[Q] Adding incoming call to the existing call - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm sorry if this was already asked and answered.
As the header says, I find no way to add an incoming call to the current call I'm in.
Scenario:
I'm talking to Caller1, Caller2 calls and I accept.
Issue:
1. All I can do is switch between the calls. There is no way to merge the calls. All I see four buttons [Dial pad, Speaker, Mic & Add call]. When I press 'Add call', it takes me to the initial dialpad/contacts screen.
2. There is no way for me to say which call I'm in. All it says is 'In call', the UI doesn't change when I press the swap button.
3. This is the biggest issue of all, you can not 'end' any one line with other line on hold. If you press the end button, both the lines get cut and a new call comes through from the on hold line.
Googled it and found nothing, either I'm missing something or no one seams to care.
Thanks in advance.

I've never been able to do this on Verizon. One thing I miss from my one year stint on T-Mobile.

This was working great in Razr, I don't think its a Verizon miss but a ICS issue. Though I might be wrong.
Can someone with a GSM GN please try this and let us know?
thanks

Bump. Have never been able to make this work on VZW with any device. Curious if it's possible.

must be a verizon issue.
i have a GSM GN on t-mobile running 4.02 and when i have two calls on, the right most button changes from the add call to a merge symbol and when pressing it it merges the two calls. Just tested this right now since i wasn't sure if i had done a merge on the GN yet.

How to prevent accidental dialing?

Dear all,
Is there any way to add a confirmation dialog for the number I am dialing from my Touch Pro2? I have accidentally dialed a few calls when I touch the contact quick links on my home page, and when I scroll through the call history or my contact list. I notice that this is a common problem for quite a few people but I have not been able to find a solution. Note that I am NOT asking for screening locking.
Thank you very much.
Welcome to forums
I have never made an accidental call...
You can always block your device
This is not about blocking. I have S2U2 installed and there is no pocket dialing or anything like that. What I am talking about is that when I look through my call history, scroll through my contact list or quick contact links, my finger action may not be a perfect scroll action to the phone so it start dialing right away.
I am new to the forum and can not post links here but if you google "touch pro2 dial confirmation", or "touch pro2 accidental dialing", this is a common problem, at least to new touchphone users.
I'm not a new touchphone user, and I completely know/agree with what you are talking about.
thank god. I thought it was me. For the first two weeks of owning this phone I actually would tell people who called me or that I called "I just bought a brand new phone so if you get a phone call from me and I do not leave a voice mail, it it because I dailed you by accident, sorry". Pretty embarressing especially for a business phone.
It is my first touch phone, but still .....
When you are on phone, do not try to scroll through recent call, especially with the keyboard up. And do not try to do it one handed, where you use your thumb to scroll. It doesn't work for me. My thumb is terrible at scrolling.
I then I don't realize that I am already on the phone screen and press the phone button.
Really cannot figure out all the ways I accidentally call someone. And it has mostly stopped. But still ....
I can usually press "End Call" before it starts ringing on the other end. But I agree that since the scroll gesture, and pressing to select/call are almost the same gesture, there should be a confirmation screen. Or they should make a scroll bar on the side (but that might clutter things up).
I have the same problem, and the end call button is to slow to stop the call. Calling happens so fast that even if I press the end call button immediately it rings at least once.
I've had touch phones for years.... This is just something you get used to. It will happen regardless of whether you are using an Iphone, Windows Phone etc etc.
You just have to be carefull I suppose, no other way around it. You would get very tired of having to confirm EVERY call you make I would think. I dont get any "accidental" calls any more. I havnt for years actually. It's just a matter of training your gestures I would think. When scrolling dont push your finger on a contact and hold it there but start at the bottom or top of the screen and start swiping your finger down (or up) before your finger touches the screen. The only time you get a "accidental" press would be if you start by pressing your finger down and leaving it there a second or ending with your finger on a contact for a second or so.
I'm somehow able to leave my finger on a contact and swipe up or down and it doesnt select the contact untill I actually hold my finger there so. It must just be a way you guys are doing whatever it is you are doing.
That's my two cents though!
I guess people get over this problem sooner or later so xda-developers, who are certainly experienced users of touch phones, do not feel a need to add such a confirmation box.
Anyway, confirmation box is not the only way to prevent accidental dialing. For example, if pressing end-call in 2 seconds actually stops dialing, I do not mind waiting 2 extra seconds for each call. Right now, even immediate end-call cannot stop a call.

