Is It just me? answering calls with Q

Is It just me ? I don't have huge fingers... but when i go to answer a call i end up pressing the Q key , assuming i have answered the call , put the phone to my ear.. then deafen myself with my own ringer... then try to delete Q to answer the call... soloution: how to remap Q to answer calls ( only when phone is ringing so i think the regular keychanger won't work ) ? surely i am not alone ?

The iPhone battery is generally very good; even when using MobileMe with Push enabled, etc.
BUT; once you add a Microsoft Exchange account & leave Push enabled, you could probably watch the battery drain like a sewer right after a heavy rain storm.
OK, what you are seeing is a problem with your phone, not a general problem with the iPhone or any specific release. Most of the time my phone gets excellent battery life with Exchange Push enabled. Occasionally (a couple of times a year) I suddenly see a heavy battery drain with Push on. I've seen it with every release of iPhone software since Activesync was added. I've concluded that something is broken when this happens. An IT admin in the forum posted about a year ago that he saw many open connections to phones of users when they were reporting this problem. He rebooted the Exchange server and the problem went away for a while. As most of us don't have that option I've found a couple of ways to fix it on the phone. One or more of them has always worked for me.
1. Reset Network Settings on the phone and reboot.
2. Go into Mail,Contacts,Calendar, tap on the Exchange account and turn off all 3 functions. Then reboot, go back and turn them on.
If these don't fix it what I do is go into Settings again and delete the Exchange account. I then reboot and add it back. I then wait several hours for the account to resync (it's best to do this with a WiFi connection). When all of my email, contacts and calendar entries have reappeared I fully charge the phone and test battery life again. This sequence has always worked for me, but I have seen posts from owners who say it did not work. But most say it works.

How do I answer calls with the KITKAT update? I hit the flashing button but it's still ringing? Where are the Answer settings?

How do I answer calls with the KITKAT update? I hit the flashing button but it's still ringing? Where are the Answer settings?

Aha! Thank you!!! That was not obvious. Sometimes I don't get the green and red icons. So it's slide it to the right for answering and slide to the left for voice mail.

Unable to answer calls with 3.0 OS

I posted this problem before with the 2.1 firmware here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1722193
It appears to be even worse with 3.0, for me anyway. I just upgraded to 3.0 and out of my first 5 calls with it I had a hard time answering 4 of them. One of them was missed altogether. The slider just refused to slide. What can I say. I was so hopeful this would be fixed. Oh well.
BTW, my "sometimes successful workaround" (change the ringer switch position) didn't seem to help.

I have had this same problem. I had back on version 2, but thought it might be related to 3G phone being jailbroken. New 3GS does the same thing. Appears to happen mostly when the ringer is off. Sometimes the slider will move but everything stops with that, phone will not "pick up".
I also have used the same "sometimes workaround" flipping the ringer switch back and forth.

Answering calls with Pixi. Drag button unreliable

Is there any other way to answer calls on the Pixi aside from dragging the onscreen green icon? I have missed too many calls because the green drag button either freezes or goes away.

If I'm not mistaken [and it's late, so I might not be remembering properly], you can accept a phone call by sliding your phone open. Not sure if that was something I had to turn on. I know that if it's already open instead of the drag thing you get simple green and red buttons on the pop-up. Try sliding it open on your next call. There's also an option for ending a call by sliding the phone shut--I keep that off as I like to switch it depending on what I'm doing.

C3-00 answering calls only with headset

Hi,
I don't know what happens, but know I only can answer calls with the headset on. Eventhough headset is not plug, the phone acts like if it was. The headset icon always appears in the screen. I just tried to restart the phone. I took the battery off and when the phone restart the icon is not there, as soon as I plug the headset, the icon appears and it continues there til I turn off the phone and start everything again.
If somebody know how to fix this up, pls let me know.
Thank you.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sounds like your device is not working like it should. Try restoring factory settings by typing *#7780*. This will boot the SW, but will not delete any files from the phone. But just make it sure I advice making a back up with Ovi suite > Tools > Back up.
You can also try to reinstall the SW with Ovi suite > Software update > reinstall SW.
If the issue still persist, try to format phone with the code *#7370#. This will erase the phone memory, so make a back up first!
The last option unfortunately is to take it to the nearest Nokia Care point.
If the answer solves your issue, please click the ACCEPT AS SOLUTION button so other users can benefit from it as well. Giving a kudos (the white star) if my answer has helped will be appreciated.

