How to reject an incoming phone call on iOS 7?

Eduardo, you spend too much time trying to define how this issue is not an issue.

The title of the Forums are called "support"....people come here for answers to issues.....you are playing semantics.....it is not productive.

Like most support Forums one hopes badged employees monitor the varoius threads for issues and improvments.

I will use the link you suggested to post my issue on this subject.

But it is my opinion.....because I live with it daily.....this removal of this feature is wrong decision by Apple.

I can tell you it is a serious PITA for me......and enhanced because my sleep/wake button is also failing....well known design flaw by Apple.

Except that the terms of use that you agreed to make it clear that Apple does not monitor these forums, other than to make sure that submissions do not violate the terms of the forum.

Try re-reading those terms of use.

As one of the posters above said......hitting the sleep/wake button wears it out.

One of my two 14month old iPhone 5's now has this well known issue where this button barely works.

No, it's not a particularly common issue. It's unfortunate that it has happened to you.

The sleep/wake button failure IS becoming a common issue. I get that with the zillions of phones Apple sells that it may be a small percent but that "percent" represents ALOT of people in #s. It is also very unfortunate that Apple will not respond for a recall or fix on their $$$ to what is very well documented on the web....just do a Google on the subject...as a design/quality flaw. They are videos on YouTube that show the breakdown by repair sites showing why this is breaking down.

Frankly, I'm a realist in that I expect a phone to start failing in some sort of fashion year 2-3.....after all they are in rough environments....the consumer, me. However, people are seeing this failure inside 12 months.....of course me, at 14 months so Apple does not warranty.

The ONLY reason I bring up on this thread is for some reason people defend that not having the DECLINE button on the lock screen should not be of a concern because you have this sleep/wake button I wanted post that this...what I consider "workaround".....has its issues.

I have gone to the proper Apple link to post my feedback......the point of my comments above it that people should not be so dismissive of others that an issue is an issue.

I agree,

It is simply common sense:

Why change somenthing that already works fine... ???

I have been taking off the noise for some calls, since I didn't know what to do...

Hope they put t back!!!

Submit your feedback directly to Apple:

http://www.apple.com/feedback

We've been submitting our feedback since October! Six months and several updates later it is obvious that Apple doesn't care. 😠

I agree with those who say Apple needs to bring the decline button back! The reason I want it back is because when I'm sitting at my desk, I don't want to have to hold the phone to press a button. I want to use my finger to swipe the face of the phone to end the call. If I have to press a button once or twice, I have to actually grip the phone and by the time I've done that the call has gone on too long.

One added way to stop the phone from ringing/vibrating is to hit the volume button. You can't double click to sent to VM, but it will stop ringing/vibrating.

Apple's attitude is horrible as well as many of the posters here who have the same "Oh well, deal with it" attitude. This attitude is front and center in Steve Job's book... so we have him to thank for this as well as the good he did.

I understand that Apple doesn't read these forums... but it appears they don't read their feedback site either!

This is why I HATE Apple computers and won't ever buy or use one.

Given that we, your fellow users, cannot effect the change you want, all we can do is tell give you the feedback link and point out that your choices are, yes, to deal with it or get a different phone. Did you expect us to wear sackcloth and ashes in sympathy?

I haven't the time to read all eight pages, but it appears I can only reject a call by sending it to voice mail. That is absurd! I see some say Apple doesn't bother reading this forum. So, it's just to let us complain to each other and not bother them?

If you actually bother to read the thread, you'll find the Feedback link for Apple. That is what they read.

But they don't read THIS one, which is what I said.

Pressing the Sleep/Wake button twice rapidly...Call ll got cut

these are not bugs, Apple has gone dumb and deaf and lost senses.

small small non convenciencies are not corrected since ios7, inspite of thosands of posts.

call rejection, small Caller pictures, photo resizing, ringer volume, no picts for contacts except fav contact these are intentionally kept in the name of design. Apple will not move, better you move to other phones.
