Hand-off Phone Calls Continue Ringing

I have an iPhone 4S and MBP Retina. When by phone is close to my Mac, both the phone and Mac ring. But the problem is that the phone continues to ring after I answer the phone. I have to press the Esc key on my MBP to stop the Mac from ringing. It is quite annoying for me and for the caller. Is this how this feature works?

It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...

Handing off a call from the iPhone to the Mac using Continuity?

Why can't I hand off a call from my iPhone to my mac using continuity? Am I missing something? Does't seem to allow me to do this, just the other way around. Any suggestions?

When the call is already in progress it doesn't allow you to do that; just the other way around.

How do I quickly turn off the notifications in ios 5 but still allow the phone calls to ring.

I am trying to learn how to set my Iphone 4 with the ios 5 to silent but still allow the phone calls to ring aloud. At night, I do not want to hear emails and text messages come through, but if someone calls I would like my phone to ring and wake me up. Can this be done easily? I do not wish to go into each notification section and turn off and back on. Hopefully their is a quick set point that would allow all notifications to be turned off and still allow the phone itself to ring.

hi mtbomb,
hi Can you while the Power LED is blinking hold the power down don't let it go until the light disappeared.
Technically the Yoga13 should turn off while holding down the power. at least 10 to 15 sec.
I would suggest calling Technical Support if the above steps did not resolve the issue.
It's possible that when you turn on the system, it is not going to sleep but the blinking indicates failure.
Best regards

Can you turn off phone calls and texts??

I am traveling to Buenos Aires from the United States for a minimester.. I called my cellular carrier and they do not have a plan to save me money in regards to phone calls and texts. I have the app What'sApp so I can use a data plan they offered me to keep in contact while I am way, however I am still afraid of racking up charges in texts and phone calls. Is there any possible way to turn off phone calls and text and strictly use the data plan they have given me?
I have the iPhone 5. Thank you.

FYI, that won't work. AirPlane disables all radio communications.
The best way to do this is to divert all calls.
Go to Settings
Phone
call forwarding and switch to O
Type in your carriers default voicemail number. Because it is the default number for voicemail is an exception in their list you won't be charged for the diversion.
remember to switch this off when you get back.
Then go to messages turn off send as SMS and MMS.
That should avoid most of the charges. Its inevitable that you'll get some but hopefully if you're careful it will be minimal.
Have you thought of using a local sim while you're there, you're iMessage will still work and your home SIM and account will be inactive so you won't get any unforseen chardges?
Good luck

Turn off phone calls, keep text capability on.

Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off phone calls, but keep your text messaging capability on? We are travelling internationally and texting is a lot cheaper.

Texting is a portion of the cellular service, and I am not aware of a way to remove one without the other. While you can turn off texting, if you were to turn off cellular service, then texting would be turned off as well. You can turn off cellular data and roaming, and that would turn the cellular off, but then you could still use iMessage via Wi-fi, however if any of your friends are non-iPhone users, you would not be able to get messages from them.

My daughter's phone calls are ringing on my phone... how do I fix this?

Hello... I am trying to figure out why my daughters phone call are ringing to my phone and how to fix it. Anyone have this happen before and do you have any suggestions>

Try looking at this if you are sharing the same Apple ID. http://osxdaily.com/2014/09/29/stop-other-devices-ringing-iphone-call/
Also consider setting up seperate Apple IDs and using Family Sharing instead.

Any phone call now rings FaceTime on imac and iPad air.

I recently set up my phone to relay SMS messages to iMessage on my Mac and IPad. The SMS messages have been coming through fine, since.
However, around the same time I made those changes, whenever my iPhone gets a phone call, my iPad, and IMac' FaceTime simultaneously ring (even though these are just audio only phone calls.)
Any idea why, and if I can stop this from happening?

Because of this Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity scroll down to phone calls and do the opposite of whats posted.

My IPhone 5 cuts off after 15 minutes during phone call. Anywhere, anytime

That isn't anything the iPhone typically does.

Landline phone calling out rings at destination but does not connect at home

When calling out to someone their phone rings and they hear us but the call does not connect on our end

Sorry to hear about your problem. Is this happening on every phone you use in the house? Cordless or Corded phones? Do you receive incoming calls fine?

Suppress phone call rings, but still hear alerts

I want to suppress calls for awhile, but still need to hear my (calendar) alerts.
If I turn off phone call rings (via the physical side switch) - the alerts can't be heard either.
Is there some way to do this on IOS v8.2 ?

Thanks for your reply I have tried that and the fault does indeed still exist.
So am I right in thinking BT could have the fault despite them saying the line is fine? Is there any possibility that this type of fault could be on my property in the parts of the line leading to the boundary of the property? As in this link http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12439/c/345,353,374 - any idea how I can tell? This 'boundary' thing is also quite confusing because we are a first floor flat

Initiates phone call when I say "hey Siri"

When I am in my car and using Bluetooth, if I say, "Hey, Siri" it initiates a phone call to the last number I dialed. Siri continues to respond, but the phone call continues also. If I end the phone call (that I didn't want to begin with) then Siri ends also. I have upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5.

It is very possible the vehicle's system will not support this enhancement to Siri. Have you been able to use Siri for other tasks in the vehicle without it initiating a phone call in the past? What happens if you turn off Hey Siri and just try holding down the home button to start Siri, what happens?

My handoff phone call does not work with Yosemite while other apps are working

I have upgraded to Yosemite and tried the handoff with my iPhone 6. First time I tested phone call which worked. I switched off the Mac and went out. When I came back the handoff phone call didn't work anymore, while Safari, Email, etc. are still working via handoff.
Thanks for any help in advance

The iPhone calling feature is not called, "Handoff." Using the terminology incorrectly only adds to the problem. "Handoff," is the feature where apps share documents.
Both "Phone" and "Handoff" are separate features under "Continuity."
This is "Handoff":
This is "Phone" calling:
