Iphone 5s - slider wont slide when receiving call.  What do I do???

Hi -
Both my mom and I have 2 week old iPhone 5s'.
Both of us have had issues where it is often difficult to answer incoming calls.  Its as if the slider is broken.  I can often get the slider to slide, thus answering the call, right before it goes to voice mail.  However, often it wont slide at all and the call goes to VM.
While researching this, I was somewhat surprised to see that people have beem complaining about this issue since at least the iphone 4.
Please note that the touch pads on both phones seem to work perfectly.  I have played many games on my phone with no problems at all.
Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated....
Thanks,
Mike       
PS My phone was patched to 7.03 last night,,,,and the other one has the second update.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       ,

  • Is anyone having problems with iPhone 5 not vibrating properly when receiving calls? It seems to vibrate once and stops?

    When receiving a call, my phone only vibrates once even if its on silent or not. I have checked all the settings and all appears ok. It works sometimes and doesn't other times. Does anyone know how this can be fixed?
    Thanks

    Maybe your buzzer gets stuck when it vibrates? Try playing it by creating a custom vibration. Does it keep working properly then?
    If that works, try setting up another vibration that should be played when someone calls you.

  • Iphone 4S wont make or receive calls

    Alright, so the other night my Iphone was factory restored because it was locked in rocovery mode. I restored it from backup and updated to IOS 7.0.3 and it wont make or receive calls - it says call ended immediately when i dial a number no ringtone no answering machine. I've tried resetting the network settings, restoring from backup (again), and to make things worse my lock button has been broken for months - i haven't had the money for a replacement power sensor strip. Any ideas what i should try to do to fix it? Or do I need to try Factory Restore again? Oh and my 3G works just fine and I can send and receive texts. And its not JailBroken as a final note.

  • Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

    Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
    During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call.  So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of.  Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message.  Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message. 

    Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

  • IPhone continuity - silent switch no effect on iPad when receiving calls

    Hi Apple,
    I love continuity, especially for calls.
    would be great to transfer the status of the silent switch on iphone to ipad/mac -> when iphone is on silent it also mutes ipad/mac, so when receiving calls the ipad/mac doesn't ring!
    Or at least give the user to have an option in settings.
    thanks for looking into this.

  • My iphone 5 for some reason can receive calls, send & receive texts but can not call out

    My iphone 5 for some reason can receive calls, send & receive texts but can not call out

    I am not sure if this issue is going to help you but lets give it a try.
    I know that where im from, which is the Netherlands, I am not able to sent e-mails from my iPhone or any other mobile device by using 3G or a random WIFI acces point. The provider only allowes you to sent e-mails when you are connected to a network of there own. Which means if you have provider "101" and your email settings are set up for this provider in your iPhone but your using the network of a friend of yours which is provider "202" you cannot sent emails from his network. Though you can receive them you may not sent.
    As I said, I am not aware if this issue is the same for you totaly depents on the country and provider your using.

    my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?

    I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed.  So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

  • Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name.

    Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name. Hard to know who is calling/texting! A few times I've tapped on the text message icon and I can actually watch as the conversations turn from showing just numbers to the contact names. Same thing when looking at call history and voice mail- sometimes it shows numbers and then I'll go back and the contacts will be back. So frustrating!

    -I have tried using *228 to update.
    You don't dial *228 to update the Preferred Roaming List on 4G phones; I"m surprised the call went through.  The PRL updates are handled by the SIM card. 
    Try this and see if it helps:  turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, and wait a few minutes.  Then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and give the phone a few minutes to re-establish a network connection.

  • I have an iPhone 5.  always before when i called someone..or they called me the picture of them would take up the whole screen.  I LOVED it!  I could see it.  Since the last update it is just a little "bubble" in the upper right hand corner.  Can i change

    Hi  I have an IPhone 5.  Always before when I called someone...or they called  and I had a pic set up for them in my contact list..... it would pop up the full size of the screen.  I LOVED it!  I could actually see it.  Now...since the last update...or maybe the one b4 that.... The pic is just a little bubble that floats to the upper right hand corner.  Does anyone know if there is a way I can get that full size pic back?

    I'm sorry, there is no way to change that. It is a change with the newer iOS 7. You can provide feedback to Apple, like a large group of others have that are disappointed in this at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

    IPhone4 Upgraded to IOS 7.1.2. Photos associated with Contacts now display as thumbnail pictures when receiving calls . How do I enlarge display.

    You weren't the only one that wanted the full screen photos back. There were a lot of complaints and they are back in iOS 8 but that doesn't help you with iOS 7.1.2 unfortunately.

  • Iphone 4 doesn't ring when someone calls

    My iPhone 4 does not ring when someone calls. I have checked volume and it is turned on. Left side button is up for ring sound. Volume buttons don't do any good. I updated my phone to IOS 5.1 but no difference. Please help with this issue. Thanks

    I had the problem a few times. I had a faulty toggle switch (between vibrate and sound). I took it into the apple store, and I was covered under apple care. I walked out with a new phone, free of charge.
