Corrupt entry in iPhone's Contacts can cause issues
Authored by: wscody on Sep 18, '08 11:38:16AM

I have not found any utility, either on the Mac or the iPhone, that can detect a corrupt record.

Also, in the process of troubleshooting, I exported a vCard of the corrupt record on my Mac, and then deleted the entry in Address Book. I then re-imported the vCard, re-synced the record with the iPhone and the corruption remained. I had to completely reconstruct the record and re-sync.

This would imply that the record is corrupted on both the Mac and the iPhone.

Another item: this problem manifests itself regardless of whether you use MobileMe or wire-syncing for your Contact database.
