Iphone 5 giving short vibrator pulses while talking, no emails, texts, or notifications received.

While I'm having a conversation with someone, my I 5 will give a short vibrator pulse every few seconds, and I won't have received any emails, texts, other calls, or any notifications of any kind. There doesn't seem to be any apparent reason for it, I've seen questions from others about the phone vibrating when they receive a text or an email while they are talking, but none about getting random vibrator pulses for no apparent reason. It doesn't seem to be specific to any type of number either (toll free, long distance etc.). Does anyone know why thid happens?

Hey Sderbawka1,
Thanks for the question. Let’s see if we can isolate this issue further. Does restarting or resetting your iPhone resolve the issue?:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If not, the next applicable step will be to backup and restore your device:
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)

Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Thanks,

HT4528 how do i stop my iphone 4 from doing random commands while talking on calls via the touch screen? Can i lock the screen while talking?

The iPhone has a proximity sensor located on the top of the phone near the earphone speaker that is supposed to automatically turn off the screen when it is close to your face while on a call, to prevent that very thing from happening. If your phone isn't doing that, try cleaning your screen. Also, if you put a screen protector on your phone made for a different model it may lack the cut-out that is supposed to keep it from blocking the sensor. Try removing your screen protector to see if that helps. If it does, get another screen protector.

Iphone 4 how to lock screen while talking?

I just got an iphone 4 white (Verizon). I haven't seen this problem posted in a while but I'm having a terrible time while making a call, I'm constantly bumping buttons with my face while on a call which can lead to muting, dropped calls, etc.
I do have an Otterbox Defender. Is this messing with the sensor? Either way there must be some way around this because I need a case and can't be taking it off each time I get a call. I've tried the lock/sleep button on the top and that drops the call (unless you're on speaker).
What is the fix? Do I have a defective phone?
Thanks for any help!

this is a pic of my case. So what should I do? Thanks a lot!!!

IPhone 4 does not recognize my password to send email, but does to receive? How to fix?

Error message:
CANNOT SEND MAIL
The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]@smtpauth.earthlink.net" is incorrect.
However, I am able to receive email using that user name or password.
What is the problem..??

please don't provide any personal data like emailaddresses, as this is a public forum, accessible to anyone.

Good luck

With iOs 7 and the iPhone can someone use the phone while also using a communication app such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These are text to speech systems for people who cannot speak well. Thanks you!

My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

My emails aren't being received by my new iPhone?

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a 5s. Now my new emails aren't being received. This is crucial for work. Thanks for any help

Hi kate556,
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3899
Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
Try a different Wi-Fi connection
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Iphone 4: while talking, phone automatically switches onto facetime and at other times when talking the sound "beep beep" is heard and disconnects from call?

How can you lock the screen on iPhone in iOS 7 while talking on the phone?

I am struggling to figure out how to lock the screen of my iPhone 5 during a phone call. In iOS 6, I was able to push the top "on/off" button to lock the screen. In iOS 7, I am able to do this ONLY while using the speakerphone. If I push this button while talking on the phone regularly or using a headphone, it ends the call rather than locking the screen.
I have found that I am muting calls and disconnecting calls accidentially with my "face" while holding the phone b/c the screen is so sensitive. Does anyone know a way around this?

I dont know of a way round this, but im having the same issue of puttig people on hold when putting the phone up to my ear.
This was an issue with the iphone 4 years ago and apple had to do an update to cure it

How to stop text notification while talking on iphone 5 s

How do I stop text notifications while talking on the iphone 5s? The text notifications volume is louder in my ear than the conversation I am having

I was hoping for a solution in the settings instead of having to remember to move the silent switch position each time. But thank you

Why can't I open my texts while talking on iPhone 4s?

I have always been able to access my text messages while having a conversation on my old iPhone 3GS
I have a iPhone 4s now but if I m talking on
Phone & need to access my text messages, it won't lete open any text messages
Any ideas why?

I found this on another forum and it worked:
Go to the iCloud settings and turn it on for your calendar (and contacts if you're having trouble with that as well, because I was).
I was immediately able to create events and contacts after that. Once you've turned on iCloud for those apps and they've been fixed, you can shut it off again and shouldn't have any trouble.

Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone. Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue. We can only hear every other word.

Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone? Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue. We can only hear every other word of the person we are talking to. This happens at home, on the road and in the downtown area while calling both cellphones and landlines. It is intermittent, so we don't know exactly when it will reoccur. Absolutely no problem with data. The data speed is great.

How to view/send picture text while talking on iphone

I've updated my iPhone 4S to try correcting the inability to receive/send pics while talking on phone but to no avail. What should I do next?

If you are in the U.S. and your carrier is Verizon or Sprint, you can't access the internet while on a call with their network. MMS with the iPhone requires cellular data. You can send/receive an iMessage when on a call while the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

My son had the same problem with his 4 after updateing to 5.1.1. Apple would not replace it and he ended up getting a re-furb for £119.00.
He was 100% sure it was the upgrade that caused it but apple said it was the motherboard.
