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..

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
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.
hi iv been stock 4.1.1 on my gnex for quite awhile now. however lately i've noticed that when i get a missed call, i dont see the extra "call back" and "message" features i used to have on my notification. did i turn it off somehow? can someone help me figure it out? thanks.

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).
Has anyone else had a problem with the Optimus G being more prone to accidental 911 calls so far? It's happened to me three times in the last week, more than my Galaxy S2 did in 2 years.
Obviously somehow the power button is activating the screen, and then pressure on the screen is activating the Emergency dial key. But why this phone and not the S2 or my Nexus One before? I've asked nottach if the emergency dial key can be changed from single button to something else in The Base ROM, but I suspect this is hardcoded.
I have never ass dialed anything in ever. With any phone.
I opened a text message by accident when the phone was in my pocket. Now I disable screen wake when receiving a text. The phone was in my front pocket. This is the first phone to do this. Probably because when I used iPhones I had to slide to open things and not just tap.

I have never actually had a 911 call placed, but i have noticed that on a number of occasions the standard lock screen buttons disappear (the call, text, browser, camera ones at the bottom of the screen) and are replaced by the dial emergency button. I have yet to figure out what causes this to happen or found any way to force it to happen.

The only time i have ever seen emergency dial on any phone is from no service. Is it possible youre losing signal or your sim is not fully inserted?
Never happened to me.
Please ask all questions in Q&A. Thread moved there.
Isn't emergency dial the only other button available on the pattern lock screen when the screen wakes up?
I've used pattern lock for my lock screen since the Nexus One and never had a problem with accidental 911 calls before.

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?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
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
