Phone changes to contacts from recents, favorites etc.

iPhone 5: Whenever I open Phone from my home screen, it flashes the most recently used one, say keypad or recents and then switches to contacts immediately. This was never a problem before and has started only recently. What could have happened and what can I do to fix it?
To elaborate, if I just made a call from favorites and ended it and then press phone, it switches over to the Contacts tab. Same thing for if I called a recent number of dialed from the keypad. What can I do about this??

Did a backup and a restore too but that didn't work. I might add here that I did a bit of "modification" to my phone so perhaps its one of the extra apps that is causing this...I guess I can live with it

Add new contact from Recent no longer working

I was in the process of adding a contact from my Recent Calls list. Another call came in, so I took it. When I went back to complete the process, the contact add screen was gone.
Now, after multiple shutdowns and restarts of the phone, I can't add a contact from my recents list. It's as if partially entered screen is lurking in the background, and until I complete it, it won't give me a new screen to fill out for another number. (This is my interpretation of the issue.)
Anyway, when I click on the Create New Contact or Add to Existing Contact buttons after hitting the arrow to the right of the number in the list, nothing happens. The text and call buttons still work.
How can I get the phone to "release" the partial data, if that's the issue, and start giving me the screen to enter the contact info?

Try adding a contact from another app, like Maps or email yourself a vCard.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to restore the iPhone from backup or setup as a new device.

Can't change iPhone contact from SMS to imessage

I was sending an imessage to a friend (an iPhone user) and it wasn't working for some reason and it asked me if I wanted to send as SMS which I clicked on accident. After I sent the SMS, the contact shows up in green instead of blue when I tried to start a new conversation. I've tried many ways to fix this including:
*resetting network setting
*deleting and readding contact
*restarting imessage
*restarting my phone
I've read that the iPhone changes the contact (if it's a SMS or imessage) automatically and I am trying to avoid factory reset. My other iPhone users contact still shows up as blue on imessage. It's only a problem for the one contact I accidentally sent a SMS to. Now I am stuck at a dead end and don't know what to do anymore. I currently have an iPhone 6 running on iOS 8.1.3 and my software is up to date.

1st of all I would recommend you changed your IDE controler from v2.6 to v2.5 or the standard SW IDE that comes with xp.
Go to your device manager, expand where it says IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Go to the apprropriate tab (Primary or Seconday Channel) depending on where you have connected your device, and then choose your preffered transfer mode. If you have eveything connected well, and you are not getting any transfer errors (quite common with 2.6 nvidia IDE driver) if you tick the "Let BIOS select transfer mode" it should default to Ultra DMA 2 - Ultra 33.
Hope this helps.

Change the name from Portal Favorites to Portal Favourites

Hi,
There is a requirement that where ever in Portal, the name of Portal Favorites should be changed to Portal Favourites.
So when I add something to Portal Favorites in Portal, then there we get Organize Entries in the context menu and opening this it will open a pop-up having name as Favorites.
I searched and come to know that this is coming from a folder under KM Content /userhome/<portal-userid>/Favorites.
If I changes the name Favorites to Favourites then it reflects to that corresponding id, but changing from here for every portal-userid will be very difficult.
Can someone tell how we can change on global basis for every portal user.
Regards,
Deep Nain Kundra

Hi there,
The iView called "Favorites" in Content Provided by SAP > End User Content > Standard Portal Users > iViews > com.sap.km.iviews points to a KM folder which you can find in Content Administration > KM Content > root > Entry Points > Favorites. You can change the name of this folder: with Entry Points > Favorites selected choose Folder > Details and then Settings > Properties, set the name to whatever you like and click Save.
Now this isn't 100% effective but if a user accesses the Organize Entries command from the Favorites context menu, they will now see your custom folder name. A preview of the iView will show the same.
What this doesn't do is change the name of the Entry Point, so a user looking under Documents will still see the heading "Favorites". According to SAP Help this can be changed by creating a custom bundle file, but despite following the steps detailed in [Changing Labels and Symbols for Entry Points|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/36/8b6b4066d9bf49e10000000a1550b0/content.htm] I have not had success with this.

HT4759 help I have deleted all my phone numbers and contacts from my I phone they are stored in the icloud but I do not know how to reload them into my phone

I need help restoring my contact and phone number nformation backto my phone from the I cloud how do I do that

Welcome to the Apple Community Mom Mom barb.
if you are sure your contacts are still available at iCloud.com, then you've probably turned off contact syncing on the phone.
Go to settings > iCloud and turn contacts on.

Lost phone. Recover contact from iTunes?

I recently lost my iPhone and I am awaiting a replacement. However I urgently need to look up some contact details. My phone was recently sync and backed up in my PC. Is there any way of accessing the contacts before my new phone turns up?

iTunes is not a contact management application.
If the device was being used as intended and contacts were synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like MobileMe or Gmail, then contacts could be accessed via that application or cloud service.

