Cannot take recent calls after upgrading to iOS 9

I've upgraded to iOS 9 last week and I found that my call functions are not working properly.

*Call history is not displaying

* Not Displaying missed calls

*Dial Pad is not active

*Cannot access favorites.

Basically I cannot access Call function window.( I don't know the correct term for that. Sorry ) If i need to get a call, i need to search it form the phone book and find the number. If it's a number i didn't save, i cannot take it.

After restarting, i can access it once. after that, it will appear blank and inactive.

PS. i've restore the phone twice and check. but it's same.

iPhone 4S, iOS 9

I restore to 8.4.1 version and now i'm ok. You may do as well till the developers find a solution.

Today i have received a message to upgrade in to 9.0.1. But i didn't upgrade to it yet. May be this version has solved our issue.

Upgrade to 9.01 has solved my issue! Pretty sure it will solve yours. It only takes 25mb and about 10 mins to install it.

Good luck!

I've seen somewhere that apple wont go back two OS's. Is that true? That's what keeping me without upgrading to new one. 😟

I wouldn't know but I do recommend the new update. It solved my issue instantly and you seem to experience the same challenge.

I Have the same problems with my iPhone 6 I got last year (September 23,2014). I've upgraded to the newest software and it's still not resolved. I so disappointed in the fact that Apple doesn't have a fix yet... Guess they are so interested in selling the ipho 6s. Called apple tech suppoDt and was advised to swap the device for $450... Guess it's time to start looking at the Samsung Galaxy S6. looks much better anyways. Hopefully someone from Apple would reply to this.

my problem was solved after upgrading. but it appears time to time. But it's not nasty as before. I think it's a memory problem. after i've closed recently used apps by the memory, and stand by and re enter, the problem seems vanished. (may be i'm wrong about the memory. but that's what i figured with spending some time with the phone. )

i don't think the Samsung is the solution. I'll go to HTC instead of that. But i suggest to roll back to the previously ok IOS version and wait a little. They will definitely issue a never version with cure for 6. I'm just using a 4S. 8.4.1 version is ok for mine till 9.0.1 comes. as i stated, it's apparently didn't ware off permanently. just wait fingers crossed. I don't think once an apple user can move on to another brand. specially to the Samsung. 🙂 cheers.

my problem is solved for now. To be honest I have no idea how. I restored to various previous backups but the problem still remained. On the iPhone 6 I don't think you have the option to go back to a previous iOS once you have already moved to iOS 9, or at least I don't know how to do it. Each time I restored to an old backup, I would only have old data but still iOS 9.0.1. The problem of recent calls hanging was there each time I restored. So I finally gave up and restored to my newest backup (made after the recent calls problem started) as older backups were anyways not helping. And I was pleasantly surprised to see the problem had gone. I don't know if it will reappear, will wait and watch. But this was seriously the most frustrating thing that has ever happened to me with an apple product. For the first time the thought of moving away from apple occurred to me. The mess up with "slide to upgrade" and recent calls / dialpad hanging is unforgivable. I was on a business trip when all this happened, and have never been inconvenienced more.

Getting same issue with iphone 5s ios 9.0.1. anything related to phone functioins is frozen, contacts, dial pad, recent calls etc. Even the phone settings are non responsive. if i recive a call I can still take the call but I am unable to access the functions to make a call. The problem persists even after doing a 'Restore iphone' from itunes. Upgrade to 9.0.1 seems to have been the cause for me so no way to solve it through an upgrade until 9.0.2

I seemed to have solved the issue by removing the following apps: Whatsapp, Gmail, Facebook Messenger and Skype. I've only reinstalled Whatsapp for now and it seems to be working like a charm now. hope this helps
