awful floating phone call status blob - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any idea how to disable it while trying to use the phone when in a call?
That phone status blob is horrendous. I'm constantly repositioning it but it is always in the way.

Fix
Go to setting >> Call >> uncheck incoming voice call pop up

That doesn't stop it, it only stops it when an apps in use , always there when on a call. I'd like to disable it permanently.

I disabled it and I don't see it on a call... Try restart device

That's not what we are talking about.
That applies to the popup for incoming calls. The blob is still there for any ongoing call.
1. Make a call
2. Minimize phone app
3. Witness the blob overlay on whatever you do

Get the G4 tweak box and xposed framework. Then if you buy the full version of the tweak box for 3 bucks you can disable it

you are talking that floating icon with voice speaking out their calling ID? I think it's from one of the LG software. Try uninstall voice mate. I had that problem didn't know how to get ride of it. I was mass uninstalling some of the LG software and got Nova launcher on. Now it's gone.

[Q] CM6 Call Log Issue. Anyone having the same issue?

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.

[Q] Any way to stop going to call log after call?

On my Droid Incredible/Gingerbread I could configure whether the phone went to the call log or not after a call, but my Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 always goes to the call log - this is especially annoying when I'm using the phone to navigate and get a call, when the call ends you don't just go back to the navigation. Anyone see a way to configure this that I missed?
Definitely interested in this as well
There is an app called "Not Call Log" which can take you to the home screen, dialer or open an app after hanging up. If you use Tasker, you can also set it to do anything with a "phone idle" condition (that may not make sense if you're not familiar with tasker).

Even though the call log appears, i believe the activity stack is is still maintained meaning after your call ends just press back twice, the second leaves the call log back to your prior activity.

Any way to disable call log from showing after a call?

The title says it all, is there any way to disable the call log from popping up after a call with the stock ICS dialer? I'd rather just have the phone go back to where it was or even just to the home screen. It's rather annoying when receiving a call when using navigation and having to switch back after ending a call, in many places (such as where I live) I would have to pull over to the side of the road and switch back in order to avoid a hefty fine. Also, I'd rather not have whomever I'm with see my call log if I have my phone mounted on my dash.
If there is no way with the stock ROM are there any custom ROMs that allow this?
Thanks.
not call log
I used to use an app called not call log, but I'm not sure if its compatible with ics.
Well... if you're just looking to go to the homescreen after a call... go to call log --> settings --> Exit To Home on End Call (Checked). Sorry, I don't know if this works on stock or on particular roms, but I'm running AOKP b25 and it has this feature.
Also, after your call ends and you are now seeing the call log, just press back and it takes you back to whatever you were doing prior. The activity stack stays in tact, it just adds call log to the top of it.

How do disable the floating phone icon

Been searching and trying to figure out how to disable the floating phone icon when in call. It's pretty annoying.
What floating phone icon?
Really? Wow... I love that thing... Instead of stopping what you are doing to answer the call I just use that pop up
Its my sisters phone. So I don't have it on me I'm just trying to figure out a way to disable it for her
You mean the small teal bar that just has the time counter? If so, no way to do it unless you root and G3tweaksbox has it in there to disable it.

Settings > Call > Incoming voice call pop-up. Disable it. Is that what you wanted ?

I think it's when your in a call and there's a box that shows the call time
The Xposed module G3 TweaksBox has this ability in the latest beta. It may only be available with the donate key, I'm not sure I already have the donate version.

[Q] Disable floating popup during call

How can I disable this popup showing when you're in call on another app? It's a floating pop-up, but I don't need it, because I can go back to the call using the notification icon. Thank you.
Just disable it in call settings.

You can't disable it with out root.. It's the same as the G3..
How is it called? I mean a small green floating pop-up *during* the call. Ah, thank you Swizzle82.
I had this yesterday when I was on a call and person I was chatting to wanted a website link sending that I had been on earlier. This floating pop up covered the address bar so I couldn't copy/paste it...
You can drag it around the screen if it's in the way
Yes just untick the 'incoming voice call pop-up' option and the floating window wont show up, any incoming calls will now open the dialer in fullscreen; btw no root required.
Sprint version does not have the option!. Damn this sucks
No marcadam this option is if you are using another app and you receive a call, but does not take effect to the floating popup you get while you're in call.
Pop-up during call
Well, the "disable pop-up window thing" only removes the pop-up when receiving the call, not the pop-up that's present during the call... (See screenshot)
Any clues on how to get rid of that? (might call LG and give you guys an update later on)
