Using earbuds for phone calls.

Does anybody know if there is a way to answer a call when it comes in while listening to internet radio?? What I have to do now, is to stop the internet radio (not just pause), then get to the home screen, unplug the ear buds, then answer the phone. Is there an easier way to deal with this???

I have a similiar problem.  The centre control button and the volume controls just stopped working. Can't answer calls or skip tracks when playing iPod.  The controls on the iPhone itself still work fine with the earbuds connected.  Seem to just happen overnight.  Bought a brand new set of Earbuds, suspecting it was the buds but exactly the same results.  Non repsonsive controls.  Very disappointing.
Unlike you, the mic built in to the phone does not seem live with the buds plugged in to the iPhone.
Have you found a solution ?  Any help would be appreciated.  My iPhone 4 is just 6 months old.

  • How to set up Touch to use Skype for phone calls?

    I use Skype with my iMac for making phone calls and would like to do the same with my new iPod Touch. I've looked in the Touch User's Guide but have not been able to find a procedure for setting up the Touch to accomplish this. I would appreciate feedback on how to do this from those who are successfully using Skype with their Touch units. One thing I am curious about is whether I can sync my Touch with the Skype program--including phone numbers-- already present on my iMac.

    Yes and no... you will have two versions of Skype on your computer, but one will only be appearing in iTunes and your iPod since they are two different app.
    You can still have both Skype application open and loged into your account at the same with no problem. There is no special setup to do on your iPod more than login into your account and having credits into your account, exactly as you probably done with Skype on your computer.

  • I like to use mac for phone calls but I cannot see hand off device feature in preferences

    Hi,
    I can send and recieve messages from my mac using IOS 8.1 and yosemite but unable to make phone calls. I check the video on how to make phone calls & it asking me to put a check mark under hands off device under general preference but somehow I'm not seeing that option on my computer. What I need to do?

    Handoff is limited to Macs with Bluetooth 4.0, which leaves many older Macs unable to access the new features. Additionally, even though the 2011 MacBook Air and 2011 Mac mini include Bluetooth 4.0, Apple has chosen to make both devices incompatible with OS X Yosemite's Continuity features.

    can i use ipad wi-fi +cellular for phone calling?

    Yes, another good VOIP resource.
    Though it's important to understand that this is NOT cellular calling. The SIM in the iPad remains usable ONLY for data connectivity. There is still no voice or text capability through the operator network.

  • IPhone 3GS - Can I use existing US t-mobile SIM and German O2 SIM cards (for phone calls) without buying a data plan?

    I currently use 2 phones to make calls: one t-mobile locked phone for the US and one O2 locked phone for Germany, both without data plan.
    Can I upgrade using just one phone (factory unlocked iPhone 3GS)  and continue to use the existing SIM cards for phone calls (just switching the SIM cards when necessary), but use free WIFI spots worldwide for internet access/data transfer?
    Thanks Michael

    No supported carrier, including T-Mobile in the U.S., permits the use of an iPhone without a data plan. Though it's technically possible to do it, if and when they find you, they will either charge you for a data plan or shut down your account.

  • How to set iPhone Bluetooth to be just for phone calls?

    Is there a way to setup an iPhone 4s/5, iOS 6, to use the bluetooth only for phone calls?
    I don't want music, youtube, google maps, or any app to go thru my car speakers. Phone calls work fine because the car will switch to Bluetooth audio automatically for those. I usually have my car audio set to radio so no apps are audible in the car unless I manually switch the car to Bluetooth Audio but then I can't listen to the radio.

    The only way around this, depending on the car system,
    is connect the iPhone to the unit via USB.
    At least with my Ford SYNC system, I can pair via
    Bluetooth and connect the USB and select USB audio
    on the Ford unit and in the Music app on the iPhone.
    Doing this, all phoner functions go via Bluetooth and
    everything else is over USB.
    Perhaps your car system supports something similar
    or not.  If it doesn't, there is nothing you can do.

    after update 7.1.0. my sound only works for phone calls,emails etc, but not for music or games

    Maybe I understood your problem. Get to Settings > Sounds > Ringers and Alerts >Turn Change With Buttons to Off. And if your Side Switch is assigned to 'Mute', turn it back on, else, use the control center to turn off mute.

  • Reminder beep for phone calls?

    Is there any way to turn on or install a reminder beep for phone calls that have been missed?

    No this is not supported and although I understand some people prefer having an ongoing notification when there is a missed call or voice mail until the missed call is checked, this is the first cell phone I've used without this which I'm pleased with. All the other phones I've used include this which requires handling the phone to turn off the notification - without an on/off selection which is annoying to me so if Apple decides to add this feature with a future update, I want an on/off selection and if not, I want the download for this feature to be optional.
    You can provide Apple your feedback about this here which is no guarantee Apple will include it with a future update.

  • Changing volume for phone calls.

    is there any way to change the volume for phone calls besides the outside volume key?? I tried "sounds" in settings and it did not work.

    Your volume switches work differently depending on what you are doing. You may get a readout above the "speaker" symbol that appears on the screen telling you what volume is being adjusted.
    If you are not using anything, the volume switches adjust the ringer volume.
    If you are playing music or video, they adjust the music/video volume.
    If your headphone are plugged in, they adjust the headset volume.
    If you are actually on a call, the adjust the earpiece volume or speakerphone volume (without a readout).
    If you are on a phone call using bluetooth, they adjust the bluetooth volume.
    Dial a recording like the National Time Signal (303) 499-7111 and adjust the volume during the call.

  • My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

  • Lync doesnot use microphone for audio calls in Mac

    Hi,
    When Im calling from my Lync the person on the other side cannot hear my voice. Im using lync on my mac. This used to work before but has suddenly stopped working. My lync version is 14.0.10 and my OSX is 10.9.5. I use skype for audio calls on the same machine
    and it works well

    Hi AshwanG,
    You can configure your audio device settings in Lync Preferences. In the Lync Preferences window, click the Audio tab.
    If you are having audio problems, and you can't resolve them within the Lync for Mac client, you can specify the input and output devices in your system sound settings:
    Open
    System Preferences and select Sound.
    Select the appropriate settings for "Output" and "Input".
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • Ringer Sound doesn't work for phone calls.

    I can't get my iPhone 4S sound to work for receiving phone calls.  Sound selected along with vibrate for phone calls.  Miss calls everytime.  Volume turned up and turned on.

    Two things to check
    Is the Mute switch ON ?
    Do you have Do Not Disturb set ON ?

  • Why is the decline button for phone calls not available when the phone is locked? I need that button and it shows only when the phone is not locked on iOS 7

    Why is the decline button for phone calls not available when the phone is locked? I need that button and it shows only when the phone is not locked on iOS 7

    Yep. You need to touch the sleep/power button once to silence the ring, and twice in order for the call to go directly to Voicemail.
    Personally, I dont understand why Apple eliminated this. If you wish to give Apple feedback, do it here:

  • HI I have an Iphone 3GS and the microphone jack works when I play music but not when making phone calls.   please help as I use it for conference calls

    Hi   I use my phone for conference calls and use the microphone jack to connect to speakers.      It doesnt work when making phone calls but when i play music on the phone the jack works with the external speaker.   

    Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
    BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:
