[Q] incoming call hybrid answer mode? - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else noticed that when you receive a call sometimes you have the option to press answer or ignore and other times you get slide up or slide down to answer or reject? Is there anyway to just have one of them? And also why isn't there an option to clear the incoming call screen? It just stays there until I pick answer or ignore.. on my g1 I would press back and it would clear and let me get back to my business. Also is there a way that I can just have the slide up or slide down to answer? The on screen keys always press when pullin the phone out of my pocket.. super annoying

the option you get is determined whether or not you phone display is on (locked or unlocked) at the time.

Oh ok.. thanks. I couldn't pinpoint it.. I guess once root is available then I can completely shut down the answer on the screen feature. Thanks again

you think there is any chance we could get phone calls non intrusively like webos

Possible to disable screen for incomming calls?

I dont know if anybody can help, but the 1 thing that annoys my about my BA/wm6 is when you get a call, the screen is active, so when your geting it out of your bag or wher ever your touching the screen and loading up progs and stuff.
So is there a app or anything that will disable the screen when its ringing? At the moment Im using slide to unlock, and that will disabled the screen when calls are connected but not when ringing???
so why does the software companion make it?
I think to see the contacts incoming call!
Jejeje think about it... it cant be done man
Ive made it a tad better cos theres a option in s2u that ive found and it displays the s2u screen when you get a incomming call with just answer and end buttons at the bottom of the screen. I wanted those buttons gone aswel, but you cant have everything can you. The most important thing that Ive got rid of the today screen when you receive incomming calls.

Disable screen wakeup on incoming call

The reason for this is when I am in the car and am using the bluetooth to answer the phone is in my case on my belt. When I get a call the screen comes on and even after the call is completed it stays on for 2 minutes. I then end up calling someone in the last called list if the screen bumps the case. I don't notice because my dumb car always wants to download the phonebook after every call and the stereo doesn't connect the outgoing call. Then someone tells me that they got 2 minutes of my music on their voicemail if they didn't answer. Ended up being very embarrassing when call went out and I made some comments that "someone" was not supposed to hear.
I looked with the advanced config tool but could not find anything.
Any ideas appreciated.
Tks
Perhaps stopping the screen from waking is too drastic. This means you effectively disable caller-id. I would suggest looking into installing a screenlock tool.
I am trying pocketshield for now. I was going to look at su2u but I was told that incoming calls still turned the screen on. Will see how this works for a few days.
Thanks
Well I tried pocketshield and it doesn't really do what I need. It still lets the damn phone call after I have hung up. It leaves the screen on and at the lasted called screen. bump the screen and it calls one of my last called list. Going to try Touchprolock now and see how that goes...
I have "locked" (AT&T stock ROM - using long press end key to lock) my device and then hit the power button momentarily.
This turns off the screen. When an incoming call hits, screens lights up. After call is terminated, screen turns off.

Notifications menu pop up

Hi all,
This is probably on here somewhere but could not find it, so if i duped this issue i am sorry, but all the time when im on a call on my tilt 2, my ear must hit the notification bar and when i go to look at my phone to hang up or whatever, the notification menu thing is showing. I am ok with the notification messages when i have them just not ok with the menu opening by my ear. is there a way to disable this when im on a call or something.
I did see ways to turn of notifications, but will that disable the menu from opening?
Thanks guys,
JC
I also have this problem. Any fixes for it? Im running Stock Sprint 6.5 ROM. It's pretty annoying.

The TP 2 has a proximity sensor that should turn off the screen when it is close to your face. The screen should be blank if you bring it from your ear to look at it. Does this happen?
The screen SHOULD be unresponsive when held to the ear...
I think what happened is the phone was moved to the face too quickly before the proximity sensor can respond. I have tmo tp2 with stock wm6.5 and has the same issue.
I have used the rhodium keyboard customizer and reassigned the long hold back button to lock, so I often lock the phone before I actually put it near my ear.
Sorry for the delayed replay, what button is the long hold?

Push to answer NOT Slide to answer

Hi all,
I was wondering, is there a way or app to change the way to answer the touch pro 2 /tilt 2? I know everyone loves slide to answer, however i like my answer or reject soft button. Anyone know of a tool to have buttons instead of the slider?
Thanks.
You could try S2U2. If you activate the caller id under the S2U2 settings and turn the slide to answer off, you will get the answer and reject buttons. The screen won't be the same, but it will give you the buttons instead of the slider.
I hate the slide to answer on the phone because every once in a while when I take my phone out, the screen flips causing what would normally slide to answer to be a slide to reject.
I have missed MANY calls because of that crap. I hate it.

The phone application is not normally configured to change orientation according to the G-Sensor. Its possible that the phone application was somehow added to the G-Sensor whitelist due to a mod you made. You can remove it from the G-Sensor whitelist (use this forum's search function), which I recommend, since having the phone app on the whitelist causes all sorts of issues.
The other possibility is that you are using a case that has a magnetic clasp, which is causing the phone to think the hardware keyboard is open (this is triggered by a magnetic sensor). There is a registry edit to prevent this.

Call Screen Issues?

Has anyone else experienced the call screen changing between two different versions during incoming calls? Sometimes my call screen shows a swipe to answer function, and other times it shows a press to answer function. While both work just fine, it is annoying and I personally prefer the swipe to answer call screen. I have looked through the settings and didnt see anything that would affect that, so is there an app I could freeze that would fix this? Im currently on rooted 13B but I had this same issue on stock and rooted 11A.
Just found the answer. The call screen is swipe to answer when the phone is locked and press to answer when unlocked. I don't know why I never made that connection.. But there it is.
