How can i hide incoming calls from showing on my screen

How can I stop incoming calls from showing on my home screen?

If you just don't want to see the call notification on your home screen go to Settings, Notification, Phone and turn Notification Center to Off. Or you can simply select None and calls will be listed in the Notification center but you won't see a banner / alert on the home screen.
This also eliminates the Caller ID from being displayed before you answer the call.

How can i reject incoming calls in lock screen , without using ON/OFF key ??? (in iOS 7.0.2)

You can't. Either tap the Sleep/Wake button or just let the call to continue to ring.

Can barely hear incoming call?

Can barely hear an incoming call. Sounds very distant. What can I do to resolve this? Thanks

Dear Deborah, I just received my latest iPhone, iPhone 4S and I am experiencing a similar problem. For a hard-of-hearing person this problem might be too much. I have not reset my new phone yet but I am going to do so soon. I will see what happens.
Another question: How about those ringtones? The iPhone seems to reset itself to the default ringtone constantly eventhough I have put individual ringtones to my contacts. Any ideas how to solve this one?

I was using my iPhone 5 and the screen randomly went black. I can still hear incoming calls but the screen stays black and unresponsive and stays black. My lock button stopped working last week so I can't restart the phone. What can I do to solve this?

I had an appointment this morning with Apple to try and solve the problem with my lock button ranomly not working anymore and a few hours before my appointment with the Apple store i was using my phone and my screen randomly went black and stopped working. And the p.roblem now i cant use it. I tried restarting the phone but I can't restart it due to my lock button not working so i need help with a solution on what i can do. I missed my appointment today because i could no longer use my phone and i'm now stuck using my laptop. I did also try connecting it to my MacBook but the screen was still unresponsive and black. I rescheduled my appointment to Monday to see what is wrong with my button and screen but in the meanwhile i would like to know if there is anything i can do or if i would just have to wait until monday and take it in to Apple. Any help would be really appreciated as i am phonelss for now until i take it in to Apple in a few days. Thanks.

Hi rsample,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Your symptoms make it sound like the iPhone side switch is set to silent mode.
iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
Set your device to silent mode
iPhone: Toggle the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device.

After I dropped my Iphone 4s my back glass broke and now the screen won't turn on neither respond to touch but i can hear incoming calls and notifications. I tried pluggin to computer/other power sources and also tried pushing the home and power button together for about 20 seconds

It's broken due to neglect, namely being dropped. Replace it.

Sometimes on my iphone 5 i can't hear during calling how can i fix that thanks

sometimes on my iphone i can't hear during call !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i get my new iphone 5 about 1month ago
need solution

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

How can I merge conference calls and hang up on one of the instead of both on iOS 8.1.1

How can I merge phone Calls and make conference calls with iOS 8.1.1 and hang up on one instead of both of them , it's not giving me an option like before on iOS 7 ?

The following from the 8.1 user manual (http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf) may help
Create a conference call. While on a call, tap Add Call, make another call, then tap Merge Calls. Repeat to add more people to the conference.
    Drop one person: Tap next to a person, then tap End.
    Talk privately with one person: Tap , then tap Private next to the person. Tap Merge Calls to resume the conference.
    Add an incoming caller: Tap Hold Call + Answer, then tap Merge Calls.

I have checked around the internet, but still can't find any answers. How can I prevent incoming mail from interrupting the music I am listening to on my iPhone? That 1-second muting function drives me insane, especially when a lot of mail is coming in.

If you want to hear your music on iPhone without interruption, switch Settings > Airplane Mode: ON.

Can't hear my caller after I remove my iphone headphones

Has anyone else had this problem?
you are listening to your music using th iphone headphones, then you remove your headphones from the iphone, when you get a call you can't hear the caller and they can't hear you. I discovered that the only way to fix this problem is to re-insert the headphone and click the mute button on the headphone! It seems that when you use the headphones and click mute and then remove your headphones it remains stuck on mute, not allowing you to be heard on an outgoing or incoming call!!!!!
What's up with that this? is my second iphone and it has happened to both my phones. It's a good thing I had my headphones with me, otherwise my phone would be useless or worse yet if it was an emergency I would not be able to call 911!

That is the solution so far other than a restore.
FWIW It worked with a Belkin audio cord as well. I tried it a few times in and out with no luck.
Here's what worked for me:
1. Start ipod and pause on a song.
2. Insert cord or headset.
3. Hit play.
4. Hit Pause.
5. Remove cord or headset.
6. Hit play....
After (6) it didn't do much but then I noticed the volume slider grab a life of its own. When it settled down... all was working again.
What a pain in the rear.
Apple if you reading this fix it. I happened to get stuck at work after listening to music the night before... when I tried to make a call, guess what. All day without audio.
Brutal!

Iphone4 user, I cannot hear incoming calls/text, please advise.

I cannot hear incoming calls/text, however, I am able to make calls/text.
I did the sounds check (where it needs to be tested, and it works)
Please advise.

When you toggle the switch it will display an icon of a bell either with a line through it or not. You can double check this by looking at the link below:
