Mechanical drive noise with incoming call or text

I have an iPhone 5S and it recently has been behaving oddly.
Whenever I get an incoming text or call, something inside the phone makes a mechanical clicking sound.
It sounds like the drive is "hitching" or something.
It can sometimes continue making this clicking noise for a second or two after the call or text has come through.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is it something serious? Should I take the phone in?

Ok I am assuming your ringtone is not a mechanical clicking sound.
Possibly your external speaker???
Have you tried playing a song or video and see if you hear it?

I've not experienced this. But I do appreciate your asking.

IOS 5.1 Update Issue: Contacts exist, but do not appear with incoming call or text

Alrighty; I just purchased the iPhone 4s and last night was prompted to upgrade to IOS 5.1. After doing so, I noticed today any incoming calls from one of my contacts would not display the name (the number was displayed as if it was an unknown call). However, text messages displayed contact information. I was playing around with it and based on suggestions elsewhere I added a '1' before some numbers. Upon doing this, an incoming call would display the name of the caller but incoming texts would not. A call to support directed me to call Verizon (my carrier) for 'some sort of three digit code' which would correct the issue; alas, Verizon had no clue. I'm at a loss and any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Is this forum only for the US? Maybe I'm intruding here by posting this?
Not only the Verizon version unfortunately. We have the same problem here in some parts of the Middle East. I have heard reports from Kuwait and Bahrain, and I'm located in Oman and the problem exists here as well. And no solution except downgrading the phone back to iOS 4.3.5.

I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Contact names not showing with incoming calls!!!

Hi all,
I just got my E71-1 yesterday and upgraded from a very effiecient E61i....everything was going smooth until all of a sudden, contact names stopped appearing with incoming calls and SMS's.
I went through the forums searching for a solutions and apparently alot of people experienced the same thing.....except in my case, I do not have any duplicate names or numbers!!!!
Any ideas what could solve this???

There is a fix for it but you won't like it. I have tried it a few times and it always works but it involves a lot of work. This is what you do.
1. Make a backup of nothing else but your contacts only.
2. Delete all your contacts from both phone and sim card.
3. Start by entering the troublesome contacts from scratch making sure not to duplicate any numbers.
4. Now get those people to ring you to make sure that your CLI is working fine.
5. If it works then start entering the rest of the numbers, once again making sure there is no duplication whatsoever.
6. If it doesn't work, just restore the backup you made of your contacts.
I am fairly sure it will work, but just in case it doesn't you can always restore your backup and you are back to square one.

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix?

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix? It used to display the names if there was a contact listed, now it just shows numbers regardless of whether or not the number corresponds to a contact name in the contact list. Can anyone help? I googled this problem and lots of folks have experienced it, however there is not a consensus for a resolution.

Alexandribill, I have been having the exact same issue. I got a new phone and restored my contacts. If the # doesn't have the area code first then the name isn't shown. I just added my husbands area code to my phone and called my phone from his and now his name shows up...Ugh, I have to go through and manually add the area code to all my contacts....
I'd say Verizon needs to rewrite their program to include the area code in the restoring from backup process!

High bill with unusual calls and texts from non-functioning numbers?