Why can't I answer a call with speaker on?

iPhone 6; iOS 8.1.
Generally when I'm at home I want to answer calls with the speaker on, but I don't see any way to do this [see note below]. Instead, I have to slide to answer, wait 1-3 seconds for the audio button to appear (bluetooth is enabled), and then touch "Speaker". In the interval, the caller hears nothing while perhaps saying, "Hello? Hello?". So if I want to converse with speaker on, I have to say, "Hold on" first, touch Audio and then Speaker.
Note: I generally do NOT want to answer with speaker on when I'm away from home. There is a setting that I could theoretically use when departing and when returning home. The setting requires: touch Settings, touch General, touch Accessibility, scroll down, touch Call Audio Routing, and touch either Automatic (when leaving home), or Speaker (when returning). That is not only too onerous, but I'm likely to forget to do it anyway.
Am I overlooking a way to answer with speaker on? If not, wouldn't it be easy enough for Apple to put an appropriate button to do this on the incoming-call screen?

Thank you for the info and links. I never actually read anything from Apple about Hebrew not being supported. Since I was able to use other languages, of seemingly greater complexity, I assumed that Hebrew would work. The patch I was speaking of (that makes Hebrew song titles, etc readable) is actually not a hack. It was developed by a student in an Israeli university and purchased by Apples regional distributor (Yeda Inc., Apple's Israeli distributor). The software is called iPodHE.

http://www.yakv.net/nextcantor/2006/09/03/getting-hebrew-on-your-ipod-a-guide-fo r-the-english-speaking-mac-user/
I did read somewhere that they are working with Apple to resolve a conflict with the latest version of iTunes and iPodHE v2.0.
Maybe this will be useful to someone.
Thanks again for your help.

Accept call with keyboard

On a Q10 I need to answer calls with at least one key not with a touch gesture. How can I do this?

Problem with the gesture? Hmmm... let me think:
1. I have 35 physical keys yet I have to swipe to accept/reject a call;
2. Touch display is sensitive to moisture, sweat, dirt - sometimes - I can't accept/reject a call with wet hands (or gloves). No summer/winter use for me;
3. Key press = action with feedback in one step (you know, that's why I have Q10 instead of Z10), while gesture means several steps: check call, swipe, swipe again, rub you hand with your shirt, swipe again, swear, swipe, exhale, call and explain that the phone was out of reach. Ok, not every time, just, annoyingly, that several times when it matters;
4. Basic functionality of a phone should be to call, answer and reject connections in the easiest, most ergonomically way - this is not the case. It looks like a modem card plugged into a PC and with a full keyboard you still have to use software buttons to make it work.
5. Ok, it is so cool to swipe but, please, preserve the traditional functionality of a keyboard. While I was typing this message I struggled a lot with selecting text for eliminate misspelled words, while a trackpad would have been more appropriate for this.
6. Should I extend this to Speed dial issue?

Can't make and answer calls using handset. But just works fine with speaker

I have a Blackberry Curve 9630 ,
I can't make or answer calls from the handset. Caller is able to hear
me when call is picked up but I can't hear them. I can only make or answer
the call using speaker option. And works fine this way. Have tried re-booting
but doesn't work. Never experience this before and phone was working
perfectly right up to this morning. All otheres like BBM, Email, SMS, apps,
are working fine.
Appreciate a quick reply on the same. Thank you.

Can you test playing music through the BlackBerry and see if it is audible through both the speaker and the earpiece?

Is there a way to answer the 5c without swiping? It really is a pain and hard to do at times one handed. Maybe allow favorites to be answered with a click of the home button or possibly all calls with a home button push

Hi Apple_Mom,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've noticed issues after updating to iOS 7.0.2, you may want to first update to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released.

I know the iphone 4s can turn off the vibrate for all sounds, but is there a way to keep the vibration on for just phone calls (with the ringtone also on) but off for everything else?

My FaceTime doesn't work... I would call a person, they would accept, and then I would be stuck in a never ending "connecting".. And this problem has been according with not just my ipad, but with other people's iDevices that I know.

-My wifi connection is running strong
-All the devices run the same version of iOS

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer. I hung up because I don't believe Mac uses Microsoft Window Operating System - right?

This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer. I hung up because Mac doesn't use Microsoft Window Operating System - right? I have Mac OS X. I have loaded Microsoft Office 2011. Can that allow something malicious or is this guy a scammer and I was right to hang up???

Actually you can install Windows on your MBP via Bootcamp.
You should have kept the individual on the phone for as long as you can tolerate. The time he wastes with you is time he cannot spend scamming an innocent victim.
You can always politely ask the caller to hold while you 'answer the front door' or the like and just set down the phone and go about your business. The caller will eventually hang up.
But your analysis was 100% correct.
Ciao.

How can I have a call with someone from Customer Support if I live in Costa Rica? I have forgotten the answers to my security questions and basically I can't buy anything on iTunes. I do not have a rescue email account otherwise I won't be writing here.

I have been trying to fix this by myself but I gave up! I don't remember the answers I provided before. Tried to have a call with apple support but it seems that this is not an option if you live in Costa Rica. How am I supposed to spend the credit I have in my apple account?
Thank you... Pura vida!

As Costa Rica isn't on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
then try contacting Support via this form and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see how they reply : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 .
