Is there a way to answer Voip calls such as Bria while the phone is in locked mode?

We are using Voip Apps such as Bria and Avaya OneX portal with Voip client enabled for SIP extensions back to Avaya IP Office, the issue is that Apple will not allow the answer splash screen to pop up while the phone is in locked mode..
On a smartphone you can lock the screen (for security reasons) and to unlock you need to enter a pin or password to get access to the phone. On a native cellular call the ability to answer the call is provided on the lock screen so that the user does NOT have to unlock the phone to answer the call. What this customer/partner is complaining about is with our VoIP portion of the application when an incoming call comes in and your phone is locked you cannot answer the call until you unlock the phone.    The issue is that Apple does NOT let application developers bypass the phones locked screen. Call it security or whatever you want this is something that don’t make available. Like I mentioned other VoIP applications like Counterpath suffer from the same Operating System limitation.
So a couple things:
1.       This is not a Bug it’s an operating system limitation.
2.       If this is that key for a user the only options are to turn off the lock screen or switch to Android (which does allow this).
Totally agree with the customers complaint there just isn’t much we can do. We can try to complain to Apple again however that is not going to yield anything.
Is there any way to get around this?
Thanks,
Kelvin

I'm going to give up on Apple if they don't change this soon. It worked before, answered like a regular phone call (slide to answer). But since IOS7 i really dont like my Iphone anymore. Looking around for alternatives.

HT5622 in my phone preventing access to iCloud. Is there a way to remove it? Apple said to wipe the phone out and start over.

My iPhone 5 was set up with an Apple ID I no longer use. Neither Apple nor Hotmail recognize the e-mail address, but it is "hard wired" in my phone preventing access to iCloud. Is there a way to remove the incorrect ID? Neither the genius or Manager at the Apple Store could figure it out. They called Apple and had it escalated, but no luck. After an hour and a half the solution was wipe out the phone and start over.

Is there any way to repeat grid shuffling at constant intervals while the game is being played ?

Hello all !
With the help of some generous members of this forum i have completed an "Alphabet Clicking" game. There is a grid of alphabet
movieclips which gets shuffled when the player clicks the "Start Button". Simultaneously, a count-up timer is trigerred. Depending
on the initial choice of incentive made by the player before clicking the "Start Button" , the player will either win or lose the incentive
based on the time-limit set for each incentive.
Eg., if the player chooses an incentive of 10 $ the player may have 90 seconds to complete the game. If 50 $, then the player gets
only 20 seconds, and so on.... To make the game more thrilling and exciting, i wanted to add an additional functionality for a
very high incentive, like for example, if the player chooses an incentive of 100 $, not only that the player gets just 20 seconds
to complete the clicks, but the Grids will automatically get shuffled at every 5 second interval.The code that i am using (as guided
by kglad of this forum) is as given below. Its a perfect code, but like i said, i wish to know how to add yet one more
functionality [eg. repeated shuffle at set intervals] to this code. I tried using (a) conditional statements or (b) running the shuffle code
inside a timer etc., but they dont seem to work.
startBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, trigGame)
function trigGame(e:MouseEvent):void{
startBtn.visible = false;
var positions:Array = [new Point( 158, 296),new Point(238, 296),new Point(318, 296),
new Point( 158, 366),new Point( 238, 366),new Point( 318, 366),new Point(158, 436),
new Point( 238,436),new Point(318, 436)];
var errors:int;
var mcs:Array = [n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6,n7,n8,n9];
startF();
function startF():void{
errors=0;
shuffle(positions);
for(var i:int=0;i<positions.length;i++){
mcs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,downF);
mcs[i].x=positions[i].x;
mcs[i].y=positions[i].y;
mcs[i].alpha=1;
function downF(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(mcs.indexOf(e.currentTarget)==0 || mcs[mcs.indexOf(e.currentTarget)-1].alpha<.8){
e.currentTarget.alpha=.5;
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,downF);
if(mcs.indexOf(e.currentTarget)==mcs.length-1){
gameoverF(); startBtn.visible = true;
} else {
errors++;
function gameoverF():void{
// display congrats if errors 0 or some other low number
// when you want to restart the game, call startF().
function shuffle(a:Array) {
    var p:int;
    var t:*;
    var ivar:int;
    for (ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
        p=Math.floor((ivar+1)*Math.random());
        t = a[ivar];
        a[ivar] = a[p];
        a[p] = t;
Thanks a lot
with best regards

