Certain People I Call say my Bluetooth is Clipping

This is repeatable every time.
If I use my Plantronics-510 Bluetooth headset and call my friend "Y" cell fone, then she tells me my speech is so "Chopped" or Clipped, that it's too hard to understand me. IF I switch immediately to my Plantronics-310 or the wired goody which came with the iPhone 3-G, then my speech is fine.
I can turn around and immediately call "RR" who is mobile in another part of the US and use the P-510 and get a good audio report.
If "RR" calls us at home while mobile and using his Bluetooth headset, then, no matter which brand of home-fone we use, his speech is terribly Clipped.
This seems related to Mobile use of Bluetooth and not specific to any manufacturer of either Wireless-Headset nor Cell-Fone brand.
Anyone done any studies on this .... it's terribly aggravating and totally shuts down a conversation, often with a customer unfortunately.
However, that said, I got no complaints of my Plantronics before buying the iPhone in December.

People I call say I sound muffled on my IPhone 5

People say I am muffled when I call them on my IPhone 5. Had the same problem so Apple gave me a new phone but this one is the same. I am with Verizin and no one else in my family (all on the same) have this issue

When you hold the phone do you put your hand over the microphone on the bottom of the phone?

Is there any way to allow calls from certain people to ring with your phone on silent?

I would like to be able to put my phone one silent, for instance at night when I'm sleeping, but to be able to allow certain people's calls to "override" silent mode. For example, my boyfriend and family know when I go to sleep, so they wouldn't call or text in the middle of the night unless it was an emergency. Other people, however find it amusing to send random text messages in the middle of the night that wake me up. I don't want to miss an emergency call, however, so it's not as simple as just putting my phone on silent. Any ideas?

As David said; record a sound where there is no sound and make this a mp3 file and trasfer it to ur iphone and follow the steps below to make silent ringtone.
    1.    Start iTunes and find the song you want to convert. (It must be an MP3.)
    2.    Right-click the song and choose Get Info.
    3.    Click the Options tab.
    4.    Check the Start Time and Stop Time boxes, then enter times for each (no more than 30 seconds apart, the maximum length for a ringtone). I used 0:00 and 0:30, respectively, as "Spit It Out" has a perfect ascending lead-in.
    5.    Click OK, then right-click the song again and choose Create AAC Version. You should immediately see a new 30-second version of the song.
    6.    Drag that version out of iTunes and into the folder of your choice.
    7.    Delete the 30-second version from iTunes and undo the Start Time/Stop Time changes to the original.
    8.    Open the folder containing the 30-second AAC file you dragged out of iTunes, then change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r. Double-click it and it immediately gets added to iTunes' ringtone library.
    9.    Finally, sync your iPhone. When it's done, you can head into the settings and select your new ringtone.

When I try to use FaceTime on my Macbook Air, I try to verify the email I want people to call me with, and it says verified, but soon an message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."

So our school lets us use Macbook Airs for the school year, and it has facetime on it. I know facetime isn't blocked because like everyone else is using it. So I decide to give it a try. I click the icon, it says enter your apple ID. I dont have one, so I click to make one, and do so. I then enter my apple ID and click next. The screen reads "People will call you using your email address. What email address would you like to use?" I enter my email address in the box below the message, and then go to my email and click the link, and sign in, thus verifying the email. I go back to the facetime window, and click next. At the top it says Verified, but when I click next it doesn't go on to the next step, it simply blacks out the next button so that I can not click it, and after a few minutes a message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
So that is the issue, please help!!!!!
*Note-I repeat that I know it is not blocked by the school because everyone else uses it just fine.*

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

I'm having the same problem, but it's also coming through on my computer, through my Apple email address. I have a very short Apple email, and little kids are trying to facetime their little friends, and then when I tell them I'm not their friend, they FaceTime or iMessage me even more, thinking that I'm still their friend, and I'm just kidding around.
I can't block the kids before they call...I don't know who they are. I want to restrict my FaceTime to only my phone number, and block all FaceTime and iMessage requests that are coming in through my email address. Can I do that?
I have another thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5840011

