Sometimes when I get a phone call, I answer by pressing the answer hardware button and instead of answering it cancels the call. It's so annoying, is there a workaround?
I haven't had that problem, but I would suggest that if you hope for anyone to help you, you should change the title of your post to something like "Phone hangs up pressing hard answer button".

Ya i get the same problem... Honestly i think it has happened to me when i have been in the middle of doing something like playing a game, writing an email, etc.... and then the calls come through, and cause there arent enough resources the phone crashes and fails to answer.
Happens to me, too, but as mentioned above I don't think it's an issue with the button....usually it's when I'm syncing.
I HATE it, too!!! Activesync sucks up all resources and even though I see the screen pop up with a call (before it even rings), I press answer and it doesn't respond for 5-10 seconds and the call is gone.
That burns me up. I wish there were some dedicated CPU cycles for the phone app in there somewhere.

I don't know if you GSM guys have had this problem, but my CDMA Diamond seems to.
Whenever I receive a call and I press the "Answer" button or hard key, it doesn't seem to connect instantly and allow me to talk. It would stay at the menu and I could continue to press "Answer" with nothing happening. Then after a minute it would finally connect and I can talk, provided the other person hasn't hung up yet.
Anyone know any solutions?
EDIT: Oh snap, just noticed I put this in the wrong section. Could a mod please move this to Diamond? Thanks.
Hi Guys,
Ive noticed that sometimes when i use the speakerphone (either by pushing the on-screen button or flipping the phone over), it works fine. However, once the call is over, the touchscreen is deactivated it seems. Nothing works. Cant press anything. As for the hardware buttons, the windows button works, and the power button works. The volume, call, and end call buttons do nothing.
Not sure if this is relevant, but I only notice it if the phone was flipped over (with touchscreen down). If i used speakerphone with the phone facing up, doesnt seem to happen.
The only ways ive found to fix this are to soft reset with that little button under the cover, or to miss a call. (obviously, if a call comes in, I cant answer it as none of the ways you'd use to answer a call still work). After the call is missed though, the touchscreen comes back to life.
any ideas??
thanks
havent notice quite this.. but something similar...
when i wanna make a quick phone call
i open the keyboard type name of contact,
select the contact and hit enter to make the
phone call.. when i close the keyboard to turn
the phone to my ear, half of the screen looks
normal and have of it looks all MESSED UP...
im sure is not a hardware problem or anything.. ( well i hope so )
i think is not bcuz it only do it on that situation..
besides that my screen is normal..
bump
phone been around a while now...maybe someone else noticed this problem...
I've noticed that sometimes my phone will go into "sleep" mode like when you quickly press the power button. Maybe a quick tap of the power button to wake it up will help.
Maybe it's just me but I would like to go to my home screen when I end a call instead of back to the dialer/phone. I searched but couldn't find anything on that.
Anyone know how to do this or care to figure it out?
This is too easy....press the hardware End key?
You may want to elaborate if this isn't what you're after...

I take it you're like me and you spam the end key about 5 times at the end of a call?

Ok now I feel stupid. Thanks though, I would probably never have thought of that on my own.
Is it possible to get the onscreen end key to do the same?
I made a post with a similar problem a while back and had no replies to fix it.
The contents are as follows:
Tilt2, End call, looking at contacts! Why?
Tilt2: If i get a call and hit the end call button, why am i left looking at my contacts. It ONLY happens on incoming calls. If i end call on a call i made, from within my contacts, it goes back to the main screen!

My problem is that i use spb mobile shell and after i end the call, the phone relocks. When i later unlock the phone, i am still looking at the contacts.
Ok I don't feel so stupid. Hardware key does the exact same thing as soft key. Phone isn't fast enough to hit it twice in succesion and lock the screen in one fluid motion so I go back to my original request.
Anyone know how to get it to go from end call (soft or hard butotn) directly to home screen instead of to the dialer?

Not sure if it has anythign to do with it or not, but might it have something to do with the phone asking if you want to add them to your contacts and maybe you are inadvertantly hitting somethign sending you to your contacts?
I've not had any issue with it pulling up my contacts unless I accidently hit something.
Whoops, should read:
My problem is that i use S2U2 and after i end the call, the phone relocks. When i later unlock the phone, i am still looking at the contacts.
Im am positive i am not hitting anything on the screen because sometimes i hit the talk and speaker phone, then use the end call button. We have 2 of these and both do the same thing. It only happens if the phone was locked to start with. If the phone is not locked (figured this out playing them), once i end the call, the contacts screen will go away in 10 seconds or so.

Try this. Hit the End key and then the Back key in quick succession. This will bring you to your last opened window. If you didn't have any active windows, this will bring you back to your home screen.
Use this One Not Call Log Prefs from Android Market
Ok so this has been going on for a little while now. Sometimes it pretty much goes away and other times its really bad like today.
The problem is that when I go to call someone and press call, it will take a while to start ringing, and sometimes it won't even rung and I'll just start hear the person on the other end start talking.
Then the second issue is when I go to answer an incoming call. I can swipe the answer button over to answer it, and it will slide over but won't answer. I can slide it over a couple times and eventually it will answer. But sometimes by the time it does, it goes to voice mail.
And finally, when I go to hang up a call, I press the end button and it won't hang up right away. I can tap it a bunch of times and it will just hang up once it wants to.
Has anyone else had this issue and how did you solve if. I'm running stock rooted 5.1.1, it hasn't always done this so I know it's likely not related to the root process.
Any ideas?
I have the same issue. Running PaulPizz rom 5.1.1 rooted RE
So, I'm habitual about turning off my screen. I've noticed that occasionally if I leave the screen on the native messages app, and hit the power button to turn off the screen, it will sometimes trigger a phone call. The only way I can catch it in time is when I feel the phone vibrate.
Has anyone else have this problem? It's driving me a little crazy, because I can't seem to replicate it, it just happens spontaneously.
Not in the few times I tried it. I honestly don't like any of the Samsung built-ins so I only tried the message app for a few days. Like you I do usually hit the power button by habit mostly, but never noticed that.
