Keyboard suddenly opens when i get call (sometimes) - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I had wt19i, i got some problem from last week,
Sometime i got a call, the keyboard suddenly opens and hide the accept and reject buttons. I cant able to swipe accept or reject. then the is missed.
Is anybody had this problem? how can i sort out of this.

Keyboard opens if you hold Menu button for long time.

Ok
Ok, if it is accidentally happens, how to revert back to call, is there any method to close the keyboard?

back key

But it's not work
But if i hit back key nothing happens, actually the screen back to home, but the keyboard remains same.

Do you have any mods on your phone?

Why does this happen? Does it have something to do with the qwerty.kl file?

Navigation issue (bad hardware?)

When I try to click on the navigation ring to go left or right, it always seems like I click on the phone button or the hang up button instead of navigating right or left. Am I doing something wrong?
outside the "ring"

I had the same problem (and don't like the nav much actually). You need to press completely outside the circle. If your finger is pressing inside you will be pressing that center button down, not navigating left/right/up/down as desired.
Once you start doing it, it gets easier.
same here. it's like learning to click the "x" button now instead of hitting "ok" on the ol' mogul. just takes getting used to. I've found ways around using this (like using the touch circle thingy in calendar to go fwd/back a day instead of using left/right nav)
OK button
I really miss the OK button. A lot!
OK button missing
At first, I remapped the PTT button, b/c I too missed the ok button.
But I read on a forum that most of the time pushing the end call button does the same thing, and I'll be darned if it doesn't work like ok. Granted the app minimizes, but atleast it closes.

The back button works like OK most of the time as well.
For the OP, do not press the ring AT ALL to navigate. The buttons are outside the ring completely.

[Q] Possible to bind a hardware key to hang up?

I'm missing the 1.6 "feature" of the caller application hanging upp when I press the power button. Is it in any way possible to configure the phone to hang up when I press a hardware button? Preferably I'd like to bind it to the "back" button, since that's the one I'm least likely to accidentally press.

Is there any way we can do this?

instead of changing the FOCUS button, use the key 116 that has POWER on it, change POWER to ENDCALL and change WAKE to WAKE_DROPPED, save it, restart phone and there you go
Press the "back" key. I think it will end the call in progress.

sometimes the back button will end it, sometimes not

Back key only seems to work before a call has been answered, but during the call it does not work.

Any way to instantly end phone call via pressing Home button?

I found the way how to set it so you can answer the incoming call by pressing the home button instead of sweeping the screen - because it sometimes doesn't respond at all. But is there any way to end the call the same way - instantly by pressing the home button? Could't find it in any settings. Need to be setting in stock firmware, not moded at all.
Thank you
You can end the call by pressing the power button. Settings>Call>Answering/Ending>"The power key ends call"

Thanks for the tips. I don't know about this option before.

I know that, but I want to end the call by pressing the home key, not the power key.
Carlitos... can you tell me how you changed the sweeping option to answer the call ???? I assume that this will still have both options to answer the call right ?????
Thanks in advance...
Any answer please....

Thanks my friend...
Would also love to be able to switch the home and endcall keys while in conversation
I know there is an app that can remap keys, however, I only want those keys remapped while calling.
No one has taken up this challenge? Amazing. Seems like it's not enough of a challenge for the experts here. Otherwise this would be very useful instead of having to look for the power key every time to end calls

[Q] (Jelly Bean) End Call Question

Ok, when I click the end call button on the phone it then displays the contact information. Is there a way to turn this off to just go back to the keypad instead with out hitting the go back button again? I have gone through every menu I could find but was unable to locate something that would allow you to turn this feature off or shorten the time it displays. Thanks in advance for your answers.

It does disappear but when I need to make a call right after it stays up to long. I would rather it be a shorter time display.

Taking a screenshot. Both methods I know doesn't work...

So the first is the usual Power/Volume Down. It doesn't work. It keeps bringing up the Shutdown Menu.
The second is the Palm Swipe. It works, but it captures the screen of the Multiwindow app tray.
Anyone else having issues? Wish there was an option to take a screen shot using the spen.
I hate that Samsung has overridden the usual way of taking screenshots using the power/vol buttons and there is no way I've found to re-enable it. That said, I don't have an issue with taking screenshots using the palm swipe. I think it's cumbersome and yes, you have to get it "just right" but it works for me on my tablet.
You can swipe from the left or the right to get a screenshot. Have you tried from the left so you avoid bringing up the multiwindow app tray?

I can press power and volume down to take screenshots on my S6.

I have no problems using Volume Down and Power to take a screenshot.
Also, you could take a screenshot with the S-Pen by setting it to open Screen Write when you long press the button. You'd simply need to tap save without editing anything.

Thanks for your inputs. It's really odd that the power/volume doesn't work for me. The palm swipe from left works...unfortunately...i have palms with very high traction, lol...so it's very cumbersome. The screen write function is probably what's going to be the easiest for me. :good:
How odd. I've tried every thing I can think of using power and volume down (and up) and get no screenshot. All I get is the power off screen.
It's been very annoying for me because trying to swipe to get a screenshot is a test of my patience. I usually end up swiping and moving around what I wanted a shot of.

Perhaps you're pressing them too long? You just need to tap both at the same time, do not hold them. For me, if I hold them, I get the power options, but simply tapping them takes a screenshot.
Also, which build are you using?
Oh jeeze! It worked. Quickly tapping the buttons is the trick! Wow, never knew. Every other Android device I've owned required pressing and holding the buttons for a screenshot. Leave it to Samsung to be different...
Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, my Tab S was hold iirc. Maybe Samsung changed it this time because it's no longer the power button, it can now activate Bixby - Perhaps their testing proved it to be awkward with Bixby if you hold.
Anyway, glad I could help.

I believe they changed the hold time to a quick simultaneous press due to the newer Samsung phones (ie Note 10) using hold power button to bring up Bixby by default. Probably caused an issue by calling up Bixby when attempting to take a screenshot? Not sure, but it seems to make sense based on when this was changed.
