IPhone Voice Memos Interrupted By Incoming Calls

I notice that every time I use my Voice Memos software on the 3G(s), if an call comes in, the Voice Memo stops recording and I won't know it till I look at the phone later. Is there ANY way to stop that for that not to happen and you can have perhaps the calls go directly into voice mail so that the Voice Memo feature doesn't get interrupted? It's useless to me otherwise.
Thanks for anyone's input!

The voice recorder application - just like every other iPhone application, native or 3rd party - will shut down when you receive a phone call. The iPhone operates under the assumption that the device is first and foremost a telephone.
As far as work arounds go, you can always put the phone in airplane mode when you need to use the voice recorder app uninterrupted. This will send all incoming calls directly to voicemail.

  • My iphone 4S has problem in making and receiving the calls. While making the call , call fails and netwrok disappears. Like wise no voice is heard for incoming calls. This happened after return from the overseas travel.

    Hi there,
    I've just installed ios 7.0.6 on my iphone 4 and now lost voice on outgoing and incoming calls.It rings on incoming and I'm told rings on the recipient's 'phone, but then no vocal communication...its just dead. My simm is ok, i've checked it, I've done a full clean and restore of the 'phone. Still no calls.
    I've not caused any physical or water damage to the 'phone. I would welcome any help/suggestions to get my calls back asap.
    Please help.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

  • Syning iphone voice memos to itunes

    I am having trouble syncing iphone voice memos to itunes. I am selling my iphone and need to ship it off, but I really want the vocie memos. I went to the music tab and checked include voice memos. I have backed up and synced my phone after,and I cannot get the voice memos playlist to appear on itunes. I have emailed some to myself, but some are too large. Please help

    Yes, you can! You need an app on your Mac called Phone View. Download it, check the "show all files" option(or words to that effect) in prefs, and look under voice memos. Be careful not to delete any iphone system files, but if you follow the instructions you will easily see a section for voice memos. Drag the relevant .mov (this seems to contain the sound data) onto the desktop and then into itunes.
    Quick, wireless, and no sync required. I did this for one voice memo of a conference that got stuck on the phone, i.e., it wouldn't sync in itunes, and it also wouldn't play from with the voice memo app on my phone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Iphone Voice Memo Sync Solved?

    Recently got an Iphone 3GS. Couldn't get the iphone voice memos to sync to Itunes, except once by trimming the memo and that seemed a fluke.  I didn't want to go through the steps of consolidating my itunes library which has worked for some, as I didn't want all that duplication going on. I found that once the Iphone is connected, there is ANOTHER box that needs to be checked that Apple has not mentioned as far as I know: The name of your iPhone in the Artists box.
    1. Connect Iphone to computer. Note that I do not automatically sync my Itunes or iphone but manual only; others may differ.
    2. At the top of the Summary page, select the Music tab which opens the music page, at the top of which is a box that you check called Sync Music. (That 'sync music' is just a setting, not the 'sync' button at the bottom that actually syncs.)
    I make sure that under that the 'selected playlists artists albums and genres' is selected, then below that is checked the 'include voice memos'...
    3. Under that you should see a list of categories playlists, artists, etc. You can check the box 'Voice Memo' under Playlists, but don't know if this is crucial. There is another Voice Memos box under 'Genre' which you can click but also don't know if it's crucial.
    4. Most importantly, go to the Artists list, scroll down and find the name you use for your Iphone. THAT'S the box that seems most important. Then with all those boxes checked the computer may request you to hit the 'apply' button at bottom right for those changes, then click the Synch button on the bottom right of the page and all voice memos go from iphone to iTunes.
    To get them out of Itunes for backup go to the left hand column in the Itunes window where it says 'PLAYLISTS' (not the playlists on the music page, but the heading in the left hand column usually below the 'STORE' and 'DEVICES' headings.) This PLAYLISTS heading shows the iTunes folders on your computer, not your iphone, scroll down and through the playlists until you come to 'Voice Memos'. Open that and then you can drag the voice memos onto your desktop like any other itunes file. (If you mistakenly open the Voice Memos folder under the Devices heading, that's your Iphone, and you will not be able to drag those files onto your desktop. Ideally disconnect your iphone before doing this.)
    I would like to know if this works for other than the two MacBook Pros I tried it on; note that this presumes your iphone name will show up in the Artists list; if not that may be another problem.

