What happened to custom labels in contacts???

Prior to loading 4.0.2, I could differentiate between the phone numbers for a given contact by selecting Custom Label and creating a label by name. In this way, multiple mobile phone numbers for a single contact - perhaps a family - could be distinguished by the name the phone number belongs to. With 4.0.2, the ability to create a custom label doesn't appear to be available. Is this functionality gone, or am I doing something wrong.

Mine is missing also, I went to the Apple store and no body could help me. all my friends still have the custom Label, but I don't.

What happened to the labels in Contacts with iOS 6?

When I choose to add a new contact in my Contacts list, the contact label options are the following: mobile, home, work, home fax, work fax, pager, assistant, car, company main, radio.
My custom labels are gone, and the option to "Add Custom Label" is not there, either.
However, when I choose to edit a current contact and try to choose a contact label, the options are as follows: mobile, iPhone, home, work, main, home fax, work fax, other fax, pager, other.
I also have my custom labels and the option to "Add Custom Label."
Has anyone else noticed this? If not, try it. You'll see what I mean.
Battery drainage with iCloud auto-syncing/backing up in the background, iPhone vibrating when choosing an alarm sound, and this...
How many more bugs does iOS 6 have?

Look for my posts.
Back up everything to iCloud. You will have to restore your device, but do NOT "Restore from Backup." You will have to "Setup as New [iDevice]" and then use iCloud to retrieve all your data.
It's a little inconvenient, but this actually fixed the Contacts labels and battery drainage problems.
There's some glitch with a direct update to iOS 6 through either Wi-Fi or iTunes. Those are the two problems that this method fixed, at least for me.
I don't know what other bugs are present in iOS 6, but those were the two that bothered me the most.

What happened to custom dates in iCal?

Custom dates never made it to iPhone and iPad but it now seems to be changed in iCal. I used to be able to select "the first Tuesday of the month...(etc.)". Now I can only put in "Every 4 weeks". Not what I want. How hard is that to make it work? It used to work.

Make sure that your custom ringtones are NOT in your Music Library. They will not transfer or work if they are.
The should only be in the RingTones Folder.

Okay...what happened to the full screen contact picture?

Okay...what happened to the full screen contact picture? Is there a way to get it back? I'd like to see the full picture of the person I'm calling-not just an ugly blank screen with little round circles on it!!!!

I wrote my feedback there. Please everyone leave your feedback. The new 7.1 design is very impractical.
Why they crave so much about these ugly circles? There are lots of unused space available on the screen.
Please bring back the big rectangular buttons!!!!!!
And full-screen contact picture when someone's calling.

What happened to custom dates in calendar?

There used to be a "custom" choice in calendar for 3rd Tuesday, etc. I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know whether it still works, or where it moved?

Can't sort custom labels in Contacts

It used to be that when you added a Custom Lable in Contacts in iOS, it would show a sorted list of the custom labels you already made for your contacts phone numbers etc. so you could see if you've already made a custom label to avoid duplication. Now in iOS7, you can add a custom label but you have to scroll down the long list of already entered custom labels that seem to appear in no particular order. It takes a long time if you already have quite a number of custom labels. It used to be easy when they were sorted to scroll down to the labels in alphabetical order. What happened to this feature?

Custom Labels are not Alphabetical.
Same problem with my os7 update, and This is a huge hassle, I re-use labels constantly as I travel for work and
I have hundreds of labels in my contacts.
This is a mess.
The only Good thing I can say is that the 'new' custom label field is finally at the Top of the list of labels.
It used to be at the bottom, meaning I had to scroll thru many many labels to add a new custom label.
So they fixed the tiny little problem and gave us a Massive new problem.
Appple, Please Fix This ASAP.

Syncing custom labels within contacts

On my iPhone, I have quite a few contacts with multiple cell phones, and I have created a lot of customer labels. I've also added notes, dates, etc. When I sync to Outlook, it only syncs the first customer label (as "other"), but none of the rest. And it doesn't sync my additional fields. At one time, I lost all my contacts on my phone, and when I resynced from Outlook, all of this info was missing.
Is there a way to get this info to sync to Outlook? Otherwise, is there another application I can use to sync all of my contact info?
Thanks.

Getting rid of custom labels in contacts

I installed the TrueCaller app, but decided it wasn't for me, so I deleted it again. Now I have a lot of custom labels for phone numbers in the contacts app. I would like to get rid of them again.

When in an individual contact entry, tap the Edit button in the upper right. Then, tap on the custom label you want to change. Select the label you prefer.
No, there's no way of doing them all at once.
You may want to try doing it through whatever program you sync your contacts to. That might be faster.
Best of luck.

No custom labels on contacts

Why there is no custom label in contacts

Its not part of the OS which is down to Windows... Hopefully they will add this option in a later.

What happened to Customer Service?

Background: Daughter has the Samsung Intensity 2 phone but no data plan. She texts constantly and continuously hits the Verizon web browser button by accident. She closes the browser as soon as she is finished with her text if not immediately.
Problem: The monthly bills roll in with HUGE data usage fees ($250 the first month) so we thought she was living on Facebook and every other website out there. Called Customer Service but gave up after 15 minutes on hold. We went to the store but they could not tell us what websites she visited. We grounded her and threatened to take the phone away if she posted to Facebook again but the next month - same thing. Slightly lower over the next 2 months. Again went to the store - still no help - "Add a data plan to solve the issue!" Finally frustrated beyond belief - called the number and waited on hold. Meanwhile, went onto the website and found where you could easily block all web access from the phone. Also found the other complaints about the layout of the buttons on the Intensity 2 (epiphany and guilt over the groundings and yelling at the daughter each time the bill arrived.) WOW - that would have been nice to know $500 ago! Also foudn the link to the FCC announcement about the 2012 settlement for mystery data usage charges that were suppsed to be fixed. Really ****** now, I was determined to wait until I got a real person (only 5 more minutes this time.) I explained the multiple visits to the store trying to get to the bottom of the usage issue with no help and the complete lack of documentation available to the person being billed for MB of data anywhere. Nothing that says what sites where visited to create the fee or even how long the connection to the internet lasted. The Customer Service rep explained that I could access all these really cool tools online to manage the account settings (thanks found that already) but could not do anything about the bill so I asked and she put me on hold (for another 10 minutes) to talk to her Supervisor. The Customer Service Supervisor was aware of the Data Charge Task force that was ordered to be created in 2010 but it "really doesn't apply in this instance" since she "obviously" has used a lot of data and we should pay for it. I asked him if he could tell what websites she visited or for how long to justify the fees - "No but we can tell it is her phone". No kidding, really? I am now waiting for his Supervisor to call me back in the next 72 hours. I can hardly wait. meanwhile, I have put all that on hold time to use by submitting a complaint with the FCC. It's really easy to do - www.fcc.gov/consumers. You can find the settlement announcement there too.
The Solution: Find another wireless provider or hope to goodness you never have an issue because you will have to find the solution yourself and will have to pay through the nose until you do. Also may want to bookmark the fcc complaint site since you will be using it often.

Hi,
Before you begin, do you have any idea what your account password is?
I'm not asking you to tell me. I'm just pointing out that getting where you
want to go on the phone is much easier if you know your password.
You can always call Verizon and talk to a human. Granted, their website
doesn't make them easy to find, but here are the telephone numbers:
*611 from your cell, or 800.922.0204. (I highly recommend that you put these
numbers in your contacts for future reference.)
When the first menu system comes up, you want option 4, which is "Other".
The next step is an automated voice which asks you to "say" what your
question or problem is. What you want to say is, "OPERATOR."
Next it will ask for your password. If you don't know your password, just
don't enter ANYTHING.
The next thing that happens is a human being will actually answer. You can
explain your problem to them.
If you have any problems because you don't know your password, go directly
to your nearest Verizon store. I highly recommend you go on a weekday before
3 pm if you can, as that will narrow down the number of other customers.
I hope this helps.

Printing custom labels from contacts

How do you print labels with a different header than just the persons name? I would like to address holiday labels to read:
"The Smith Family"
123 Cherry St.
Denver, CO 80210
Rather than the contact name only:
"Jane Smith"
123 Cherry St.
Denver, CO 80210
Can I create a field that allows me to put it as the address header rather than having to use the contacts first and last name only?

Hi gordonprop,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you want to change the name field on a label. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
Address Book: Printing mailing labels or envelopes with multiple names - Apple Support
you can modify the First name field of the card
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Mario

What happened to Customer Service and Loyalty!!

I had been a VZW customer for about 7years and i have always had a good relationship with them until 12/26/13.(guess cuz i never needed help with anything) long story short, I dropped my phone and needed a replacement.. i had insurance but was due for an upgrade in early feb.. so i went into the store to see if it was possible to upgrade now that way i wouldn't have to pay the 100 dollars for the insurance claim on a phone i no longer wanted, just to turn around a pay another 300 to upgrade in another month and a half.. the sales person who happened to be the manager at the store (arroyo crossings las vegas) totally blew me off and was not interested in helping me or keeping me as a customer even after i explained my situation..Left the store and went straight to sign up with AT&T .. i guess im just a customer that pays her bill on time and has been loyal to a company who could care less about being loyal..

I am bitterly disappointed in Verizon......they did use to be a decent company....sort of. now they are greedy and arrogant. no customer loyalty and bending over backwards to keep customers, much less to keep customers happy. I moved to a new home recently, and who knew you should check out your (removed) cellphone's signal in addition to checking that all drains and electrical switches in the house work? so in this new place, I have NO signal inside the house and very little outside the house. it's not my fault Verizon's towers don't friggin' work here...and again, who knew? so they want $175 plus 75 before a "discount" for a "coverage extender," and I can't pay that. great. they are willing to let me out of my contract for free. is a stupid Catch-22 for both of us. not only that, but I have other family members on this plan. so the (removed) with Verizon.... I'll check into CREDO who operate under Sprint. yech.....this is sickening....

What happened to individual ringtones for contacts?

Lost mine in one of the recent upgrades. Is there a way to get them back?

My phone continiously loses the ringtones that I set for some of my contacts. It goes to default ringtone from these in the phone. I change it back to my ringtone melody for this contact, but it does not save it. Please propose some solutions, because it is really annoying. Thank you
