Pause or Confirm when dialing from contacts or recents?

Does anyone know of a way to "pause" dialing from Contacts or Recents? Touch a Recent or a phone number in a Contact and iPhone immediately initiates a call... I'm looking for an app or setting that would ask "are you sure you want to make this call" first. Thank you!

Kind of funny, as it's certainly happened to me that I started a call without wanting to. But I've gotten used to 2 things to stop this:
1. don't tap and release, just tap and hold, then scroll. If you tap and hold, the call won't start, and you can choose not to call by simply scrolling up or down and then releasing.
2. keeping my thumb to the right side of the screen when looking at the recent phone call list. That way, if I happen to tap, it just opens up the contact info.

Nokia C7 Dialing from contact list

I'm having problem dialing from contact list and recent calls. I can only makes calls when dialing the numbers. I can receive calls. Texting works fine from contact list and recent calls, but voice call can only be done by dialing the number .Phone has to reboot everytime it happens.

Hi Remembranze,
First of all, check via Nokia Suite and on the phone itself for any firmware updates that may be available. IF there is an update, please update to the latest version offered. If there is no update, then try re-installing your current firmware via Nokia Suite. Failing this, try Restoring your phone to factory settings, and if this doesn't work, then you try performing a three finger hard reset. Failing this, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to inspect.

E75 can't dial from contacts

Love my new E75. Last week I could dial from contacts no worries - this week - nada, no go, no dial. As the phone is likely smarter than me - what am I doing wrong??

Try this. Turn off the phone. Remove the battery. Count to 10. Put the battery back in, turn it on and see if that fixes it.

I try to dial from contact list, but phone wants to email.

This appears to have happened by itself, but it's my wife's iPhone.
She trys to dial from her contact list, but iphone wants to email even when a phone number is touched.

Try resetting the iPhone. Hold down the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, try and see if it works. Also, can you dial a phone number and the call go through?

Cannot dial from contact list

Received new 4S Iphone to replace recently stolen phone. I did sync with my lap top and when contacts loaded to phone the format is different than it was on other phone. No dashes no area code just all straight numbers. When I try to call from my contacts I am unable to call anyone; however, I can manually dial the number and it works. what do I need to do?

Try dialing *228 and then option 1. Be sure to wait until you a get a message saying that it was successful.

Stop adding + when dialing from address book

Hi, I have a Verizon 8830, and I'm currently in China. I am using a local pre-paid SIM card from China mobile and it works fine. Mobile telephone numbers in china start with 13XXXXXXXXX. I stored one number in the address book (e.g. 13888888888, with no country code), but when I open the contact and select call number 13888888888, a plus is added when it calls the number which looks like this +13888888888... of course, this way the phone is making a call to the US which isn't what I'm doing. To get around this, I need to either save the number as 8613888888888, so that when the plus is added, it finds the correct country code and dials the chinese number with no problem, or save the number as +8613888888888.
But I don't want to fix all modify all my numbers, and I want to know why it's adding the plus??? Is there an option to turn this feature off?
FYI, if I [i]dial[/i] the number manually as 13888888888 instead of calling it from the address book, it doesn't add the plus...

Cannot make long distance calls when dialing from BB address book

Hello,
1) If use a number from my address book, example 1-604-824-2021, to call long distance I get a message "all long distance calls must include the area code. Please check the number and dial again."   If I use the telephone pad to call the exact same number, eg 1-604-82402021, the call goes through. Is there a setting to adjust? Please advise. Thank you.
2) I synched my BB to Outlook 2007 on my pc in order to print a hardcopy of my contact list. The sync worked fine but only gave me the contacts with an email address and their name. Contacts on my BB without email addresses didn't show on the list and all details, addresses, birthdates, and most importantly phone numbers for any contacts didn't show up. Is there a way to get ALL the contact details on a hardcopy? Thank you.
The folks at Telus can't help because they apparently don't know BB products well enough. I'm not about to pay BB technical to tell me how to use their product but i might take the service providers advise to buy an iPhone. Can someone offer advise to solve these two seemingly simple issues
Thanks again.

Please check your Smart Dialing settings...it may be that they are active, which could make the "1" in your Contact Item extraneous.

Interesting...it should sync everything...hmmm... Well, if your only interest is a hard copy, then an export might be just as simple. The Desktop Software can export to a CSV, which you could then render in Excel, and do with as you please. Unfortunately, the export feature was removed in the most recent versions of the Desktop Software (don't ask...it's a HUGE bru-ha-ha!!), and you must use an older version (6.x or lower, as I recall) to do that:

Itunes 9.2 consistently pauses the music when playing from Ipod Touch

I couldn't find this posted anywhere else so ever since updating itunes and my ipod touch I've been having a problem when playing music on my computer from ipod. About 5-10 times during the song itunes will pause the song and my ipod will say "Syncing in progress". It gets really annoying and hasn't happen before the update. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

You should get your songs into iTunes and then immediately back them up.
To get the songs off your iPod and into iTunes, see this post from Zevoneer > http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11857456&#11857456

E71 Cannot dial from Contacts List

With my E71 phone I cannot dial numbers directly from my Contacts List. I have to write number down then manually dial. What have I set wrongly? How can I correct this?

I found the answer myself. Just switch the phone off and on again to make it re-boot. Frustrating but just like a computer! or maybe it was taking it 30,000 feet into the air that cured it!!