    Can someone help me with that?

  • Iphone voice memos does not stay open

    iphone voice memos does not stay open

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How to set it so voice recordings aren't interrupted by incoming calls

    So, recently when I've been recording with the voice memos, and a text or an incoming call comes in, it INTERRUPTS THE VOICE RECORDING.  Why would I possibly WANT this, Steve Jobs?
    The other day, I was recording a performance I was doing on stage.  I got a text from a friend saying "I'm not going to make it to your performance.  Sorry."  And my recording was interrupted.  Of course, I didn't notice until I got down off the stage.  Big dissapointment. 
    Is there a simple preference to be set for, like, "Don't let voice memos get interrupted"?  Check!
    Thanks for your help

    Steve doesn't make the iPhone himself.
    Nor is he in the user forum.... well he could be but I haven't seen him.
    The reason it interrupts is because the iPhone is a phone.
    And the main function is .... a phone.
    Anything phone related pops in front of any other app.
    So as gdgmacguy suggest, if you want to turn off phone features for a while the activate Airplane mode.
    Which would probably be also the correct setting if your phone is where there is a performance.
    Have some respect for the other performers; you would be unhappy if someone got a call during your performance right?

  • IPhone voice recorder interrupted memos

    I was using my voice memo app for an interview. I received a call during the interview and it shut the recorder off (I know I should have used airplane mode). However, I knew to restart the recorder. My problem is that I now have two memos, and the first one that was interupted won't play. The menu shows that the memo is there and that it is 15 minutes long. But when I play it, it acts as if there is nothing there. Also, when I synced to iTunes, the second memo showed up but the first did not. It seems like the data is there because of the menu display, but I don't know how to access the memo. Any ideas?

    When you've finished recording, tap the word "Done" next to the big red button. You will be prompted to name your recording. It will then appear in the list below the big red button. Select the recording you want to review and tap the play button at the left of the scrubber bar.

  • Why my iPhone Voice Memos sometimes randomly stop recording

    Hello everyone,
    I'm using my iPhone 6 Plus Voice Memos app to record my lecture in the university, the problem is sometimes the app stop recording and this is causing me major problem.
    Note that I'm putting my iPhone on Airplain mode to avoid stopping the recording if someone called me.
    The WiFi is sometimes ON while recording, but in all cases the Airplain mode is on
    at the end I need to record my classes lectures for more then 60 minutes normally sometimes 160 minutes.
    Thank you.

    Hey there Al-Shatti Jr.,
    If your Voice Memos are still unexpectedly not recording after some time, I would recommend quiitting the app itself first:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • IPhone Voice Memos Won't Sync

    I have an iPhone 3GS and an iMac operating on OS X 10.6.8. When I sync my iPhone to the iMac, all of my voice memos transfer, except key memos dated before a certain date or 5/4/11. I can't figure it out. I've looked through all my preferences in iTunes and on the iPhone but without any luck. Any clue what the problem may be and how to fix it?
    Thank you...

    I got a way around it. It's a bit long but works. Email the memo to yourself and then download it. Then open it on itunes and find it inside the Music folder (top left). Then copy and place it wheneve you want. It's the only way I could managed to move them from the memo library to my prefered playlist (despite ticking the include voice memos box). For some anowying reason memos are not allowed to be moved around!

  • IPhone voice memos can't be deleted

    I have unchecked voice memos and eleted others from my itunes library, but they still show in Voice Memos on the iphone (when viewed from itunes. How do I get rid of them from the iphone. I think this is why I have 4GB of OTHER cluttering my iphone memory

    Thanks, selecting Manually Manage allowed me to delete the errant voice memo files. Curiously, it did not delete within the general Music folder so had to dlete from there as well. I think they are gone, but saw no reduction in space used. Have to look somewhere else for that.

  • IPhone 5s is not receiving incoming calls

    Hi everyone,
    I am having problems with receiving incoming calls after I got the 5s. Sometimes, it didn't even ring, just went straight to voice mail even though the signal was strong. Sometimes they have to call me up to 8 - 10 times for the phone to ring once and the other calls will appear as missed calls. Does anyone experience the same problem with the 5s? Should I bring it to the apple store for them to take a look?
    Thanks
