i find it frustrating that when i try to call someone and tap the phone icon, it goes directly to "keypad".
Is there a way to change the opening window straight to "recent"?

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if it has something to do with my settings.
This has happened a couple times lately but after ending a call the lockscreen appears and continuously switches back and forth from sleep to lockscreen. The notification bar is highlighted green and if I am lucky or quick enough I can swype my passcode and bring down the notification bar. From there I have to end the call again if it doesn't just go back to sleep or the lockscreen.
This is my first smartphone and touch screen so do you think I am not ending the call properly, i.e. not touching the end call long enough, or would it have something to do with my screen timeout settings. Or am I just missing something completely.
Thanks,
Wing
It does that after you end a call? The notification bar will go green when you are in a call and, say, go to an app...essentially what you are doing is putting the "phone" app as a background app, and the notification bar is green to let you know you are in a call...I've never seen it after ending a call. Are you sure the call is actually ending? You should just have to press "end call" and it will end it.
Okay. Yeah I guess I'm not ending it properly but it is odd how when the phone call is not ended and the lockscreen appears, it flashes back and forth so quickly that it makes it very difficult to unlock and end it. I don't think I am pressing the power button to lock so I am guessing it is the screen timeout settings. Thanks.
Before the KitKat update, there was a feature that was simple but very effective and I absolutely miss it. Let's say you were in any application and someone called you, you would receive a call pop up from the bottom of the screen with three options (to accept call, deny call, I do not recall the last one) and when you decide to accept the call the popup would disappear and now your status bar would be green (to let you know that you are in the call) and you were able to keep doing what you were doing before the call (like multitasking the call and whatever you were doing). Since upgrading to KitKat, the popup shows up as normal but when I accept the call I am forced into the call screen. I've checked throughout my settings to see if it's an option to get it back but nothing . I am wondering if anyone knows a fix to this.

If I have to multitask, I just press home and it gets out of the call screen. I have that issue with my S-view flip cover when in a call it always goes to the call instead of what I was doing before. If you just press the home key, it should get you out of the call screen. It's something I always had to do even with JellyBean.

Does anybody else find their device becomes unresponsive, and unable to take a call, when you receive a call while using it? I can see the phone notification icon in the top-bar but can not answer the call as there's no on-screen "Answer" button. I can't pull down the menu, or use the app I'm in, or even press "Home". Anybody else had this? It happens in phone mode for me.
I have an app that calls Ooma voicemail for a different # and then plays back the message out loud. When I retrieve a message, I know there will frequently be a phone number which I'll want to write down. I'm trying to use the split window to give me a half window of QuickMemo in which I would like to write the number being spoken through the player.
I put a split window shortcut on the bottom of the screen. However, no matter when I turn on the split window (before or after accessing the Ooma app), I get a panel of options: when I choose Quick Memo, it fills the screen (instead of halving it), and turns off the playback of the Ooma Voicemail. Seems to me there should be a way...but I can't find it.
I can see that actually, I'm trying to keep three apps open: the Ooma voicemail app, the playmusic app and then, the quickmemo app. Might there be a way before I revert to find a pen?
Thanks.
This sounds a dumb question but I cannot find any call settings on my wileyfox swift 2 phone. Ultimately all I want to do is to get it to divert callers to my (giffgaff and already set up) voicemail if I don't answer or am out of zone (all the time if at home); but it's not doing that - I think it just rings and rings and rings. It took me a while to work out why I hadn't got any voicemail messages for the last 2 months! I can't seem to find any settings that are even remotely relevant in the settings menu and in the phone app itself there isn't even a menu (just icons for history; dialing; people/contacts). The phone says "true caller" at the top which appears to be an app that I don't particularly understand or want, though this is probably nothing to do with the immediate issue if anyone knows how to disable this then that might be welcome
