Reminders no longer knows about "home" and "work" locations

[jmpage2]

I'm hoping someone can offer some insight. I've been using the Reminders feature on my iPhone 4 since iOS 5 came out. Up until a week or so ago I could set a location for reminders and get a choice of "home" and "work".

I was setting a reminder a week or so ago and a notification popped up and I didn't pay much attention to it, it had something to do with locations.

Now, I can't set "home" and "work", it's like the phone doesn't know what they are. Where do they get set? The only thing I have done recently is installed iCloud on my office PC and told it to sync my contacts with the cloud (and my iPhone is already synced with that Exchange account)... but even after uninstalling iCloud it's still not giving me the "home" and "work" choice... instead I get a choice of ALL of the contacts on my phone, and get to use one of their addresses. I know location services are working because if I set the reminder in this fashion (using a contacts address) the reminders still work.

Can anyone help with troubleshooting this? I'm tempted to simply turn the exchange integration off on my iphone completely in order to troubleshoot this but perhaps there is an easier fix.

First, go to Settings -> General -> Siri -> My Info and make sure that you have a contact record for yourself selected.
Second, go to that contact entry and make sure you have addresses labled "home" and "work."

I don't have settings for SIRI because I have an iPhone 4.

Ah, sorry. Try:
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> My Info.
It's near the bottom of the settings page, just about "Import SIM Contacts"

You are a rock star man! Thanks so much. The setting must have gotten modified when I connected my PC to iCloud (most of my data is from Exchange or from my Mac).

I poked around for an hour and never caught this, thanks again!!

You're welcome! Happy reminder-ing.

Reminders and Date vs List View

Awesome! Glad to find this one out!

Does location based reminders suck battery power? I would think so since it would have to track your location at all times.
