Phone Auto answering - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Every time someone calls my phone automatically picks up after two rings?!
Im not connected to bluetooth. It also puts it on speakerphone as well. Is this part of the Face Recognition?
i cant seem to be able to turn this feature off in "call settings".
Its hard to screen a call when its answering automatically!!!!!!

nothing?

Try going in Phone -> Call Setting -> Accessory Setting for Calls -> there should be 2 automated answering options you could check.

Phone locks if call busy/engaged

Hi....I'm new to this forum and the world of Android....hoping someone can help me!
I picked up a Samsung Galaxy S3 the other day and noticed something unusual with the call function. If I make and receive a call (i.e. the call has actually connected) everything works as expected...proximity sensor engages, and when the call is finished it returns to the call screen. However, if I dial a number and the line at the other end is busy/engaged, I remove the phone from my ear and it returns to the phone lock screen (where I need to enter my password due to my hookup with Microsoft exchange at work). If I don't place the phone to my ear it returns to the normal call screen. Its a pain having to enter the password after attempting to make a call to a busy line, as the first thing I want to do is redial the number.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm running ICS 4.04.
Try enable auto redial under call setting - additional setting.

Thanks....I'll give it a try. Just need to find a phone line that is busy again!
Ok....here's another weird one associated with the call function on the SGS3 running ICS 4.0.4. When I use a bluetooth headset and make a call, the phone will automatically lock when I hang up regardless of whether the "time to lock" has been met. As mentioned before, I'm connected to an exchange account so security has been assigned such that I need to enter a password to access my phone after a certain time period (max 15 minutes). I'm beginning to wonder if these automatic locks with the call function are pre-determined by the exchange security?? Or perhaps a bug in ICS?
Anyone else experiencing this?

lmyers, did this work for you? I have the same problem, have changed the auto-redial to On, but no busy signal to test it on yet...

[Q] Problem with the notifications during call!

Was on a call, an email came to my exchange account and it started playing from my earpiece. Couldn't hear a word of the other party. Cut the call and restarted the phone. Was on a call with him again and then an another mail. BAM was waiting for the song to end.
I tried opening the email. Reducing the volume to minimum. Turning the speaker on. Mute the call. shake the phone arghhhh
I work on night shifts and the song "RIGHT NOWWWWW" by Korn plays when an email comes The second time I let it play and was just mute. damnit.
Is this how the phone normally behave? Just bought it a few days back. This doesn't happen when I am on a Viber call. only on GSM calls...
Am running stock samsung ofw 4.0.3 with SiyahKernel S2-v5.0i.
can anyone happen to help me please? i am still facing the issue. i am unable to stop the notification sound until it actually ends on its own. the call i am on when the notification actually comes turns out to be a waste i just am unable to stop the notofication sound...

for anyone facing the problem of notifications during calls, you can do the below to turn them off during calls.
system settings -> call -> call alert -> alert on call (you need to uncheck this.)
done

HTC Speak automatic speaker

I tried searching for this but i can't find anything. I want to use HTC speak but whenever i tell it to dial it won't turn the speaker on.
so i go "dial the husband" and it dials my husband but doesn't turn the speaker on i have to put it up to my ear.
any solutions?
i ended up setting a autovoice tasker profile but after i do that it injects my phone call list with a bunch of "unknown calls" over and over again, after every single phone call.

[Q] Remove call forwarding symbol?

I was wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of the call forwarding symbol in the upper left hand corner of the watch face on a standalone device. I have tried to go under the call menu and turn it off but it won't let me uncheck on. I'm trying my best to not do a reset since I won't be able to activate apps again. Thanks in advance!
I don't think it is possible. The symbol is used to remind you that call forwarding is active. The consequences for leaving call forwarding on and forgetting to turn it off could cost you a lot of money and you might miss important calls you were expecting on your phone.
Personally it's a good feature - though granted it could be a bit smaller.

How to make phone appear to others to be switched off?

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is an app or method that can enable me to make my phone as appear to others that ring me as being switched off? There is nothing more frustrating when I am trying to study than the times when I hear my phone ringing and I am forced to stop what I am doing to answer my friends phonecalls. Even if I ignore the calls, I feel obligated to call back and there is always the possibility that the person will call again which really puts me off my work. Having said that, I need to have my phone switched on to receive calls in order to organize car journeys so turning it off is not an option. Is there anything I can do?
You can use the built in 'Do not disturb' in Android. No other app needed.

Thanks for the reply! Would this make my phone calls go to voicemail instantly?
Airplane mode is perfect.
