Cannot answer calls on I phone 5.

The phone rings, actually it doesn't ring, it vibrates. Nothing shows up on the phone as per caller, ID or an answer option/page. If I go to the call pad screen on the PHONE icon, again its as tho no one is calling. The only reason I know it is an incoming call is from the vibration (which is enabled along with ringer) and then I get a missed call message! Soft reset will get me one or two calls then the same thing happens again. Tried hard reset, taking everything off and then putting it back on thru I tunes. Same thing. Any ideas peeps? Well frustrating, new phone?

Greetings jeffers59,
I can certainly understand your frustration at being unable to receive phone calls on your iPhone 5. I know it would bother me. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
If you are having an issue with being unable to receive calls as you describe, and you have already tried resetting the iPhone, the next step would be to back up any data on the iPhone and then erase it and set it up as a new device. See this article for how to do so -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

iPhone 4s: Slide to unlock doea not work. Phone receives calls and messages but we cannot answer. We have tried numberous times to turn on/off to no avail.

It sounds like your phone is broken.

Cannot answer calls, cannot slide to answer

I have the i phone 4, it works fine until some calls, the phone rings and when i attempt to answer by sliding to answer, the touch screen doesnt work, i can mute the ring but cannot answer...

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.

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?

UCCE Agent cannot answer call

Hi,
We are facing an issue some times (random) that agent cannot answer the customer call.
Before the agent answers the call, it is queued again and offered to another agent.
The new agent also faces the same issue.
We are using UCCE8, CVP8 in a comprehensive mode.The call is send to CVP(10.70.78.118)
from CUCM(10.70.78.126,10.128.60.31) through SIP trunk. The CVP application is played successfully
using the gateway(10.70.78.114). The agent extension label is correctly received in CVP & associated
SIP static route to CUCM(10.70.78.126) is identified. Upon routing the call to CUCM, the CVP log shows
"HANGUP with Call History" and "Terminated with Q.850;cause=16".
This issue is happening rarely & randomly. Will it be any issue with CUCM, network or CVP configuration.
CVP log is attached for the analysis.
Appreciate any help or suggestion.
Regards,
Nissar.

It seems that my analysis of the log is not correct. Sorry for misguiding, if anybody analysed the log.
"REJECTED WITH 503 - Service Unavailable Reason: Q.850;cause=47" is the correct error message from the call leg to agent. I was refering to the incorrect call leg in the previous post.

Help! Cannot answer calls ever since update.

After I did an update, I can no longer answer calls. It's like the answer button is dead when I hit it but ignore button works fine. Seen somewhere that it could have something to do with the keyboard being locked but it's always been locked and I never had a problem before this. I have a BB Curve 8530.

Hi,
My suggestion would be to reload your software again on your device. From what you describe, it sounds like the software may have been corrupted. Make sure you load your device software from a computer and not wirelessly from your device. You can get all the software you need from Verizon right here. Hope this helps.

Try resetting the iPhone.
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

5800 Cannot Hear Caller.. Phone to be exchanged ag...

Regular forum memeber may recall that I have an ongoing problem where at random I cannot hear the caller, but they can hear me.
I had a phone call from a young lady at Nokia UK today.
Guess what..I genuinely couldn't hear her.. it just so happened, that her call to me was affected by this problem.
I'm on to my second phone with this issue.
Nokia are now to do a doorstep swap on Monday.
Monday will be my third phone.
If it happens again then I'm at a loss.
I've tried everything I can possibly think of to try and identify why this is happening.
If it happens on the third phone, I think I'll sell it and buy something else.

After lots of workaround, what seems to be working for me so far was to disable call timing. I figured out that this was one of the things (should I say bugs?) I used to switch on after each of many hard resets attempting to fix the problem.
[Settings > Calling > Call > Show call duration > No].
Hope this helps.
(By the way, Nokia guys, I'm still waiting for the version 5 of the firmware for Colombia. Please release it and thanks in advance).

