Hold Call - Asus Zenfone 5Z Questions & Answers

Even if we let go of all minor bugs, why is there an option during call for Add Call or even Hold Call when neither of them works?!
Genius right?

Both working for me

Both working for me as well.
You have to enable 'Call Waiting' services from the carrier related settings.

Works fine for me

[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.

Thank you.
I don't have that, or anything, under accessibility settings.
AFAIK, only CyanogenMod (and CM-based ROMs) will carry that setting. I haven't seen it in Sense or Ruby.
THANK YOU!!!
I too enabled this feature thinking it would be really nice. But I soon found that if you put the phone on speaker and have one of those auto-select prompts when you call a company and the screen times out you are basically screwed because you can't get the screen to come back. Pushing the power button ends the call.
I was running a Cognition Rom.
Adjusting your volume didn't wake your screen?

I think this setting might be buried in the S-Voice settings.
S-voice >> Settings >> Application control

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?

Suddenly the text reappeared and the feature works. Can't say why....
Tx so far for all your help.

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...

awful floating phone call status blob

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.

Want to use Google Now instead of Voice Mate - Possible?

I am a motorcycle rider and recently switched to LG G4 from iPhone 6. I would be a happy camper if I had something on par with siri. I have a bluetooth (SENA) headset installed in my helmet. I need the ability to activate Google Now so that I can say things like "Navigate to _____," "Call _______," Read my messages, etc. etc.
Voice Mate doesn't work. I hit the button and nothing happens...it ends up getting locked up or something.
Is there a way to use Google Now when i click the button on my bluetooth device?
Why would LG even feature Voice Mate over Google Now when it is SO FAR BEHIND. Makes zero sense not to give us the option to use the Google feature on a google phone (the reason I end up always going back to apple...)
You're trying to activate Google Now with the screen off?
As far as I know, GN does not activate with the screen off unless it's plugged into a charging device. You can see this from the settings --> voice --> "OK Google" detection. I am unaware of how Voice Mate works, since I disabled it from the start.
Does the iPhone allow you to activate Siri while screen's off?
Yeah there's a voice dialer app on the g4, locate it and disable it in settings. The g4 will them redirect to Google now! Don't think you can disable voice mate but it won't activate without the voice dialer app

I bet you can accomplish this. I have an annoying bug where most times I plug my regular headset in, the phone thinks I'm plugging in a headset+mic, and launches google now (it used to try to launch the LG voice mate, but after installing the ZV6 update, it launches google now).
So, if you could just duplicate that, maybe cut the wires and splice a new switch to duplicate whatever my malfunction is, it might work? Have you updated to the latest Over The Air update?
Use the Debloater tool on XDA to disable the VoiceMate apk. That's how I got Google Now to work on a long press on the middle button from my headphones.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk
I am NOT trying to activate it via voice at all. I simply want Google now to work when I push the button on my bluetooth device. Yes sir I does this s.
To do that I would have to have root. Is that very difficult to accomplish on the LG g4?
Thank you Cor-master! That worked!

I was simply hoping for Google Now whenever I pressed the button on my Bluetooth.

That's what it does when you disable the voice dialer. Seriously I gave a plantronics headset and an arctic sound Bluetooth speaker in which I both push the button to activate Google now and keep my phone in my pocket. All you have to do is disable the voice dialer app that's it. The voice dialer is what comes up by default not voice mate

Yeah - I'm not very good at forums. I'm figuring out how to quote in replies so it's easier to follow. Thats on me. Thanks again for this simple solution. I do A LOT of motorcycling. To push the bluetooth button and be able to say "navigate to _____" is huge for me. Thanks to you, i can now do that. bravo!
