I can't get my keyboard to come up when adding or editing contacts on my iPhone 4S

This is driving me nuts! I can't add or edit any contacts. My keyboard does not come up no matter what I try, so I can't type in names or numbers, nothing. Any ideas?? Hopefully my phone isn't toast :(

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.6

Hi there samitchell330,


You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

By the way, Apple: if you are monitoring these threads. This seems to be a widespread problem. It's a bit pathetic that 1) it remains a problem (has no one entered this in Radar?); 2) that people have to get help from other users because there does not seem to be an official tech update instruction in the knowledge base.