CTI OS desktop agent cannot answer call

Hello All,
I am seeking a suggession on a issue which seems to be lying with network.
Agents are located in different location and all remaining Cisco components like ICM, CVP and CCM are in data center.
Agent succesfully logs in via CTI os Dsktop agent and IP phone, but when call is transferred, its state fluctuates between ready and reserved. CTI OS desktop agent never goes to talking state and call never lands on IP phone.
Network team claims nacessary routing and firewall ports are already open.
Seeking suggesion to further isolate and what logs/traces can be collected to identify the source of issue.
Tried 1 test agent login in data center and observed that in data center call lands to agent succesfully.
Any directions/pointers?
TIA
Regards,
Kailash

Hi Kailash,
Could you please check the below points:
1. Check if you associated the Agent phones to CCMPG user.
2.Symptom: Agent receives calls, but loses them after a few seconds before they can be answered.
Possible Cause The Ring No Answer feature is probably set on your ICM system. Open the ICM Configuration Manager and increase that value or disable it all together. (Refer to the ICM Administration Guide for Cisco ICM Enterprise Edition for more information on how to configure the Ring No Answer feature.)
3. Make sure the CSS and partitions are proper.
Also refer the below troubleshooting guide for more information,

Hope it helps,

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.

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

Cannot place calls after 2.2 update

Today I downloaded and installed the iTunes update, then did the iPhone 2.2 update. Now I cannot place calls with my phone. I can receive calls and all other functions work ok.
I powered off and restarted the phone. No luck.
I reset the phone. No luck.
I went to AT&T and had my SIM card replaced. No luck.
I restored the phone to factory settings. No luck.
I restored the phone from my last backup. No luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

When I press the green Call button it immediately says the call failed.
AT&T verified that my account was in good standing and had no billing/administrative issues. They then replaced my SIM card. Honestly, I didn't trust the AT&T store to do tech-support on the iPhone. Since there was an Apple store about 100 yards away, I went there next.
At the Genius Bar, the man said that there had been some "voltage issues" from updating via a laptop. He said that I should restore it to factory settings, then try again, but this time from a desktop. I tried that, but still, no luck.
It seems odd that I can receive calls, but not place them.

Is It just me? answering calls with Q

Is It just me ? I don't have huge fingers... but when i go to answer a call i end up pressing the Q key , assuming i have answered the call , put the phone to my ear.. then deafen myself with my own ringer... then try to delete Q to answer the call... soloution: how to remap Q to answer calls ( only when phone is ringing so i think the regular keychanger won't work ) ? surely i am not alone ?

The iPhone battery is generally very good; even when using MobileMe with Push enabled, etc.
BUT; once you add a Microsoft Exchange account & leave Push enabled, you could probably watch the battery drain like a sewer right after a heavy rain storm.
OK, what you are seeing is a problem with your phone, not a general problem with the iPhone or any specific release. Most of the time my phone gets excellent battery life with Exchange Push enabled. Occasionally (a couple of times a year) I suddenly see a heavy battery drain with Push on. I've seen it with every release of iPhone software since Activesync was added. I've concluded that something is broken when this happens. An IT admin in the forum posted about a year ago that he saw many open connections to phones of users when they were reporting this problem. He rebooted the Exchange server and the problem went away for a while. As most of us don't have that option I've found a couple of ways to fix it on the phone. One or more of them has always worked for me.
1. Reset Network Settings on the phone and reboot.
2. Go into Mail,Contacts,Calendar, tap on the Exchange account and turn off all 3 functions. Then reboot, go back and turn them on.
If these don't fix it what I do is go into Settings again and delete the Exchange account. I then reboot and add it back. I then wait several hours for the account to resync (it's best to do this with a WiFi connection). When all of my email, contacts and calendar entries have reappeared I fully charge the phone and test battery life again. This sequence has always worked for me, but I have seen posts from owners who say it did not work. But most say it works.

When iPhone is on Cellular data and WiFi, i cannot make calls and phone goes out of service.

So I have this iPhone 5S unlocked version from the US which I am using in India. When I am connected to my office wireless and also the cellular & 3G data are switched on, my phone goes out of service and I cannot make calls. I can also use internet.
However this works great when I get onto my home WiFi along with cellular & 3G data switched on, I can make calls and also surf the net with the WiFi.
Is anyone having similar issue? I am sure there is something with the office WiFi but what could it be to get my phone out of service.
Any thoughts anybody ?
Thanks,
UG

Yes I shutdown WiFi and I can connect to 3G on Cellular. I can make calls.
If I shutdown Cellular and connect WiFi. I can make calls.
Its just that when both are ON, then no calls can be made.
All combinations work good with Home WiFi.
