Broken screen and contact list

Hi,
I dropped my Iphone yesterday and the screen is totally busted, my Cellphone company provider"Orange" informed me that I have to purchase another phone, I had this iphone for only a month, can anyone help? Besides that, i need to tranfer my contacts to my sim card, can this be done?

The warranty doesn't cover things like dropping your phone and breaking it. You could try calling your credit card company and see if they offer coverage for breaking the phone.

N8 contact list freeze

Every now and then my Nokia N8 contact list freezes when I try to select a contact fom the list, when starting a call or by accessing the contact list directly. A reboot, factory reset nor firmware reinstalling doesn't solve the problem, it only works temporarily. When the list freezes I am able to swipe through it up and down, though selecting contacts is not possible. I do see a cursor blinking in the lower half of the screen, at the position where the search window normally is. The search window itself is vanished.
Does anyone happen to know how i can really fix the problem permanent?

I used to experience the same problem on the N8, though the freeze isn't only limited to accessing the contact list but happens randomly when swiping through home screens, opening a folder etc. I managed to resolve this problem though I have forgotten what exactly it is. If I'm not mistaken it is due to an installed (bad) application that is causing the freeze. In my case it's the Whatsapp application. The freezing problem seemed to have disappeared after I removed the application from the phone and reintall it back again.

IOS 4.2 causing contacts list to freeze

Hi. My contacts list has really started giving me problems since I installed iOS 4.2. Sometimes the list will freeze completely for a few minutes and then suddenly start working. Other times, scrolling through contacts will become extremely choppy. At times, when I search for a contact, the results will start flickering on the screen. There is nothing that leads to this behavior. The phone simply starts behaving strangely and then returns to normal itself. Is anyone else experiencing this extremely annoying problem and can you suggest any solutions.

Having similar problems. My phone started freezing on contacts or calls, phone running hot, battery running out quickly. The problem repeated if I did a restore. I eventually had to do a reinitialize and rebuild everything by hand, which seems to have made it work for a few weeks at least.
Now the issue has shown up on my iPad. There I've tried deleting all contacts (had to do this by telling iTunes to remove them all). But there are still hangs and the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" tab in settings hangs. I don't want to reinitialize it because I have several movies on it that I'm planning on watching tomorrow on a long, long flight. If the iPad works.

My iPhone 4S battery drain quickly since the new update. It also freezes when I go to my contact list

Also when I go to my contact list the phone freezes in that screen and I have go out and come back in pulled up the name, then go back out to pull up the number. How can I fix this. I turned off most of the apps running in the back ground but it not helping.

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail" screen with icloud, Microsoft exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol & Windows Live Hotmail listed beneath. How do I make it call the number instead?

Never heard of that. I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

In Firefox 4, how do I change the order of plugins on the Add-ons Plugins manager page (I turn Shockwave Flash on only to see videos - having it off prevents screen freezing - and so I want it stay at the top of the list)?

Hit Ctrl+0 (That's a zero, by the way). I'm not sure if it will work, but hey, that's the first thing I would try.

That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

How do I get rid of a contact list that is on my FaceTime screen?

At last, the BEST solution!
In addition to my last post, here is the solution for fixing this problem without syncing your contacts with icloud.
It takes about 2 minutes and permanently solves the problem so you can start adding and editing your contacts again on IOS 5.1.1!
Basically you just need to follow these steps from the Settings page:
Enable Airplane Mode
Go to iCloud settings
Turn on Contacts
Agree to 'Merge Contact'
Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are on
Turn off Contacts
Confirm that you want to Keep your Contact on the iPhone
Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are off
Disable Airplane Mode
Airplane Mode temporarily blocks all phone signal/data to stop your contacts merging with icloud.
Thanks to Washyman and Drewie77 for that info above! I got it from this post and it worked fine.

My contact list is "stuck" on my FaceTime screen blocking half the image. Thoughts?

This happened when I went to my contacts list to initiate a facetime call and at the same moment a facetime call from another party came in and I answered it. Now I can't get rid of the contacts list from half of the video screen on facetime. Any thoughts on how to make it disappear without losing all my contacts? Thanks.

PS: Making a face time call from this contacts list makes it disappear only for the duration of the call. When I hang up, it reappears.

Lost all contacts. i looked at my contact list to find a number and the screen went back to the main screen page and wen i went back into my contact list all my numbers are gone?? please help

i looked for a phone number in my contact list and the screen went back to the main screen sort of kicked me out of my contact list, then when i went back into contacts all my contacts are gone! help

Try restarting your iPhone first. If that fails, reset iPhone by pressing the Home & Sleep/Wake vuttons together for 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
Cheers!

Contact list is not appearing in SMS screen

Dear All, i am facing two issues : 1) from the contact list, if i select any contact then i can either Call him, Email to him or write on his/ her facebook wall. why SMS option is not avaliable here. 2)from the SMS scree, i am not getting whole list of contacts here. what i am doing right now, i am writing down the contact number from the call list and then manully putting the number in SMS screen

Check that in contacts the numbers are listed as "mobile". If they are called anything else such as " work" "home" or "home 2", they will not appear in the SMS list nor be available in contacts to send an SMS even if the numbers are mobile numbers. If you have allocated any description other than"mobile" you will have to edit them.
The system won't allow a contact to have 2 "mobile" numbers even if in reality the contact does have 2.

IPad3 screen freezing & apps not working: Settings, Reminders & Calendar

Updated my ipad3 to ios 6 this weekend. Experiencing several issues with the screen freezing in Settings, Reminders & Calendar.
Tried to reboot, backup and restore with iTunes, but no changes. The Calendar and Reminders are still not working.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
A few notes:
Not able to access the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" in "Settings". Does not go to the screen. Freezes the "Settings" screen. Forced quit the Settings app.
Not able to make changes in the "iCloud" in Settings. The circle spins endlessly with no results.
Calendar is blank (only showing a blank opened book).
Reminders is blank.
I use iCloud to sync my calendars between a laptop, ipod touch, desktop, and ipad.

Hi Don,
(I have those options turned on in Sharing on both computers.)
Turn off Printer Sharing on the Book & reboot, it won't look past itself for a printer in 10.4.x if that is enabled. But it seems there are more problems than just that.
Thanks for the tip, I turned it off on the PB, but yeah, more problems
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
74.4 capacity, 29.76 available, 44.64 used. I have done a Diskwarrior rebuild so hopefully it is at least arranged well. Still running 10.4.0 on it because I didn't update it after doing the 2nd Archive and Install
My backup FW is also an 80 gig and shows:
74.4 capacity, 36.24 available, 38.16 used. Running 10.4.11 on it. I think the main HD might have less available because I have now tried two Archive and Installs? Previous System 1 showed about 5.86 gigs of use and Previous System 2 just showed "calculating".
Boot off your original Install Disk , then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.
I had the disk and ran the extended AHT, and it all passed.
Here's something I have noticed, when I boot from either the PB main drive or the FW, and open Activity Monitor, the CPU shows major usage for a long time, often pegging the CPU usage meter. In the Process Window, there is something called "mdimporter" that seems to be eating a lot of processor. After 10-15 minutes (approx), the CPU settles down to just showing light usage. I don't recall ever seeing the CPU usage pegging like that upon a fresh startup, I often keep the little floating CPU window on the desktop and it never used to run like that.
Here's the list and downloads for AHT for some G4 models if you don't find yours, some G4s only have it on the Original Install Disc...
