Continuity Calling and Hotspot

I'm trying to work out whether or not continuity calling, from either my mac, or iPad, is possible when using my iPhone as hotspot. I don't have home broadband, my only internet is though tethering the phone while it sits in the window to get signal, so my iPad and MacBook both join the phone's hotspot, so this is my wi-fi.
However, calling from either my Macbook or iPad doesn't work, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had any success with this yet? Obviously there will be quite a few folk out there wondering if this will work, either in hotels with no wifi, traveling etc where your phone's hotspot is always available, but not necessarily a proper wifi network to join.
I've seen a few posts regarding this, but no definitive/useful answers as yet! Any help gratefully received...
All my devices support all the new features, and are all up to date with the newest available OS.

They're going to treat every case individually. While perhaps similar in nature, they will have to run through the same diagnostics with every new case the same way. I have an applecare contract, and I started with online chat support for OSX issues. Got the first level person pretty quickly who guided me through a bunch of diagnostic steps. At the end of that session, when things were still not working, she set me up for a support callback from Level 2. Call came in at the scheduled time less than an hour later, I got hooked up with a rep named Tyler, who had the ability to look at the devices registered under my apple id. He said it was strange that he didn't see my macbook pro listed, though he saw my other products. He said it would have to go to engineering. Sent me instructions to prepare a dump file and email it to apple support, which I completed right away. The next day, around mid-morning, my devices were getting the apple id popup message. Tried imessage on the MBP and it worked. Emailed Tyler that imessage appeared to be working, he replied, and it was done. I was surprised that I didn't receive any sort of follow up that my issue had been worked and resolved, but I was very pleased with the experience with apple support. For anyone who doesn't have an active applecare contract, I believe apple will handle Apple ID related issues for free, so that would be the path to follow. I'm wondering if I started through support as an Apple ID issue instead of as an OSX issue, maybe it would have resolved more quickly.

Continuity calling and personal hotspot

I tried continuity calling and it works great for me.
But on the road, e.g. in a hotel room I use the personal hotspot feature of my iphone.
So the iphone an ipad are on the same wlan network.
But it seems that continuity calling isn't working right now in the condition.
Is there a "trick" or did somebody made similar experiences?
(googled and found nothing about continuity calling and personal hotspot).
Thanks,
Sebastian

How to interrupt an funtion call and continue the followed code?

for example, the code:
public class A{
public static void main(String[] args){
int i = 0;
method1();
system.out.println("exit");
public void method1(){
int j = 0;
while(true){
j +=1;
there is a error in method1(), so the call the method1( ) in main() will make an error.
how can i interrupt this funtion call and continue the followed code?

in actually, I can not control the method1(), that's
an remote object function.
So I can not add exception in methoes().Then in your main method catch whatever "Error" your method1 is throwing.

My iphone5s continually drops calls and has very poor sound for callers sooo disappointed compared with iPhone 4 from which I've just upgrade

I am so disappointed as my iPhone 5 s is very poor for calls and repeatedly drops calls. I've contacted Orange and done a reset to factory settings with no improvement.These calls are to landlines. My iphone4 was excellent in comparison . I've requested an Apple support call tomorrow - any other suggestions or similar experiences? Call bars are much lower too on this new phone and wifi fails too with frequent fail to connect to server messages. I so regret having this phone..

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

Hello SHenoudabak,
It sounds like you are trying to find the Personal Hotspot option in your Settings. You were close. The option is directly under Settings, and not in the Cellular section of Settings:
Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

IPhone 5 works fine with incoming calls and audio books but no one can hear me talk.

I have an add-on blue tooth system in my older Prius and it worked perfectly for a couple of years. I can still receive phone calls and listen to audio books through my radio speakers but all of a sudden my callers could no longer hear my voice so I have to switch the phone audio source to iPhone so they can hear me. This happened when I had the iPhone 4 and has continued with the iPhone 5. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hi, Did you test to see if after 2 or 3 mins the phone started working correctly? mine does then it will work for a day or 2 on every call then I have to do the same thing again.

