Slide to unlock after a failed call
When I have a call that fails for some reason and the phone is “locked” it returns to the locked state, with a “call failure” message. All fine.
However, when I later “slide to unlock” the phone (usually after I’ve finished my journey) the iPhone always immediately calls the failed caller back.
I think there is a similar effect with missed calls.
I find this automatic calling without a prompt very irritating. Is there some way to disable this?
Thanks for any info...
First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained here:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If still no luck, get it checke by Apple:
iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support

I can't do anything with it and I don't have the serial number as it was as is when I got it. It will slide to unlock but that's it. It goes strait to mergecy calls and that's it. The seller said it was locked in. Itunes or something. Idk really aggrevated with it.
Restore the device using iTunes.
And you can find the serial number if you read the articel you linked from.

Remove the SIM tray. The serial number and IMEI will be printed on the SIM tray as shown below. -
Favorites on screen after unlock after a phone call
ever since the last update, every time someone calls when my phone is locked and i unlock my phone, the favorites page is on the screen. it really annoys me because rarely am i unlocking my phone to make another call. is there any way to get rid of that?
i am just unlocking my phone by clicking on it and then sliding the button over. i know i am not double clicking because this happens every time i unlock it after someone has called. i know i am not the only person who this happens to because i've asked all my friends. here is the sequence of my actions... i clear my phone out to the homepage. phone is locked. someone calls. i hang up the call. phone locks automatically. wait 5-10 minutes. unlock my phone. favorites screen.
the problem is that i never went to the favorites screen. i don't want the favorites screen open, i want the homepage to be on the screen. -
How do I disable the "slide to unlock" redial when the call fails?
I have an Iphone 4s with At&t... When a call fails while on my bluethooth headset a notofacition pops up on the lock screen and if I unlock my phone it automaticly redials the person I was talking to when the call failed... How do I disable this "auto redial" function?
I downloaded the user manual and found it.
Settings/Language & Input/Read notifications aloud/
Add or remove from Read Notifications.
Under Language and Input/Google Voice Type/settings/Speech output/ I selected Hands free only. However I assumed the Read notifications would only be read in the car mode. -
No camera icon next to "slide to unlock" after update.
After updating my ipod, there isn't a camera icon next to my unlock slider.
just click the Home Button twice, and the camera icon will appear next to unlock slider

IPhone 4 stuck, can't slide to unlock!
I'm having a problem several times a day now, where when I get a call in from a sleeping phone and I try to slide to unlock/pick up the call, it won't do it. All I can do is wait for the call to go to voicemail and then I can unlock it and everything from there seems to work fine. Once I couldn't end a call, i had to wait for the other person to hang up to disconnect.
Is it a proximity sensor problem? Or is it just a bad phone. I'm still within my 30 days, not sure if I should return it for a new one.Having the same problem, here is what i have done chronologically to no avail-
1. Restored the phone to factory condition, reinstalled from backup.
2. Restored the phone to factory condition, started over as a new phone.
3. Genius bar- found nothing wrong with phone but replaced with a brand new phone.
4. New phone- restored from backup.
5. New phone- restored to factory then start over as a new phone.
Problem STILL occuring!!!!!

Bug (reported to Apple) - Slide to unlock occasionally fails!
Hello folks,
Below is a copy of my bug report, I just missed an urgent call (with no call back number)... so I was prompted to finally report this problem!
Has anyone experienced this (I noticed some similar reports but none that exactly match my description).
NOTE: Please do not suggest that I turn off the "Slide to unlock" feature. I need to engage it, otherwise I will lose access to my corporate email.
Report----------------
Phone: iPhone 4
iOS: 4.3 (8F190)
I am experiencing a problem with the Slide to Unlock feature.
It is an inconsistent problem which is hard to repeat intentionally. However, it seems to occur randomly, about every 1 in 15 calls.
I believe the conditions related to the problem are as follows:
- Phone enters Auto-Lock mode (5 minutes)
Password Lock is engaged
- Screen off (phone not in use for more than 5 minutes)
Problem description:
When I receive phone call, I attempt to slide the "Slide to unlock" slider to the right. The slider does move to the right as intended, however, it has no affect on displaying the keypad.
The expected result should be the numeric keypad so that I can enter my keycode. As previously mention, these actions to answer a call do work more than 90% of time.
Additionally, pressing the Home button or the power button also has no affect while the phone is still ringing.
Only after the ringing has stopped do I regain control of the phone.
Note: This is not a new problem with iOS: 4.3 (8F190), rather, this did begin with the last iOS version.Mine did it too, I would swipe the slide to unlock and the first attempt
failed usually 50% of time. I've since reactivated my old Nokia N95 until
we see what the next gen iPhone holds for us. My iPhone 4 was nothing
but trouble.
Despite this problem (which occurs rarely) and a few other idiosyncrasies, I can't agree with your statement. Since upgrading from the Android platform, the iPhone 4 is (by far) the very best phone I have ever owned!
It is hard to feel sorry for all those Android 'suckers' out there still complaining and hating their service providers for not releasing the latest aOS fixes. Complaining about bugs that will likely never get fixed...that is unless they upgrade to new Android hardware. Android... NEVER AGAIN!
BTW, I am no fanboy... I am just pleased with the iPhone user experience! -
When we miss a call, the "Slide to Unlock" doesn't respond to touch. The only way out is to have someone call your iphone and then "Slide to Answer" will respond and once u end the call it will start responding to "Slide to Unlock" this started happening after upgrading to IOS 7.
iphone 4S IOS 7.0.3.In your first post you mention you have done a reset and a restore. Those are the last two processes in the user troubleshooting. If those do not work, then the last thing is to go to the Genius Bar. You say you went to Apple and they opened the phone and re-seated the connectors? That sounds unusual, because if there was a hardware issue,they would replace the hardware. You say you cannot get a replacement, is that because you are out of warranty? An out of warranty replacement is only $199 plus tax. It seems to me since you mention the fact you need to press hard to get the screen to react there is something going on with the hardware. If this problem has been going on for over a year, have you been reporting this to Apple. You say you cannot get a replacement and you are on the second phone, I wonder why they are denying you a replacement. Is there something you are not telling us??