We have a family share plan with 3 phones, one phone for my husband and two phones for our employees. Our usual phone bill runs around $150. Our last bill was over $600, the majority charges being on one of our employee's lines. This particular employee has been with us for over 10 years, and has always been extremely trustworthy and very frugal in his usage of his phone to make personal calls (very infrequent and always less than 5 minutes in duration, unless made during the free nights and weekends timeframe). Our latest bill showed over 1,000 texts to/from his phone, as well as over 3,000 peak calling minutes (both to/from his phone) alone. Many of the peak calls are lengthy in duration (30+ minutes, up to 120 minutes). I realize this post is long, so will divide it into headings so that it makes more sense:
Information on usage:
Our employee insists that he did not make these calls and texts (he does not even know how to text), and what is odd about the numbers that appear on the detail (both text and voice) is that they fit into one of two categories:
1. There are calls to two particular non-local area code numbers (and possibly bogus, as they have area codes 523 and 352(?)). When I call the two numbers, I get the following messages:
From my landline: When called from my landline, adding a "1" before the 10 digit number, I get the recording stating that "your number cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again"
From a cell number- When calling from my own VZW phone (on separate account from husband's), I get a VZW message that the number "has been changed, disconnected or is no longer in service"
2. They are local area code numbers, but when I call the number, I get a recording asking me to enter my pin number (in other words, they are numbers that cannot receive incoming calls, but according to our bill, have not only made calls to our employee's phone, but also received calls. I have done an online lookup on these numbers and they are all cell phones.
3. When I have tried to text the non-local numbers from my VZW phone, I get messages back stating that these are landline numbers and cannot be texted; when I text the local numbers, I have texted a generic message along the lines of "I can't reach you on the phone. Please call me as soon as you can" but I do not receive a call back.
We cannot speak directly with our employee right now (he is in Mexico to pick up his elderly grandmother), nor can we access our employee's phone to check the log, call history, etc. because he has the phone with him. Due to this, when we discovered the high usage, we immediately "suspended" the phone line so that no calls could be made or received. Subsequent to suspending the line, we have talked to his family a couple of times -- one time he happened to call them on another line, so we talked to him "indirectly" through a family member on another line with him. He was alarmed about the calls and insists he did not make them.
He does have children but they are forbidden (by him) from using the phone, and he states that he always keeps the phone in a case on his hip, thus no one else has access to the phone. To go even further, it seems that most all of the calls to these unusual numbers are made on weekdays, during school hours, so I feel sure the calls were not made by his kids.
Calls to Verizon: When we first called Verizon, they suggested we suspend the phone until we could speak to our employee. Subsequent to our indirect conversation with him mentioned above, we called them back and told them he stated that he did not make the calls nor send the texts, and that we believed the phone might have been compromised, cloned, hijacked or whatever. First, the customer svc rep looked at our account and suggested that we put an unlimited text on the phone for the current unbilled usage (there were a lot of texts, and we have no text plan on the employee's phone), and then remove that plan once we get to the bottom of this matter.
Due to our concern about fraudulent usage, the customer svc. rep called the fraud dept. while my husband was holding on the line. She came back on the line and told my husband that the fraud dept. said that "it cannot be fraud because if it was, there would be thousands of dollars in international long distance to countries like Pakistan and India." (WTH?) Also, she said that it couldn't be fraud "because texts were sent to and from the telephone number so we know it was your phone." (another WTH?)
She then went on to say that it looks like texts were sent to international numbers (???) recently (these same 523 and 352 area code numbers I referred to above). Number one, if these were international texts, it seems odd to me that these texts show up on our billed and unbilled activity as "domestic text" and there is no premium charge assessed to our account for international texts. Number two, if these numbers were international numbers, I imagine that we would be charged for outgoing international calls, which we were not. Further, I imagine that the numbers would be displayed on our bill in other than a ten digit format, but am not sure, as no one has ever made an international call or text on our phone.
Next steps:
Does anyone have advice for the next steps we should take and how we can get to someone in customer service who can actually help us with this problem, instead of what we experienced on our previous call? Can we demand that Verizon launch an investigation through its fraud department on the activity on this phone, or is this at the discretion of VZW to launch an investigation? I am unsure, since this was not given as an option by the customer service rep...
If we can get Verizon to launch an investigation, is payment of the portion of the bill with the unusual and disputed usage (namely, that which is over and above the usual usage) waived pending the investigation results, or will we have to pay the entire bill to both avoid having the phones turned off, as well as any detrimental effects to our credit? We've been hit hard by the economy, both personally (I am out of work right now) and business wise (my husband's business has been doing only about 25% of its usual business), and we don't have the extra $$ for the bill unless we take it out of our grocery budget.
If anyone has any insight, suggestions or otherwise, I sure would appreciate it. Sorry for the lengthy first post, but I thought it would be helpful to outline as much about the situation as I could in order that people could respond. Thanks in advance!

kbinga,
I know this is a confusing and frustrating situation for you. I would be happy to review the account in detail to see what is happening with the usage and charges to ensure it does not continue to be a problem for you. Please send me a direct message for further support assistance.
Thank you!

1.3.5.1 Updated, and Now Issue With Incoming Calls

Since updating to 1.3.5.1, any time I mute the ringer on an incoming call, it mutes the ringer until right before the missed call notification, but then plays the ringer again briefly. This defeats the purpose of being able to mute the ringer in the first place.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

This occurrs any time I press the volume rocker key to mute the ring of an incoming call. After the initial time when it played an extremely brief snippet of my ringtone (factory installed "Older Phone" ringtone), it has randomly switched between the short ringtone and a electronic squeal noise.
Since I know the slightest software change can kill a seemingly unrelated feature, I'll try to be as detailed as possible. For my phone setup, it is completely stock (phone no.5 after misc. slider/screen/charger door issues, haven't had time to change anything yet) My ringtone volume is set to maximum with vibrate also on, system sounds are also set to maximum with the default tone. I have no non-app catalog programs or patches installed. I use a Touchstone back cover, although the phone was not on the charger when I noticed the issue.
The only downloaded apps on the phone are Pandora, Tip 'em!, Stop Watch, Fandango, Good Food, Mileage Monitor and gDial Pro (which has not been set up yet). With the exception of Pandora, none of these apps have been used since I received this replacement phone. They were all just automatically downloaded because my previous phone had them. I have e-mail accounts through Cox, Yahoo, and Gmail, none of which are synced to contacts, calendars, messaging or tasks. I do have my Palm profile and EAS through my work in a full sync capacity.
Hope this helps.

Swiping to unlock the phone with incoming call.

Swiping to unlock the phone doesn't respond well when I receive an incoming call. Can take a number of tries before its successful and I'm able to answer.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the respone, but the problem is ongoing and intermittent. A number of resets over the last few weeks haven't had any noticeable impact.
I've had some succes with swiping the phone icon (on the right of the screen) up and then selecting the answer option.
A similar problem happens when I have just received a text; I can't succesfully unlock the phone for a couple of seconds after I receive the notification.
While this issue isn't making want to get rid of the phone it is still frustrating.
