Phone call interrupted my video

While shooting a video on iPhone 4 a call came in that I declined. However, it turned off the video and I had to restart it. I read a few other questions about this but they were from over a year ago and I was hoping something had been instituted to stop this. I understand the idea that phone calls have priority, but when I'm using my iPhone's video camera I would like that to have priority. Anything besides airport mode?

This is absolutely rediculous. Why is it that my call doesn't show up as an alert superimposed over the video recording view. If it's possible that when I'm on a call, a second call does not cut off the first, it stands to reason that the same option could be offered to me while watching a video. (e.g., "Accept call from Joe and save video?Send Joe straight to voicemail?)
Otherwise what you are saying is that whever I want to record something, assuming it's important (and I think it's safe to assume that whenever I'm recording something it's important and potentially VERY important), you're saying I need to first go into settings and enter airplane mode. But that's of course insane. What if I'm witnessing a crime? What if there's a precious moment happening between my children? Etc. Etc.
This should be fixed. I just had a very important moment ruined. The fact that it's a phone primarily is by the way not at all correct anymore. It's a computer that makes calls.

  • Phone call interrupting video recording

    Just a quick clarification-
    I've noticed that while recording a video, if a phone call comes in (even if it is declined), the video is ended. This obviously does make sense as incoming calls should have priority, and I suppose means that airplane mode is the way to go if I'm recording a video that I don't want to be interrupted.
    My question is: Is the above statement correct or is there an option or setting I'm missing that would allow a call to be declined during video recording and have the video continue? Using Airplane Mode isn't a huge problem, but it would be nice to be able to monitor incoming calls and have the choice whether to accept the call and end the video or decline the call and have the video continue.
    Thanks for the help!

    I had a iphone 3g and had static during phone calls - mostly on the person who I was calling. I hoped that when I upgraded to the iphone 3gs the problem would go away (thinking maybe I had a faulty speaker). But the problem still persists with this new phone (just a month old). I read where I should reset the phone, recharged the phone and reset the phone. But you would think buying a new phone would have done those same things. Perhaps it is an AT&T issue. That makes more sense since both phone have the same issue. But I would take an answer from Apple if they would like to share the definitive answer to this problem. Apple, your turn.

  • IPhone 4 phones calls interrupted by music

    When I'm making a phone call I will suddenly be cut off and the Phone starts to play the music that is on the device.  I'm not doing anything to the phone, not pressing buttons shaking it or anything. I can be talking to somebdoy and then suddely they are gone and the music is playing.  Sometimes it takes me four or five attempts to get the call back , as the music will interrupt the dialling and can cut in at any time.
    I checked and the music app is not active after this happens. The iPhone is hardly usable as a phone noew the problem has got so bad. Anybody know if this can be fixed?
    My next move will be to delete all the music on the device, pretty poor for a $600 phone.

    I'm on ios 6.1.3 .
    Frankly I would consider anything as the phone is almost unusable (as a phone) at the moment.  I only have one paid app that cost 99 cents and I don't care about that.

  • How do you set iphone4S to hear phone calls while playing videos

    This is my first iphone but have used ipod touch for years.  What settings should I have to hear phone call rings while playing videos?

    There is no setting for that on the phone. Some carriers provide ringback tones, which play instead of the caller hearing a ring. But I am not aware of an app that would play a message prior to you picking up the phone. The amount of time before you pick up is not a constant, and if it lasts too long, then the call would go to voicemail.

  • Phone call while recording video

    I realized yesterday that if I am recording a video and I receive an incoming call, my phone stops recording. Is there an option to hold all calls while recording video?

    Not that I ever heard of.
    Apple's stance is that it's primarily a phone, so those take priority over video recording.

  • Prepaid cell phone call interruption O.o

    Every now and then I try to call my girlfriend long distance on a prepaid cell phone. About one minute into the conversation our call is interrupted with a voice that comes over my phone saying how much cash is on the phone and when the next pay is due. Is there any way I can turn this feature off? It gets pretty annoying being cut off all the time and having to call back explaining what happened.

    This has something to do with the Messaging Alert levels. Try this
    Go to verizowireless.com/myverizon
    Click on the My Profile tab.
    Select Low, Medium or High (choose Low) from the Messaging Level box and click update. Hope this works for you.

  • Simultaneous user Calls using 7985 Video Phone

    I just want to know that, how many user makes call/Confernce simultaneously by using 7985 video phone.
    If 7985 video phone allow multiple video calls at time then what is the procedure to enable multiple calls.

