Dismiss incoming calls

Helloo
How to dismiss an incoming call in Iphone 4s when its locked .Please help as I am a new user
Thanks,
Khalid

Thank you for your reply. This is my first iPhone, I bought it six weeks ago and I can assure you it is not, and never has been, jailbroken (I'm assuming a brand new iPhone never leaves an Apple Store jailbroken, or course ). The other phone I tested to compare is an iPhone 4 (mine is a 4S) of a friend of mine and yes, it has been jailbroken, but it isn't anymore. I'm considering the possibility that there some leftovers remained (is that possible?). But there is one thing that really got me thinking. I found out about this function on MY iPhone. Accidentally, when I declined a call, a menu of predefined text messages appeared for me to choose. I tried one and the message wasn't sent. I tried a few times and after a while the messages stopped being shown. Is it possible that another app (like Viber, for example) was presenting that option?

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.

I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Has your carrier been having issues with Call Display? Do the telephone numbers come up when people call, or does it just show 'Unknown Number' or 'Blocked' ?

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

Double check settings - do not disturb - off

Iphone 5s cannot call out any calls, but still can receive incoming calls and sms

Hi
anyone experiencing this problem? After buying iphone 5s less than 2 months which I never did in the past, I could no longer make any phone calls out, yet i still can receive incoming calls and data.
Could someone kindly assist in this?

Contact your carrier. Phone functions are a carrier responsibility. Have them check your account. Are you seeing any error messages?

IPhone 5s incoming call rings on both headsets and speaker while headsets plugged in

Why my iphone 5s rings on both speaker and headsets in incoming call, while the headsets plugged in the phone?

Hi Lucasethio,
That is expected behavior on a non-muted iPhone. If you mute/silence the ringer with the side switch, you should still hear the ringer through any plugged in headsets as well. You may also find the following article helpful:

Why does my iPhone 5s not receive incoming calls

My iPhone 5s does not ring when receiving incoming calls yet I have signal, do not disturb is off and I receive texts or voicemails notifying me of a missed call which I can return immediately. What is going on? How can I fix this?

Yes the ringtone works. I know you are trying to help however I am fairly tech savvy and have eliminated all basic user defined settings that could cause the issue. The issue is not that there is no sound the issue is that there is no call incoming notification at all. The call does not connect to my Boone to even make it ring and display as a missed call

Iphone 5: Incoming Calls won't go through.

Hello everyone,
I purchased the Iphone 5 about 1-2 weeks ago and so far i love it. However as of recently i've been expeirencing a few issues where incoming calls won't go through.
I'll try my best to break it down:
Someone calls me.
Phone "rings" on their side.
My iPhone doesn't ring.
I get no notification of a missed call, and maybe a few minutes later i'll be alerted to a missed call or a voicemail.
I've tested various things that i assume would cause the issue, but so far none of them seem to be the case.
I even went to Verizon (a few minutes ago actually) and they did a soft-reset (pretty much what i did prior) and soon as i got home i called the phone and nothing went through. I waited about a minute, called again, and then i rang. However seconds later i tried calling again, and it didn't ring.
Also it happens are random times. First insident was a few nights ago around 10 PM. Then again a few days ago around 3 PM and finally this morning around 8-8:30 AM.
No my "Do not disturb" isn't on.
I have good (if not great) connection.
At home the phone is always on WiFi
Yes i've tried turning off LTE.
Yes i've done a network reset.
Yes, phone is up to date.
One question i have is could it be only having this issue at my house? I have no way of testing if it only happens at my home (cause no one really has that kind of time to waste with me lol) so i'm not sure.

I want to ensure those important calls get through Huxable! I understand why you are concerned!
My first recommendation would be to make sure you are power cycling the device(turning off and on) at least once a day. This allows the device to refresh with the network and update the tower information on 4G handsets.
Second, it will definitely be valuable to test the device in different locations to determine whether it is a location issue versus an equipment issue. If this happens in multiple locations for example, it is likely device related.
If you find the issues occur mainly inside your home, the network extender accessory is an excellent option to boost indoor signal strength.

Incoming calls not using Bluetooth / Music tracks repeating

I've been having a problematic issue with Bluetooth since upgrading to iOS 7. I have my iPhone 5 paired with my 2013 Hyundai Elantra's Bluetooth system.
Outbound calls use Bluetooth just fine, as does Siri, but any incoming calls all use my iPhone's headset by default. I have to manually switch the phone's output back to my car's bluetooth in order to talk using my car's hands-free system... which really defeats the purpose of hands-free.
I'll note that this is happening both when my iPhone is plugged in via USB and listening to music on the car's stereo, as well as when the iPhone is simply idle in my pocket. I have not tested what happens when the car is playing my iPhone's music via Bluetooth (the audio quality is sub-par to a direct connection and doesn't display the artist/track/album on the console when playing via Bluetooth - ergo I rarely use it)
Secondly, I am having another issue, this time with playing music. I don't believe it's related to the above Bluetooth issue, but it may be related to my car.
Like I said above, I often use my Elanta's USB port to directly plug in my iPhone so I can a) listen to music on the car's stereo and b) skip tracks with the wheel-mounted controls. This all worked flawlessly with iOS 6.
Now, if I skip a track with my car's controls, the Music app will repeat that next track... over and over. When the song is completed, it will attempt to move on to the next song, then immediately backtrack and start playing the previous song again (you can tell so by watching the Music app. The album art will swipe over, then quickly swipe back). I have to manually skip forward to play a new song... Highly irritating.
I'll also note that skipping songs via the wheel-mounted controls is considerably slower than it was with iOS 6. It's definitely a couple seconds after I press a button before the next song starts to play. It used to be near-immediate.
Anyone else having either of these issues? Hopefully it's something Apple picks up on and fixes soon!

