There are at least 3 different ways to deal with this, the easiest is to simply press the home button, it will stop the timer and return you to the call. Pushing either the volume up or down buttons once will have a similar effect, it will stop the sound of the timer, but it will leave the banner up on the screen. If you are able you can also touch near the top left of the phone, at the very top is the signal strength and your provider, just underneath is where notification banners show up and it will say "Clock, now, timer" You can double tap on that and it stops the sound and opens the timer or you can swipe up or down on this banner and you get the following options: Clear More Activate Double tapping on clear will also stop it. As I said, pushing the volume up or down buttons stops it, but that "clock, now timer" is still there, normally if you are on a call and you for example press the home button to go out of the phone app to the home screen it will show "Touch to return to call" up there. If you are using a headset or are on speakerphone you might be on a call and want to look up something for the person you speak with, maybe somebody's phone number. You can then press Home to go to your home screen which will not disconnect the call, you can then open say the Contacts app and do whatever you want to do and if you want to return to the call that is in progress you can do that by touching up near the top left where it says "Touch to return to call". You have to find it since you can't swipe to it, it's above your top left app and below the provider information in the status bar. You can also return to the call by double pressing the home button to bring up the app switcher and there will be an item called "Phone call with" and that is followed by either the number or, if the number is in your contacts, by the word "Active". But just remember, when in doubt, press the home button.

Yesterday I had my phone timer set for 20 minutes. About half way through, I got a phone call from a person, that when she calls, there's no getting out quickly. So, the timer went off. Finally, I told her I needed to see if I could stop it, because it just was not quitting. Naturally, two-finger double hung up the call, but it also turned off the timer all in one whack. So, I had to call her back. Question: what should I do in the future if timer on and call comes? Thanks.