    Thanks for the above information, I had the same problem, my Customers wanted to have three way (Multi point) video conference on 7985 Phones. By using MCU I should be able to establish three way (Multi Point) video conference over 7985 Phone. So this means three people (Phones) would be able to see each others.
    Thanks

  • Handling Application Interrupts (Phone Call, SMS, etc)

    I am trying to get a feel for my options when it comes to handling application interrupts in the form of phone calls, messages, pressing the home button, etc. My google search the other day brought me to a page showing a series of events fired when receiving a phone call, but I seem to have since lost that page.
    My question is, when those events occur during the execution of an application, what are the names of the events and when I intercept them, how much time does my application have to react before it is rudely exited? Also, does the Home button throw any sort of event sequence I can read within an open app?

    Look at the UIApplicationDelegate docs. You will get 'applicationWillResignActive' and 'applicationDidBecomeActive' when interrupted and returned respectively.
    Depending on your app there may be nothing to do or a lot to do with there. Pause a game, deal with current network requests etc.
    It's easy to trap the Home button. When it's pressed you will get 'applicationWillTerminate'. Then your app exits.

  • Why does my volume for music or videos not play externally, but it does for my alarm or phone calls?

    I can not get the volume on my IPhone 4S to play externally for music and videos. However, the sound for my alarms and phone calls do sound externally. Also, the buttons on the side of the phone for volume control no longer appear to be working? What can I do to fix this?  Thank you.

    Hello Jack,
    I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speaker

  • My I phone didn't make Video call

    My I phone didn't make Video call

    TRy doing a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    If that does not help, and you get the screen showing connection to iTunes, you will need to do a restore via recovery mode per the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

  • IChat only works when I make phone calls??

    Ok, so this is getting absolutely ridiculous. My ichats constantly disconnect after about 30secs each and every time i start a conference from my Macbook Pro in the UK to my parents iMac located in Norway. Both running Leopard 10.5.5 and with the latest software upgrade (including the ichat/quicktime 7.5.5 fix released on 17nov)
    I've got a Netgear wireless router DG834G with latest firmware installed.
    I've opened up all the ports on the router recommended by apple. I've done this while UPnP is off. I've also tried turning on UPnP and closed the ports.
    We've both tried setting bandwith limit to 500, and quicktime streaming settings to 1.5mbps with no luck.
    Internet sharing is off on both sides.
    Both tried ports 443 and 5190 in ichat prefs.
    I've tried turning "Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port" on and off in the router setup.
    I've tried the connection through Ethernet instead of wireless.
    We're both logged in with AIM accounts.
    NOW, the interesting bit is this: when I make a phone call on my landline from the UK to Norway and start an iChat conference, it works like a dream! Smooth crisp video and audio and no interruptions! As soon as either of us hang up the phone, our ichat connection freezes and we both get the error -20 (no audio video for 10 seconds etc..) It is as if our phone has opened some sort of direct connection by which our video chat can travel alongside?
    Same thing happens to audio chats.
    Connecting to [email protected] however, works fine.
    My internet connection is going through the Netgear router to a Time Machine (set to bridge mode) providing me with the wireless connection. I'm with Toucan ISP in the UK.
    So basically, what we were trying to avoid in the first place (making expensive phone calls) is now the only option to maintain a video conference. So much for convincing my parents how reliable their brand new expensive mac is.
    Please if anyone can make sense of this I'd be very grateful for your help!

    I agree with Defcom that a Dodgy Micro-Filter looks like the first choice to check out.
    I also can't see that you disabled the DOS or SPI setting on the WAN Page in the Netgear.
    DOS can see the amount of data iChat sends as an Internet Attack and will cut the one port that the data is being Streamed on to protect your Internet Connection.
    SPI checks to see if the data is "Valid" and iChat seems to be able to send data faster that it can cope. On some Devices DOS is also a part of any SPI firewall it may have somewhat adding to the issue.
    I used o run the Netgear DG824G with the Allowing Pings and Disabling DOS using UPnP.

  • Screen goes black when making phone calls

    Hi, I have started to use a new Xperia Z2 a short while ago. As soon as I am tapping the screen to call a phone number the screen goes black; I can hear the phone calling but can't see anything (not being able to turn on loudspeaker etc.). The sound works, and screen can be brought back to life when the call is finished. Same thing when I call with my Skype app - really annoying as the video mode in Skype doesn't function. When the call is finished from the other side, I can get the screen to light up again. What can I do to solve ths problem?

    Hi.
    I've got very simillar problem with Xperia Z2 screen.
    Not always, but very often when I want to end the conversation and take the phone away from my head, screen remains black.
    Only power button can help, when I click it, screen pops up and then I can click "END CONVERSATION"
    It's really annoying. What can I do, to make it work ?
    Answers for your further questions.
    - I don't have any protection on the screen
    - I don't have any case or anything