IPhone hangs up on certain people ever time they call

Hi,
This is a very weird problem. My iPhone hangs up on certain people EVERY time they call, within about the first 45 seconds or so. It doesn't beep or make a dropped call sound, the screen just goes black and their call is no longer there.
I use my iphone for business and one particular very important client gets frustrated since my iphone drops his call every single time he calls me.
I have tried clearing their contact info and re-entering it and I have also completely reset/restored the phone to factory settings a few times.
Edit: I just wanted to add that this happens with about 5 numbers, and happens even if there is not a contact entry present.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?
thanks

Call AT&T support (dial 611) from the phone. Maybe they can run some tests to your phone from their end.

I cant send text to certain people

Recently my phone is acting up. I an iphone 4 unlocked with gevey sim running 4.3.5 and 4.10.01 unlocked for tmobile and all of the sudden it wont let me send texts to certain people and i cant recieve texts from them either. The sending bar will load to 90% and then it stoped with 10% left and says error. I try to resend but it doesnt work. I googled it and i deleted my conversation with the person, reset the phone, deleted then re-added the contact but it still doesnt work. But yet i am able to call them. I have not tried to restore it because it says i have to update the iphone if i want to restore it which i can do. So i need any ideas on what to do.

Bad signal in the area?
Also this is a peer to peer community forum and not a direct link to customer service. You need to give your fellow customers time to read the posts and decide if they know a suggestion that might help.

I can't make calls. I try to call and it just stays at the "calling mobile" screen I can't receive calls either yet people can call me?

This has just recently happened to me i've experienced this once before but briefly and it went away, now I'm on vacation (still in Canada) I'm from Vancouver and i am in toronto, and this has now happened since I arrived off the airplan. I'm seriously unimpressed with this, I had the iPhone 3GS before this iPhone4s and never had any problems with it, what concerns me the most is that in case of an emergancy I have no way to call for help, so this needs to be solved and solved quickly, I'm asking this question publicly before I get rid of this phone and get a smart phone which would be bad since I buy gucci accessories and cases for my iPhone, so here is you're last chance to help me and convince me to stay with apple,
Also I forgot to mention that people can call me with no problem but when I answer I hear absolutely nothing, yet I've been told that they can hear me, my Internet works (obviously) and my texting works just not receiving calls or making outgoing calls.
Please respond here because I'm on vacation for another week and I cannot contact anyone via calls only via texts,
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Alexander.

Hmm... both microphones are free from obstruction? The mic on top next to headphone jack and the the mic on the bottom...
Try restting as a new device and see if that corrects the issue... You must backup your data first.

This will rule out any possible software issue, possibly with the receiver of the phone....especially if the issue continues when you return to a known area where you have no issues. I would normally say try the speaker phone to see if they can hear you but it doesn't sound like you can even get that far. If the issue persists you may have a hardware issue and will likely have to take the phone in for service.

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.

it's also likely that you used two different apple IDs to purchase apps. if that's the case then you simply have to log out of your app store, and log into the other account to update the apps.
from experience it's not possible to syncronise purchased content from two different accounts. but you can always give Apple a call.

All data and messaging works on my note 4, but last night the cellular phone service just went dead. I can call people but the line is just silent, and people can call me, it rings, but I can't hear them. ?????

You aren't attached to a bluetooth headset or other device for some strange reason? Or even an automobile bluetooth, I have a friend that has this issue with his Prius because even when it is not running the bluetooth is still active and connects to his phone.

Why isn't my iMessage working. It's only working with certain people

My iPhone 4 has been strange lately. It only sends iMessage to certain people. How do I fix it?

hmmm.. When you go to settings>Messages>send and recieve> are you signed in? Or does it say "Use your appleid for imessage" ? If so , does signing out and signing back in fix the issue?

