I'm definitely not a fan of the way Samsung makes me answer phone calls on the Galaxy Note II. Rather than just tapping answer or reject, I'm forced to slide the appropriate icon somewhere. I'm increasingly frustrated by this and would like to change it. Is this possible in some setting or via an app?
You can set it so you can answer with the home button. Settings, accessibility, Answering/ending calls.

I noticed that when you're in the dialer and you click on a contact (in the keypad section) you cannot slide left to text, or right to call; but you can do this with the other tabs (Logs, Favorites, Contacts). Is there a way to fix this? It seems kind of odd to not include that function on the dial pad itself.
Because you have the call button on the bottom, I really don't think you need IMO is nice in the contacts tho

It's not broke so it's un-fixable. Like 2nd post, you do have the buttons there. Lol.
Any way to remove the emergency call button? I'm on a galaxy note 2.
Almost everytime I take my phone out I hit that button which opens the keypad. I just want to unlock my phone.
Even if it's just moved from the bottom, but I'd prefer it gone.
I have searched btw. I'm asking in the correct section so please close this tab if you don't wish to help.
Can't believe no one else has this trouble
yeah sure
remove it out of the layout from framework res apk and its gone

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to make the recent calls your default screen when you press the phone button. Mine always starts at the keypad even when I change the order in the edit tabs menu. Is the keypad default no matter what?
Anybody??
I do not believe this is possible without switching to an alternative dialer app.

Hi,
I've recently rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 (THANK YOU open1your1eyes0 for the guide, and hiikezoe, DooMLoRD, and PWM978 for the root exploit!) and everything went pretty much flawlessly.
So brimming with confidence after almost a week of root related tweaking I'm now hunting for a solution to replace part of the functionality of the right hand side HARDWARE button for putting my phone to sleep - or whatever the correct term is for when "I click the button to make my screen go dark so as to avoid calling people with my butt while I'm carrying my phone around".
Is there such a thing?
As an old school IT guy, my philosophy is that I'd rather use the touch screen (with like a toggle or what have you) for this super frequent function than use the hardware button which will eventually wear the hell out. Yeah, I know it prolly has around a gogillian use cycles before that day but I'm a bit of a purist and maybe we should just call it a philosophy with me. Or maybe I'm debilitatingly OCD.
Either way, is there such a solution out there? I'm hoping for a toggle similar to the pull-down shade buttons already provided for mobile data, or GPS etc. However I would also be satisfied with a standalone "app" type button I could situate someplace handy onscreen or maybe even in a "Button Savior" type "drawer" that I could access with just a flick and click after every phone call (and BEFORE I drop the phone into my pocket and call random people as I have been doing far too often *lol*)
Anyway, thanks for reading and I appreciate any help you may be able to give me to get me pointed in the right direction.
Best regards,
Joe C.
Only thing I can consider is trying to get a job with Samsung and maybe they will let you build the s5 with the buttons you want. Good luck!

Thanks hexitnow and nativi! I appreciate your time answering me but I should have been clearer. I had seen those various "app" options and even tried a few.
What I was trying to describe by, "..a toggle similar to the pull-down shade buttons already provided for mobile data, or GPS etc." was the actual rectangular toggle buttons for those functions and others like airplane mode and screen rotation and all. I'm referring to the batch of buttons which can even be reordered to control which 5 are displayed across the top of the pull down shade area.
One of the Play Store apps called "Screen Off and Lock" by "Katecca" comes close because it lets you configure it to show in the pull down shade - but only in the "Text" area of the "Notifications" area (like where battery info or things like that are shown). Am I describing what I mean adequately?
It's a wonderful app but I was hoping to limit the screen real estate dedicated to this function even more is all.
Thank you again though for your tips.
Best,
Joe C.
The free Button Savior app can do this. Use the on/off looking button.
Also in system settings, security, device administrator, you need to give lock screen privilege to Button Savior
Would nova Launcher have a gesture that you could do to turn the screen off with a gesture or even a gesture app.

It should be obvious, but I can't find how I answer a call on my WileyFox Swift 2 phone. Haven't had it long and have only received two calls (which I couldn't answer) but when it rings I can't see what I have to do to answer. The second time it rang, even my son couldn't work it out.
There's a sort of 'vibrating' phone icon as it rings, and tapping that (which seems the obvious thing to do) does nothing! No problems texting, and I've downloaded a few useful apps, but don't know how to answer a call...... Crazy!!......... I'm sure it must be something simple.
I'm embarrased to be asking such a question but I hope someone can put me right. Cheers!
You don't just tap that icon, you need to swipe it across to the right & the call will answer. It's a similar process when you are dismissing an alarm.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you so much...... I thought it might be something simple, but swiping never occurred to me!....... You've been a big help
yeah its useless .. you have to swipe upwards with you finger on the telephone icon.. rather than tapping the icon.
I wish i could setup auto answer or even change this.
