Missed call notification in lock screen

I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1 and I discovered a potential security/privacy issue. Generally, when apps are configured so that they leave a notification on the lock screen, you can actually swipe the notification itself (rather than the "slide to unlock" bar at the bottom of the screen). When you do this, you are still asked for your password to unlock the phone, but you are taken directly to the associated app after the phone is unlocked. The problem is, when you swipe a "missed phone call" notification from the lock screen, the number is immediately dialed! You are not required to enter your password first!
I won't go into the reasons why you possibly wouldn't want this to happen - I'll leave that to the individual to figure out. The point is, if the phone is locked, you should only be able to make non-emergency calls. Period. I called Apple Support to inquire about this issue and the best they could come up with is to set the phone app so that notifications aren't viewed from the lock screen (Home > Settings > Notifications > Phone > View in Lock Screen = OFF). While this does in fact secure my phone, it also takes the "Smart" out of "Smart Phone." You see, I would like to be able to take a quick glance at my phone to see if I missed any calls (without first unlocking it), then if I choose to return a missed call, I should have to enter my password before the call is made. In other words, the phone app should act like all the other apps in this regard. After all, other smart phones often have an LED that flashes to notify you of missing calls (without the need to unlock the phone first). Come on Apple, we know you can do better than this!
It seems strange that if I get a notification on my lock screen about some breaking news from "The New York Times" app, that I have to enter my password to view it (after swiping the notification). It's as if the news is some big secret that we don't want "unauthorized users" to view, yet the phone allows anyone to return a call from my lock screen without first unlocking it.
At the very least, there should be a setting to allow the user to choose how this action is handled.

  • Io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    my son had this problem.  I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone..  They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them.  I did.  They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon.  There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off.  I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
    I hope this helps.

  • Setting to show text (sms) notification on lock screen but not message content

    Just about every phone I have will give a notification of a new text while locked. I know the iphone goes one step further shows a preview and who it's from.
    For privacy reasons (work and personal) I might not want people to see who is texting me or what it says. I would like a simple message saying "2 new messages", or "1 missed call" on the lock screen, so I do not have to unlock it every time to check.
    How do I do this?

    Settings > Notifications.
    Select Messages.
    Set it to Banners or None.
    Show preview Off.
    Badge App icon On. (This is the little red number on the icon showing how many new messages you have).

  • In iOS 7 you can still make calls from the locked screen. Just swipe the missed call numbers to the right. Is this a bug?

    How is it a security breach? You're free to turn off lock screen notifications for the phone app so that no one can do that.... even if they can, they can only call the number that called you... nothing else. (well, except for 900 or whatever the emergency services number is where you are, but that's required by law).

  • How do I get my missed call notification to show in the notification center? Everything is turned on but nothing shows up.

    I previously posted a question about not being able to see any of my missed calls in the notification center. I have the iPhone 4S running on 6.1.1. The notifications previously stopped working but somehow the calls started to show up. (I can't remember what I did to make them show up). However, after I went to General>Reset>Reset All Settings , the missed call notifications disappeared again. I have tried turning everything on and it still does not work. My settings are Phone> Show 10 Recent Items> Banners > Badge Icon On> View In Lockscreen On. I have also tried to set it as alerts but nothing happens. The only way I can view my missed calls is on the lock screen and in the recents tab in the phone app. They do not show up in the notification center at all. Can someone please help me?

  • 7945 phone not displaying 'missed calls' notifications

    Hello,
    I have a user who is no longer getting the 'missed calls' notifications on her phone. This has previously worked but now isn't. 
    They have tried logging into another phone however the issue is still occurring for them suggesting it's an issue with their user profile rather than the phone.
    Can anybody provide any assistance?
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniel 

    Cisco TAC has  said it is directly related to an ITL file sych issue with the phone. The best way to fix it 100% of this time on any phone Is factory default reset. Never mind what firmware is on the phone as it is not common to one device or firmware load. Do this:
    1 – unplug lan cables from back of phone
    2- press and hold # key down and don’t let go
    3- plug wires back in while still holding # key down
    4- with # key still held in, wait for sequence of lights to blink next to line selection buttons. Should take maybe 1 min for this to happen
    5- when lights blink in sequence, release # key
    6- enter 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 * 0 #
    7- wait a full 5 minutes or more for phone to fully download it’s software. It will say different things on the screen but eventually will fully load and reboot.

