Nov 26, 2014 3:56 AM in response to iamatleast13yearsoldby frindley,This works for me:
To turn off Phone Calling on your iPad or iPod Touch, go to FaceTime under Settings and switch off iPhone Cellular Calls. On your Mac, open the FaceTime app, then go to Preferences under FaceTime, and tap Settings. From there, switch off the iPhone Cellular Calls option.
Found it here:http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/131449-why-s-my-mac-taking-my-iphone-calls-how-t o-turn-off-apple-continuity
I realise it doesn't quite solve the issue of FaceTime "knowing" whether the call has already been answered on another device, which I agree is a flaw. But in my case, I don't want to receive regular phone calls on my Mac at any time. Only the very rare FaceTime call. So turning off cellular calls is a solution of sorts.

Nov 26, 2014 12:23 PM in response to frindleyby iamatleast13yearsold,frindley, thank you for your thoughts. It doesn't solve the problem as I definitely do not want to turn off the ability to receive FaceTime calls on my Mac or my phone. The new feature is awesome. Unfortunately, though, this bug makes it unusable in practice. It really should not have been released with this major flaw.
