IOS8 - stop iPhone missed calls alerts appearing on iPad?

This is driving me nuts... Every time I open my iPad in the lock screen are message about missed calls on my iPhone.
First... WHY!!!!!???!!!!
Second... How do I turn this 'feature' off? Now. Please.

RexRox, I guess it depends on your perspective.
I appreciated that the feature was on by default after the update since it meant that I didn’t have to do anything to start using it. I was also aware of it because, before I updated my device, I took the time to read the information that Apple put on their web site that explained what new features were being introduced with the new OS and I learned how they would affect me. Also, I don’t think Apple is aware of how everyone configures their devices. In your case your devices, as well as your wife’s, share the same Apple IDs for iCloud services. Most people would keep those separate I think.
I understand your motive was to share Calendars and Contacts but you can share editable calendars amongst separate iCloud accounts.
iCloud: Calendar sharing overview
Also, the new Family Sharing feature actually creates a shared Family calendar by default when it is set up.

Contacts, on the other hand, aren’t sharable, would be nice if they were, but it is very easy to send contact cards to another person using share sheets.
There is a workaround involving creating another iCloud account just for Contact sharing. You can read about it here: http://www.macworld.com/article/2013415/how-to-share-family-contacts.html
Of course, as I said, your perspective is different and Apple provides a way for you to express your point of view.

  • IPHONE 6 Missed Calls Alerts???

    In Iphone 6 or in IOS 8, Is there any option to have missed calls alerts like message alerts?
    Also it has alert battery is full charged?
    MA

    Hi Chris,
    I'm a pretty experienced user and have Allow Notifications On and Alerts (rather than banners) On. I expect that to show an alert when I get a call. I have a 5S and I am running 8.1. I've reset (and hard reset) the phone multiple times. I've upgraded the OS too.
    Here's what happens: I'm at work, the phone is plugged in, the Mail app is open, I can see the screen.
    Then, while I'm on the land line, the iPhone rings but I can't answer it. After the caller hangs up, there is no alert on the screen.  I think there should be.
    This gets worse when instead of being in the office, I step out for one minutes, the iPhone rings and I don't hear it because I'm talking,  I come back in o office, glance at phone which is still unlocked and still open in the Mail app (could be any app), and there's no indication of a missed call beyond the badge changing (from 11 to 12 say).  I've missed important calls this way.
    Not sure when this alert behavior changed. Before IOS8 I think.

  • Io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    my son had this problem.  I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone..  They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them.  I did.  They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon.  There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off.  I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
    I hope this helps.

    After upgrading to iOS8, I noticed whenever I get a phone call from my iPhone (regular call, not Facetime), my iPad Air rings.
    How can I turn this feature OFF ? It's annoying having 2 devices ring at the same time.

    Settings>FaceTime>iPhone Cellular Calls>Off.

  • 8330 Missed call alerts

    Anyone know of a program like Blackberry Alerts that will work with Verizon 8330 Curve? Handango says not compatible. I downloaded one off of handmark that seems pretty pointless.
    I am looking for audible missed call alerts.
    Thanks!

    Unless they show up on your online account, probably not. Not on the missed calls anyway. The sms should come through once you turn on your phone or get into coverage area.

  • E55 timings of "missed call" alerts

    Hi there,
    I was just wondering, when I miss say two or more calls from the same person, is there any way to see at what times did I miss EACH of their calls?
    I know it sounds crazy but I notice when this happens, the Log only shows me the time-stamp from the last call I missed from that person.
    I remember on my old 6230i that there was an option that showed the "Time of Call" for each event on my log - don't see this anymore on the E55.
    Or am I missing something?
    TX!!