I was hotlined for no reason, it's been over 3 months, over 10 phone calls, and my account still has a "hotlined" indicator on it

This feedback includes more of my overall history, however I felt the need to share this recent experience of being hotlined, when it wasn't even my fault, the company admitted it, said they would take the "hotlined" indicator off of my account, and have failed to do so after several escalations:
I am sure my experience lately is nothing unlike anyone else’s experience. For the most part my experience with Verizon has been a bit of a roller coaster to say the least. When I first started my service almost five years ago, I ended up losing a phone number I’d had for about five years due to a technical mistake they made during the contract process and having to witch phones about four times. From there, I had billing trouble every month for the next 18 months. I had to call in for some kind of adjustment just about every month until I was due for an upgrade in December 2011. I upgraded to the Motorola Droid Razor, a choice I have regretted ever since.
So for the next 18 months I had well over 24 replacement phones for the Razor, until about August of 2013. I was offered by Verizon (via Motorola) to “upgrade” to the Razor M. It was a newer phone, only a bit smaller than the original Razor. I didn’t know it had 50% less internal memory than the original Razor, so I asked Verizon to send me the Razor in place of the Razor M, so that I could at least used the phone as I had intended. Not even a few days after I got the replacement Razor, it fell off my bed (less than 3 feet off the ground) and the screen shattered. Since I had not yet sent back the Razor M, I just re-activated it and called Verizon to let them know.
Okay, now let’s back track to October 2013. I had to replace another phone on my plan, a Motorola Droid Bionic, and we had ordered a new S.D. card for it. We got the replacement phone and S.D. card, I found out that the S.D. card was a kit that came with a card reader to plug into my computer, however it was also about $55. I sent the S.D. card back and the broken Bionic, and of course tracked both boxes. Verizon received both boxes within a few days, but only inventoried the phone. It took them almost 5 weeks to inventory the S.D. card. I had them charge the S.D. card to my bill, but since I had sent it back, I paid the bill less that amount, about $55.
So I had communicated with the financial services department about waiting for the $55 credit, in the event there was some kind of an issue. Even though I had talked to them right before the lines were all suspended, it was still suspended, and no one could explain why. I have called in since November 11, 2013 and I have talked to several people:
November 29, 2013 – Joanne
December 3rd 2013 – Ashley
December 4th 2013 – Melanie
December 6th 2013 – Maria
January 24th 2014 – Michael
February 7th 2014 – Elizabeth
February 8th 2014 – Amanda
Since then I have talked to another few more people, all of whom have submitted an escalation to a manager to approve the suspension to be removed from my account. We have all heard the term “hotlined”, which is like a big ugly mark on a customer’s credit and it takes 6 months of on time payments to get it removed. However in my case, it wasn’t even my fault, the company admitted that they messed up and interrupted my service and although they promised over 7 times to get the account fixed, they have still not done it. I still paid the November and December 2013 bill, and the January and February 2014 bill in good faith. Although I have had a number of bills roll over from one month to the next during my 5 year term with Verizon, I have never been in a position where the lines were interrupted due to an error of my own.My service does work, and was turned on right away when I called on November 11th to find out why it wasn't working, that is how I found out about the hotline, talked to a manager and they said that due to it being Verizon's mistake, the hotline indicator should be removed by December 1st, it was not and still is not.
I have never asked for the company to reverse the mark on my account until now. How is it that Verizon and other companies like them can hold the threat of an early termination fee over the customer’s head, so that if the customer makes a mistake they are in fear of doing it again for fear of being interrupted or disconnected? However the phone companies aren’t held to a similar standard? If the wireless phone companies (whether holding a contract with a customer or not) are not held to a level of responsibility when they make a mistake, then why should the customer?
So it has been over 3 months since my account was hotlined and the mistake was made. I have continued to make my payment and even kept my service with them, despite the fact that my contract is over. Because of the hotline I cannot use the edge program to get a new phone and I cannot bill anything to my account until the hotline is removed. As I understand all it takes is a manager to sign off on some document and the hotline indicator is removed. If that is the case, why has it taken over 3 months, and over 8 phone calls and nothing has happened? I just talked to a representative this last weekend in the loyalty department and I have given the company an ultimatum – either get the mark off by the next bill, coming out March 2nd 2014, or I am done with the service.
I would rather have to purchase a phone outright from another company, and get on a prepaid plan than to bend to accepting the responsibility of the hotline on my service when it wasn’t my fault. I also cannot stand having to switch companies, but in a case like this, I would be a hypocrite if I didn’t.

