Phone app contacts vs. contacts app contacts

why is the phone application contacts differnt from the contacts application. when in phone app you cannot access your favorites or extended search criteria by swiping to the right. After making a phone call i have to leave phone app and go to contacts app to get this info. Phone app only has basic contact info (no favorites or extended search info) should this not be the same.

I agree.

Phone and Contacts APP not working after the upgrade 4.01 from 4.0

Dear all
after the upgrade to 4.01 my iphone stop to operate the phone and the contacts app
when i open phone or contacts the app close(crash) after 1 sec.
When i connect to the mac i have the following message from itunes:
"iTunes could not sync to the iPhone"Christos" because contacts are being synced over-the-air."
Trying to open and change the settings at: mail, contacts, calendar but also crash
Please help
Thanks for your support

This happened to me after I upgraded to 4.0. While the iPhone update offers some great new features it has really done a number on some very basic functions and overall operation.
I am no longer able to use the contacts app to place calls. I can pull up my contact list but when I select an individual contact, the phone seems to freeze for a second and then crashes. (It might be worth mentioning that I use Exchange to sync my contacts.) While the contacts are all on the phone, I can't access actual contact information for each individual.
I'm also experiencing random freezes, touchscreen delays, etc.
I can deal with some minor bugs but not being able to use your contacts to place calls is a huge problem.

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

My phone app freezes and message app crashes. I tried restarting multiple times and the problem persists. Everytime i go to the phone app and press on a contact to call it just freezes up and does nothing. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

My phone app freezes and when i press on contact either it freezes or does nothing. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Also messaging app crashes. ANOTHER NEW PROBLEM: I can't receive calls either.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

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.

Phone app - not identifying contacts

I dont know if anyone else has noticed this and also I dont know if it a post 1.3 issue or not as I didnt notice it earlier. Anyway I have populated my contacts using full international numbers so they start +44.... etc. The phone app correctly identifies incoming mobile/cell phone numbers in my contacts but landlines within the UK dont get associated with the corresponding number in the contacts list so unless I know the number by heart I dont know how is calling. I am surprised that mobile calls are handled differently to landline. Any ideas anyone? I am quite happy to go in and vi a few files if there is something straighforward to edit. Also I have noticed with incoming calls the phone screen wakes up but when the other person drops the call it goes back to screen off and locked immediately, and idea how I make it stay awake after the call is finished. I had a brief look here and also on maemo.org but couldnt find anything that popped out at me. Regards Noel

ok first i only have the numbers out of my country with internationl format, all the numbers that are in the country you live in don't need international codesl and i didn't get your phone calls problem, but most of the ui problems were fixed with the modified hildon-desktop .
Reality is wrong....dreams are for real... 2pac .

Dding favorite contacts in phone app causes it to crash in iOS 4.1

Hey guys I had this problem in ios4.1 and I am running on an iphone 4.
Go to your phone app,Then go to your favorites tab,Then tap the add button,Then go to the search feature in your contacts tab and search for any contact,after that click the contact and try to add them to your favorites list. Does your phone app crash as soon as you try to add a contact to the favorites?
Now you must search for the contact and not scroll through.
It happends to contacts that just have one piece of info. Like a solo phone number or a solo email address. If selects contacts with multiple pieces of info just fine.

Yup it only happens when you search for a contact through the favorites tab for a contact with a single entry.
Contacted apple and they said I'd have to go to the store to check it out or have a $599 hold on my account while they send a new one.
Its not too troublesome since there is a workaround. So here's hoping the next update might fix it. I don't know if a hardware problem cause I think 4.0.2 worked fine.
If more people could take a minute to try it we can confirm if its a hardware or software issue.
Thanks!
Steps just incase people want to try it
1) Open the Phone app
2) Go to the favorites tab
3) Add a contact from the favorites tab
4) Search for a contact with a *single number entry* by using the search function
5) Let us know if it crashes back to the home screen!

'Create New Contact' not working in Phone app

I want to Create New Contact after a call from a new number (selecting the "circled i" button next to the "unknown" phone number in the Recents tab) but while I was entering data in the Contact app, I was interrupted, the iPhone went to sleep and my extensive Contact entry was lost because no data is saved until the Done button is manually selected which closes the record.
When I go back to the Phone app and select the "circled i" button next to the "unknown" phone number in the Recents tab, both the "Create New Contact" and the "Add to Existing Contact" buttons to take me to the Contact app do not work...i.e. nothing happens when I press them, even after putting the iPhone to sleep. After several tries, I let it sleep for 10 minutes and now these buttons linking to the Contact app from the Phone app again work as usual.
So we have two unacceptable defects in the iPhone basic Apple apps here:
1- interruptions while entering a new Contact app record causes the new record to be lost because it isn't automatically saved when the iPhone goes to sleep or an incoming call, etc, but only when the user manually selects the Done button in the Contact app record, which closes the record and one must then select the Edit button to resume data entry (repeat often to simply save as you enter in case there is an unexpected interruption...how dumb is that?. This is just poor iOS implementation that doesn't consider common usage situations that cause data loss, and it could be data that isn't easily retrieved. If Apple doesn't know how to implement auto save at frequent intervals, or upon certain events like sleep or incoming call, then they should at least put a Save button next to the Done button so we can manually save without the stupid Done and Edit button pushing, repeat, repeat, repeat.
2- A bug in the Phone app that causes the link buttons to the Contact app to stop functioning in at least the situation I describe above. This is unacceptable in a mature iOS basic usage app.

Contacts created in Phone app do not show in the Contacts list.

Hello,
When I create a new contact from within the Phone app (i.e. from a "Recent" call) it does not show up in my contacts list. The new contact will show up in a search, but it only appears in the Phone app in the "Info" window. Any info. on why this happens and how I can correct it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

I'm having the same problem....I think.
1. I add a new contact to my iphone and it doesn't appear in the Contacts listing, but when I do a global search (slide left from the home screen) it appears.
2. It's also not syncing to my pc.
Did anyopne manage to get a resolution besides resetting all settings?

Contacts tab under Phone app bug in iOS 8.2

Hi everyone,
I heard this bug /error in the early releases of iOS 8.x and faced it personally in 8.2. When you go contacts tab in "Phone" app -this is important because this issue is only in the contacts tab under the Phone app. It doesn't happen in Contacts app itself or an third part app like WhatsApp. As I said only under the Phone app's contacts tab- and type a common name or surname in your contacts ,for example "Kartal" in my case, the app searches this word in your contact list and gives you result. The problem starts here: When you want the select the last result from the search -of course results must over flow the screen- and you scroll your finger down to last result it comes out of the screen when you pull your finger from the screen. Does anyone noticed this and has a solution for it? (I guess this can only be solved by an update)
I may get you confused with my language sorry for that : )
Ali.

I think I see what you are saying - you cannot get to the last results of the search. Yes, it appears to be a bug. Please report it to http://www.apple.com/feedback as we are all just users here and cannot do anything about it. Thanks.

Why do I have to browse all my email contact in the phone app?

When browsing for a phone number in my contact list from the phone app, why do I have to browse through the 100's of contacts for which I just have an email address with no phone number?
Thanks

You can browse for the name, or you can use the search feature available at the top of the contact list. To move to the top of the contact list and the search feature, select the status bar to go directly to the top of the list and the search option.

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.

Calling a Contact Inadvertently From Phone App

When I tap on the tile which I have setup for the people "app" which I have placed on the "home" screen, I can scroll through contacts, tap on a contacts name and then I have the option to call mobile or send an SMS. However if I select the phone app from the app list or an app tile placed on my home screen, and scroll through the contact list, it is easy to inadvertently call a number (especially if the name is long and stretches across the screen) if a scroll gesture is interpreted as a tap. This is because there is no secondary call button once a contact is selected.
Is this a bug or just an oversight?
Does anyone else find it annoying?
I usually just use the people app for this reason, but have to switch to the phone app if I want to check on call history or dial a number manually from the numeric keypad.

Hi Alicia,
I am not sure about UCCX bout with UCCE & CVP you can provide that service.
"Cisco Unified CVP supports audio-based self-service and queuing for calls, which optionally become video calls when routed to a contact center agent. This support provides rich caller-agent interactions while saving cost and bandwidth during the self-service portion of the call. Video contact center is supported in this way for the following calling endpoints:
• Cisco TelePresence™ communications system
• Third-generation (3G) mobile devices (when connected to the network through a Cisco Integrated 3G-324M Gateway)
• Cisco Unified Video Advantage cameras
• Cisco Unified IP Phone 7985G videophone"

Since the last software update, I am unable to add new contacts or change existing contacts - neither if I use the green Phone app nor using the brown Contacts app. Any suggestions?

*Update*
I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
"Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support" see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....