    1) Is there an app, either free or pay, that I can get that will give me audible alerts to missed calls? (at say a specified time interval)
    No, and based on the way apps access phone functions (via dial-URLs), don't expect one.
    2) If no legal app is available, is there a app available if I hack the phone?
    Perhaps, but this is not the forum for that line of discussion.
    3) If 1 and 2 are not an option, what is the policy of at&t to switch from this "phone" to another phone? (I've been with att for 8 years, don't want to drop them, just need a different phone if I can't get audible alerts)
    If you purchased the iPhone with the subsidy from AT&T, you'll have to pay full retail price for a replacement phone (unless you purchased it less than 30 days ago - then, return it and pay the restocking fee).

  • Missed call alerts?

    Is there any way to set up alerts on the Kin two?  If i missed a call or a message when it came through my old Verizon phone would beep periodically to let me know I missed something. Anything like his availableon the Kin two? 
    Thanks

    Have the 2m for 2 weeks now,and to my knowledge from having the phone and reading other posts and reviews,there is no message/missed call or new voice mail reminder.Which is kinda odd but its one of those little issues  about the phone that you have to live with.

  • IPhone Cellular Calls not appearing in Settings menu

    Today, the iPhone Cellular Call feature completely disappeared on both my iPhone (5s) and my MacBook Pro (Early 2011). It had been working ever since I upgraded to both Yosemite and iOS 8.1, but now it simply doesn't work anymore. I went into the Preferences menu of FaceTime on my Mac, and the checkbox for iPhone Cellular Calls was gone. After restarting the Mac, it was there again, checked like I had left it. Unfortunately, I had no such luck after restarting my iPhone. The Cellular Call feature is supposed to be located under Settings -> FaceTime, but it's not there, and I've restarted the phone three times trying to get it to reappear like it did on my Mac.
    Both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, though the Mac recently had some network connectivity issues that I resolved by disconnecting and then reconnecting. I did the same on my iPhone just in case.
    It is worth noting that I am still able to receive SMS messages on the Mac, but cannot send.
    EDIT: Also, Wi-Fi Calls are disabled under Settings -> Phone, as I was told they should be.

    It appears I'm now in. What I had to do was sign out of iCloud on both Macs and then sign back in again. I'm a little confused as to why I have seemingly got two email addresses for the same iCloud account. One is my personal email account and the other is the @icloud.com email account. I am still able to sign in to iCloud with my personal one though?!

  • Unread texts / missed call alerts x3-02

    hi,
    Have not had a Nokia for over 10 years and am beginning to remember why...
    I have just bought an X3-02 and am missing so many text messages, not returning missed calls etc.  How can I programme this *** phone so that the phone rings every x minutes when I receive a text or a missed call? I'm often in meetings at work and unless I have my phone under my nose I don't see/hear a missed message. I've tried to download "remind me" from the Ovi store, but of course it's not compatible with my phone.  Please help, I'm going crazy trying to find a solution. This phone is going to finish at the bottom of a lake very soon if you can't help.

    Hi,
    With the option "Light effects" turned on, when I receive an SMS message, but I miss it first time around, the keyboard light slowly turns on and off. So if I leave my phone on my desk at work, when I come back, the lighting effects allow me to see if a message is there. I guess this also works for missed calls, but I haven't had any missed calls yet !
    Actually, I too was frustrated that there is no reminder option. But I find this method of reminding better. My phone doesn't beep now all the time I miss a message, which suits me better, as in the office I work in, that is annoying for everyone else.
    The lighting effects work for me, and I'm happy with the X3.

  • Missed call alerts application

    Hi . I just bought this in the itunes store, has any one used this? There is apparently an issue with older firmware 2.2 or something. But we have the latest 3.1.2 on my phone though.

    Unless they show up on your online account, probably not. Not on the missed calls anyway. The sms should come through once you turn on your phone or get into coverage area.

  • HT201401 How to stop iphone from calling people randomly day and night

    My phone keeps going to voice control and calling random people nigh ad day ań idk how to fix this can u guys plz help me

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Remove apps from the Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    2. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    3. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    4. Restore with your backup.
    5. Restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.