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck

High bill with unusual calls and texts from non-functioning numbers?

We have a family share plan with 3 phones, one phone for my husband and two phones for our employees. Our usual phone bill runs around $150. Our last bill was over $600, the majority charges being on one of our employee's lines. This particular employee has been with us for over 10 years, and has always been extremely trustworthy and very frugal in his usage of his phone to make personal calls (very infrequent and always less than 5 minutes in duration, unless made during the free nights and weekends timeframe). Our latest bill showed over 1,000 texts to/from his phone, as well as over 3,000 peak calling minutes (both to/from his phone) alone. Many of the peak calls are lengthy in duration (30+ minutes, up to 120 minutes). I realize this post is long, so will divide it into headings so that it makes more sense:
Information on usage:
Our employee insists that he did not make these calls and texts (he does not even know how to text), and what is odd about the numbers that appear on the detail (both text and voice) is that they fit into one of two categories:
1. There are calls to two particular non-local area code numbers (and possibly bogus, as they have area codes 523 and 352(?)). When I call the two numbers, I get the following messages:
From my landline: When called from my landline, adding a "1" before the 10 digit number, I get the recording stating that "your number cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again"
From a cell number- When calling from my own VZW phone (on separate account from husband's), I get a VZW message that the number "has been changed, disconnected or is no longer in service"
2. They are local area code numbers, but when I call the number, I get a recording asking me to enter my pin number (in other words, they are numbers that cannot receive incoming calls, but according to our bill, have not only made calls to our employee's phone, but also received calls. I have done an online lookup on these numbers and they are all cell phones.
3. When I have tried to text the non-local numbers from my VZW phone, I get messages back stating that these are landline numbers and cannot be texted; when I text the local numbers, I have texted a generic message along the lines of "I can't reach you on the phone. Please call me as soon as you can" but I do not receive a call back.
We cannot speak directly with our employee right now (he is in Mexico to pick up his elderly grandmother), nor can we access our employee's phone to check the log, call history, etc. because he has the phone with him. Due to this, when we discovered the high usage, we immediately "suspended" the phone line so that no calls could be made or received. Subsequent to suspending the line, we have talked to his family a couple of times -- one time he happened to call them on another line, so we talked to him "indirectly" through a family member on another line with him. He was alarmed about the calls and insists he did not make them.
He does have children but they are forbidden (by him) from using the phone, and he states that he always keeps the phone in a case on his hip, thus no one else has access to the phone. To go even further, it seems that most all of the calls to these unusual numbers are made on weekdays, during school hours, so I feel sure the calls were not made by his kids.
Calls to Verizon: When we first called Verizon, they suggested we suspend the phone until we could speak to our employee. Subsequent to our indirect conversation with him mentioned above, we called them back and told them he stated that he did not make the calls nor send the texts, and that we believed the phone might have been compromised, cloned, hijacked or whatever. First, the customer svc rep looked at our account and suggested that we put an unlimited text on the phone for the current unbilled usage (there were a lot of texts, and we have no text plan on the employee's phone), and then remove that plan once we get to the bottom of this matter.
Due to our concern about fraudulent usage, the customer svc. rep called the fraud dept. while my husband was holding on the line. She came back on the line and told my husband that the fraud dept. said that "it cannot be fraud because if it was, there would be thousands of dollars in international long distance to countries like Pakistan and India." (WTH?) Also, she said that it couldn't be fraud "because texts were sent to and from the telephone number so we know it was your phone." (another WTH?)
She then went on to say that it looks like texts were sent to international numbers (???) recently (these same 523 and 352 area code numbers I referred to above). Number one, if these were international texts, it seems odd to me that these texts show up on our billed and unbilled activity as "domestic text" and there is no premium charge assessed to our account for international texts. Number two, if these numbers were international numbers, I imagine that we would be charged for outgoing international calls, which we were not. Further, I imagine that the numbers would be displayed on our bill in other than a ten digit format, but am not sure, as no one has ever made an international call or text on our phone.
Next steps:
Does anyone have advice for the next steps we should take and how we can get to someone in customer service who can actually help us with this problem, instead of what we experienced on our previous call? Can we demand that Verizon launch an investigation through its fraud department on the activity on this phone, or is this at the discretion of VZW to launch an investigation? I am unsure, since this was not given as an option by the customer service rep...
If we can get Verizon to launch an investigation, is payment of the portion of the bill with the unusual and disputed usage (namely, that which is over and above the usual usage) waived pending the investigation results, or will we have to pay the entire bill to both avoid having the phones turned off, as well as any detrimental effects to our credit? We've been hit hard by the economy, both personally (I am out of work right now) and business wise (my husband's business has been doing only about 25% of its usual business), and we don't have the extra $$ for the bill unless we take it out of our grocery budget.
If anyone has any insight, suggestions or otherwise, I sure would appreciate it. Sorry for the lengthy first post, but I thought it would be helpful to outline as much about the situation as I could in order that people could respond. Thanks in advance!