I just noticed something, in Advanced Config, under "Phone", there is an item "End Call Delay". Its set to 3 seconds by default, which seems like a long time to delay ending the call. I've just changed it to 1 second, and going to see how that works out.
Advanced Config is here, if you don't already have it:

I must have had at least 50 accidental calls in the last month. Everytime I scroll through my recent history it somehow takes it like I clicked on a number to call...
can somebody please make a fix where I can click YES OR NO right before I make a call.. or maybe a 5 second timer with a cancel button before a call..
thanks a lot!!
btw.
i had an android and i used to use google voice so it would prevent accidently calling someone
google voice app for android has a message that pops up when you make a call that asks which number to use for the call (google voice, or phone)
something like that would work nice
Another thing that might be worth considering is tweaking the amount of pressure required with a touch to simulate a click. If you can find a sweet spot where you're able to select an item when you need to, and scrolling is still possible, could be worth a look. I think I've seen reg entries or tweaking programs that cover this, though it is possible they were for different HTC models, and perhaps ours doesn't register varying amounts of pressure? In which case, is it possible to alter how long you need to press on an item before a click is registered?
Not an answer re. wanting call confirmation, I realise, but something to consider, possibly.
I have the same issue with accidentally dialing numbers. Android has an app, think it's called "Confirm Call". A similar Windows Mobile app would be appreciated and used by many.
The trick is, to apply even pressure to the screen when scrolling up or down. Try not to let your finger press and release to quickly.

Weird "another" call screen?

Standard (edit: standard HTC desire) Froyo, answered a call while browsing the market, and suddenly had a very strange call screen.
It had 4 buttons (add call, pause call, in addition to normal mute and speaker) instead of the normal 2, and the lower bar a smaller end call button plus some extra ones!
Its back to normal after a restart...
Whats going on?

Thank you!
But those are not the sense screens (they are standard android) and not what I saw. Appreciate your help, must be difficult to imagine what I am trying to say just from a description. WIsh i had taken a foto....
PS have edited my original post to reflect its HTC froyo; my mistake!
was it like in this thread but obviously not skewed to one side
no link in your message....
lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7600397#post7600397
doh
THATS THE ONE!
But mine had the contact card, and the "numbers" button on the bottom row (Since i was on a call) and a little end call button!
so strange......
BUT thanks for solving the mystery somewhat, at least I know im not going mad!
I dont get them buttons on mine but can get buttons that do the same thing by pressing menu during the call. Maybe there is some sort of shortcut to enable them? I would be interested to know if there is as well.
Its probably a hidden screen in the system that was never used, but somehow gets called up.
THis is how it happened to me, so try it, maybe its a reproducible bug. Browse the market, and get someone to call you, then answer....

[REQ] We need a patch to make it back out of Contacts after a call ends.

Has anyone else besides me had a lot of mistaken calls because the phone decides to go to the contacts lists after a call ends? It's happened to me at least three times today.
In older versions of Android, you had to tap a contact's name, which took you to another page, which had a small phone icon to call. or a long press brought up a menu. In ICS, just touching a name in the contacts list makes a call. It's kind of frustrating that I have to be extra careful after a call now, and manually back out of the list.
So, is there a way to make it go home after a call ends? What kind of hackery would this require to the dialer apk?

On your missed call use TWO fingers and swipe down. It'll re-show it. Swipe up to re-hide.
It's really sucks...whats the point...everytime i get a missed call i have to use two fingers to open the extra options to call back...its the same as touch the notification and redirect me to the call log than touch the call button it's even faster..........isn't there any option to just make it always appears...??

Mine sometimes displays the extended notification and sometimes not. I could care less which one appears. It's not a big deal for me to swipe down with two fingers. Not sure if there is a way to modify it to always show (likely there is).

[Q] Received call screen different??

When I get incoming calls I get 2 different screens at different times to answer. Sometimes it's the regular Android screen with the 2 bubbles you swipe to answer and others its square buttons you press to answer the calls. Why does this happen and how do I fix it?
Also I wanted to ask will I be able to update to kit Kat while using straight talk service?

I believe the bubble buttons appear when there's an incoming call and the phone is locked, while the square buttons when the phone is on the home screen. Not quite sure about straight talk though.
Updates are sent out by Google to the phone's manufacturer, in this case LG. Then they are sent up the ladder to your phone's branded service provider, again in this case AT&T. Lg will add their changes to the OS and so will AT&T when they get it. In the case of you having service with Straight Talk, it doesn't matter because ST still uses AT&T towers and service. So when AT&T pushes out the update for this phone, you will get it also because technically speaking, you are still on AT&T's network.
For the two different screens, Blitz is correct. There are two call screens. One when the phone is locked and one when its not (home screen). Hope that explains it for you.
Thanks to both of you for the help. I was curious about why it was different at different times. Love the phone bought it for $30 with a cracked digitizer and home button not working and fixed it for $30 and I think I like it better then the Samsung phone I just lost.
When ur screen is off and u receive an incoming call, u'll get bubble type option to answer or reject the call (swipe left or right). If your screen is active and there is an incoming call then u will get the option to simply press the green button to accept or red to reject..no swipe option if screen is active..
