Bluetooth issue won't let you hang up phone.

iOS 8x is causing my iPhones [5S and 6] to make phantom calls when connected to bluetooth calling devices [headset and car]. 
One can NOT hang up the phone on these without breaking the bluetooth connection somehow.  The fastest way is to reboot the phone, breaking the BT connection and disconnecting the call by dropping the carrier connection.
[I haven't tried setting it to airplane mode, but now that I think if it - since that would break the carrier connection - that might work as a gludge]
The problem appears to be the iOS 8 BT coding, or a firmware code upgrade for the BT chipset is necessary. 
Please address this problem Apple. 
Thank you.

Finally getting a chance to sit down and write this. 
After installing iOS 8.1 on my Apple 6 iPhone the bluetooth problems, but for one or two very minor issues that have work arounds that I am not going to go into here because I want to keep this short, have disappeared. 
This makes one thing painfully obvious, the problem was an operating system or upgradable firmware problem just as it has been in the past. 
Also just as it has been in the past Apple denied that was the case.  It's only acknowledgement of the problem is the part in the release notes where it says, "Fixes an issue that could prevent connections to Bluetooth hands-free devices". 
Pages and pages of people with problems wondering when, and if, something was going to be done.  What would have helped them all was someone from Apple stating in a place where it could be seen, "We hear you.  We know about it.  We are working on a fix."
The the update comes out, the fix is in it, Apple gains in credibility and it's becomes  'a company that listens'. 
Why is that never done?

    How can you turn off the braille setting on an iPhone 4s, once on it won't let you slide the phone into use mode to change the settings or do anything?

    An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • How do I change icm/keep_alive_timeout ? (SMICM won't let you do it.)

    In SMICM (Go To -> Parameters->Change), you can change the vvalue of icm/conn_timeout from its default value of 5000 msec.
    But the transaction won't let you change the value of icm/keep_alive_timeout from its defailt value of 60 seconds, even though the documentation for the parameter says you can override it.  (The "new" value column entry is grey instead of yellow.)
    So how DO you change icm/keep_alive_timeout if SMICM won't let you change it?
    I am pretty sure it's this parameter that is resulting in the following message when I attempt to run a WDA demo application:
    500 Connection timed out

    Hi Raja -
    Thanks for that tip!
    I did it the way the help library says - by editing the start-up profile for the instance and changing timeout and proctimeout on icm/server_port ...
    But your way is a lot nicer - I'll try it tomorrow.

    Never seen anything like it.  Do iPads get virus'?
    Thanks for any help.  I've never used this before.
    Linda

    There are no viruses for the iPad. Close the mail app and reboot the iPad.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • TS1814 I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it. Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do. Any ideas on how to get it working again?? I'm dying without it!

    I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it...
    Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do.
    Any ideas on how to get it working again?

    This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier.  It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
    Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking.  Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing.

  • How to use imessage with your number if it won't let you click on it

    When I go to change my receive address to my phone number it's there but it won't let me use it.

    The newer titles are fixed and uneditable. But if you look down the title list, the older title options are editable. For example, Horizontal Blur and Boogie Nights that was NOT editable in the past. I was able to edit the font, color and size.
