Strange lag/2 second delay when answering an incoming call on iPhone 5(verizon) - Page 2

NachoGrande · Oct 25, 2012, 01:54 PM

Same issue here. I can't believe how buggy IOS 6 has been.

same. I have at&t and just have learned to wait a second before talking.

I thought I was going nuts. My iPhone 4 of 2 years never had the issue, noticed it right way on my 5 (With Rogers in Canada)

I have had each iphone from day 1, and this has never been an issue before. I had another issue, for the first time, the iphone would not last through a day of work without a battery recharge. This never happened before, I would come home with 40-50% battery life. Researching the forums, I came across a fix for the battery problem: reset the phone (erase all data) and set up as a new iPhone (don't restore from iCloud) Apparently, there is a great deal of "baggage" that comes along, some people do this process (which is a lengthy pain in the a__) each time a new ios comes out. So I did this and the battery problem seems improved (at 65% at 5 PM) and the answer delay is gone! I'm so happy to not have to say hello 3 times!

me: Hi Honey, I've told you 100x that you need to wait a second before you say hello because the person on the other end can't hear you right away....

I think it's MORE frustrating that she can't just work around the issue by waiting, literally, 2 seconds before saying hello...

For what it's worth, it used to happen on her old Galaxy as well so maybe it's a trait of cell phones? I don't know.

LMAOOO!! My girlfriend says the sameee thing!!

I'm used to saying Hello twice when I answer the phone already.

It's annoying but I've been trying to teach myself to wait a second or two before saying anything when I answer.

Glad I'm not the only one. The 5 does it. Never happened on the 4 or 4S. I'm with Verizon. I wonder if it has something to do with antenna switching. In that the phone is using LTE for data and then when you answer a call, it has to switch to 1X for the voice. Maybe that switchover is causing the delay?

drditty · Nov 8, 2012, 06:21 PM

its not the iPhone 5, its the ios6 software choking on "baggage," try erasing and setting up as a new phone, it worked for me.

bhigh8 · Nov 10, 2012, 12:58 PM

Emmruiz12 · Nov 14, 2012, 08:17 AM

I have this same issues with iphone 5 call answering delay. It does not happen often. But one in a while it happens I need to say 3 hellos to get a response yet they hear none or one of the hellos. Anyone know or heard of a fix ?
