I think this setting might be buried in the S-Voice settings.

S-voice >> Settings >> Application control

Any other idea?

You have to disable vibration on the phone. Enable sound is ok but do not enable vibration. Set ring tone a little lower and shout "answer" or "reject".

Ok, will try that. But why is the text in notificatin bar gone?

I am also having this issue. Its driving me crazy. On my iphone it was not an issue. But this new note 2 and my new voyager legend its not letting me answer the incoming call with my voice I have to take my hand off the wheel and hit the button to answer. Ive tried going into the svoice settings and doing what you guys recommended as well as disabling the vibrations. Still mothing.

You have to disable vibration on the phone. Only leave sound enabled and it should work.
I was having the same problem until I saw this thread today.

Same here.. It wasn't working and I even tried a factory reset. Lately I saw this thread and now it started working. No vibration should be enabled for this function to work. The popup message had already said this but I mistook it for the silent mode with vibration and kept on trying different ways. But the point as clear from above is, vibration should be fully disabled and the phone shoud be in ring only mode for answer via voice feature to function properly...

How to put a call on hold and answer the incoming call?

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

T-Mobile SGS3 Android 4.3 Update - Questions

Hi Everyone,
Just received the official 4.3 update on my SGS3.
I have been trying to figure out how to set/enable/use the multiple windows in the lock screen! Anyone knows how? I just saw it briefly when I received an SMS and I pressed on the message notification. I could see multiple windows when swiping on one side. I also saw an 'edit' icon at the bottom right corner. But I'm not able to see those windows again.... How do I enable them or see them or edit them?
Is there any way to get the weather notification on the lock screen? Should I get a separate lock screen weather app or widget?
Thanks in advance and cheers...

Press and hold the back button.

Thanks.
I think that is for multiple windows on the home screen. Isn't it? I tried pressing and holding the back button on the lock screen and nothing happened.
I want to know how do I get to set up the lock screen multiple windows.

pretty sure this is already answered in the other 4.3 thread, and also in saranhais rom thread, also in mine i think.

Oh. Sorry I couldn't see those before..
But I just figured out.. swiping from the top of the lock screen brings up the other lock screen and the option to add more lock screen windows, where we can add more widgets.
Thanks anyways.

[Q] bypassing Screenlock b on incoming calls

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.

thanks, I'll try what you suggested

Call Screen Issues?

Has anyone else experienced the call screen changing between two different versions during incoming calls? Sometimes my call screen shows a swipe to answer function, and other times it shows a press to answer function. While both work just fine, it is annoying and I personally prefer the swipe to answer call screen. I have looked through the settings and didnt see anything that would affect that, so is there an app I could freeze that would fix this? Im currently on rooted 13B but I had this same issue on stock and rooted 11A.

Just found the answer. The call screen is swipe to answer when the phone is locked and press to answer when unlocked. I don't know why I never made that connection.. But there it is.
