1) Are you sure the email address is in the home phone field? The iPhone contact fields are confusing initially. However, iPhone contact manager is intelligent enough to know the difference between phone numbers and email addresses, and when the transfer is automatic through iTunes, this is not an error that is made.

When you open the edit screen for any contact, iPhone shows a label button with a title followed by an edit field. Unlike Outlook, where you need to sort the home, work, etc. information in to the properly labelled fields, iPhone contacts has you change the label of the field. So, if you double-tap on the phone number type button, a screen pops up with several choices of field labels such as iPhone, mobile, home, work, and so forth. After you select the correct label and fill information in to the appropriate edit field following the label, another field of the same type automatically appears. This way, you can have multiple fields of the same type, such as phone numbers for different headings such as home and work, but many extra blank fields are not generated unless you actually require them. As for your email addresses, you can change the type of address from home to work, other, and so forth, by double-tapping on the home button next to the email address field.

2) Voice-Over is not actually shutting off. IPhone has a built-in proximity sensor near the earpiece speaker. When you are on a call and using the iPhone rather than a headset, the proximity sensor engages to deactivate the touch-screen whilst the iPhone is next to your ear. To activate the touch-display, simply take the iPhone away from your face. When VO is active, the iPhone switches to speakerphone when the screen becomes active. Using a headset deactivates the proximity sensor so the screen is always active.

3) I cannot find any unlabelled buttons in any of the tabs of the phone app. I am running an iPhone 5 with the latest firmware also.
