Yosemite Call Hand-off - My voice is muffled

I have a mid 2010 iMac (Yosemite) and an iPhone 4S (IOS8.1).
I was particularly excited about being able to make calls from my iMac with the release of Yosemite as I work from home a fair bit and it would be ideal for joining conference calls.
If I make a FaceTime call then everything is great - calls connect and the sound quality is good (both for me and the other person).
If I make a mobile call then it is a different story. The calls connect ok and I can hear the other person, but my voice is very muffled at the other end of the call. I purchased a Blue Yeti mic as I thought that might help, but it has not made any difference.
I used Garageband to test both the iMac and Yeti microphones and they are very clear.
Any ideas of how to solve it.

I have the same problem like you.
I bought Blue Yeti microphone and when I calling via handoff my voice is muffled.
It's strange because while conversation via Skype or FaceTime everything is ok.
I don't know how can I repair this.
Please help.

Which "Hands Off"- rules prevent iTunes and iMessage to connect with my apple ID data?

I think I've got a problem with my "Hands Off!" rules on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks 10.9.3.
I can't connect with my Apple IDs in the programms iMessage and iTunes Store. I just had a similar problem with my App Store: there where rules responsible for the problem, which names weren't apparently related to "App Store".
Do you know which "Hands Off!" rules have to be switched off/turned on?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
If you have a utility called Hands Off then I would use their web site.

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.

Hands off calling from Macbook pro to iPhone 5 not connecting

I cannot get my iMac to make a phone call using hands off through my iPhone. It continues to tell me they are not connected to the same Wi-Fi, and they are. I got it to work one time the day before after doing a soft reset on my iPhone. What can I do to correct this? All other features are working.

My iPhone does not notify me of calls in Voice Mail. I will see that I missed a call but there are no messages in VM. Cellular data is off - only voice roaming. Suggestions?

DJTayLo, Let's get your voicemail working! I noticed you metioned that your Cellular Data is off. Visual Voicemail does need to be connected to Cellular Data in order to retreive voicemails for the iPhone. This can cause the notifications to be delayed. When you turn Cellular Data on do the notifications then show correctly? Which model iPhone do you have? We'll figure this out.

Handing off a call from the iPhone to the Mac using Continuity?

Why can't I hand off a call from my iPhone to my mac using continuity? Am I missing something? Does't seem to allow me to do this, just the other way around. Any suggestions?

When the call is already in progress it doesn't allow you to do that; just the other way around.

HT6555 hi i am unable to find hand off in my mack book pro. Already i have upgraded my IOS to Yosemite

Hi
Few weeks back i have upgraded my Macbook Pro to Yosemite, it was working fine on SMS and Hand of features. Later my HDD crashed and reloaded the completed IOS. Then on i found Hand Off feature is not available.
Can u help me to resolve the issue.

Hi,
You will have to re-pair the Blue Tooth connection for the Handoff/Continuity stuff.
Although the linking of Messages on both iOS and Mac versions is very Blue Tooth like it is different and you will have to re-do this as well.
On the iPhone turn it Off. Then turn It On Again and use the item to view which devices are linked. You should see you Yosemite computer and selecting it will make the Code Number slide appear on the Mac again. It should be a different number to before.

Network Extender Dropping Calls when handing off to Outdoor Network

If I stand right next to my network extender, it works great. the moment I move outside a 15 ft ring, I begin to drop calls. i believe it is because my Blackberry is now getting a stronger signal from the outdoor network and I should be handing off to outdoor network. Instead of the call continuing, it drops. Also, the same thing happens when I am on a call inside my house, get into my car and drive away; I drop the call. I have called VZW Tech support and was told to power down the unit, yadda, yadda, yadda and call back if I still have the problem. Well, I still have the problem, so I am posting this in the hope someone has seen this and it saves me the hour long support call that doesn't resolve my issue...

I have the exact same problem with a Verizon/Samsung network extender that started dropping calls after about 30 seconds into a conversation. This problem started at almost the exact same time as those reported on this forum. Verizon has not once mentioned that it may be a problem on their end and we quit using the extender almost a year ago. However, with new smart phones in the household and multiple reception problems, we need to find a solution. I think Verizon owes its customers/supporters a solution since it sold the extender devices to the consumers at substantial expense. I for one, would like to either get my money back along with the time spent trying to rectify the problem, or get a solution that will allow us to carry on conversations in our home. It is ridiculous with the amount of money spent on monthly Verizon Phone bills, that we get such poor service - simply ridiculous!

