help!!! I am soo  frustrated with this new upgrade, I have barely used my phone for days now!! How do I fix this?

LadyLaRee, I can understand how losing contacts can be frustrating! First, which Android do you have? If you have numbers from Facebook, those cannot be edited because the information is coming from the user's Facebook profile. Also, your contacts from Yahoo may only have the email address which is why it is showing that way. They would need to update the number on their profile. The settings will vary by phone, but if you open your contacts, press the Menu button, you will normally have options for View or something similar. You can select which contact groups you want to show or not. Verify which options are checked. You can deselect Facebook or Yahoo if you choose. You will also have an option to only display contacts with phone numbers.

  • My personal ringtones are on my iPhone 5, they are attached to the correct phone numbers and play correctly when I test them on each contact.  But when I receive a call instead of the proper ringtone, it plays the generic.  What Am I not doing right?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    it depends on whether or not the contacts are in a contacts program on your computer and where they are on your phone. if they're on your phone in icloud, then no. if they're on your phone from an email account, then no. if they're on your phone in a group called 'from my pc' or 'outlook' or something like that, then yes, by default, they'll most likely come back to your phone from your computer

  • After iOS5 upgrade, iPod touch 2nd gen won't let me edit calendar events

    I have an iPod touch 2nd gen with the old processor, so I'm stuck using iOS 4.2.1 on the touch.
    Meanwhile, I have a MacBook and new iPad running Lion/iOS 5.
    Before I upgraded to iOS 5, I could edit calendar events from either my macbook or from my Touch.  Now, I can't edit calendar events on the Touch, and when I add new ones from the Touch, the options are restricted (e.g., I can't designate which calendar the item belongs to).
    Please help!  This functionality is very important to me because I take the Touch to work, but not my other mac devices, so I need to be able to edit on the go.
    Thanks,
    Carl

  • Delete phone numbers permantently even off of icloud

    How can I delete phone numbers off of iCloud?  I wish not to have a backup!

    The Contacts app on iCloud is not technically a back up but a means to sync it's data between devices. Turn Contacts off in the iCloud settings on all your devices selecting the option to keep a copy on the device when prompted. Double check, be sure Contacts is turn off the iCloud settings in all devices. Then from a web browser on a computer go to www.icloud.com and delete all contacts from the iCloud app. 
    Contacts is still a part of the iOS devices backup when it is in iTunes or iCloud. If you don't want this backup on iCloud turn it off in Settings/iCloud/Storage & Backup turning off iCloud Backup. It will then backup to a computer through iTunes.

  • Text messages come up as phone numbers instead of names - even though they're in my contacts.

    i updated my 4S from iOS 5 to iOS 5.0.1 and all of my contacts transferred, but now all of my text messages come up as phone numbers instead of names - even though they're in my contacts.

    Hi,
    I take it these are iMessages contacts ?
    Are you using iCloud to Sync your Contacts apps info ?
    In Messages > Preferences > Accounts > Details Button (You will need to sign in again) do you have the correct Country/Region set ?
    This can effect the adding of the correct Country Code prefix to your own number and distort the coming form the Contacts app if the number there don't include a Country Code.

  • HT4623 Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    The update process DOES back up contacts and photos, unless you interrupted the backup. The manual tells you to sync contacts to an app on your computer, and to import photos regularly to your computer. So Apple DID tell you to back up, you just didn't bother to read it.
    If you didn't sync yet (and even if you did) connect the phone to your computer, right click on its name, and choose "Restore from Backup". If there's more than one backup choose the one with a timestamp before you updated.