kbinga,
I know this is a confusing and frustrating situation for you. I would be happy to review the account in detail to see what is happening with the usage and charges to ensure it does not continue to be a problem for you. Please send me a direct message for further support assistance.
Thank you!

Phone Dropping calls and disappointed in Verizon

Very disappointed in Verizon Wirelessly. Over the past year my phone has continuously dropped calls. It's getting worse and worse. I went from have decent service 3 years ago to only being able to talk in my bedroom and kitchen over the past year. over the past six months I had to start going outside and now that's become a problem. Even in the town I live there are now many dead spots. 90 percent of my calls drop a day. at times phone won't even ring Some calls and text don't even come through until hours later. People are thinking that I am ducking thief calls, and I'm tired of explaining the situation to them. To make matters worse I have contacting Verizon several times over the past year only to be given the run around. I've been promised help but nothing. some were supposed to call me back with a solution but nothing. I was told a tech was coming, never saw them. I was told to buy a network extender almost 300.00 dollars, but why should I have to pay for this when I'm alrwady paying you every month. I tired of giving Verizon the benefit of the doubt, but I'm close to leaving them and taking many in my community with me, cause im not the only one suffering. Verizon step it up and give me what you promised "the most reliable service in America"
oh and yes I have powered off phone, reset phone, replaced phones 3 times. I've done it all. So once and for all please HELP!!

I am very disappointed at Verizon. I am very very angry right now. I called their customer service about getting a second line on my account and asked them if they had a return policy or if the device is lost or stolen would I be liable. Both customer service reps that I spoke to on the phone both said that I would be able to stop the service as long as it was within the 14 days of purchase. The only money I would not get back would be the money that I would have paid for the telephone, the activation fee and that is ALL. I was going to take the risk and do this and ofcourse we would have to purchase the insurance. But I even had the second customer service rep verify with her supervisor that if the phone was lost or stolen that we could stop the service and would not be responsible for anything more and the two year activation would be stopped. She put me on hold and verified it and came back and said that I was correct and that that was true. So I told her then I will go ahead and go to a verizon store and purchase a phone. When I got there, I was told that it was NOT true. I asked them to open the conversation from customer service and they did and he saw it, but the supervisor at the store would not let me see it.. as if it is a BIG secret. If they can't be honest about it in the beginning then imagine how they are going to screw you in the end. I finally had to walk out and I am so so so disappointed. I want to cancel my existing service, but they have everyone by the balls... and they now it. Something has got to change... Government, NOW it's time to get involved. Anyone with me... say HEY!

IOS8 Continuity calling, o2, UK - How to turn it off

Hi All,
I've seen the suggestions about switching off cellular calls on an iPad to stop it ringing under continuity, however, my problem is different. In my home there are 4 iPhones and 2 iPads. I have a works and personal mobile, one for the wife and one for my son. All used to be setup under my apple ID so all rang at the same time when we are all at home when we updated to ios8. I've set up new apple ID's on the works phone and my wife's phone now to stop the problem, but it does cause another issue with App updates, you get the following message when trying to update on either of these (both are included fully on the family sharing):
The apps are all still on the original iPhone, and as it happens, are all free apps.
Using different apple ID's does solve the continuity calling problem, but I've also seen many users advise to turn off cellular calling in FaceTime. This seems to be fine for an iPad, but what about 4 iPhones? The option screen to turn off cellular calling in FaceTime setting is simply not there on an iPhone.
Probably a daft question, but would a simple button to "enable continuity calling" not be a sensible idea? I mean it is a great feature if it suits your home or office, but if it doesn't, i'd like to be able to keep things simple under one apple ID over multiple devices and just switch off continuity on the devices I didn't want to use it on.
Am I missing a setting or process to fix this matter another way? Any help appreciated.

