Hi Patrick,

 

Well, it very well could be user error, given my newness to the phone, but I
don't think so.  Yes, I did hold the phone flat.  And yes, I have been able
to stop and start a song in the Ipod.  And I've been able to hang up from
other calls.  I really think that this is a weird bug, related only to being
sent to someone's Voicemail.  I think the problem may have something to do
with the fact that when leaving a voicemail, the hang up isn't mutual.  I
know that sounds weird, but it's the only thing I can think of that would be
different.  I'm going to call my husband tomorrow and try this again.

 

Thanks, and let me know if you come up with anything I haven't thought of.

Take care,

Donna

Hello Donna and all:

Hmm, feeling rather sheepish ... this should work. Let me ask a question if
I may ... just for yucks and giggles.

 

When you pull the phone away from your ear are you holding it flat ...
parallel to the ground or if it were flat on a table when doing the two
finger tap? Do not laugh at me or think that this is more complicated than
it ought to be. I am just confounded (and curious) what the deal is. I know
it is not user error. 

 

Just wanted to toss that out because hanging up should not make you crazy
... I am gonna do this one more time. 

 

Oh, just as a point of reference ... have you been able to stop and start a
song in itunes? the same motion that hangs up the phone stops a song playing
in itunes. and, if the phone rings can you answer the call? again, same
gesture.

 

Good luck and if this persists we may have to call you ... mysteries like
this have us climbing the walls (wink).

 

Good luck and take care

Hi Patrick,

 

No worries, it's not going back to the store.  It was just such a strange
thing, because nothing I did seemed to work.  I did try all the things you
suggested, but couldn't hang up.  And I couldn't hear any VO noises, no
voice, no clicks, no nothing.  Well, I was calling my husband at work, so
I'm sure I'll have ample opportunities to practice. *grin*

Best,

Donna

Hello Donna and all:

 

Public service announcement ... do not take out the battery. In fact, I
believe it has to be done by the manufacturer ... though do not hold me to
that one (smile).

 

A few ideas ... believe it or not it makes a difference sometimes if you
hold the phone away from you when you are done. Double tapping the phone
with two fingers ought to hang it up. Or, holding the phone away from your
face should cause the Iphone to speak through the loud speaker. If you place
your finger near the bottom of the screen you should hear an option. Flick
to the right until you hear the end button. Just a quicker way to track it
down if you are in a hurry (smile). I would start with the two finger tap
though. It does work though you might have to practice a tad. I did (smile).

 

Good luck and if this does not work you have my permission to write back and
threaten to take it back to the store ... I will do it for you (wink).
Attempting to assist in avoiding the anxiety (smile).

 

Take care.

Hi all,

 

I am finding that after one is transferred to a voicemail, it is literally
impossible  to end the call once you've left your message.  The end call
button simply isn't spoken.  Has anyone found a work-around?  Also, in the
absence of a work-around, how do you take the battery out.  That would at
least end the call.

Best,

Donna

 

Take good care and I wish you enough.
