Beeps during the call

My iPhone will beep loud every 15 seconds to everyone but me when I am the creator of a conference call. The tone continues for the person left on the line when everyone has left the call. Beeps start and continue, if the call was in every way a conference call.

I tried to switch my SIM from one android phone - that silenced the beeps of call completely. I interpret this to mean that the beep is actually produced by the phone itself. My carrier refuses also informed of the problem.

I'm running iOS 9.3 and saw this problem persists through several updates. I would appreciate help with this because it doesn't seem to be a problem that many people share.

You use an application to create the conference call? Have you contacted the developer of the application? The company that hosts the conference bridge?

    Is anyone know the cause of the problem, and if there is a fix?

    Thank you

    Ian

    He has all the symptoms of a bug in Vix which has been fixed in version 1.8. When Vix tries to open a virtual machine on a system of video conferencing with multiple data centers, there is a race that could cause memory corruption.

    Update should fix the problem.

  • Black screen during the call I phone 6 more

    BBlack screen while on a call to the phone I 6 more

    The screen is supposed to close during a call. As soon as you press it against your ear, the proximity sensor is turning off screen, in order to avoid "plays the numbering" or similar effects.

    If the screen is not active as soon as you lift the phone to your ear, check if the proximity on the top of the screen sensor is not covered by a protective film or the case, if you use one.

    Have you ever tried to force reboot the phone by holding down the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again?

    You won't lose data by resetting, but it can cure a few glitches.

    To make sure that it is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any data backup later. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.

    If the phone works again, restore the last backup. If the problem returns, the data backup contains damaged data, causing your issues.

    If this still does not work after that, get the phone checked for hardware problems by visiting an Apple store or Apple authorized service next to your site provider.

    Or contact the Apple Support to send it.

    Use iTunes to restore your device to factory settings - Support Apple iOS

  • BlackBerry 10 Z10 Home icon during the call

    Hello

    I just upgraded my curve 8530 Z10 and just learn the use of the new hand held device.

    I noticed that when I'm on a call I can't view other applications like email, textmsgs, bbm and contacts.

    With your old phone, you can click on the home button during a call and read emails and textmsgs.

    Can you please give me directions how?

    Thank you
    Rachel.

    While you are in a call, drag the bottom bezel up as if you were about to look at your Hub.  This will reduce the phone app while keeping the active call.  You can then bounce in and out of other applications while your call is still in progress.  To end the call, press the call key in the lower left corner to go back to the call screen where you can end the call.

    I hope that helps you.

  • IPhone 6 does not display the caller of time during the call

    Hi, when I get a call or call someone, my Iphone displays the call only. How can I change to decide the call times?

    Hello ghtung,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I know that seeing not only the timer for the duration of the phone call on your iPhone, it's not what you expect. Because this is not the expected behavior of the iPhone software, I recommend the following steps to troubleshoot and resolve this problem:

    First, restart the device as the closing down and starting process is important to keep the iOS software works correctly. Then test again the question:

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    If you are still missing the call timer after reboot, your next step would be to make a backup of your personal data and then reset the setting on your iPhone. Now, don't worry, this will not affect your content. All your contacts, photos, music and other stuff are all safe. What it will do is give your custom to the factory default settings. Background, images, sounds, fingerprints and stuff like that will be set up again. Then test the issue again.

    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    Reset the settings of the iPhone - iPhone user Guide

    See you soon!

  • My motorcycle G keeps beeping during a call

    My motorcycle G makes a sound when I am on call. I can not hear it but can be heard on the other side which is very annoying. How to solve this problem? Here are the apps that I have installed which I think you need to know:

    (1) Intelligent voice recorder

    (2) voice search

    (3) Skype

    (4) Robin

    (6) PChord

    (7) perfect piano

    (8) detector rope ZAX

    (9) rope! Free.

    Uninstallation of the application issue works 99% of the time. I saw a few apps that never uninstall cleanly, but this is rare.

    I know not what app may be able, but if one of them interact with the calling function, or have auto-save options, I'd look there first.
