iPhone contacts missing - no names, only numbers

There are reports of iPhone contacts suddenly missing -- showing only numbers, no names (except for Facebook contacts).


Anyone have a fix?

Bossodg,

I have tried everything. I have toggled the contacts button, restored backups, etc. and STILL nothing has changed. Just like the others, my favorites tab shows the phone numbers but no names for half of my favorite contacts. The weird thing is that let's say the name, John Smith, is missing from my favorites tab but his phone number is there. His name won't show up if I search for it under the contacts tab but if I create a new text message then his name and number will show up there! I'm in desperate need of HELP! I have heard rumors of rogue apps that destroy information and you cannot get it back. Do you know anything about the validity behind that and do you have any other possible solutions for me?
