Increasingly more users reported that their brand new iPhone 4S failed to recognize contacts. According to Paul Hontz from The Startup Foundry this issue could be happening because of a contact bug on iOS 5.0.1 for all iPhone 4S users.
It seems that the bugs with the just released iOS 5 and its update iOS 5.0.1 are more than we would have expected. First it was the battery drain problems and now the contact bug issue for iPhone 4S on iOS 5.0.1. What should we expect next?
Contact bug issue for iPhone 4S on iOS 5.0.1 works like this: when you receive a text message the iPhone doesn’t show the contact’s name even though it appears in your contact’s list. More than that when you receive another text from the same contact, the iPhone begins a new thread. Leave us a comment if you’ve experiencing the same problems,
or if you’ve found other bugs in iOS 5 / 5.0.1.Take notice that this contact bug happens only to those on the Verizon network that own an iPhone 4S running on iOS 5.0.1.
If you have encountered any of the issues above follow the simple step by step instructions below and this should help your problem:
Step 1: Dial *228 (Verizon Support Number)
Step 2: Tap 1 in order to “Program or Activate”
Step 3: After the call ends, hit your Home Button twice to open the task manager
Step 4: Close the following apps: Message, Phone and Contacts
Step 5: Wait 5 minutes and check your Message app. Your iPhone should work properly now.
If it still doesn’t work try Step 2 again, but this time press tap “2? on your iPhone, some users reported to have better results. If it still doesn’t work just try a restore from a previous backup. Hopefully the next iOS update will also bring a fix for all this issues.
