    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:

    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.

    My Iphone5 was replaced and having same Problem. Only does this when using bluetooth for talking.

    I have the exact same issue... I've been using a Jabra Extreme2 and just this weekend, bought a Plantronics Marque2 and today had the same issue, so it's clearly not the headset but the phone or OS.
    I might try a restore and see if it helps...

  • Can I transfer a call to another Verizon cell in the middle of a call?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer a call to another Verizon cell in the middle of a call?  Not call forwarding, but transfer during the call?
    So, I answer the phone and talk to the caller.  Then, I want to transfer the caller to Joe on another cell phone.  Is there any way to put the caller on hold and transfer the call to Joe's Verizon cell?
    My understanding is that call forwarding only works for the initial phone call - the call forwards to another number, but it won't work in the middle of a call. 
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

    All the older Nokia phones you answer a call – you can put it on hold – call someone else, tell him/her that you are transferring a call – press  4 and hang up. Those two can continue the conversation together.
    That’s what I’m looking for.
    With Lumia I don’t want to be the 3rd wheel in the conversation... 
    I haven't found the way to end the call so that the others could continue (not even with conference call)

  • Hearing problems in the middle of a call

    ive having problems with my call lately , iam in the middle of a call and the other part begin to hear a kind of static meanwhile i can hear them clearly, its weird because it happens quen the headsets are plugged too, but when i put the mophie juice pack on the phone the problem disapears, i wonder why this is happening and if theres a software update to relieve my phone of the static noise=?

    It may be that the phone is set to remind you when your balance falls below a certain amount. Its usually $5.00, I have been on the phone for long lengths of time and have never had this happen. Check under Setting and Tools and sound or voice settings. Also notifications settings. There mights be somewhere that says "remind me"

    good luck.
    If the device had Find My iPhone activated, yes.  Otherwise, no, you don't need your Apple ID & Password, just because of iOS 7.
    To access iCloud or iTunes, etcetera, yes.  But that's no different than in iOS 6.

  • Texts alerts while in the middle of a call!!

    Is there a way to silence text alerts while you are in the middle of a conversation other than the manual side button? I would like for it to be automatic that way i don't forget. If so I would greatly appreciate any help on how to do this. I cannot explain how annoying it is when I am in the middle of an important phone conversation and the chime of my text goes off in my ear not only do I get a loud chime I also miss part of the information.

    No. Sorry.

  • My iPhone 4S will blast my text tone in my ear when I'm in the middle of a call

    Is there any way to keep my text tone without having music blast out my eardrums for thirty seconds while I'm in the middle of a phone call

    Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
    Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
    Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
    Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

  • My iPhone4 has shut itself off while i was in the middle of a call and is vibrating and wont turn off, how can i  get it  to stop, PLEASE HELP?!

    It's really annoying and this is the second time its happened.

    I would get it looked at, that sounds more like a hardware problem.

  • Phones constantly turn off in the middle of phone calls, texting or web browsing; help!

    My daughter and I both have BlackBerry Curves that are approxiamately 2 years old.  They are constantly shutting down during phone calls and web browsing even though the battery shows a full charge. When they finally finish rebooting the battery indicators show that they are completely drained and need to be recharged.  The screens freeze regularly and the little clock icon keeps spinning whenever we try to do the most basic functions.  I can't wait to upgrade to different phone but can't afford to buy four of them at once.  What can we do to get by until we upgrade?

        Wow Scotty1964. It's certainly strange that both phones are doing the same thing! Do you both share the same chargers? It may be as simple as the charger needing to be replaced if the phone is not getting the best charge to begin with. It's also possible that both devices downloaded something in common to cause the quirky behavior. Did this start after an update was installed on the phone? Or maybe an application was updated or installed? If just removing an application doesn't help, you may find a Master Reset http://bit.ly/zK7LOX may be the best way to purge the phone of the pesky trouble and have working devices in your hand until you're ready for those upgrades.
    And I know money is tight, especially when you're looking to upgrade so many devices at once. When you have a chance, visit http://bit.ly/zpAY1E to check out all the online specials for phones. An upgrade may be more affordable than you think.

  • My phone turns mute when in the middle of a call?

    Latly when I'm talking on my iphone4 my phone mutes and the people on the other end can't hear me in mid conversation.  If I put the phone back down to look at it then I have to go to speaker phone.  What is going on , my phone is 2 weeks old!

    This used to happen to me when the iPhone 4 first came out but after an update it was resolved.  I think there was a proximity sensor issue with the old iOS code but it seems to be better now.  It hasn't happened with me running iOS5.
    Test putting your hand near the proximity sensor while on a call and see if you screen goes dim, if not then I would bring it back to the Apple store and see if they would replace the phone since you've only had it for 2 weeks.

  • TS1630 I was in the middle of a call on speakerphone when the speaker just stopped working.  Could the spear on my 1 month old iPhone 5 have blown?

    I got my IPhone 5 in April.  Today, while on a speakerphone call, the speaker just stopped working.  The support on Apple said if their troubleshooting didn't work (which it did not), to reset the phone.  I am really not interested in doing that.  So.....any other ideas besides what was already explained in the troubleshooting section?

    the first thing to try is a reset
    Hold both the home and the on/off button till you see the apple logo. Release the buttons and let it reset
