I have got a LG-Optimus P-698 android phone. I request for following help.
1. Is there a software that will help me to attend my incoming calls without the need to slide the call attending (green) button? It sometimes requires two hands to attend an incoming call.
2. How do I access the last made call to recall this number. In other touch phones it I just press one of the buttons (usually the left corner button at the bottom), it will make a call to the last called or last missed call.
Thank you.

Several times when I have received a phone call, I try to answer it, and the ringing stops, and the caller is sent to voicemail.
I don't think I'm doing it wrong, slide down bar to answer call etc. A friend said it was ringing at his end for about 40 seconds, but i only heard it for about 5?! There have been times where I see my phone light up as a call is coming in, but it doesn't ring, and I can't answer the call. I'm expecting some important calls, and don't want to not answer them.
Could it be that the processor is being overwhelmed, and not allowing me to answer/phone not ring. Or is it a fault with the phone, or me?!
1) I have had similar problems.
2) If you do hear or see it ringing, swiping down on the lower 1/4 of the screen seems to work for me. That is, if I swipe down like I normally do to unlock the screen, it won't answer the call. If I swipe down only on the bottom portion of the screen it works ok.
similar problem here. I wonder if you swipe too big, does it pull the lock screen down, and bump the ignore/send to vmail button somehow. not sure why, but its happening to me and it sucks! missed the last 3 calls today bc of it. makes it hard to run a business thats for sure!
I use a phone service that diverts calls simultaneously to my landline and mobile and my landline often gets 2 or 3 rings in before the Hero's trackball starts to flash (although once yesterday they did both manage to ring at nearly the same time). Some of the delay is the mobile network finding the phone, but the phone does seem to take a long time to respond to the incoming call.
One option is to extend the length of time before calls are diverted to voicemail. At http://www.cellular.co.za/gsm_hash_code.htm is a list of GSM Network Codes, which includes, towards the bottom, one for extending the period before calls go to voicemail. It looks like the maximum is 30 seconds. I don't know if there is an equivalent for non-GSM networks.
Is there any app out there that will auto-dial a digit (9 in my case) after answering an incoming call from a predefined phone number?
I have my condo's parking lot gate box configured to dial my android phone (rooted Atrix/CM7), but after I answer the call I have to take it out of my pocket, bring up the keypad and dial 9 to open the gate. This is quite inconvenient to do on my bike.
I found auto-answering apps and auto-dialing apps, but I don't have a problem answering it through Bluetooth, and I need to dial after an incoming call, not an outgoing one. I just want to be able to decide whether to open the gate or not using the answer and end buttons.
Thanks
Ever find this?

Did you ever find an app that does this?
This can easily be done with Tasker if your phone is rooted.
Create a profile for Phone Ringing, you can filter by number like *604*
The add tasks like:
Take Call
Wait 2 seconds
Type 9
hi,
i'm annoyed with two features that are missing in the native dialer on ICS.
1. While swapping calls it always asks for holding previous call or to end it. I can't simply switch to another call keeping on hold the other one.
2. If we type any number during call in the dialer, it just vanishes after the call ends! Its normally needed when you take down a number from someone to dial later
any workarounds?

No workaround for 1.
But a suggestion for 2.:
When in a phone call, just push the Home button and open a note/text editor app.
Then make your notes for later use.
Continue your phone call ... multi-tasking !
I've got gs3 and i love it to every bit. although, there is just one problem that i'm not able to solve.
Call waiting is activate don my phone and i receive all my calls while I'm on another active call. But when i get a new call, I swipe the green button and I get a new dialog box named "accept call after" which shows the option to 'end' the previous call or to to keep it on 'hold'. Now, at times I forget about it and it takes time that every now and then I miss that call.
I have tried numerous third-party dialer but they do not override the default dialer screen, so i was wondering if there is a trick/workaround so that I would be able to simply take the new call and my previous call goes to 'hold' by default?
i have had this feature on almost every phone that I have owned till now. using an aosp/aokp rom seems to be another solution, but it would be the last thing i would want to do..
thanks
On the Amazfit watches (including the Stratos), you can only Reject the call or Ignore the call.
Here is a very simple trick to change the Ignore Call action with Accept Call action.
You need TASKER (of course) installed on your smartphone:
- Create a new TASK called for instance "Accept call", Add action "Take the call" in the Category "Phone". (Sorry, my Tasker is in French and actions could be different in English)
- Create a new PROFILE, category "State", select Variable, Variable value, %SILENT ~ on
- Backward. A menu appears to select a Task. Select the task "Accept call" you have previously created
- Long press on the Variable value "%SILENT", a menu appears with Add (+), click on it
- Select "State", click on "Phone", (verify that it's Incoming type)
- Backward to Profiles
You need to set the sound of the smartphone to vibrations or ring but not to silent for both call and messages. The drawback is, if you select the silent mode by error, that the smartphone will automatically accept the call immediately.
If you want (like me) that your smartphone doesn't vibrate when a call or a message occur, you can set the vibrations to the minimum and create a vibration patern with Nothing (it's possible with my Samsung Galaxy)
Et voilà !!
I'm surprised that nobody is interestes by this post !
It's so usefull to accept the incoming calls just by pressing a button or the screen on the watch.
This trick is valid with all smartwatches proposing reject or ignore call.

For me even if accept incoming call from the watch I must take off the phone from the pocket to talk. So if I take off the phone I can accept call from the phone. If I answer the phone from a BT device I accept call from the BT device, so no need to accept from the watch. Different for an Huawei 2 watch or a Samsung S3 where I can accept the incoming call from the watch AND Answer to the call from the watch.

Ok. But if your phone is in your jacket or a bag or placed somewhere in your house/car, and if you have a flip cover and finally if your network provider limits the ring time before going to voicemail, you will be happy to accept the call from your watch then get few seconds more to get your phone and speak directly without doing any additional button press/swipe on the phone screen.
The possibility to answer to the call from the watch (from the internal mic and loud speaker) seems to me useless except if your name is James, James Bond
