No phone icon to answer incoming calls with text message

I have a brand new iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4.
When I have an incoming call, I do not get the small telephone icon on the bottom right of the screen, so I have no access to options such as answer with text message. What can be done to activate this?

You search your iPhone for the Phone app and put it back there.
Or tap in Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen layout button

Cant reply to incoming call with text while on phone

Before IOS7 I could reply to an incoming call while on a call with a text " Cant talk right now I will call you later". With IOS7 that is not an option. I spoke with Apple tech support they said it was a Verizon issue. That Verizon has to update their system to be compatible with the update. I spoke with people who have iphone 5's with AT&T and Sprint and the have the same issue. This was a really nice feature and I wish it was someway to get it back. Can somebody help

I am not happy that they removed this feature either. Unfortunately, Apple seems to be changing many things for the worse since Steve Jobs is gone. User friendliness was a big priority to him, and this being one of those and also being efficient and possibly safer in the case that you may be on the phone and driving. You could, with one touch, let your second caller know that you were busy or you would call them back...this is not one of Apple's best decisions by far

Is it possible to use an aux cable to listen to music in your car stereo, but answer incoming calls with the bluetooth headset?

I can't figure it out. I have to unplug the aux cable, turn off my bluetooth headset and then turn it back on to answer the call.

Yes... simply select the appropriate audio output when answering the call.
See pages 58 and 59 of the User's Guide.

Try to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
try this:
open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
let me know if succeeded!

TS1630 My phone will not ring for calls or text messages. It also will not play music out loud.

My phone will not ring for messages or texts. It also will not play music outloud. I know it's not the speakers because it does make noise when I type in my password and sometimes when I am in the settings for the ringtone. It will not make the message sounds in settings. With headphones it makes noise. I don't know what to do and I've tried all the settings. Has this happened to anyone else? The silence key on the side is off. I've tried restarting it, but it does not work. Sometimes it will make noise when I am typing, but only a few times. I haven't dropped it and I have an otterbox, so I don't know what would cause it to do this...?

Everyone you are way over thinking this as did i at first. My wife had the same issue. there is i switch right above the volume button as demonstrated on this link. its designed for lets say you into a class or meeting you can switch the phone to silent quck and easy.

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.

When trying to answer a call with the phone in my pocket

Most of the time when trying to answer a call with the phone in my pocket I end up starting one of the alternate options to answering because I can not see the screen until it is completely out and screen facing me.

well see this thread http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=29866
and this one http://digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1067410
i don't generally think someone is stupid for not immediately undersand the subtleties of how an n97 works. obviously you do.
There's no dignity in begging for kudos. Do it for the karma.

When I swipe phone to open, and hit the phone icon, then make a call, most times it says "calling mobile" but then nothing happens.

Same thing here. I'm getting very frustrated. When I swipe phone to open, and hit the phone icon, then make a call, most times it says "calling mobile" but then nothing happens. Then I try to end the call and hit the END button. Sure, it looks like the call disconnected, but as soon as I try to make another call, I see the same screen (the first called) and the words "calling mobile". The only way I can rememdy this, naturally, is powering off and restarting. But, c'mon...$300 for a phone that you have to power down between calls???
I've got the latest OS update, no jailbreak, or anything exotic on my 4s. What's more, when I try to make a call 2 out of 3 times, the dumb SIRI opens up and stops me from making the call. (and, yes, I have very carefully checked my process that I am not intentionally activating SIRI with my cheek.)
Again, $300 for all this in just trying to make a call?

reset your phonr by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

SIP incoming call with G722-64 codec not working

Hi, Guys.
Have setup cube sip trunk to ITSP, incoming and outgoing calls are working. Except for an incoming call with g722 codec and video h263 (just need voice call). The called number does not even ring. The caller informed that his using polycom phone.
Also, itsp provided 10 numbers for testing in which we can assigned to our phones but only the main number is working. When doing an incoming call, (dialing the other numbers except from the main number) can see always on the logs that itsp is always feeding the main number. I think it was because of the configuration under the sip-ua (register the maint number to a registrar) but itsp informed that it was also their setup for other clients and is working. Appreciate your help on these.
Thanks

I have looked at your logs and here are my observations..
1. When you disabled fast start on CUCM, I asked you to enable early offer on your CUBE, however I dont see this in your logs..
This is the INVITE sent to your ITSP, as you can see, this doesnt contain any SDP, that suggest you are doing delayed offer..

2. If you are doing DO, then your CUBE needs to send an answer to what your ITSP is offering in its ACK..but this is not happening
Here is what I see..Your CUBE sends SDP in its PRACK

I have two suggestions..
1. Downgrade or upgrade your CUBE IOS. Something is not quite right with this behaviour
2. Send your full sh run
On your inbound call issue, you need to send me the logs for a call to another of your DDI..

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!

Updated my iphone with iOS7.0.3, still dont have the option to reject the call or reject the call with a message when someone call and the phone is in the lock screen?

Updated my iphone with iOS7.0.3, still dont have the option to reject the call or reject the call with a message when someone call and the phone is in the lock screen? I was of the impression that this issue will be fixed with updates. Please see the screenshot.

Hello Beardsell,
This is when the phone is unlocked mode. My snapshot is when the phone is locked.
Remember when you get a call when the phone is locked and you used to have slide to answer in iOS 6 and if you slide up you would have options to reject, reject with a message and reject with a reminder. We dont have that in iOS 7. iOS 7 *****, I cannot get back to iOS6, apple needs to be user friendly. Screen shot 1 when the phone is locked, screenshot 2 when the phone is unlocked.

Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

yeah, that's pretty strange. i suggest to try soft reset first and then if it's still showing the same behavior. do a hard reset. that should help. however if it's still acting strange, you call the palm tech support hotline. 1-877-426-3777. they will help you with your sprint treo pro.

I can't put call on hold to answer incomming call, always hangs up on first call

I can't put call on hold to answer incomming call, always hangs up on first call

The procedure is different, depending on whether your carrier uses CDMA or GSM. Consult the manual. gdgmacguy gives directions on how to find it in the post above.
Best of luck.

My Iphone 4S will not allow me to answer incoming calls on any bluetooth headset without selecting it from the audio source menu.The connection works because once I do select the device...I can hear and speak. Any ideas?

Thank you templeton peck, I just rang them, turns out my contract doesn't allow it!
