IPhone :: Phone Number Auto-Formatting Does Not Work In IOS 5.1.1
Jun 5, 2012
While typing a phone number in Contacts of iOS 5.1, the number will be auto-formatted in form like "+x (xx) xxx-xx-xxx". But after upgraded to iOS 5.1.1 I found this feature doesn't work. The phone number will only be formatted after I save the changes. Is there anyway I can change it back, or is this just a "new feature" of iOS 5.1.1?
Is there a way to stop iPhone from creating parentheses, spaces and dashes in phone numbers? I want to create all phone numbers as just a string of numbers with no formatting for each country, just a plus sign (for international calling prefix) at the beginning. It seems that editing out the punctuation in Address Book or or the iPhone has no effect. I've tried reformatting numbers manually in Address Book in my MBP but then, after I sync again, in iPhone they've automatically acquired punctuation and formatting again. I then setup formatting in Address Book prefs to a 'Custom' setting - a plain simple string of numbers with a + sign in front. But it seems to have no effect once the numbers are in the iPhone. I've tried editing those numbers in iPhone. I delete, say, a dash or a space and it automatically adds the dash or space again when I've finished and press "Done" to save it. I've even tried deleting and re-creating (in Address Book) some of the problem contacts as new contacts, hoping my custom-formatting setting in Address Book prefs would stick, but it still turns into formatted numbers in the iPhone. I tried turning off International Assist in iPhone settings but to no avail.

Have just bought a 16G sd card for my E52. I have read somewhere the card wont work unless its formatted by the phone, as it is not being recognized at the moment. I can't find instructions anywhere on how to format the card.Anyone?
Just got my GS6 about 2 weeks ago and then had my work email/outlook added to it. Now all of my texts are being auto-forwarded to my work email, which I do not want! How do I stop this from happening? I saw a similar thread about SGS2's, but I think the locations of settings must have changed a bit because those directions were not completely compatible. I want to make sure I can still view my work email on my phone; just don't want my personal texts going into my work's email/network.

After transferring a number from a previous carrier to a new carrier, I can no longer receive iMessages from my telephone number. People can only iMessage me if they know my Apple ID. I've tried restoring the phone, but I'm always faced with 'error' in the iMessage settings window.
I have only one cell number that will show up in my text messaging with just the number not the name. I have deleted it and reentered it. It has a + in front of the number.
When I bought my first iPhone (4) I never knew the auto brightness actually works straight away when you walk from a bright area to a darker one, or vice versa. I had an issue with the home button and later my Phone provider swapped a new one for me. This replacement iPhone 4's auto Brightness actually dimmed in lower light areas noticably and in real time. It was really handy and the way it should work.
I recently upgraded to iPhone 4S, and noticed that the auto brightness doesnt change. I checked with my wife's iPhone 4S too and its the same problem. So, I want to know, does it actually change like the miraculous replacement iPhone 4 I received or is auto brightness a "meh" function that I shouldn't expect it to change. The reason I am asking is because I find in darker rooms, the iPhone is way too bright and I have to keep changing the brightness manually.
Everytime I do this I always see the Auto Brightness funtion on and its starting to bug me that it doesn't work like my old iPhone 4 did. Can someone explain if Auto brightness actually work?
On my iPhone 4s i have turned the auto brightness feature on but it does not seem to work so i wanted to know how to make it work. when i have my brightness on 100% it does not work and then i tried puting it on 50% but it still does not change automatically like it should.
I am new to this whole Blackberry thing, so please... take it easy on me.Anyway, whenever I add a new contact from a phone call or whatever it, by default, goes under as their "Work" number. Even when I transferred numbers from my Envy to my Blackberry a lot of the contacts went under "Work" rather than "Mobil".How can I change it so that by default it comes up under mobile (since that's the majority of numbers I add to my contacts)?Also, is there a way to easily switch the classification of a number? Lately I've been just going into the contact and retyping it, but doing that for all of my contacts will be a pain.
The auto login function to my tmobile Hotspot has worked for over 1 year without any problem on my iPhone 4. After migration to ios 5 / ios 5.1 the function doesn't work any more and i have to login manually, each time.
I use the same iPhone, telekom phone number, telekom login account id, telekom account password. The manual login works without problem. Nothing else has changed, but the ios upgrade. So it seams to be a bug in the ios upgrade.
My dad has a Nokia 5800 and gets text messages usually with numbers in, but they aren't phone numbers but Symbian just thinks they are so the are red underlined and clickable (so you can easily dial that number).Now my question is: how do you disable this? The numbers are a bit harder to read when they are red underlined and the click feature is totally useless in this situation.I recall seeing this option on my E71 but I don't remember where.
When I enter the mobile number the auto dash ( - ) come automatically after 4 digits Even when I tried to update number in the contact
why I don't want it , because when I make a backup , the numbers will be with dash ( E.g. 1111-1111-1111 ) and this format I can't restore it in another website or software
I just realize my camera won't autofocus, it's only focused on the objects that is quiet far it doesn't work with the nearest objects. Any idea what's going on with it? is it because of some photography apps? cuz i have lots of photography apps.

