Cannot Answer Calls from Lock Screen

I have all alerts and notifications enabled on the latest Skype for iOS app.  I have deleted and reinstalled Skype. I have rebooted and restored my iPhone.
My problem is that even when I have the skype app running and my phone is in a locked state, when I go to unlock the phone to answer an incoming call Skype simply declines the call.  I can find no combination or successful means to answer skype on my mobile if my phone is in a locked state.
How do I resolve this?

Same problem with i5 phone. The phone does not have a password but the call automatically drops when I slide to unlock to answer.

  • Option to disable the "slide to call" feature for missed calls from lock screen

    I realized that when the iphone (running iOS5) is locked, the“Slide to Call” allows anyone to make an outgoing call to the missed calls from a locked phone (with passcode). This may allow malicious and unwanted calls to be made from a locked phone by anyone having access to the phone and defeats the purpose of having the phone locked by a passcode.
    Don't get me wrong, it is nice feature for people who don't care about locking their phone, but I believe there should be an option to disable the “slide to call” or at least require password before allowing the outgoing call to go through. 
    At this point the only option that I see is to disable the phone related notifications from lock screen, which prevents all phone related notifications to be displayed on lock screen (missed or voicemail). This is not a desired solution.....
    This is the first time in the history of iOSes, that a user can make outgoing calls from a locked phone with a passcode. Even the voice commands (for dialling a number) have option to be disabled on locked screen.
    I was wondering if anybody else feels the same way about this? or have a solution?

    I share the same feeling with you about this issue.
    Actually I was very surprised when I discovered that!
    In addition to this, when you actually slide a missed call, it calls the person and when you end the call, the notification of the missed call is still present! So that person can be called again and again and again.
    This is a serious issue that Apple has overlooked!
    Please secure the iOS 5.
    Thanks.

  • Decline calls from lock screen

    Big problem for me when i decline call with power button no missed call in lock screen to swipe to call .... i have to go to phone swipe up and see the call,,,!!!!!Kindly advice for the same .. Because while driving it very pain to call back... The same no...

    The decline button no longer exists on the lock screen. You may give feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. If you want to have the number stay on the lock screen, just ignore the call.

  • Can't reject a call from lock screen with pin password

    When I set a PIN code for my iPhone with iOS7 "7.0.2" and recieve a call, I don't get an option to reject that call directly!
    The only valid options on the lock screen is either to set a reminder to call back the caller or reject with message. Is there any hidden feature behind this? or Apple really intended that?
    Attached 2 screen shots for a caller
    While screen is locked with PIN password
    While screen is unlocked

    It has been this way for some time. This is how you would decline a call from the lock screen, and then declining a call from the open screen is how you have it showing.

    This is a serious security issue.it should be user configurable.
    Hope Apple will take it seriously and release a update for the same.

  • Cannot answer calls using touch-screen

    I am using G900, it is a touch-screen phone, I am unable to answer calls using the touch-screen option.
    1) Is there any update required for the software for the same to work.
    2) Can I change the settings in the mobile to answer calls using some key on the keypad.
    Thanks

    One question, does the touchscreen works on everything else?

  • 5800 - V40 - Cannot answer call using touch screen

    Hi,
    Just upgraded to V40 on my 5800. Now when the phone rings I get 2 options on the touch screen:
    1. Answer
    2. Unlock
    Neither work. I know I can use the buttons, but why have the other options on the screen if they don't work. What about the other options like silence or reject, or send message. All gone.
    The new version is **bleep**.
    Also, when I set an alarm, I can't silence it, or stop it using the touch screen.
    This all seems to happen when the phone is locked, but if the phone is unlocked, I get the older options.
    I don't know how I'm expected to unlock my phone just before someone rings me to enable me to have all the existing options, or wake up before my alarm in order to unlock the phone, so I can snooze or stop it.
    Can something be done, or can I revert back to V31??
    Thanks,
    DOS.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    they aren't buttons , they are ARROWS. don't tap to answer or silence the alarm , just swipe your finger in the same direction of movements to answer or snooze or .... etc

  • End a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?

    Is there a way to end a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?
    I frequently call into meetings from my iPhone and then lock the screen, I don't like having to unlock my phone just to go off mute or end the call..

    iPhones should not lock at all during any length call unless you're using a headset - wired or Bluetooth. In that case,  you should use the mute and end call controls on the headset.
    The only exception to this are phones that were configured by corporate security settings that force the phone to lock after a specified interval regardless if there is a call in progress.  In that case, you only option it to get your IT dept. to reconfigure this setting.

  • Difficulty answering iPhone 5 with iOS 7 from lock screen

    With iOS 7, when I try to answer the phone from lock screen, the slide to answer green bar is less responsive than answering phone in previous versions of iOS and it also takes awhile for other party to hear you. Several persons tell me the same. Using an iPhone 5. Can anyone help me out on this? Is it a generalized problem that Apple should address?

    No, we have to wait till Apple fixes this problem.
    For the Slide to reply bar: Turn on "Reply with message" in your passcode settings you that you will have a button to answer a call instead of a slider. (Will also enable Messaging from the lock screen)

  • HT5858 Bug with control centre? - only accessible from lock screen

    I cannot access Control Center from my home screens or within apps, only from the Lock Screen - very annoying if I want to switch my music output for example or use the torch.
    My settings are on for both access from Lock Screen and Access from within Apps.
    Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong?

    Hello Adrian Biffen,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can't access Control Center from inside apps. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Use Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you're using an app that uses similar swipe gestures, like Maps or games, you might have to swipe up twice: once to reveal the handle for Control Center, and a second time to reveal Control Center. 
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • There is no option to reject an incoming call in locked screen, there must be an icon on the screen for one who don't want to use lock button several times, i did'nt face this problem in last ios 6.1.3.

    A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
    By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

  • Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

    Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

    Thanks. I don't know if it seems obvious to everyone, but it shouldn't be needed to double click to seet it. If anyone finds out why there isn't a week view in the Calendar native app, or a way to make it avaiable I would be thankfull. If not, I will continue using third party app for that purpose.

  • I upgraded Firefox (Wndows). I cannot make calls from Gmail anymore and I cannot opt out of all ads!

    I tried to reset all my preferences to the prior version. Nothing works. I cannot not copy/paste from the mouse anymore.
    I cannot eliminate ads (I used to). I cannot make calls from Gmail like before this version?
    I am very frustrated.

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    and what it does. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
    '''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
    Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
    know what it is, use a web search.