When emailing from Contacts, Send button is grayed out

I'm using an iPhone 5s with iOS 8.2.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to Contacts
- Select a name
- Where it lists their email address, press the email address
- This opens a New Message. The To: field will have the selected email address. The Cc/Bcc, From will has my default email address. NOTE: This doesn't matter whether using Yahoo, Gmail, Earthlink, or an work Exchange email account. Applies to ALL email accounts.
- Type in a Subject
- Type in a Message
- The 'Send' button in the upper right remains grayed out
- If you press 'Cancel' in the upper left, it will ask to Delete or Save Draft or Cancel. Deleting Draft takes you to the Mailboxes window
- If you press where the To: email address is, the email you are sending to will disappear and a Circle-Plus sign appears and you have to either type in the recipient again or use the plus sign which takes you back to the Contact list
I've checked settings, changed default email accounts, deleted email accounts and reloaded, but it is the same behavior.
Is this a bug?

Yes, that's a bug. I've seen it as well.

Can you print envelopes from Contact?

Can you print envelopes from Contact?

macjack, thanks again
I followed your instructions, but when you check on any of the presets and look at what can and cannot be "preset" you see that these are the standard print settings, and have nothing to do with the dialogue box choices that you have when you first select the Style "Envelopes" when printing from Contacts.
file://localhost/Users/chvsteve/Desktop/Contacts%20envelope%20print.tiff
(Hopefully when I send this reply, the screen shot I took of the screen I am writing about will appear in this message)
The "Presets" dropdown menu above under the "Printer" dropdown menu only refers to regular print dialogue box options and not those you can select under "Layout", "LAbel" or "Orientation" from the special dialogue box for printing envelopes from Contacts.
And it is these settings that I woul dlike to fix in a preset so I don't have to repeat them every time I want to print an envelope or a label from COntacts.
Any ideas on fixing these options into a preset?
Of should I finally break down and learn something about AppleScripts and use them in a situation like this?

Missing contact when "create new contact" from email or number

I am having a really strange problem on my iPhone and think it will be a fun mystery to solve. Please help me!
It is currently set up with google so that my mail/notes are using gmail IMAP and my contacts/calendars are using Google Sync. So far it's been working pretty well except for all the known many bugs and issues (please fix these, google!). I have no other email, calendar, or contact accounts set up (not even syncing with my computer).
I received an email from a friend who I did not yet have a contact for, so in the email header I clicked her name and chose to "Create new contact." As usual, the email address was already in the "email" field, so I just edited her name and filled out the "company" field and pressed Done. The "from" field in the email updated to show that the contact had been added to my phone and that it recognized the email as being from her.
Now, I go to add a number to her contact and when I navigate through my contacts list, her name is no where to be seen. I've tried searching through the contacts by using the search bar at the top of both the Phone and the Contacts apps, but nothing shows up. However, when I compose an email and start typing her address, it recognizes her as a contact. Even weirder, I just tried the entire phone search spotlight feature, and it found her contact right away, as if it were any normal contact. When I click on it, it brings me to her contact page, which I cannot edit, and when I press the little left arrow "Contacts" in the top left of the screen to go back to the whole listing, she's not there!
When I go to add contacts using the little + symbol in the top right of the phone app, it works normally and the contact appears as usual. But every time I try to do a new contact from email, this happens! Choosing to "update existing contact" works fine, though. So I've been forced to create an empty contact with her name in the Phone app, and then add the email to it.
Please help my find where in my phone this contact is residing, and how to bring it out so I can find it. I have tried force-quitting the relevant apps from the multi-task dock, and even turning off and on my phone, but to no luck.
Update: Just tried creating a new contact from a phone number I've previously dialed and the same thing happens! Where are my contacts going?? This is so weird!
Not sure if this is just a google sync issue, but I figured I'd post it in case other people are having similar issues
Device: Apple iPhone 4
Carrier: AT&T
Country / Language: USA English
OS: iOS 4

I recently experienced a similar event. I was adding from Contacts "+" button on the iPhone 4. I completed entering the data & hit "done". I went back to add a photo. I hit "done" & went to test the result. No new contact. Search did not find it. Tried two more times with different contacts. Same result.
At one point, the "All Contacts" directory went blank. Nothing. Seconds later the contacts returned. Scary. I rebooted the iPhone. No new contacts but old ones fine.
I then entered with an old iPhone on OS 3.2 same data. Showed quickly via MobileMe. On the new iPhone added photo the photo. All OK. From an iPad, OS3 I did the same. Added photo in new phone. All OK. I added from the new iPhone including photo. All OK.
The iPhone IOS4 reboot may be the answer. Wish I had tried older systems before reboot.

Contact picture when dialing

When dialing a number from my "contacts" the picture shows up underneath the overlay. Everyone else's phones I have seen (including the ones in the Apple Stores) show the contact picture at the top of the screen next the name. How can I get my iPhone to do this? I have a 16GB, 3G, and 2.0.2 update. Thanks.

I am trying to send a friend a group email list from Contact. When it arrives there is only one contact in it. There should be 30! Any ideas?

I am trying to send a friend a group email list from Contact. When it arrives there is only one contact in it. There should be 30! Any ideas?

The procedure for exporting a group is to right-click (or Control-click) on the group in Contacts and select Export Group vCard, then email the resulting file to your friend. Is that what you're doing? If not, give that a try. You can confirm the contents of the file by doing a Quick Look on the file.
Hope this helps.