My iphone doesn't ring when it's unlocked .. i have calls but the screen still black and when i slide to unlock the screen i found i had missed calls
i have tried manythings but it doesn't work
i put it in silent mode and i found my calls comes normaly and it works good but when i turn on ring mode it's back as it how can i fix that ?!Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

My IPad 4 goes dark right after "slide to unlock" appears...
New user here...
When I turn on my IPad4, the Apple logo appears, then the "slide to unlock" bar...At this point, the "slide bar" is not operational. If I try to slide it, nothing happens. After about 2 seconds, the screen goes black, as if it is going into sleep mode. Then I push the home button, the screen comes back, and the slide bar operates normally, and everything operates normally thereafter.
Two questions...
1) Has anyone else seen this?
2) It's annoying, is there any way to get it the slide bar to work right away?Ok, so here's the update...
I did the soft reset, and that didn't do anything. It still behaved the same way. I called Apple Support (this IPad is brand new), and they said to bring it back for an exchange.
So I exchanged it for the same unit, yesterday.
The first couple times I booted up the new unit yesterday, it was fine, slide to unlock worked.
Now today, this one is doing the exact same behavior. Slide to unlock isn't operational, and the screen does dark until I hit the home button to get the screen back. Then everything works fine.
I'm starting to think this is "normal", but I can't get anyone to confirm or deny that. No one else has this behavior? -
IPhone freezes after slide to unlock
After update to 5.0.1 my iphone is now unable to be locked as when i slide to unlock it freezes (iphone 3gs)
As lots of users I am having the problem that my iPhone takes many seconds to unlock once I "slide to unlock" it could sometimes take 5 to 10 seconds before my telephone reacts.
This is really anoying, because I can't even pick up a phonecall when this happens, I have to wait untill my phone stops ringing, and then I suddenly can unlock the phone and I have to call that person back (this cant be the meaning of a phone)
I recently noticed that this must have to do with wifi. I disabled wifi for almost 2 weeks, and I never noticed the problem again. The moment I put wifi back on, the same problem starts again. the screen stays black when I want to get it out of sleep, and after a while it gets back to life.
The part that makes me angry is that I have this problem for a long time. and always everyone said to me it was because of the 'coma mode' so I supposed it to be a software problem and the update would fix it. Now last month my warranty and support expired, and I have updated my phone to the new 3.1.2 (which I tought would solve the problem) but now it seems not to be a software problem, and my phone is just not capable to run wifi and reacty normal at the same time! If I had known this earlyer I would have give it back to Apple, to get a new one, one that works while I still had warranty (last month). But since that coma mode problem I let my warranty expire and thought the new update would fix my problems.
So this leaves me with a phone advertised to have wifi, but actually is not able to use wifi. (at least not if you want to make sure you can answer your calls whenever they come in)
I know I won't get any feedback from Apple (I have to pay to get feedback of course) but I just wanted to say this.
Maybe this could help people with the same problem. -
When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution
I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

Im having trouble getting my macbook pro to boot up after a fail safe boot, im getting as far as the grey screen with the apple loggo. so im trying to run a disk repair but is saying the disk is locked, how do i unlock disk??
Some clarification may help.
You say you cannot boot normally. It shows a gray screen with the Apple logo.
Did you say it will boot successfully in Safe Mode (boot, then hold down the Shift key)?
How did you boot the machine to run Disk Utility? (Which keyboard combinations)? -
How to avoid redialing failed calls when unlocking an iphone
when using my iphone 4 with ios7 in my car via bluetooth, i have the issue that when a call drops for one or other reason; the iphone wants to recall that failed call when unlocking my iphone at arrival.
This is new since i upgraded my phone to ios7. with earlier versions i never had this issue.
it looks to me to a mistake in the software statemachine where missed calls are kept in a buffer, even when i redialed the person using my car kit just some minutes later.And the worst and most stupid thing happens when that person already called you back. And while talking with them again you take your phone and try to unlock it to go to home screen (for ex to reply to a message you just received), and it starts calling a person you speak right now)). And they are asking: we are talking already, how did you just call me????