There is one as you already know. Turn off Settings > Facetime > iPhone Cellular Calls
But since the whole point of continuity calling is to be able to access your cellular calls on non-iPhone devices when the iPhone is elsewhere, having that option for an iPhone makes no sense. Using the same iCloud account for multiple people is messy at best. This is why Apple give you the ability to set up individual Apple IDs for iCloud services and a common Apple ID for purchases. Family Sharing now allows a more seamless way to do that without configuring multiple Apple IDs on each device.

Continuity calling works but Handoff does not.

I got continuity calling to work by doing the on & off tricks with my iPhone 6 and iPad 4, but Handoff still does not work.

Hi.
Continuity works one way here: I can continue on my Mac, but not vice versa, Also cellular calling worked that way: receive on Mac works but no outgoing calls. I managed to get the latter work by switching a setting in FaceTime preferences, but continuity discontinues to work both ways.

Want to call and run a vi that is not in memory

I have a vi (say Sub1.vi) that I want to call and run from another vi (Say Main.vi). Sub1.vi is not loaded into memory, when Main.vi is started. From within Main.vi I want to load Sub1.vi and run it. But I don want Main.vi to wait for completion of sub1.vi - sub1.vi needs to run continuously in the background.
So I tried calling the sub1.vi using the Open vi Reference and the Invoke Node to run the vi. This works only if Sub1.vi is already loaded in memory.
Next I tried Open vi Reference, Invoke Node to Open FP and then another Invoke Node to Run the vi. This works when the sub1.vi is not loaded in memory but it opens the FP of sub1.vi.
But I dont want the FP to open and be displayed - I want sub1.vi to run in the background.
How do I achieve that?

Hi,
You've probably figured this out by now; if not, maybe this will help!

2 mo. old Galaxy Nexus drops every single call and it will be replaced with used one?

Well, I am trying to get in touch with Verizon c/s, and this is where the tech support person sent me.
My less than 2 month old Samsung Nexus drops every single call - not 1, not 2, always. Been to Verizon stores who told me to call c/s and tech support. Sooooo - they are sending me a "basically new" "reconditioned " (read: used) piece of equipment. I am willing to spend $$ to get a NEW phone and/or upgrade. I use the phone for work and can't live with every call being dropped. It's now a joke when I am on company conference calls as to how long before I cut out. It's also not funny in that it is threatening my work quality by impeding communications. All I want is to get a new phone to replace it - not a reconditioned one. And I will pay. Just not the $600+ they quoted me which is what "Verizon fronts" for me for the 2 year plan. The C/S rep was nice - not his fault. It's a policy issue. But the C/S manager needs some help in his customer response skills.
Very disappointed with Verizon and I have been with them since the inception of cell phones. Too bad loyalty doesn't seem to matter. And I understand Verizon continues to sell this phone even though they know of this issue (they admitted it) and won't have a fix available until who-knows-when (I was told the fix is in beta mode and no one knows when it will be ready for market). Isn't it a bad practice to sell something that doesn't work to a customer? I think it is, and am surpised at Verizon and their lack of responsiveness to resolve my issue.

Nomasvz,
I have had this phone since December and have been trying to get the dropped calls and terrible call quality issues resolved since. Been on the phone with Verizon and Samsung countless times. Was promised way back in March that an update was coming and if I was patient the phone would work properly. The update came three months later and it made my phone worse. My phone is like using a cheap walkie talkie. So they offered me a CLNR which I wasn't happy about but had to try something. Each one I was sent looked brand new but each had the issues of my original plus more issues. End up sending them all back and keeping the original. I think my issues are related poor signal strength and it isn't a tower issue. Very disappointing. There are others with the same issues. Verizon has not handled this well and yes, it also frosts me that Verizon continues to sell these phones. It has been a rather unbelievable and very dissatisfying experience. I was offered a CLNR Razr (not a maxx) or Droid Bionic as a replacement. That just isn't acceptable in my opinion.
