When I get a call while doing something on my phone, there's option, to leave the "incoming call-screen" to exit to the home screen (or the app I was using before), bad thing about this is: Sometimes I don't want to accept a call(/to talk to certain persons), but also don't want to decline, because caller would be pissed (or in case of unknown number, maybe be pissed).
Any workaorund?
Make a swipe from the center of the screen (the call icon) up and click on "custom message". Once you enter into message screen press home and you're done

Nah, just tried, no dice, thanks anyway.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
Strange, on my Galaxy Nexus it works

I mean you can get back to the home screen, but the call disconnects.

Not sure about it. I think the size will be pretty much the same as the galaxy s3
there was an option in cm7 that allowed for a call to be "backgrounded", meaning it appeared on notification bar, allowing to continue using the system without rejecting it.

Hey,
i recently got a HTC Touch Pro 2 and i'm quite happy with it. Nice phone all in all. Just that when i receive a call while the phone is in my pocket it automatically presses the "send text message" button in the right bottom. This makes it send the message "I am busy right now i'll call u back later" blabla. Anyone knows how to turn this off?
I have looked around this forum, google and the phone itself but i can't find it anywhere..
Thanks!
Phone, Menu, Options, Advanced tab.
Uncheck "reject call with text message".
The button you are pressing is rejecting the call. It will keep doing this, just without sending a text.

Hm is there a way to fully disable the button? I prefer using the slide to refuse a call, not just press a button. Also i'm using the default HTC WM 6.5 rom..

Yeah it does, but the problem is i keep accidentally pressing the button in the bottom right. This making me refuse the call without wanting it.
Hey guys...
Just wanted to post this little find. I haven't seen it posted before, so I apologise if I missed that thread...
Try this...
Open an application with the settings button in the bottom corner.
Switch off screen
Switch on screen
Do you have the settings button in the same corner? Press it... screen unlocks
Shortcut or flaw?

Oh wow, never noticed that before. I can't think of any benefit of it so it likely to be a bug.

The online kitchen over at MoDaCo has an option to disable 'menu key unlock'. I'm assuming this is referring to this issue (if it is an issue) but I may be wrong.

don't get this option. is it something to turn on in Settings?
Did you also notice that you can access the notification bar from the lock screen?
Can't be a feature, surely?

That is actually a feature. Quite useful if you don't have a pattern/pin/face lock setup.

it is most definitely a feature, and was demoed at the first unveiling of the phone back in October.
Ahhhh... so it doesn't work if there is security lock on... I get it.. ty

Can someone explain what the purpose of the settings button is in this context? Is it just another way to unlock the screen? Why does it only appear in the given scenario?
Also, why do the back and home buttons appear when you drag down the notifications bar?
They do not appear to be functional, but can be pressed. I suppose the back button makes sense, as it dismisses the notification panel, but the home button does not appear to be functional.
I opened facebook, the menu button was there. I turned off screen, then turned it back on. the menu button was there on my lock screen but when I pushed it, nothing happened. phone did not unlock. I use pattern unlock.

More than likely, the menu button being on the lock screen is just a glitch that really shouldn't be there. The good news is that if you have a lock other than the slide lock (Pattern, Password, Pin, Face) the the menu button on screen does nothing.
It's already been reported to google as a bug. It only happens if you have an insecure lock method (swipe, or none).
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.

Thanx will try that
On the lock screen, press the back button and a big white box appears.
This box also appears after receiving a text notification and tapping the text message...
Anyone know what this is for?
Thanks

That's your unlock area, usually set for a simple swipe, it is the phone trying to remind you that you need to unlock before you can do anything else.
Works for me,
Thanks
Does anyone know how I can bypass the Screen Lock on a Samsung Galaxy S4 (Rooted stock 4.2.2) when an incoming call is ringing the phone?
I have hd caller ID that has an easy way to answer the phone, but my wife does not know how to open the Screen Lock so she can't answer the phone when I'm busy in the yard, garage, etc.
I've been looking for a quick fix, but I have not come across anything usable.
Thanks all of you for all your help to everyone that asks for it. Your answers often helps many individuals that have the same needs!
Aloha!
I am not sure if I completely understand. Are you saying that you have to unlock your phone to answer an incoming phone call? :/

Yes, the screenlock is still showing the big orange balloon.... I have to swipe the dots, then press answer.
That's weird cause even with screen lock, if there's an incoming call you should only need to swipe to answer or reject.

Are you running any lock screen programs like GoLocker or something similar? Default Android behaviour is to allow you to accept incoming calls without putting in your PIN/Pattern/Password. If you are not running another locker, then open up your dialer, press the menu soft key, and check your "call settings" options. Check the behaviours where you can press the home button to accept calls and see if you can accept calls that way. If not, remove your security code, restart your phone, and set it again. Let us know if any of these work for you.