My iphone 4s running ios8 doesnt have an option to toggle hands off on. should one exist?

I've just upgraded to Yosemite and wanted to run the hands off option but my iphone 4s with ios8 doesnt give me an option to turn hands off on.
Cheers

Only for Phone calls. Your Mac would also need to have Bluetooth 4.0 as well
(from: Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity)
To use Handoff, you need two or more of these Apple products:
iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus
iPhone 4s (sharing iPhone calls only)
iPad (4th generation), iPad Air
iPad mini, iPad mini with Retina display
iPod touch (5th generation)
These devices must use iOS 8 or later.

IPHONE 4S incoming calls go directly to voice mail. This is a brand new replacement phone. Prior phone didn't have this problem

Slide up from the bottom of your display to access the control panel.
Look for the button (should be at the top) that shows a crescent moon.
Tap that button. It should say "Do not Disturb: Off".
Then try it out and let us know if it worked.

ORA-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection

i had learned about this error here before, and i toke some notes as follows:

this means that it didn't reach the resource limites yet. What i can do to solve the problem ???
another important information is that connecting by the default listener LISTENER instead of the LISTENER_BKP_1 listener, the connection is completed successfully. There's enough SGA memory space too.
Tks,

ORA-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connectionDon't do Oracle on Windows, so I'm not sure how the following relates to the Listener dealing with a dedicated server connection request on Linux/Unix.
On Linux/Unix, a dedicated server request means just that - a dedicated process has to be started to service that client. The Listener does it by using the parameters of the configured listener.ora service to execute +$ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle+. This process then starts up, and the Listener hands off the client connection for this process for servicing.
If there is a failure somewhere on this series of steps fail, the Listener throws the ORA-12518 exception. For example, the +$ORACLE_HOME+ has been incorrectly configured in listener.ora and it fails to execute and startup a dedicated server process.
And this relates to the underlying error you are seeing:
TNS-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error
32-bit Windows Error: 2: No such file or directoryI think that the Listener on Windows uses the CreateRemoteThread() Win32 call to start up the server process thread. However, it needs a valid process identifier (of the existing Oracle instance) for this call - and thus needs to first identify the Oracle instance process. Could be that this step uses a ORACLE_HOME reference. And if that directory path is not valid, it is unable to identify the process id of the Oracle instance and thus unable to spawn a dedicated thread to service that client.

What is the operating system and database version for remote and local machines.
Are you using dedicated or threaded server on the remoted DB. More information is needed.

12518, 00000, "TNS:listener could not hand off client connection"

Hands Off! application interferes with App Store

I had a problem for the last couple days logging in to the App Store. A call to AppleCare resulted in them having me start up in Safe Mode. In that condition, all was normal with the App Store but, when I restarted normally, although I was still logged in to the App Store, I could not update apps nor could I purchase new apps. When Iogged out, I was unable to log in again.
The folks at Apple had me try several other tests, too numerous to describe here and, ultimately, not germane to the solution.
Since I had recently installed a program named Hands Off!, I suspected it was the culprit. My suspicion was correct. If anyone is having similar problems and has Hands Off! installed, I suggest you go to the Hands Off! preferences and click on the "Disable rules" icon in the toolbar. That solved the problem for me.

Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

After upgrading to IOS8.1 my microphone stopped working. cannot make a call, cannot record a voice memo, but Siri works !!!

after upgrading to IOS8.1 my microphone stopped working. cannot make a call, cannot record a voice memo, but Siri works !!! Surely this must be software since I presume there are not two microphones, one for Siri and one for everything else. Tried resetting, rebooting, switching off noise cancelling. What else is there?

(p.s. phone calls can be made from the mac, message is all synched...that part works...)

fixed it...
my behavior was very similar...it rarely intermittently worked...i somehow stumbled on the fact that it was a bluetooth issue...then i finally fixed it...now it works like a charm...here is a post i made after i fixed it...turns out it has to do with allowing "bluetooth and internet connection sharing..." here is a post a made with my solution...hope it works for you...
Had a similar problem...
open an app on mac...can see it on phone...
open an app on phone...cannot see it on mac...or see it once then its gone...
