Making a call with the iphone headphones
I know that you can answer calls through your headphones that came with the iphone but is it possible to make a call through it using the microphone and saying a command to call someone?
What I meant was while Im listening to my ipod on my iphone, is it possible to use the button on the headset and make a voice call from my headphones? I know I can do voice calling from the phone itself but I was wondering if you could do it through your headphones like push the button and say call whoever in the microphone and it would do it.

How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s?
How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s? I have a bluetooth car device and when I try to talk through it (as I did with my old phone) to call someone it does not work. so far only hte last person called is redialed.
That is a carrier-based service. So first you have to make sure your service contract includes that feature.
It usually also includes Call Hold. So you call the first party, put them on hold, call the second, then reactivate the first. But only if your carrier allows you to. -
Why can't I record calls with the iPhone?
Hi,
Why can't I record calls with the iPhone? Every other mobile can! That's quite pitty ...!Nonsense. There are many places where you are not allowed to take photos or video but those functions are included. Apple assumes no responsibility for them. Apple would not be responsible for managing the recordings on the phone either. It's most likely because Apple is located in California and in THAT particular state, both parties have to be informed of the recording. Most states do not require that. If Apple were located in another state (e.g. Alaska) there would be no restriction.
All the apps that record calls store those recordings in their servers and charge you a fee. It would be preferable to have the calls stored only on the phone so no one else could access them. The iPhone has the technological capability; we have just been restricted from having this functionality without paying a 3rd party. -
I am having a problem making phone calls using Facetime. I was able to use it on two separate occassions; however, now I can not. I can receive calls, but can not make them. Not sure what to do. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you VERY much!There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon. -
Does TV out work with the iPhone headphone jack?
Can you plug in you AV cord in your earphone jack and use that as the video out?
I don't believe I said video out DOES work through the headset jack, I said that it worked through the 32 pin connector. An update to this is that some of my TV sets in the house will allow audio in Ipod mode and some won't. Still haven't figured out how to allow audio through the bottom connector in my car either. Of course this is because I am passing it through a tv tuner in the car and if the tuner doesn't get video it just doesn't pass anything through.
Of course I believe your solution below for the audio would work but of course I'm going for the cleanest look I can get also.
I have considered putting another fm transmitter in my glove boxe where the a/v connector to the tuner is and just plug the left and right audio into it. -
When making a call, sometimes, my iPhone 5 , gets stuck on 'Calling' than I have to press END..but still nothing happens, than when I press HOME button, the call app keeps running in the background and it keeps saying CALLING... than I have to wait 2 - 3 minutes and call again.
please helpHas nothing to do with the SIM or master reset. This has been done to my phone. The SIM once and the factory reset many times over. You all just sold us a bad piece of equipment and have us by the tail with our contracts so none of us can get a new phone without paying full price or re-upping our contract. I just got off the phone last night with your high up tech people (you know, the hidden number we get once we tear into your support people enough), they went into my phone again and still didn't find anything wrong. I about got fired from my job for not getting my calls and texts. The BBB has now been contacted, and I feel your end should shore this up for all of us!

Why have the headphones that come with the iPhone within the last year lost their sound quality?
Doesn anybody know why all the replacement headphones and headphones that come standard with the iPhone and iPod lost their quality? I broke my headphones I got with my iPhone two years ago and I went in to get a replacement pair. All the ones (standard iPhone headphones) I tried have no bass anymore. I let the store person hear the difference and he agreed. A friend of mine bought an iTouch recently and I listened to the ones that came with his iTouch and they are just as bad (he doesn't know the difference because he never heard the older pairs). Why has the quality dropped on the new issuing headphones? I am so disappointed because I was happy with the quality of sound coming from the original pair, but they are no longer making them...WHAT HAPPENED??? New manufacturer? Or is this a way to get people to have to buy after-market products?
Why would Apple care if you bought after-market headphones? They don't make them. Unless maybe the manufacturers of those headphones bribe Apple...

I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic. And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine. I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers. However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic. I just get barely audible static. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
Thanks! -
HT3310 how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone?
how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone? Are there some settings
that I need to turn on so I can use my headphone while talking on the phone?Are you using the earbuds that came with the iPhone? If you are using other earphones, it's possible that they need an adaptor to work with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack.

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s. However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss. The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens. All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-legend (next paragraph is taken from the review since there is no direct link to the review.
Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue. I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web. Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock. -
Do these headphones work with the iPhone 3G

These are the new headphones that came out with the most recent ipods. They are the ones with the volume buttons on the headphones. Do they work with the iPhone 3G?
Are you sure that is the correct link? There is no mention of volume conrol. They seem to be exacty the same as the ones that come with the 3G iPhone execpet there is no microphone or control button.

They are the same price too.

They are not yet available ("Coming Soon"), so nobody knows if they will work with the iPhone. Probably everything but the volume control will work. They do have a microphone and control button.
Meanwhile you can get the Sennheiser MM50 from Apple

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) but off for everything else?

i have one problem with my iphone 4s i c"ant make facetime calls with other iphons. olso when i make calls on the facetime icon is question sign! can any oane hellp me! wath my be the problem because it is all new iphone!
First question where ae you located? If you're in the Middle East or UAE, factime has been restricted by the government.
If your not from there look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367 -
good day my question is , does anyone of you experiencing when making a call with facetime the phone shuts off and restart
See this veeeeeeeeeery long thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404857
It's an issue with hundreds of phones. Some claim it's software related, some hardware, some say it's a mixture of both.
Some people have had temporary success with quitting the Phone.app / restoring as a new phone / restoring from an iCloud backup / disabling Siri / toggling speakerphone on & off...
Unfortunately all of the above only been temporary, with the problem recurring again after a few calls, or a few days etc.
So far the only solution that seems permanent has been to replace the phone. But even so, it's the luck of the draw to recieve a functional phone, and not another faulty one.
I'm completely annoyed as there is no Apple Store near me...... and Apple haven't even acknowledged the issue, despite the above thread being 34 pages long, as of writing.
