Non-functional Favorites and Phone Apps

My favorites' list got deleted, plus I cannot use it anymore (even though the main icons appear). Also, when I go to "phone" the keypad is locked, I cannot type any number to call it. I can only call through "contacts", by tapping on a contact's number. Still, I get on the top of the screen a green stripe saying "Touch to return to call". If I tap on it, I don't get anything either...
What should I do?? Please any help would be greatly appreciated

Standard troubleshooting is:
1) Reset - hold sleep/wake & home button until the Apple logo appears
2) Restore - connect to iTunes and click on the restore button
3) If 1 & 2 do not work, call AppleCare or make an appointment at the Genius Bar - http://apple.com/retail

How do you separate favorites for Phone App and Facetime App?

I was wondering if there was a way to separate the phone favorites from the Facetime favorites.
I find it kind of annoying that I can't just add a Facetime favorite without it appearing in my phone favorites.

If you would of read the last line of the description for that app... it says:
"It's without a doubt the best joke you can play on them with your device! For entertainment purpose only and does not provide true device locator functionality."
It's meant to be a joke. You tell your friend your going to track them (while they are standing right in front of you) you punch in their number, and the app appears to hone in on their position. But of course its only using your location.

Universal Apps and Push Notifications (Question on both Store and Phone app)

I have a Universal App and trying to implement notifications. I have an Azure Notification Hub and the code in the app.xaml.cs (shared) file that is creating the channel and binding to my notification hub. This all works great for the Windows Store app.
However, I don't receive any notifications on the Phone app (running in the emulator). I am wondering if this is because the code to create the PushNotificationChannel is only registering once (the Store app) and has the same URI as the phone app. This line
of code is what I am referring to:
var channel = await PushNotificationChannelManager.CreatePushNotificationChannelForApplicationAsync();
Since this is by application, and I am essentially running the same app twice on the same machine, via the phone emulator, is only one URI being generated for this?
Thanks for any assistance.

When you created the push notifications in the Azure, you chose the code fr Windows Store, not Windows Phone. as you mentioned you having a universal apps.
Hint: Did you enabled push notifications for local testing ?
This is the 4 steps to have a successful Push notification integration with your app
Register your app for push notifications
Update the service to send push notifications
Enable push notifications for local testing
Test push notifications in your app

Z2 contacts and phone app crashing

I have had my Z2 for a couple of months, and now routinely do factory reset once a fortnight as the Contacts app and the Phone app crashes more and more frequently as time goes by.
The first day after a factory reset, all phone calls will work fine and I can find my contacts.
The second or third day, the Contacts app starts taking a long time, and the phone app starts crashing if I select a contact to call
The fifth to seventh day, the Phone app starts crashing every time I go via Contacts rather than dialling the numbbers
The ninth day or so, the phone crashes on half of the outbound calls
around the fourteenth day, the phone crashes also on inbound calls.
Interestingly, Skype calls work brilliantly, and contacts viewed in Mail or Gmail apps have no problems at all.
Does anyone have similar issues?
Is there a specific update to the Phone app on Android, or any Phone apps you would recommend?

my friend you better repair your phone using PC Companion.

Sync confusion and non-functional find my phone

got an iphone last January. Set it up to sync with my iMac and MBA and all has been working fine. Had used Mobile Me before to sync iMac and MBA. Now getting the messages to be ready for end of MM so went to icloud. Calendar is empty. Address book has old entries but not recently updated data. Why can I not see data on the iCloud web site that seems to be syncing fine between my 3 devices?
Also when I try out the find my iPhone from iCloud it says I have no devices. The app is on my iPhone. Why does it not show?

Browser is non functional after receiving phone call while streaming audio

If I browse to a site that streams audio and play that audio, when a call comes in I am able to answer the call and hang up but when I go back to the browser it appears that the Quicktime window that plays the audio is in the background behind some kind of black modal window except for a thin space at the top of the screen. About the same size as the window for an active call if you do other things with your phone while in a call. I can still hit the Done button on the top left hand corner but that is the end of it. I can't use the browser anymore until I reboot the phone(which I find myself doing quite frequently since the iOS4 update...it reminds me of my Windows Mobile 5 phone it replaced).