  • How to get rid of the missed call notification banner? - galaxy s3

    SAMSUNG GALAXY S3
    Has anyone found a way to get rid of - that is, keep it from EVER being displayed -  the missed call notification banner on the lockscreen?  I've tried everything I can think of short of getting a different phone ... a third party app worked perfectly until we were "blessed" with KitKat in the most recent software upgrade.

        Hey mayor360, I know that would concern me a bit too having my missed call notifications being shown while my device is locked. I have done some reasearch on my end and have found that for many users have been using 3rd party applications just as you have. If after the update your specific application started to not function we can try to reset the device to ensure there are no software issues and then install the application once more. If you'd like to give the reset a shot you can click this link to see how http://bit.ly/1pphu6w. This step will erase all the information on the device, so you want to make sure the device is backed up before proceeding. To backup your device you can simply download our Verizon Cloud application in the Google Play Store. Keep us updated. -AdamG_VZW

  • Questions in Lync missed call notifications.

    Hello Experts,
    We have the following environment:
    Environment
    Currently there are no exchange UM’s in place.
    Has PBX to route the Enterprise calls.
    Missed call Behaviour
    When Lync receives the call, based on the calling number trunk translation rules the number is normalised and is presented with the missed call notification and Callee names will not be shown.
    What we are seeing here is a mixture, that when we get a call from the PBX, RNL is successful and I get the caller's picture, Name and E.164 number in the notification window for new call. But for the actual missed call notification,
    we only get the name (no number).
    Hence wanted to understand Lync missed call notification generation logic (where does it get the name from [RNL], which number does it show [called or AD], does it show the number etc ? ) as we are seeing mixed results with and without
    phone numbers or Names.
    Please advise. Thank in advance.

    Hi SBHV,
    Lync Server and Exchange Unified Messaging server are responsible to initiate a missed call notification. Lync Server generates a missed call notification by sending a SIP INFO message to Exchange unified messaging server, which in turn
    performs a reverse number lookup of the caller and sends email to the callee with the missed call details.
    During this reverse number lookup, if the incoming number is associated with any user or contact object on server (Exchange UM, Active Directory) or recipients personal contacts,
    it will be mapped with the caller or object name. If no match is found, just display the caller’s phone number or name. 
    Best regards,
    Eric.

  • Exchange UM 2010 Missed Call Notifications removes extensions

    We have integration of Lync Server 2010 and UM 2010. Our internal users don't have a DID, just extensions off our main number. When a user is enabled for UM, they get a missed call notification from UM. The trouble is, telephone number is displayed correctly,
    with extension but the link behind it strips the extension. For example it shows work number 222-333-4444 x4422 but if you hover the mouse over it, the actual link reads tel: 2223334444 which is the main number.
    If I disable UM for this user, then Lync gets to send the missed call notification, and in this case the link reads tel:+12223334444;ext=4422  and when a user clicks on it, the Lync client dials the extension vs the main number.
    MS Support tells me this is by design. Is there a way to configure this to where UM will pass the extensions in the link.

    Is there at least a way to hide the "Work:" field or make it non-clickable, so users are not sent to the wrong place?

    Hi,
    This behavior is by design. Exchange 2010 server is not going to accept any SIP messages from Exchange 2013 server because it is not listed as UM IP Gateway. Therefore, even if Exchange 2013 redirected the SIP INFO packet to Exchange 2010, it will fail.
    During migration\coexistance scenario, this feature (Missed call notifications from Lync server) will not work for legacy users whose mailbox is still in Exchange 2010.

  • Customize Missed Call Notifications

    Is it possible to customize missed call notifications (Exchange 2010 SP3) so as to exclude the callers email address?
    Sample default message -
    You missed a call from Joe Blogs at 55999
    Caller-Id:     55999
    Work:         +15599995555
    E-mail:         "joe.blogs.smtp.address" is inserted here
    How we'd like it to appear  -
    You missed a call from Joe Blogs at 55999
    Caller-Id:      55999
    Work:           +15599995555

    No, it is not possible with Exchange UM.
    Only way is to customize Lync and to use a own missed call notification wit a ucwa application.
