RE: Facetime for Apple users only?

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Tim,

Yeah I cut my call off if I press the middle of the buttons on my headphones, 
and these are the new wired lightening connector pods.

Simon,  It's just always worked for me.  I wonder if you're pressing a 
different area of the button on the ear-buds?  I press the centre of the 
buttons, the area where you'd play/pause/skip.  On the iPhone itself, if you 
press the up or down volume while a call is coming in, then it will silence the 
ringer, press the button a second time and the call will be sent directly to 
VoiceMail.  This also works with the Lock button.  So, keeping that in mind, I 
choose to press the centre button of the ear-buds as opposed to the up/down 
volume buttons.

I will test that later today if I get a chance.

Tim,

I find one of your comments interesting,

When I press the button on the ear pods I find it kills the phone call I’ve got 
coming in or in action,

Is there something you need  to do to enable the ear pod button to answer a 
call?

Hi,

Yes, if you're using your Apple ear-buds, you can talk just like you do with an 
iPhone or iPad.  I haven't been able to answer the call by pressing the button 
on the ear-bus though like you can when connected to the iPhone.

  The last time it happened, I was in the middle of something and did not want 
to get into a mess. So because the Mac has no phone app per se, all calls will 
come though Facetime?

  I assume if I have a headset connected, the audio will come through that. I 
will volunteer a friend to help me with this so I am better prepared. Thanks 
much, your tips will certainly prove useful.

Normally, when a call comes in, FaceTime will become the front most app.  So, 
you can use VO-right then VO-left once each and the Accept button will be

   No I just was not sure that there were two different things. I will 
be ok and may even play a prank a friend when I call her tell her my Mac 
has a phone.

   Is this the same as Wifi Assist? If it is, I have that option.

   By the way, on that same area in phone settings is "announce calls". 
I have it set to never but would like to know what it is as its

you can use VO-right then VO-left once each and the Accept button will be

answer the call.

Re: Facetime for Apple users only?

[Tim Kilburn]

Simon,  It's just always worked for me.  I wonder if you're pressing a 
different area of the button on the ear-buds?  I press the centre of the 
buttons, the area where you'd play/pause/skip.  On the iPhone itself, if you 
press the up or down volume while a call is coming in, then it will silence the 
ringer, press the button a second time and the call will be sent directly to 
VoiceMail.  This also works with the Lock button.  So, keeping that in mind, I 
choose to press the centre button of the ear-buds as opposed to the up/down 
volume buttons.

I will test that later today if I get a chance.

Hi,
 
Yes, if you're using your Apple ear-buds, you can talk just like you do with an 
iPhone or iPad.  I haven't been able to answer the call by pressing the button 
on the ear-bus though like you can when connected to the iPhone.

To answer E.T.’s question, I believe verizon does have WiFi calling.  They 
didn’t when I was there but I think it’s been added since.

Go to settings, phone, and look for a WiFi calling option and try enabling it.

Hi,

I tested this both yesterday and today, and pressing the return key did not

RE: Facetime for Apple users only?

[Simon Fogarty]

Tim,

I find one of your comments interesting,

When I press the button on the ear pods I find it kills the phone call I’ve got 
coming in or in action,

Is there something you need  to do to enable the ear pod button to answer a 
call?

Hi,

Yes, if you're using your Apple ear-buds, you can talk just like you do with an 
iPhone or iPad.  I haven't been able to answer the call by pressing the button 
on the ear-bus though like you can when connected to the iPhone.

Re: Facetime for Apple users only?

   I don't know if Verizon does but I have been checking out this 
handoff business this afternoon and think its going be cool. Now if 
Apple TV can join the party... Naw, when I watch tv I do not want 
distractions.


   This was a productive day. Now I know why sometimes I see icons on 
the lock screen. So cool. Now, E.T. can phone home from his Mac. (could 
not help myself)

Re: Facetime for Apple users only?

[E.T.]

   The last time it happened, I was in the middle of something and did 
not want to get into a mess. So because the Mac has no phone app per se, 
all calls will come though Facetime?


   I assume if I have a headset connected, the audio will come through 
that. I will volunteer a friend to help me with this so I am better 
prepared. Thanks much, your tips will certainly prove useful.

Re: Facetime for Apple users only?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Normally, when a call comes in, FaceTime will become the front most app.  So, 
you can use VO-right then VO-left once each and the Accept button will be 
there.  VO-space on this button and the call is on speaker phone through your 
Mac.  If you prefer, you can hit the tab-key a couple of times and the Accept 
button should gain focus, after which you can simply hit the space-bar to 
answer the call.

HTH.

Re: Facetime for Apple users only?

   Oh ok yes. I need to work with that as I do not intercept calls 
often and when one does come in, I am caught off guard with the flurry 
of alerts on the Mac. How best to handle that? Thanks. This would be 
good to know.