Severe color posterization / patches and non functioning selection and fill tools - Mountain Lion

I just got a new laptop (Apple Mac book pro with OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion) and a fresh installation of Adobe CS6 and Photoshop is practically unusable. The issues are that there is weird color banding across the full size image (it looks fine in the thumbnail preview in the ‘navigator’ tab). These bands move and change. Next, when I use the selection tool it selects weird shapes. And if I attempt to fill it, the fills are not the color, nor the transparency nor the shapes that I set. That means masks can’t be used and pretty much no editing is possible. Some blog posts describe a similar problem, and propose changing the ‘Performance’ preferences – but that didn’t fix it for me.

Funny thing... Photoshop CS6 hasn't had a patch yet.
There have been patches to a couple of non-Photoshop components of the whole package, but we're all still awaiting the 13.0.1 update to the Photoshop application itself.
What did this patch look like?

Non-functioning wheel and center button

i'm stuck on the main screen, but it seems to work fine since it displays the cover albums normally
i've tried the following:
[ ] restored
[ ] updated to current iTunes
[ ] fully charged
[ ] toggled btwn lock/unlock then held down the menu and center button
[ ] plugged into other usb
is this problem because while i use a mac at home to restore/add songs/etc, i charge it at work on a pc?

i would love to know how to fix this as well. its happened twice to mine now, and i fixed it the first time by resetting the iPod, but it isn't working this time

Phone and contacts app freezes, becomes slow and scrolling is jittery

My setup:
iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.1 (8C148)
I don't have 3G on my CIM (provider BASE.BE), I can only use WiFi to connect to internet.
I sync my gmail contact (mail and calendar are turned off) through the iPhone built in Exchange account connector.
Fetch new data is off, push is off, fetch set to manually, advanced schedule set to manual.
I only turn WiFi on once a day, when I'm home, sync contacts and then I turn WiFi off again.
Spotlight search is turned off.
Device runs fine, battery life is great (much better than my iPhone 3Gs), I have about 2700 contacts, no duplicates, updates in both directions, everything working perfectly.
Then without any warning, or even without any use of the phone, this happens:
1) The phone and contacts app becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, remains very slow, scrolling becomes jittery or freezes. When the symptom occurs both apps have this issue. I assume because both use contacts. Both apps don't crash, they just get very slow as if they were trying to do something heavy. This does not happen with any particular event, like getting a call or text message. This can happen even at night without any missed calls or text messages send or received. The symptom does not affect any other app. For example when I open the iPod app, scrolling though the long list of music is fast, without any freezing or jittery behavior, while the Phone and Contacts app is still very slow. The problem does not go away by itself. Hard rebooting the phone does not help. I assume the problem is not related to any purchased apps because this can happen when none of them are running.
2) The phone gets really hot.
3) The battery drains very fast. I can go from 100% to 0% in under 30 minutes.
4) CPU usage (use System App to measure) goes from < 20% to >75% or more.
I notice the symptom mostly when in the 1) phone app, or 2) I feel the phone heat up or 3) in the morning when the phone battery is almost empty when it was full the night before.
I can fix the problem by 1) turning on WiFi, opening the contacts app. Then I see the circular indicator in the top left hand corner turning round. This takes just a few seconds, to sync 1 or 2 contacts en when the indicator disappears, the problem is gone. Scrolling is fast again. Problem fixed. It can take a day or two and the problem comes back. Do sync trick again and problem gone again, and so on...
I can also fix the issue by 2) deleting my gmail exchange account, putting it back and syncing everything back. But like with solution 1) the problem will just returns after a few days.
I have even tried a full factory reset and manually putting all my apps back. But again, when I import my gmail contacts, wait a few days and problem returns.
I've been having this issue for a few months now and have done quit some research on the subject. I'm pretty sure I also had the issue on iOS 4.1 and possibly also 4.0. I did not have the issue in iOS3. I had the same problem on my iPhone 3Gs which Apple replaced. I thought the battery was dying. Now I bought an iPhone 4, same problem.
I purchased many system monitor apps to find out what process was causing the problem. The problem is that none of the apps I found report CPU or memory consumption per individual process. So I only know CPU goes from below 20 to 75% and more, but I can't pinpoint which app or process is doing the extra consumption. But it has to be one the standard built in iOS processes. I can see when what process started. And when the issue happens, I can hard reset and don't launch anything, and the problem is still there.
When iPhone apps crash and you connect your phone via iTunes the crash reports are put on your computer. I found these logs but because the contact and phone app don't crash I have found nothing interesting there.
I have not found a way to trigger the problem on purpose. I tried adding, changing deleting contact on my iPhone, none of these actions trigger the issue. The problem just appears at random.
I have also not found a way NOT to have the issue. I've tried not changing any contacts for a few days, but the problem still creeps up.
I have read dozens of threads on the internet and only this one comes close:

I solved this problem by restoring my phone to factory setting. I dint find any solution to this problem. Now instead of using "Google Sync" i use iTunes contact sync which does the same thing.
The key is not to use "Google Sync" when you restore your iPhone. Follow these steps:
1. Take back up of everything. Sync your contacts so your gmail has latest contacts.
2. Restore your iPhone. And set it as new iPhone instead of reloading everything from previous backup.
3. Sync everything using iTunes.
4. For contacts go to Info -> Sync Contact with -> you can set up gmail here and it will load all gmail contacts to your iPhone.
My iPhone is working perfectly after this. I hope it works on your too.

Suddenly Skype, Kobo and more apps won't load /open on my BBZ10

Hi< I am hoping you can help
Suddenly Skype, Kobo, iSpeech Translator, 8tracks, Shazam, SnapChat, Tumbler, iPrint&Scan (Brother), WinAmp, Block Puzzle, Avast and My Account App (Telus), won't load /open on my BBZ10. I am up to date in all of my software updates, I have deleted and reloaded Skype now twice, since this problem started in hopes that, this action might help.
No luck, I have removed quite a few Apps, anything of significant file size, in hopes that memory space might help, but no luck. I have rebooted and pulled the battery many times to solve this problem, with no luck.
When I tap the app to open a black screen with a blue bar starts to load from left to right at the bottom of my screen, it gets about 1/3 of the way across the screen, and the app shuts down, and closes. Skype and Kobo both do this, I need both for Work, especially Skype though.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to give.
Cheers! Sara

I restored my phone for a second time and for some reason it fixed the issue with my contacts and phone apps. However, now it seems like my Mail app will not fetch my mail anymore. My last 6 emails don't have previews (I have mine set to preview the first 2 lines of the email). But all the previous emails do have the 2 line preview. This is very frustrating. This is my 3rd iPhone, I bought the original when it first released and skipped the 3G and bought the 3GS and now I currently own the 4S and this is the first problem I've ever had with an iPhone. I'm really trying to avoid having to speak with an Apple Genius - I shouldn't have to pay for my phone to get fixed because it's not a hardware issue and I couldn't even speak with Apple over the phone about it without an AppleCare plan. I'd much rather try to figure the problem out on my own. Any ideas?

Why do i constantly get cut off on calls. I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5. When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone? is there an App for that !!

Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

Favorites and Contacts Missing from Phone App

When I go into the Phone App on my Iphone 6 I only see Recents, Keypad and Voicemail at the bottom. I used to see Favorites, Recents, Contacts, Keypad and Voicemail. Favorites and Contacts are missing.
I still have the regular Contacts app and can see my contacts are in there so the issue is just related to the phone app.
This is what I see...

If the reset does not cure the issue, check Settings > General > Usage and make sure your available storage is at least 15% or so of your total storage.

Messages App Greyed-Out and Non-functional

I recently installed Yosemite on my (June 2013) Macbook Air and my messages app has just become an exercise in mind-numbing frustration.
Issue:
When I get texts, I get the pop-up notification in the top-right of my Mac with the texter's name and a preview of their message, but when I click on the notifications.. they disappear and nothing happens. Sometimes it'll pull up the messages app, but no matter how many times I restart it, the app is just a grey window that says "No Conversation Selected"-- or sometimes, it doesn't even say that. It's just a blank grey screen. And all (useful) preferences and options in the menu (apart from "about" and "close messages") are greyed-out, and the app itself doesn't show any conversations.
Worst part being that I can't seem to find many people with the same issue, and thus I've Googled myself out to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Check the Font AppleGothic.ttf is active and validates using the Font Book app.
if you have to change anything restart the Mac.
If this is not the issue go to ~/Library/Preferences and find com.apple.ichat.plist and Drag it to the Trash and then restart Messages.
The above reply in another thread solved my issue! Namely that my apple gothic font was disabled, breaking the entire Messages app.
