Forgive me, but... Even after 2 months with the phone I still can't put a call on hold and answer an incoming call.
It was so simple with the iPhone...
You got an incoming call and you get 3 choices.... with 3 buttons... none of that swipe nonsense.
Ignore Call
Hold Call + Answer
End Call + Answer
On the android,.. you have to swipe.. then it "prompts" you briefly... if you choose hold call.. it will still end the call and on most occasions it just drops both calls.
Why so simple things get so complicated?
Is there a manual or tutorial for this simple action?
Thanks
No problems here. If I get a call while on a call I get a pop up asking me to either end current call, put current call on hold and answer and a 3rd option I think is reject incoming call. Not sure if that is exact wording on options but haven't had any issues using any of them.

Well i get the 2 options to swipe... answer or cancel
Once I swipe, another option appears... no matter what I do... it ends both calls.

Are you running stock ROM? Can you post some screen shots or video?
When I am on a call and the phone rings I get a pop up like the other guy said.
Are you running a different dialer?

i as well get the pop up with three options
answer the call
put call on hold and answer
and i believe the third one is reject call
they all seem to work ok, they do what they say they are going to do anyway...none of them just hang everyone up, lol

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
Using CM6 and I have a annoying issue. I don't know if this was intended as a feature or maybe just an issue on my part. I'd like to be able to go into call log, tap on a missed call/contact, and have it automatically call.
If I want to call my gf I have to long press her name and select call. Is there a way to enable this. I check through the call log preferences and didn't see anything.
Basically need to tap on a contact in my call log and automatically call them. I DON'T want to have to long press.
Judging on it's behavior it looks like it was intended this way.
I think it threads calls by day, and if there were multiple calls in that day you click on you're going to expand the thread.
Otherwise clicking on the call then I get the option to call in the next screen... so 2 maybe 3 clicks at most.
I don't think it is an issue, but the design. I could understand you just want to click to call but it gives you multiple options when clicking on the missed call.

Or you could just open the Phone app, Press Menu >> Preferences, scroll down to Call Log, and click "Show Dial Button".
Nahh... you're right, it's intended that you should be forced to long-press.
Yeah I always redial from my call log so its annoying. Thanks that worked I saw that option but didn't know what it meant. This works perfect.

If you press the arrow on the right side of the call log, it will call that person.
I'm not sure if there is a thread for this I've searched but I've noticed that when 3 way calling if I want to hang up with one person it doesn't allow me i would have to hang up on both callers and call one back I also had this problem on the OG epic. Does anyone know how to. Resolve this?

That's the way it works , it says that in the manual.

That's how Sprint's CDMA network works, irrespective of phone.
Got this from the manual pg 38-39:
3-way Calling
With 3-Way Calling, you can talk to two people at the same time. When using this feature, the normal airtime rates will be charged for each of the two calls.
1. On the Phone screen, enter a number and tap "Call".
2. Once you have established the connection, tap Add call and dial the second number. (This puts the first caller on hold and dials the second number.)
3. When you’re connected to the second party, tap Merge.
If one of the people you called hangs up during your call, you and the remaining caller stay connected. If you initiated the call and are the first to hang up, all callers are disconnected.
4. To end the three-way call, tap "End Call".
Is ****ing stupid...i hate it...
It is stupid and hella inconvenient us women love to talk lol so going through all the hang ups call back is super annoying but oh well... been dealing with it for this long..

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..

hey guys, just a quick question about the NOTE 10+ - as ive moved from iphone to samsung.
When I end a call there is a delay where the phone shows ENDING CALL.... then goes back to the dial pad screen. Is there a way to reduce the time it shows that end call screen?
And also in the recent call screen is there a way to simply tap the name and it calls straight away? Rather then showing the option of CALL MESSAGE etc?
Thank you for the help

Could answer the second question, you can swipe to right for call or swipe left for messages on the recent list.
At least from what I have experienced this is another way instead of selecting name and then call for a faster calling.
But hope someone else could pitch in and answer the rest for you.
