Dropped or Garbled calls while driving (with headset of course)

I'm in Middlesex MA.
I'm used to being able to drive to work with headset the whole way from worcester to boston on my former sprint pda phone.
I can no longer do this with the iPhone?
Any ideas?
What's weird is I can be sitting in traffic on the pike and not moving and it will show 5 bars. I connect it drops to 0 and cannot connect (fast busy). I hit try again it fails. I hit try again and then it works.
Thanks

No, as that would require an App to interact and control parts of the basic OS which Apple do not permit.
I did read somewhere, although I have not looked for it, about an App which prevents the phone from being accessible if its moving above a certain speed, like walking pace.

No idea if its available yet though.
A very laudable and sensible approach you're taking there to ensure the safety of your kids - well done !

  • Interferences while phoning with headset

    I have several sound issues with my Lumia 800: the clicking sound when changing tracks and the interferences when playing music while transferring data with GPRS/EDGE.
    Additionally I get interferences when I phone with a headset. It does not matter if I use the headset which has been delivered with the Lumia 800 or my own one. It is the same noise you get out of your stereo, when you put your phone in the near of its speakers. Does anybody else have the same problem(s)?

    Further investigaton of this defect lead to the realization, that the noise appears with loudness 7 oder higher. With 0-6 no noise, with 7 it abruptly occurs till 10.

  • 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:

  • When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

    When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

    I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

  • BB Torch 9810 Device is dropping calls while connected on a blue tooth car kit

    After speaking with a representative previously, I tried deleting the Bluetooth connections from my phone and my 2008 BMW 328xi car, reinstalling this connection, but it still drops the Bluetooth connection while in a call in my car. Please help me.
    A tech support rep assisted me in reloading the software on my phone and starting fresh without any third party applications. It seemed like it worked for a while without the problem reoccurring. But now it started again. I don't know if this helps but I did notice that if I continued my cell phone call using my speaker phone (hands free), eventually the phone reconnected with my car without my intervention. 
    Other issues I have: When backing up my BB to my Mac book thru Desktop Manager 7.1 Bundle 1997 (2.4.0 build 17), if I check off "Back-up built-in media storage," it hangs at "Backing up on-board memory." So I backed it up without this, but it still has an issue after it completed saying that it could not back up "Blackberry Messenger: Unexpected backup error."

    I'm in a similar situation.  My old blackberry 8320 worked like a charm with my Buick LaCrosse bluetooth, but the new 9810 torch doesn't.
    Both the car and the phone recognize each other, however, when I go to use handsfree and make a call, it never goes through.  I've deleted and added the device several times to no avail.
    My torch is running 7.1 bundle 1997 (v7.1.0.694, platform 5.1.0.507).  Right before typing this reply, I attempted to update the bleckberry device only to discover it already had the most up to date OS.
    So, if anyone has ANY ideas about how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI.  Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name.  Names appeared on the phone screen but not MMI screen. Cannot dial by contact info while driving anymore.  Never had this problem with previous iPhones

    My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI.  Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name.  When someone calls, only the number appears on the MMI screen, not their name or whether they called from their office/home etc..   Same with missed calls, dialed numbers etc.. Names appeared on the screen of the phone,  but not on MMI screen. Cannot dial by searching  contact and name info while driving anymore.  Never had this problem with previous iPhones.  Is this an Apple issue or Audi issue?  Anyone with this problem? Help!

    NIGHTMARE Finally Ends, after nearly two weeks.
    After trying for over a week trying to get my replacement iPhone 4S to activate, I ended up driving 110+ miles to an Apple Store to get a second replacement, which had been specially shipped there for me.  Popped in the SIM card, went through the setup and I finally have an iPhone 4S that works, at least for the time being.
    Advice to others who find themselves in this situation:
         1)     If you get these messages (see original post), the phone is bad.  Demand a replacement.
         2)     If the AppleCare tech advises that the Apple Agreement Administration team is investigating, you'll be waiting for a week or more for them to complete it.  Demand a replacement immediately, don't let them put you off indefinitely.
    After the initial phone call documented in my original post, I was in daily contact, phone & e-mail, with the AppleCare tech trying to figure out the problem, and we tried everything, from forced restore's to switching SIM cards, conferencing w/ AT&T, etc.  It seems that this was a case of first impression to Apple, but if it wasn't, then the problem is not well documented or known by those who should know, and for that, the blame should be on Apple, not the AppleCare tech who worked tirelessly trying to figure out a solution--I'd send him a case of beer if I knew where to send it.

  • I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset?

    I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset/earphones?

    Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

  • My IPhone 6 with AT&T is dropping 5-10 calls a day. Calling from same location as my 5S which never had dropped calls. Is this a hardware or software issue?

    My IPhone 6 128GB with current software using AT&T is dropping 5-10 calls a day. I am calling from an office with good signal strength and in the same location as i did with my 5S which almost never had dropped calls. Is this a hardware or software issue? Is this a common issue with the new IPhones?

    Hi jackneedshelp, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If calls are not going through on your iPhone 6, I recommend going through the troubleshooting method found at this link:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls - Apple Support
    These steps can help identify and resolve the symptom that might be causing the connection issue.  
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • 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. 

  • Calls have been dropping out mid-call (after initially working) with full reception since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS5 (can hear them but they can't hear me).

    Calls have been dropping out mid-call (after initially working) with full reception since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS5 (can hear them but they can't hear me). The call initially works but then after a minute or so, they stop hearing me, even though I can hear them. Sometimes it goes the other way and I can't hear them.
    Please advise how to remedy ASAP.

    PS: I have had full reception bars when this has occured on a 3G network in Sydney, Australia (3 Mobile).

  • Noise-canceling headset to use Siri while driving?

    At freeway speeds, road noise in my non-Lexus renders Siri basically useless when I use the Apple-supplied headset.
    Have others solved this problem by using a noise-canceling headset? What model/brand works well - preferably without breaking the bank?
    Thanks.

    That's great! Sounds like the user has a choice how to use Siri. Another concern I am finding on the blogs is that one cannot use Siri while the phone is locked. Before iOS7.1, you could. Does this mean I must unlock the phone before I can use Siri? This would be inconvenient while driving or other circumstances.

  • Repeated dropped calls while using speakerphone.

    I'm having problems that whenever I'm using my speakerphone, and my phone shifts position ever so slightly (no, the screen does NOT get bumped) that my calls often get dropped.  At one point I thought it was just between myself and another smartphone user and had them restart their phone and we tried the call again.  The calls continued to drop off so long as I was using the speakerphone, but would be fine if speakerphone was turned off. I was frustrated to find out that it was not just with other smartphone users, but with standard cell phone users as well that this issue was continuing to happen. 
    Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions as to what might be causing it and what I might do to solve the problem?
    Thanks!  =0)

    Thanks for posting itisme1!
    I can imagine how frustrating it is dropping calls.  This is something different, however, I am confident we can get this resolved together.
    When did the problems with the dropped calls start?  Did you notice the problem after downloading any particular applications?  Do you use any type of case, cover, glove or screen protectors on your device?  If so, have you tried the calls, using speakerphone, with the accessories off of the device?  Have you tried soft resetting your device by powering it off, removing the battery and reinserting?  If you have completed all of these steps, I would like you to try master resetting your device.  This will remove any corrupted files or faulty applications, and allow the device to start afresh.  Please ensure your device data is backed up prior to performing the reset.
    Please let me know how that works out for you.

    THANKS.........

        Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.