Sir i used your code with a slight modification (for the timer part) and it throws the following error (given at the end):
Complete Code Used (the modified part is highlighted):
var positions:Array = [new Point( 158, 296),new Point(238, 296),new Point(318, 296),

new Point( 238,436),new Point(318, 436)];
var errors:int;
var count:Number = 0;
var t:Timer = new Timer(5,0);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,ingameShuffleF);
function ingameShuffleF(event:TimerEvent):void{
          myText_txt.text = String(count);
          count++;
var mcs:Array = [n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6,n7,n8,n9];
startBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startF);
function startF():void{
t.reset();
t.start();
errors=0;
shuffleLettersF();
for(var i:int=0;i<positions.length;i++){
mcs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,downF);
mcs[i].alpha=1;
function shuffleLettersF(e:TimerEvent=null):void{
shuffle(positions);
for(var i:int=0;i<positions.length;i++){
mcs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,downF);

e.currentTarget.alpha=.5;
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,downF);
if(mcs.indexOf(e.currentTarget)==mcs.length-1){
gameoverF(); startBtn.visible = true;
} else {
errors++;
function gameoverF():void{
// display congrats if errors 0 or some other low number
// when you want to restart the game, call startF().
t.stop();
function shuffle(a:Array) {
    var p:int;
    var t:*;
    var ivar:int;
    for (ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
        p=Math.floor((ivar+1)*Math.random());
        t = a[ivar];
        a[ivar] = a[p];
        a[p] = t;
The error it throws is :
Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 25
1120: Access of undefined property downF.
line 25 is as follows :
mcs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,downF);
Thanks a lot

Is there any way to save my data after i have updated my phone and backed it up first

Is there any way to retrive or save my data after updating my phone and its locked, asking to restore to original settings in itunes.

If there is a passcode on your iPhone, which you don't know, there is no way around it. You'll have to restore factory settings. The passport is meant to protect sensitive data, and that is, what it does.

If you mean the Developer preview of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion you need to be posting this to the appropriate developer forum or AppleSeed forum. We can't help you with software that hasn't been released.
Your second question seems to be related to iTunes Match, yes? Try posting it in that forum.

Is there a way that I can call a Swing application

Hi all,
Is there a way that I can call a Swing application from html page.
fox example when user clicks on the url in html will activate a swing local application
thanks

Assuming the local swing application is running, and you have an applet in the browser that has permissions to communicate with a server other than the originating server, you could use RMI or a regular socket connection.
Due to the obvious security issues to letting javascript or an applet free access to the local machine, this is not something that a browser really supports.

Is there a way to delet one call from my

Is there a way to delect one call instead of all my call. Like I can delet one text message or even clear the conversation, but all of my other text message will be there. Can I do the same with my call list if so how?

tara_nash,
At this time, there is no way to delete just one call from the recents list. It's all or nothing.
Hope this helps,

Is there a way to answer iPhone without swiping?

I love my iPhone, but it is NOT car-friendly. Is there a way to answer an incoming call without having to swipe? Possibly tapping one of the other buttons? I have looked in the manual.
Thanks.

Well, I've been using an LG Tone. It's actually a stereo headset because I listen to a lot of music. It looks really weird but I like it a lot. I think the reason I like it is because it feels more like a "regular" headset. When driving, I just pull one side out.

Should you get one, be warned that, when the phone rings, the part that rests on your neck vibrates. Even though someone had told me about that feature, I still almost jumped out of my skin the first time it happened. .

Is there a way to get rid of (or hide) scuffs on the chamfered edge of the iPhone 5?

Hello, this is my first post on these forums! I originally purchased an iPhone 5 four or five days after the release. When I opened my phone up, the chamfered edge was very banged up and the apple logo on the back had received some major scratches. Because of this, I called Apple and informed them of my issue. They promptly sent me a new phone and I sent them my old one back. The new phone was in pristine condition (as the first should have been), and only a few days later the phone slid out of my hand and onto my MacBook Air's palm rest area that was only an inch or so below it. This one little incident cause a very large scrape on the chamfered edge of my phone, causing it to be white and stick out like a sore thumb (I have the black iPhone 5). This was an incredibly minor drop and I'm very disappointed that it was damaged as much as it was. My case is in the mail and I wasn't planning on having my phone be naked, but this seriously frustrates me considering I paid a premium for a beautiful (and supposedly durable) device. So, my question to all of you is: is there a way to get rid of (or hide) scuffs on the chamfered edge? The case I'm going to be getting will hide it, but I know that it will bring the resale value in two years way down by just having this little scuff (plus it's really ugly to even have to look at when I clean my phone after taking the case off). I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to this problem. Thanks!

Im sorry to sound negative but why on earth would any company exchange a phone that has been dropped and as a result scuffed. Its aluminium. Its a very very soft metal. Damage straight out of the box is why thing. carelessness is something completely different. As for "take it back, Apple will probably change it" ? Do you not think these guys are getting a bit sick of hearing all this.
Personally I like the build quality of the Iphone 4, which in anycase I keep in an Otterbox.
This forum has some great posts. But honestly some of it is complete nonsense.
