Problem with Facebook status blocking phone numbers in contact list

Unlike a lot of users, I don't mind that my Facebook contacts merge with my other contacts.  However, I am having a problem with viewing all the information in some of the individual profiles.  It seems that whenever someone updates their FB status, the status posts where the phone number usually is.  The only way to view the phone info for these contacts is to "edit" the entry, then you can see the phone info.  Does anyone know if there is any way to eliminate the status update from the contact information?

I don't mind seeing their updates, I don't even mind seeing the update on the individual contacts page.   I mind not being able to see the phone number field in my contacts list.  I have a friend that has the original Droid and he stated that the update is at the bottom of the screen, not the top covering the phone number.  Why is it that on a phone with so much "ability" that it has to put the Facebook status field over the phone number?

  • Phone numbers in contact list disappeared after last SW-Update

    Hi,
    everything worked fine until this week. My contacts were synchronized with outlook exchange. I got all contact phone & email details.
    Now, I see only email addresses of my contacts. Forcing manual synchronization don't help. It seems that the synchronization works fine but there are still no phone numbers available. A mobile phone without stored phone number is a nightmare!
    Can somebody help me?

    Have you enabled filters - Open contact then tap the 3 dots then Filter and check the settings

  • I'm having problems with facebook notifications.  The sound doesn't work but shows up in banner.  Any suggestions?  I've tried everything but restoring.  Is it a phone problem or an app problem?

    I am having a problem with facebook notifications.  The sound doesn't work but appears as a banner.  I've tried everything but restoring the phone.  Is this a phone problem or an app problem?  Has anybody experienced this problem and were they able to correct it? 

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...

    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

  • Safari 3.0.4 problems with Facebook...

    I've never had problems with Facebook, until I recently updated to Safari 3.0.4...
    Now when a friend is added, I see them in my personal news feed initially, but when I go back to my profile page later on, those people have disappeared! It's the same for looking at photo's on a friends page, sometimes it lets me, and then a moment it boots me out! Friends are disappearing and then reappearing... very annoying.
    I've tried resetting Safari, but the problems persist. Any recommendations? How do I go back to the previous version of Safari... I don't want 3.0.4 until they work the bugs out.
    Thanks in advance.

    Safari 3 has a few different security settings, for example, blocking cookies from 3rd party sites. You might want to try disabling that protection and seeing if Facebook behaves normally again, since that's a big part of how Facebook does its business. Good luck.

  • HT1871 Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
    Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
    Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
    No, which is not possible.
    What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
    Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

  • I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.

    I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
    Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
    This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
    The battery life is also shocking!!
    I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
    I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
    I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.

    but you should have a backup in itunes.
    Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
    And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
    But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app!   Good Luck!

  • Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone or iPad.

    Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

    Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

  • ICloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone

    In iCloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone contact.

    That is correct is doesn't. Standardized formatting of phone numbers in the iOS app is more important because it supports contact from a variety of locations (gmail, hotmail, etc.). iCloud doesn't (not directly).

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

  • HT1296 How can I stop and delete facebook names and phone numbers from my iphone

    How can I stop facebook names and phone numbers from being downloaded to my iphone and how can I delete the ones that are already there?

    A better way might be
    Settings > Facebook > Contacts > turn off.
    There are other Facebook settings you might want to leave on. But I also prefer to turn off Calendar there as well to keep every Facebook friends birthday from clogging up my calendar app.

  • Problems with a new IP phone 7906 after factory reset

    Hi Guys
    I am currently having problems with my new IP phone 7906 after doing factory reset and here is a video of it:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvCLtwIAwVw
    I used this command I found on the net:
    Hold down
    while plugging in the phone and keep holding it until the message waiting indicator (red light) starts blinking.  Then
    release # and type 123456789*0# in sequence.
    I was trying to switch my phone to sip and it also dont want to take tftp setup either.

    Tim,
    Found this on the net
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ts/fn/620/fn62949.html
    Might be woth giving it a go
    6.Pull power on the phone (even if power is PoE).
    7.Hold down the # key on the phone.
    8.Continue holding down the # key and re-apply power.
    9.While still holding the # key wait for the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) light on the handset to start flashing.
    10.Once the MWI light is flashing, release the # key and enter the following sequence exactly on the keypad:
    3491672850*#
    Once this sequence has been entered on the IP Phone, if all the network criteria above have been met, it should begin its recovery process. This process can take up to 15 minutes to finish. The phone may appear to be doing nothing during this time. However, if the phone does not recover after 20 minutes then it is possible that the recovery is stuck. In this case, re-examine your network and verify that steps 1-4 are in place, then re-issue the factory reset sequence.
    * Note: The factory reset sequence is a way for a phone to clear flash and still upload to a valid firmware image. This is facilitated by the termxx.default.loads file, but requires that the image files listed in the termxx.default.loads file are available in TFTP for the phone to download. Open the termxx.default.loads file in any text editor. This loads file is essentially just a packing list showing all the OS and application files the phone needs to function. The files include a cnu, cvm, dsp, app and jar files. Please make sure that these files as listed in the termxx.default.loads file are in TFTP. ("xx" will be either "06" for the CP-7906G model, or "11" for the CP-7911G model.)
    Additional Diagnostic Steps:
    - Try a hard-coded IP address as a test to see if this resolves the upgrade failures. If it does, and the number of failing IP Phones is relatively few, this procedure may be the most expedient. After the IP Phone upgrades successfully, reconfigure the IP Phone to use DHCP.
    - Try putting the phone on a hub or a different switch and see if this helps change the startup timing enough so that the upgrade completes successfully.
    Regards

  • Problem with Family Protection blocking

    I have an ongoing problem with Family Protection blocking allowed websites from my daughter.  I checked her account settings which are the same as her brother's and he has no problems.  I then removed her account and created a new one and copied the settings across from his to ensure everything was the same - still no difference.  Any suggestions?  I guess I could try reinstalling but it is such hassle to get a code etc...

    I am experiencing this issue as well. I can download about 50 of my 900 songs through family sharing the rest say unable to download. Apple call support and genous at Apple store were both unable to solve the issue. I've resorted to using the same Apple ID on all devices but obviously this is not ideal. If anyone has success solving this I would love to see a post on it. It's definitely something with the iTunes or Apple id end of things and not device or setting related because I have tried everything I can locally.
