I know that a lot of ppl have been frustrated by the need to use a slider to answer calls on Android. I find it very annoying. I know there are a bunch of apps out there that provide a touch button answer screen.
But I noticed that at (least on JB), when I have a call waiting, the native android answer screen has touch buttons to answer or decline!
I was wondering if anyone would know how to tweak things so that we could get this screen to pop up for ALL incoming calls- or if this has already been done?

Hello all,
Here are some of the things that have been bugging me since I got this new phone.
1. SMS Wakeup. When I get a text the screen wakes up and it just starts pushing buttons while its in my carrying case.
2. When I get an incoming call, sometimes I don't want to answer it. When the call comes in I get 1/2 of a ring and the touch screen answers the call, sometimes it ignores it, but most of the time it answers it.
Any fixes for these problems?

You could try S2U (Slide to Unlock).
Wake Up on New SMS –> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <– set to “1″ by default. Change value to “0″
The Raphael (and the diamond on 1.93) now ring and vibrate for incoming SMS, so this is not really necessary, but will turn the screen on if that’s what you want (I personally don’t).
I am experiencing problems on both mine and my wife's Fuze with any ROM that has the Slide 2 Answer. If the phone is on sleep, I can't answer an incoming call after the first ring either using the S2A slider or the hard key. I can slide the slider, but the phone doesn't answer. If I answer the phone on the first ring, or when the phone is not in sleep, I can always answer the phone.
I can always reproduce this with any Slide 2 Answer dialers.
1. Put your phone in sleep.
2. Call your phone
3. Wait until after the first ring, i.e. answer on the 3rd ring.
4. Use either the S2A slider or the hard answer key.
5. Phone won't answer, and the phone goes to voicemail.
This is on both of my Fuzes, different ROMS with S2A dialers, and yes, I have reflashed and hard reset numerous times, without installing any new software after a flash. The regular dialer works fine.
Anyone else have this problem?

I have the slide dialer in my rom. I have never seen this. The only issue with the dialer I have ever had is the delay between incoming calls and the actual audible ring starting. I can answer on any ring under any circumstance. I rarely answer before the third ring.
FYI it would have been best to post this in the software forum in one of the many dialer threads.
Thanks arup for your quick response.
I'll keep digging and see what I can find out. Weird thing is that this is on both Fuzes.
This issue should be posted in the thread for the roms you are using or the many threads related to the dialers. Also it is posted in the wrong section. This is not a Rom Development topic. Please put more though into what you are going to post in the future, especially if it involves starting a new thread.
I like to have my phone so that I can hear it when I get a text or phone call, so have the volume set to 30/30 and on ring and Vibrate.
Problem I have is that when I open an app or youtube vid it comes blasting out so I turn the volume right down, then I forget to put it back up when I exit the app, so I don’t hear my phone ringing.
Am I missing something or is there no media volume setting? Also is it possible to get new notification sounds and ringtones or to set your own, I’ve not put any sounds on the phone yet, and is possible to make the keyboard vibrate when pressed rather than make a noise?
Making the phone vibrate when you use in general is called haptic feedback and as far as i know the Lumia 800 has this only for it's 3 capacitive buttons.
I would search for an app that gives you haptic feedback for the keyboard.
Regarding the sound volume issue...all i can say you are not the only one complaining about this. Nokia/MS should have made two sound profiles. One for the ringtone/notifications and one for the rest. You could try searching for an app...my guess is that some talented dev. will fix this problems much faster than Nokia/MS.
I'm sorry i couldn't give you a better answer, but the thing is the OS is still in its infancy and things will get fixed in time.
I'm confident that you wont have to live with this issues for much longer.
Cheers
Thanks for the response.
I absolutly love the phone by the way in every other way besides the volume issue it is superb.
I have huge problem, becouse then phone is in my pocket, it many times answers to call by my leg.
So, is any tool to disable sliding call answer, and make ability only answer by power on button, pressing two times in a row, or something ?
Hi all,
First of all, i hope i'm not doing anything wrong like posting this in the wrong place... i tried to find a better place for that, but didn't find any, so i hope mods won't whip me...::highfive:
Sooooo, I don't know if you guys think the same way, but every time i get a call, i'm affraid to reject or answer call by mistake while trying to pick my phone from my pocket.
That's why i'm currently looking after an app that would give me the opportunity to answer/reject calls by pressing hardware buttons (volume up to answer, and volume down to reject for exemple).
I know there are some apps that do that, already, but what would be awesome would be the possibility to completly disable touch fonctionality, or, in a simple way, remove the slide (or push buttons) to answer on screen.
That way, you can grab your phone in any way, putting your fingers on the screen without worrying about making a mistake.
To put it in a nutshell, the perfect app woulb be:
-No answer/reject call on screen (to avoid mistakes)
-Answer by volume up (or down...)
-Reject call by volume down (or up, indeed)
And maybe mute the ringtone by flipping the phone (but really not needed).
PS: Haven't you already received a call while under the shower, and got pissed off because you couldn't slide to answer with water on your fingers? hehe
If someone know of such an app, you would make my day
Thanks for reading ! :angel:
