am i reading this correct? you have the phone rested on your shoulder?  this might be your problem, by resting the phone on your shoulder and against your check, the phones sensor (located in the upper left portion of the phone) is probably receiving some small amount of light which turns on the screen then your cheek presses the mute or end call.
have you tried the other shoulder, the sensor might be covered up better?
or press the power button as you are about to talk, sometimes i do this and it keeps the screen from turning back on.
or, just hold the phone with your hand instead of your shoulder (or use a bluetooth device)?
there should be an app for your problem too, i remember seeing it but cant remember the name right now.

  • Iphone 4 keeps on hanging after updating to iOS 5.0 and later to iOS 5.1

    My iphone 4 keeps on hanging after updating to iOS 5.0.  I can no longer make and receive calls.  If I am successful in making a call, it will never end even after pressing stop.  The problem still persists even after updating to iOS 5.1.  How do I resolve this problem?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Hanging up on people? here's help

    Hang up issue idea....
    I usedto hang up on people daily but then I figured how not to do that anymore...
    1) place call
    2) once call has started, hit the little house symbol to go back to home screen and you won't hang up on people!!
    3) once call is over, you can verify call stopped by sliding that top icon like line down that has all the symbols etc at the top of the screen and it will show a green phone if current call hasn't disconnected yet and you can hang up call yourself (like when other person has call waiting and it didn't disconnect your call when they switched over)...
    Hope this makes sense and helps!! It was my life saver when my mom thought I was the one hanging up on her... lol

    jnt - thank you for your original post.  Don't be discouraged by the handful of people who have to make a personal comment much of the time.  The majority of people on this forum are looking for help, a place to vent or offer assistance. 
    FYI - My phone will hang up when I am using the speakerphone and not touching the screen.  This happens much more than the occasional dropped call.

  • How do I keep the iPod Touch from people resetting it/putting it in DFU mode?

    I have iPod Touch 5th Gen. iOS 6.1.3 again.I'm having surgery this week.My question is How do I keep the iPod safe from people doing stuff like putting it in DFU mode,resetting my stuff,etc. because I don't want people to get on my stuff while I'm having 1 hour/30 minutes of surgery?
    Also,the surgery is just 1 hour/30 minutes.

    Besides locking in a safe or giving it to a trusted person, all you can do is use a complex screen-lock passcode to protect your personal information. Someone still can erase the iPod by placing in recovery mode and restoring via iTunes but they will have to enter your ID and password to use the erased iPod

  • My conference call isn't working I can hang up on people individually

    My conference call isn't working I can hang up on people individually

    I would never recommend tinyumbrella. I've had to respond to hundreds of posts from people who used it and found the it trashed the network database on their computer.
    If you can't recover using approved methods rather than hacking your phone (which is what tinyumbrella does) then you've probably got a hardware problem.
    So what should you do? First, connect it to a charger for 15 minutes. If it doesn't recognize the charger try a different one and a different cable. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold up to 1 minute. If nothing happens your phone really is broken, either a broken connector or a bad battery.
    If you DO get some response see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Of course, if you have already tried tinyumbrella this won't work until you repair the damage to your network database on your computer. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

  • After installing ios8 phone keep getting hanged. Apps are closed automatically

    Many bugs are there in ios8 update.
    After installing ios8 phone keep getting hanged. Apps are closed automatically

    ios8 for my iphone 5 = crashes, hot phone, restarts, dropped calls, funny looking fuzzy 'senior picture screen' with frost on the perimeter.....  Just opening 'message' for texts takes 3-4 seconds to load, where previously, it was milliseconds latency speeds.  I think they pressed this OS beyond the reasonable functional limit of the hardware (phones), especially with the older phones and/or phones with less memory.
    It's like an athlete on steroids, the bones can't handle the force of the muscles and something is gonna BREAK!
    When did we ever come to think that $400 phones would become 2-4 year disposable items and revere at the glory of it all!  And whether we realize it or not, it's being shoved down our throats.
    Just fix the OS please so my phone can work for me as it has in the past.
        For the $$ being paid out, we shouldn't have to reset, restart, restore......

  • 10.6.8 Finder keeps crashing/hanging

    Hi.
    I'm running 10.6.8, Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon. (purchased June 2007)
    Problems started about a month or so ago when my finder crashed a few times, and my external HD dismounted. This happened a few times, then my ex HD totally fried (corrupted)
    Then my computer (sans ex HD) totally froze. Usually I would leave it on for days - and when I came to work one morning the screen saver had frozen.
    I tried to hard restart, but the screen just loaded to grey - but I could move the curser.
    I called my techie who went through diagnostics and eventually came up with the idea that it was a faulty video card, which was replaced, unfortunately with a faulty one! which created lines across the screen. (before I had NO visual probs on my screen) Yet another one was replaced but the finder keeps crashing.
    It can be trying to empty the trash - and the trash progress bar just hangs - or the wheel of death comes up. I can still access my programmes but nothing on the desktop etc.
    I have bought a new Ex HD and sometimes when I'm accessing it the finder will hang - or I'll get the wheel of death, having to hard restart each time.
    I have sent my machine in to the techies and had a clean reinstall of the system - and got it back a few hours ago - and it's started again!
    So far today (all within a few hours)
    1. Freehand crashed on start - had to restart computer in order for it just to open.
    2. I've noticed sometimes on restart I don't hear the chime.
    3. Entourage crashed
    4. Wheel of death on Finder - tried to relaunch but then said: Finder not found x2
    5.Copying from ex HD and coping hanging - finder crashed - wouldn't realauch - had to hard restart
    I have tried to delete the finder prefs and relaunch but that didn't seem to make a diff.
    By the way - a few months ago - I got a brand new RAM installed and my external HD works fine on my laptop with no probs at all??
    Please may someone help me or give me some advice on a solution - it would be really appreciated!
    Thanks

    I will be phoning them first thing in the morning! Thank you.
    Do you think it could have something to do with my extrenal HD? As the Finder freezes/hanging to happen majority when I have it mounted? But it seems to work fine on my MacPro Book with not a signal crash etc (touch wood!) Could it be the port o something? Sorry, clutching at straws
    I've also got another internal drive installed for my Time Machine backup - but have never had a prob with that.

  • Alter database ... keep identity hangs

    Does anyone know what could cause the "alter database recover to logical standby keep identity" statement to hang waiting on "MRP wait on archivelog arrival"? I have executed this exact statement in the past on another physical standby and it went through fine.
    I ran "exec dbms_logstdby.build" on the primary db (Linux 11.1.0.7), did a couple of log switches and then canceled the recovery process on the physical standby and executed the alter database...keep identity statement but the alter statement hung indefinitely on the standby db. It was always waiting to receive the current log file from the primary db.
    Thanks.

    Ogan, thanks for your response.
    All the archived logs appeared to have been applied so I'm not sure what "necessary archivelogs" are left to copy and apply. I could not find any archive gap. Any idea what may be the issue from the output (RAC primary -> physical standby) you requested? thanks.