If I delete phone numbers and contacts from my phone, and I go synch up and back up my phone to computer, will I get the contacts and phone numbers put back on my phone again

If I delet contact/phone numbers from my iPhone and then go to back up my iPhone in iTunes, will it put them back in my phone> if so, how do I get rid of those contacs.number out of the stored info on the computer?
Kris

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

Contacts created from recent calls not showing up in Contact application

recently added contact from recent calls section. Tried to find contact in the Contact applicaton and it wasn't there. I was able to find it by searching the phone and the name came up when I received a call from the contact again. How do I get it to appear in the Contact application for easier access? Do I have to create the contact in the CONTACT APPLICATION for it to appear?
Thanks for your help.

After calling Verizon, here is a fix that worked for me.
1.) Look at your contacts information on the iPhone. If your phone numbers are not formatted with the parentheses and dashes, and are just a string of numbers like this: 1234567890, it likely means something went afoul in the initial sync. This is a good indicator that the following will work.
2. BACKUP YOUR IPHONE ON ITUNES before you go any farther. You may eject the iPhone at this point or leave it connected. I left mine connected to my desktop.
3. Then go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. You will receive a prompt or two to make certain this is what you want. Proceed.
4. Let the Reset process conclude. It may take a couple minutes or so.
5. You will have to go through the re-activation process afterwards. Slug through it.
6. When all that is finished, reconnect your iPhone (if you disconnected it after backup).
7. When asked, select "Restore iPhone from a Backup". Let the process finish.
8. Now, check your contacts. If instead of seeing a line of numbers for your phone entries, you see a number properly formatted like this: (123) 456-7890, then you have likely solved your problem.
9. Try calling your iPhone from a phone that is in your contacts list and see what happens.
10. If this doesn't work, you will likely have to call Verizon or Apple. The Verizon tech support agent said that the issue has been sent to Apple for resolution. It may be something amiss in the initial install of iOS to the Verizon phones. Who knows, but this is defnitely a software issue of some type.

I deleted a contact, but they still show up in my text options to send. I would like to delete the contact from my texts too.

No don't restore your iphone. I've done that several times & it has never worked. -I still have deleted contacts in my iphone texts. *However if you do restore it you will not lose all your data, pics, text messages etc if you backup in iCloud. It restores back to original phone. Very nice :). Anyhowwww....
I JUST figured it out!! :))). Remove the contact from recents.
Start a text. You should see the deleted contact. All the way to the right of the name is a symbol. The symbol is a circle with "i" in the middle. Click that symbol then in red lettering click "remove from recents".

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

My daughter and i use the same icloud account and apple account but now on my iphone and her ipod we have each others contacts. i want to delete her contacts on my iphone without losing my contacts on my phone or her contacts on her ipod. I

My daughter and i share the same Apple ID account and I cloud account but I just unwittingly merged them on my Iphone 5s. Now i have all her contacts and my own. I want to delete hers from my phone and stop from her receiving my emails and my contacts. Can i fix both problems without erasing my contacts on my phone and her contacts from her ipod?

Hi,
I got my phone a couple of years ago and when it came in the mail, I wasn't home so my brother decided to set up my iPhone for me because he was so desperate to check the phone out. My iCloud account has been his account and it's been set up under his e-mail since the day I got my phone. Once he bought an iPhone, he set it up under the same e-mail account and now we share it. It's so annoying because all of my pictures and stuff are stored in my iCloud, but that's under his e-mail and I really want a new iCloud account but I want to transfer all of my iCloud information and pictures to my e-mail without losing them. Randomly, my brother has been receiving some of my facetime calls and I even turned it off so that it is only set on my device. I didn't even know he received any of my facetime calls until the other day when my friend told me. Now, our contacts are shared and I don't want that either. At one point during the summer, he was receiving my text messages as well. I turned all of those off under settings so they wouldn't be shared on his device, but I need to find a way to carry my iCloud stuff and set it up in a my own completely separate account. Please, please help me. I really am getting so frustrated with it and neither of us want to delete our accounts because we don't want to lose our iCloud stuff.

How do i erase a whole conversation that has already been removed from "Recent"?

As I understand it, the only way to erase a conversation is when the person u want to erase the conversation with, is still in your "Recent". I removed my contact from "Recent" before erasing conversations and now am unable to do it. Does anyone know how to do that? Please help.

Transferring contacts from blackberry, any tips?

I'm trying to transfer my old contacts from my blackberry curve to my new iPhone 5c. They have different sims so i obviously can't do it manually and according to some websites i can't do it through my google account without paying. Can anyone tell me a way to do this? Would be much appreciated as i have hundreds of contacts.

Even though the sims are different sizes the cellular provider for your new iPhone should be able to copy them to the new sim. AT&T local office did this for me several years ago. Then the following method: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4994
Another approach is method 1 in the following. Did you already have your contacts on your PC while you were using the blackberry? If so you can skip some of those steps. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/mobile-phone/3448910/move-contacts-from-blackb erry-iphone/

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).