I can't send Messages to certain people, but I can reply to their Messages

Hello,
I have an unlocked AT&T iPhone 4, currently using it with Telenor in Sweden. Everything works fine except for the Messages application.
When I try to send a message to my Swedish contacts, sometimes they receive it and other times they don't.
But where it gets weird is that if they send me a message, it will open a new "conversation" and I can reply in that new "conversation".
Also, sometimes, if they have iPhones with iMessage, when I send them a text, the bubble will stay green and it says it is being sent as a text message. But when they contact me, the bubbles are blue and it says it's an iMessage.
This also only happens with certain people, regardless of which kind of phone they have! It also never happens with my American contacts who have iMessage.
Anyone else experience something similar? I have no clue why this could be.
Thanks!

Hi Jake,
Can you flesh this out a bit ?
Mac to Mac / MAc to PC ?
Applications used ?
Method used ? In Text chats ? Dropping on Buddies name ?
Just after adding Buddy or after restart ?

My two months old IPhone5(AT n T) not receiving calls (quite a few times) even though signals are good,Because sometimes people are calling my landline and asking Is your phone switched off ? In fact network also good at that time.Any fix ?

My two months old IPhone5(AT n T) not receiving calls ( quite a few times - Till now it happened around 15-16 times) even though signals are good,Because sometimes people are calling my landline and asking me that Is your phone switched off ? Infact network also good at that time.Not sure about the problem.
I contacted AT n T also and explained about the problem, They suggested to monitor few more days...whether it is real network issue or not. But I am very sure it is NOT network issue because one day I was waiting for my brother at my office open parking space, And i called my brother whether he is ready at his place so that i can go and pick him, but he told it takes sometime...and he told, he will call in 15 mins, So i was at the same location (NOT even moved 1 inch also ), just sitting and listening music and after 30 mins, I called him back and asked Still not ready, then he replied he was trying me from last 15 mins and it is going to voice mail , I got similar complaint from others as well. Today also my cousin called my landline and asked Is your phone switched off ? because i was trying to reach you but it is going to voice message, I saw the signals at that time, Signal strength is very good. I think there is some problem in Iphone5 may be LTE or something.
Taking phone to next levels is good, But it should NOT hamper it's basic phone functionality ( Make calls, receiving calls, Voice mail etc ). Please let me know if any fix for this.

You say it started on yours after upgrading to iOS 8. I've been on iOS 8.0 for quite some time and only recently did this issue spring up.
The one thing I haven't tried is downgrading it back to iOS 7 (which would be a shame, but if it's the only answer...)
I'll get back to you once I've tried that.

I can hear people on call but sometimes they can't hear me, it maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

I have an Iphone 4 13.5 GB, iOS 7.1.2. Currently when I make a call or someone calls me, I can hear people on call perfectly but sometimes they can't hear me. It maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Z10 not disconnecting phone call while using bluetooth

Just upgraded to 10.2.0.424 and now when I make a call using bluetooth in the car, I cannot disconnect the call using the bluetooth function. I have to search for my phone and disconnect directly. Any ideas for me? I don't want to get a ticket using my hand held phone while driving.

found this from bluetooth.org site but cant get a more direct link to it other than the one from a google search..
It leads to a pdf dl (sorry I couldnt be more accurate with my url than this)
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&ved=0CFAQFjAE&ur l=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bluetooth.org%2Fdocman%2Fhandlers%2FDownloadDoc.ashx%3Fdoc_i d%3D8701&ei=vaHyUozcOeTgyQHs8YCICQ&usg=AFQjCNE84jPk5kiv1FJ13AOV46o06hRJQA&sig2=e Qftb8HYBI-zk-EkvBZjYw
but this clearly represents what I am looking for in a BT speaker device.
So why isnt it so obvious to us when we are purchasing products that say they are BT speakers I wonder.
Do a web search for BT speaker with headphone profile and let me know if any that actually says it has it comes up.
Infact, only headsets say they have it and that just doesnt make any sense to me what so ever.