Don't know if you got this yet, but I came here looking for answer. Since I just found one, figured I'd pass it on for others:
You have to set your phone's incoming calls to "headset" under accessibility. (Silly, I know, considering, if you hook up a bluetooth, it should automatically default there, but no ...) This walks you through:

IPhone malfunctioning while incoming calls

Hi Everyone,
Recently whenever I get incoming call suddenly music player turns ON.
Also sometime when I'm listening to music, song shuffle itself.
It's really bad experience with apple.
Voice control turned off.
Songs shuffle turned off.
Please let me know is there any malfunctioning in my iPhone or is there any settings need to be changed (recently I havn't changed anything)
Thanks,
Sri

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, set it up as new device again, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device

IPhone 4S all incoming calls drop

I have an iPhone 4S 32GB (White)
It was working perfectly up until the 5.0.1 update. Now INBOUND calls drop as soon as I answer them, I barely have a chance to say 'Hello' and I get a beep and the call failed message on-screen.
After hours of restoring/resetting/swapping SIM's etc I have discovered that I can replicate this fault 100% of the time by having Wi-Fi and Cellular data active at the same time. If I leave these both on I CANNOT receive incomming calls as they always fail.
If I turn off Wi-Fi I CAN receive calls.
If I turn off Cellular Data, again, I CAN receive calls.
Leave both on and Im stuffed.
Apple are sending out a box to return it to them so hopefully its just a duff handset and not something that is widespread like a bad chip or firmware as this is a major pain.

same problem , apple store gave me a new phone , set up everything , and didn't help , on both 5.0 and 5.0.1 softwares.. will go to see them tomorow again , expecting product for £500 work properly . 16gb 4s white.

Iphone doesnt receive incoming calls

Hi, for about 2 weeks i cannot receive incoming phone calls any more. Earlier it worked without problems. Now even in the phone log, no incoming calls are registered. I can make phone calls by myself, i can receive incoming calls by facetime, but no phone calls or sms. The phone is not muted (i tried the button already) . A complete reset of the phone did not change anything. Has anybody an idea what i can do?

My carrier did not know a solution, but proposed to send the iphone back to apple.
I removed all photos and videos. Just before i wanted to send it back, it suddenly worked again.
Now i wonder how long it will work. After all it seems like a software problem to me.

IPhone 2.0 incoming calls

Since I have updated my iPhone to the 2.0 software incoming calls have been not ringing and or causing my phone to freeze. I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problems. Also SMS text and calendar and notes all have been opening very slowly. I have restored my phone and this does not seem to help. I was wondering if it is my phone or if more people are having these problems. Yes kind of but I have the original iPhone so it has nothing to do with 3G it will just randomly not receive a call, or freeze when it does causing it to vibrate out of control.

My iPhone is also not ringing most of the time. I have noticed that the ringer volume is often turned off in spite of the fact I keep tuning it up. This happens even if the phone is locked.

Incoming calls are going directly to Voicemail, Iphone 5S

I switched phones from an Iphone 4 to this Iphone 5S and my incoming calls are going directly to voice-mail and not ringing the phone. The only app I downloaded that is different from my Iphone 4 is the GroupMe app, but I don't know if that is necessarily the cause. Anyone have a suggestion? thanks

Hi,   I don't know if this info will help many, but for a few it may. I had this problem over the weekend. Called Tech Support 2x, they tried everything, resetting,, *73, *228, *900 , there were no "do not disturb" settings, etc.   They prepared a work ticket for the next level of help.
Meanwhile, I couldn't figure out what changed all of a sudden. I knew I had no calls coming in after accessing my voicemail. I looked at my recent calls and noticed i had dialed a *83 prior to the voicemail *86. Fat thumbs. I remember years ago, having the features of *83 for do not disturb and *84 to stop the feature.   Just for giggles, i dialed *84, tried from another phone calling my number and WHOOLA, it came thru.
If anyone has these issues, try the *73 first. But just for the heck of it, do *84 as well. Takes half a second.   If those dont' work, then call Tech Support. I wanted to share to help at least some of you as I understand the frustration of not having incoming calls. I even called Tech Support and shared the info. As this was not an option given to me from Tech Support, but then again, i don't believe *83 or *84 is offered anymore. I just dated myself, but hope it helps others !
