Is there a way to make it necessary to unlock the phone to answer phone calls? When I receive a call it can be answered from the lockscreen without fingerprint or face unlock input. I have searched for a setting to require it but have not found any. Is this just me or is this a widespread issue?
Excuse my ignorance but isn't every phone like this? I've never known having to unlock a phone to answer a call

I use the GPE Rom by Danvdh and keep my phone in my pocket.
When I receive a call the lockscreen changes to answer mode and I sometimes hang up on the call trying to get the phone out of my pocket.
Is there a setting I am missing to change this?
Thanks, Randy
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.
hello everyone. i use CM12 custom ROM around for 8-9 months.
Today i had a strange problem. When someone calls me, phone does not wake up. i mean, i hear the ring noise but screen is off. So i can not answer the calls. and when i call someone, screen is again off.
when i call somenone and when he/she does not answer, phone stays like that for a very long time (maybe an endless loop or something like that). so i make a hard boot to close my calling and if i need to press some buttons while calling (calling a bank or calling center etc), i can not do it. What can i do to solve it? does anyone have any idea?
i tried to change some settings in "buttons" section. i set "home button" to answer calls. but it does not work either. when someone calls me, i can not answer it. ((
i set "power button" to close calling or close the phone. it works.
i need an urgent help. can someone help me? i do not want to format everything and start a new custom ROM procedure
after a little search, i learnt that i have trouble with my proximity sensor.
i updated my ROM to CM12.1
i downloaded xposed installer and sensor disabler. but still does not work. how can i eliminate "proximity sensor" on calls?
in case somebody needs, i found the cure... if you install "rezound proximity" application, it will do it. it works on my HOX...
My Dad recently bought a Moto G5. It's his first smart phone and it's hard for him to get used to. The biggest issue at the moment is that he has problems answering calls. He just can't get used to the swiping.
He lives about 400 kilometers away from me so I can't just hop by and help him. So I wanted to ask if there are any settings on this phone which allow answering calls by a gesture or by pressing the power button or the fingerprint sensor or anything like that? If not, is there any app for this? Or a (trusted) dialer which has more (or other;easier) answering options? The phone doesn't have root ofc.

I know this is a setting on lineageos os but I'm not sure about stock as I'm not currently running it
Goto settings
Buttons
Answer call > enable to answer call with volume buttons
You can also enable end call with power button
Unfortunately this setting isn't present on the stock rom. Thanks anyway!
Anybody know if there is a setting to allow answering an incoming call without unlocking first? This is the first phone I've seen that requires this if using a lock screen password or fingerprint.
Thanks!
It looks like turning off the "Incoming call lock (Answer incoming calls with your fingerprint)" fingerprint setting resolves it. I interpreted this setting to mean you could use the fingerprint reader to answer the phone in addition to the regular method but it seems like it means it locks down answering calls unless you unlock first.
Problem solved!
Yes i had the same issues it was unlock with fingerprint setting
