Ignoring incoming calls

When my phone is in sleep mode and I get an incoming call, is there an ignore feature or trick I can use to ignore the call and stop it from ringing? I have the feature to ignore if I'm using the phone and it rings but not when it is in sleep mode. I have the new 3G model.
Thank you

So, what if this feature doesn't work??? I mean I've read on the Apple support page, that pressing the Hold button twice will decline the call and a 2 seconds' hold of the Mic button on the headset will do that too... But all that works for my iPhone 2G (firmware 2.1) is the Mic trick, the other one sends the phone to full silence, though still receiving the call. Did anyone see something like this? I know for sure that the Hold button trick works just fine on a 3G iPhone with firmware 2.2. Help?! pleease

  • Can't ignore incoming call

    When I get an incoming call I can not drag the puzzle piece to the red puzzle piece to ignore the call. It only allows me to drag it to the green puzzle piece to accept the call. I have to wait till the call quits ringing to continue whatever I was doing on the phone. I have tried hard and soft resets because of screen timeout issues I am having, but I still can not use the ignore feature on calls. Sometimes I get an actual ignore and answer button for incoming calls and they work. Does anyone know how to switch to those all the time and get rid of the puzzle pieces?

    On my phone, there's an empty puzzle piece that I drag my selection into.  So, if I want to ignore, I drag the ignore puzzle piece into the empty gray space.
    As for when the puzzle vs. buttons appear, when your phone is inactive, the puzzles appear.  When you're actively using your phone, you get the buttons.
    You could swap from the puzzles to the sliding glass option to see if that helps you any.  You can change that by going into the display settings under Sound and display and selecting the Unlock screen option.  Doing this will change your answering options from the puzzles to a sliding option.  You will have the green answer and the red reject sliding icons that you slide across the screen.  Maybe this will work for you?  There's also a third option to ignore the call with a message or something like that.  It won't give you an option to silence the call (make it stop ringing), but your volume button will take care of that, so there's really no reason for it.
    Hope that helps.

  • Ignore incoming calls occasionally not working

    I've run into odd behavior that happens intermittently on the Tour device.
    An incoming call comes in. The user presses the red key to "ignore" the call. The incoming call temporarily halts, but then resumes ringing the phone. Pressing the red "ignore" key again yields the same results. This happens maybe 1 in 5 incoming calls. The rest of the time the red "ignore" key works as it should - rejecting the call.
    Is this a known issue in the Tour? Is there a patch or work around?

    The Network Preference is checked, to Notify me of incoming calls while connected to the internet.

  • Pre Ignore Incoming Call When Locked

    On the Palm Pre there is not a way to ignore an incoming call when the phone is locked. 
    Can this be added to the next OS update? 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Press the power button to ignore calls when phone is locked.

  • Way to disable vibrate for a specific contact's incoming calls only?

    My iPhone is not jailbroken, so I am unable to use iBlacklist to black or ignore incoming calls. So instead I've edited the contact in question to have a silent ringtone.
    However, in general I prefer to have both ring and vibration on for all incoming calls, since I'm often in loud areas where I can't hear the ringtone.
    But the reason that I want to block this particular contact is because it calls me at all sorts of weird hours, thus the vibration wakes me up. So not being able to disable vibration for this contact in addition to the ringtone is a problem for me.
    Is there any way that I can not only make the ringtone silent, but also disable vibration for this specific contact - and only this contact? Perhaps some app, or a setting that I'm unaware of?

    Check with your carrier. Many have the ability to block calls from certain numbers. Many do have a cost associated with them though.

  • How do you ignore an incoming call?

    Now, I swear I thought there was an "answer call" and "ignore call" button that would appear when an incoming call, but all I have is "slide to answer" at the bottom. Is there a setting I fooled around with?

    You're right.. you do have to slide and that answers the cal.
    So, if you're iPhone is in "lock" or sleep mode, just press the Sleep/Wake button up top when you wish to ignore the call.
    Press once to silence the ring and ignore.
    Press it twice to send the call to voicemail

  • My iPhone is not automatically ignoring random incoming calls. Any help?

    So I have the iPhone 4 and it has been having the tendency of ignoring phone calls. But I don't even get a notification for a missed call. I have no idea that the call even took place unless the person leaves a voicemail or if they tell me later. It is just getting really frustrating. It also happens randomly. It's happened in the middle of the day, it's happened late at night, it just happens all the time. I don't know what the problem could be. Any suggestions?

    Your phone is not ignoring them... You service is lacking.  So when the caller has dialed you and the phone is ringing, if the service provider doesn't locate your phone, you just get a v-mail.

  • I have installed a ringtone but phone does not ring on incoming calls

    I Have an Iphone 4S, it came with vibration set as default ringtone, I changed the ringtone but the phone does not ring on incoming calls, What is wrong?

    Also, you may want to do a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appers, so that everything is reset.

  • Using answer-address in dial-peer when it has incoming called number

    Hello,
    We would like to use an inbound dial peer that will match by the Calling Number using answer-address.
    In our current configuration we already have inbound dial peers with "incoming called number" for Fax2Mail services.
    We want to use the calling number for matching to a different dial peer, without the "fax detect" service.
    As we notice, as soon as he matching the incoming called number, even if have identical dial peer with the same incoming called number, he stop the matching processes and the gateway ignore the answer-address.
    Is there any way to match the dial peer by Calling Number even if he have the incoming called number field?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    in the Inbound Dial-peer matching process, the 'incoming called-number' has the highest priority over asnwer- address & destination pattern. So if you want to match a particular inbound dial-peer based on calling number, add only asnwer-address and don't configure incoming-called number on the same dial-peer.

  • Incoming calls not able to be answered

    Since upgrading to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4S I can't answer incoming calls when my phone is plugged into my car's USB port (Honda Fit). When the phone rings and I try to answer it, nothing happens. It shows the usual screen but when I try to slide the bar to answer it doesn't move, or if I hit the button on the top of the phone to ignore the call that doesn't work either. Even if I unplug the phone from the car's USB connection while it is ringing the phone remains frozen until the incoming call has gone to voicemail. I never had this kind of problem before the upgrade to iOS 6. Does anyone know why this happens or what I can do?

    Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem - except with the iphone 5. I can't hear the phone ring when it's plugged into the USB in my car stereo, and my phone freezes and I can't answer the calls. I try to hit the accept button to take the call, but nothing happens. I also can't hear Siri when it's plugged into the car stereo. When I had my iphone 4, I could hear the phone ring through the car stereo and I was able to answer the calls and talk to the person while it was still plugged in. 

  • Voicemail message doesn't pick up incoming call.

    I have version 6.13 of Skype.
    I call my number.  The computer responds and I have the option to Accept or Decline.  I let it ring.  Skype then stops at 20 seconds and does nothing else.  My phone keeps ringing and ringing and my voicemail doesn't pick up.
    I call again.  The computer responds and I have the option to Accept or Decline.  I select Decline.  Skype stops ringing.  My phone keeps ringing and ringing and my voicemail doesn't pick up.
    My voicemail is set up to answer after 20 seconds.  It is also set up for voicemail to pick up if I am already in a call and/or if I reject an incoming call.
    I use my phone for work and I need for voicemail to pick up, so I can call back and they don't think I am ignoring them!
    I don't have call forwarding turned on or "follow me" configured (whatever that means). 
    Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

    I've been having the same problem for ages, but today finally resolved it.
    Warning: I use a Mac, but could not find a thread for a Mac Skype community - so I hope what I did helps all of you who are having problems with Voice Mail.
    This is what I did: I set my online status to ONLINE, which on the Mac is an icon in the menu bar at the top of the screen (normally I set my status to INVISIBLE when I'm online). I also made sure in my preferences that calls will be sent to voice mail. After setting my status to ONLINE, the voice mail picked up after 4 rings, just like it used to before all the "improvements" to the app. 
    I also found that my voice mail message was truncated at the beginning. When I re-recorded it, it took an extra moment for the record function to actually kick in, so I had to fuss with it for awhile before getting a satisfactory recording.
    I hope this helps!

  • Incoming calls not showing when i'm on a call

    when i am on the phone and a new call comes in, it give me the tone for an incoming call, but the screen just says "Multiple Calls" and doesn't show the new caller.  There's no way to answer the incoming call (I no longer get the Ignore buttons) and the new call doesn't show in my Missed Calls log.
    this is a new problem that just started recently.
    Any advice?
    I'm on an Iphone 4s version 6.1.2
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I am having this exact same problem. I sure do wish someone would answer this! I can't find a solution anywhere.

  • Blocked Incoming Calls & Hotmail Issue

    First of all, I would like to thank JCG02 for answering my questions; this is my first time to use Iphone and use this communities. Acturally JCG02 was completely right, I should mark it as correct; I thought helpful was more accurate because the answer helped me....thank you very much.
    Right now I got some other questions:
    1. I found I got two missed blocked phone; but I did not block any incoming call, how did it happened and how I could remove the blocking function?
    2. I would like to check my emails on my phone, I had two email addresses in the phone, how I manage them, so far, I could not read any emails on my phone yet and how to check different mail box if you have more than two email addresses?
    Thank you very much

    it just means someone has decided not to show his/her number when calling you. not much you can do about it. someone has done the same to me..although the number isn't blocked--they just don't say anything (started when I got my new number). contacted ATT and they said they can't block specific numbers so all you can do is answer it or ignore it really. hope an iphone update in the future will allow you to block certain numbers.

  • 3GS wont stop vibrating after incoming call in cars bluetooth device.

    Hi there.
    Every time i have an incoming call in my car using bluetooth, my iphone wont stop vibrating until I either switch it off in the settings or reboot the iphone.
    This is a bit of a pain.
    Does anyone have any idea on why its doin this?
    The bluetooth reciever is built into my Ford Focus. Hopefully its not a compatibility issue.
    Many Thanks!!!

    Definitely not normal behavior. Try a reset. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt). Else, perform a Restore (from backup so no data are lost).

  • Call dropped by new incoming call

    Quite often when I am in the middle of a Lync voice call a new incoming call comes in and causes the live call to be instantly dropped before the incoming call can be ignored.
    This does not happen all the time but does happen several times per week and is very frustrating.
    What could the issue be?

    Hi,
    Please check if there is any error message on Mediation Server when the issue happen again.
    You can try to update Lync Server 2013 to the latest version and then test again.