How can the N8 be made to auto-redial when a called number is busy? I have searched but cannot find a setting - is this another firmware error/bug to add to teh hundreds already found?
Got a bold 9900 with software version 7.1.0 bundle 1149 and my carrier is vodacom South Africa. My phone will auto answer private numbers without ringing at the exact moment the call come in. Went through the settings and there is nothing wrong. Auto answer is deactivated in call options.
I sync contacts with a corporate Exchange / Outlook account. I can manage contacts on the phone or PC. Any contact who has say a business, home or mobile number and a fax number specified, if I go to the dialer, start typing their name, it does show the contact and a number (no indication of type such as fax or cell) so I tap that choice. Sadly, no, I can't just tell from looking at the number if it is fax or not. The phone dials the fax # which of course is incredibly annoying to my ear and that this dumb phone doesn't know not to try a fax number as the first choice for any contact who has a fax number.
I know I can set the default number per contact but I have hundreds of contacts and to go through each one to see if they have a fax and change it would really suck. Is there seriously no way to tell the phone not to use fax as first choice by default?
i have never pre-ordered a phone before, how dose this work? when june 17th pre-ordering starts do i sign up for the AT&T service at the same time? or do i wait till i get the phone delivered? i want to port my phone number from Verizon and am not sure how this pre-ordering will work regarding getting service.
Ive downloaded an iblacklist app, and it doesnt work, Ive had a refund. I really desperately need to block a number, and I dont want to have to change my own mobile number.
I can't seem to access Wikipedia properly on my iPhone 4. It currently goes to the mobile version of the site [URL] but the formatting is not right (tables are all spread out, the screen can be moved to either side). Also - most annoyingly - when I tap the top bar (where the clock is) on safari it doesn't scroll to the top of the page like it does everywhere else.
I was using my iPhone4S on iOS 5.1.1 and sycing with my Windows Seven PC. I recently formatted my PC and had to reinstall iTunes and now I want to download apps to my PC and transfer them to my phone, I figured that I cannot do that as I have to click the 'Sync Apps' on my iTunes to do this. I transferred all the apps on my phone to my PC and when I tick the 'Sync Apps' checkbox it says that all the apps and data associated with them will be replaced.
How can I transfer the apps from iTunes to my iPhone ? I have enabled iCloud backup. If I sync apps like this will I LOSE my app data ? I don't want to lose the save files of my games.
when your iphone crashes how do you retrieve all your info that was on phone email address & contact number work sites ect to be able to transfere in on to another phone since the sim card doesnt work like on other phone as I have just found out
In order to submit iPhone 5 for replacement of the faulty home button power I need the serial number and i cannot power on the phone to locate the number. What to do?
