[Q] Status Bar Access During Call - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using AOKP Build 36, and on Build 35, there was an option within the dial pad settings to enable stauts bar access during an active phone call. I no longer see this option after upgrading to the latest build, and the status bar does NOT have that feature during a phone call. Anyone have an idea how to change this? Thanks!

I have always just hit the Home key. Didn't know there was a setting.

same as kenny for me. if you hit the home key it will put a phone icon in the status bar, so you can get back to your call while it is still active.

This, I've always done that when I'm at home on wifi. So I can surf the web and talk.

Yeah, I know you can hit the home key, but for instance if you had a text during a phone call and you just wanted to pull the status bar down to see who its from or be able to click the message t bring it right up, that option is no longer on AOKP. It is much more convenient to do it that way than to have to hit home, click messages, and then go back to the main messaging screen and find the new message

shouldn't be too hard. lol the messages that are new go to the top ^.^. if you want that feature, just flash back to the latest build that had it.

Keyboard keeps going away

When I hit send on my text messages the keyboard drops out, I want to change this as it is very annoying. It drops out and I have to hit the input field again to bring it back .

hilarious! i agree. why do you want the keyboard still up, if you have already sent the message?
honestly, i don't know how you would keep it up otherwise. everytime i've used any of the three i have installed (stock, modified IME, and swype) all drop down as soon as i'm done using the keyboard.
and tg for that. i want to see the screen if i don't have to type.
I want to have it still up because im having a conversation and am going to type another message shortly. My unlocked vogue running android didn't do it so that's just what i got used to, does anyone know if an app or something to keep it open

Hit the back button. It will leave your text in the input but wont send.

Maybe I'm stupid now...but why would you type out a text message and then not send it?

to save it as draft, and that's not what I want. I want to send it but not have to tap the input field to pull up the keyboard again.
I'm with you on this one. Having the keyboard disappear is annoying. There is no reason for it not to stay on the screen. It only adds an extra tap for no reason.
Coming from years with the iphone, and having the keyboard stay on the screen after you press the send button, I find the Android way annoying. Doesn't mean I won't adapt, it just annoys me.
If you want the keyboard to reappear, press and hold the menu button.

tapping the input field does the same thing, and it still goes away when I hit send.
i think you're in the minority here, which is why it's configured like it is. most people want it to go away after they send, because they're done with the keyboard at that point.
i haven't seen a setting to keep it from doing that. i suspect it can be written though. go put a request in in the application section
you could try swype i think in the videos the keyboard doesn't go away

How to get back to phone call ?

Is there a way besides sliding the notification bar and clicking on the phone call item to go to the phone call status ? from a shortcut or a widget ?
I'd rather just press home and have it on the screen to return to it.
Would love that too. What makes it worse is when i go to swipe the notification bar, I invariably trigger the proximity sensor which turns off the screen.

or just hit the phone button at the bottom.
Your only other option is to open the dialer/phone app. Meaning, the stock/Sense one, not DialerOne or your replacement dialer.
I can root, install Roms, and all the other geeky ****..
Yet the most basic thing... Making a phone call.... I still cannot figure out..
Flashing over to another call
Three way calling (still cannot figure this out right)
getting back to the phone while in a current call.
Is there a hold button?
LOL

Exactly.
I'm running CM6 and the stock dialer you have to press something extra to get to the actual call.

[Q] How do I turn off text message vibrate?

Well, I am feeling stupid but every time I get a text it vibrates and to my knowledge I have vibrate turned off everywhere possible yet it doesn't seem to matter. I'm hoping there is not something wrong.
Is there somewhere I am not looking?
Go into messaging app, hit menu key, settings, scroll all the way down and uncheck vibration

Is there a way...

Is there anyway that the notification bar can be pulled down while on a phone call? I know I'm able to do it on my evo lte, but can not do it on my nexus in case I get a message or email and want to look at it without having to press the home key then going into the app.
I noticed that vanilla android phones are the only ones I cannot do this on. Thanks.

Press home and then you should have access to rest of your phone. As much as i hate atnt, multitasking with voice and data is still crazy awesome to me.
butter and jelly please...
Try AOKP ROM, there is an option to enable notification bar while in calls.

[Q] No dialpad option while making a phonecall

I have a Galaxy Nexus with android 4.1.1. but every time i make a call i cant find a dial pad option. its there when before i make the call but during a call i cant seem to find it. so i cant use phone cards, enter my voice mail password, enter extensions, etc... if anyone out there knows where to find it please let me know.
Bottom of the call screen. Little icon that looks like a dial pad shows/hides it. Hidden by default presumably to cut down on accidental inputs by your face.

Dialpad is available once the call is connected.
