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.

When the screen is locked, and a calendar remidner pops up, is the an option other than dismiss or snooze? For some reminders, I don't want to keep snoozing, and I don't want to dismiss cause it'll disappear. On the htc magic I would unlock the screen, check the reminder and then leave it or press home and it would stay in the notification pane until dismissed. But with the hero to even access it it seems I need to dismiss it. Any way around that?
On a completely unrelated matter, when you're talking on the phone and someone rings you, is it not possible to check the number afterwards? Seems that it doesn't register in missed calls.
Cheers.
I can answer the second question, when you go into your contacts (People shortcut), you can scroll to stuff in the bottom. When you slide all the way to the right, there is your call history. You can check incoming, outgoing and missed calls there.

Checked there, it doesn't seem to list missed calls that occurred while you were talking on the phone. So I hear the call waiting beeps, they stop, I end my call, and there's no record of the number that rang during my call.
the calendar thing is indeed a bummer, there should be the possibility to deactivate the alarm AND leaving the reminder unread, so it stays in the notification bar. i am wondering that i didn't notice this by myself yet, since i used to use the calendar this way all the time...
as for second question: just tried it, i see the missed call in the status bar, when i click on it i see it in the call history as missed call. i also see it when going by contacts -> most left icon in the bottom slidebar.
so far: 1. issue is a real annoying issue, 2. issue isn't a problem at all
hmm, thanks, maybe the beeping was in my head and not a call that was waiting!
On the calendar issue, seems to be an htc sense thing, as it worked fine on the htc magic that was plain android.
To not dismiss a reminder dont slide down but press the menu button on the lock screen, it removes the lock screen and takes you into the main screens.

Tried that, it still dismisses (or snoozes) the reminder. Which reminds me, in the calendar options, you can change the reminder display from 'show in notification bar' to ' show as alert' but both seem to do the same, at least when the screen is locked?!

What happens if you just hit the power/end button to turn teh screen off and then turn it in again?
same effect as snooze, pops up again a bit later
i always find what i look for in xda, so i didnt even had to ask yet, but not this time. i searched xda as well as the web and didnt find anything similar.
prelude: i have a very good data plan so i always call back my friends, but now it makes me crazy. i had to:
1) hang up (decline) their call
2) unlock the screen
3) pull down notification and go to missed call -OR- go to call logs
4) then hit call for my friend.
i taught it would be a lot more convenient if there would be a 3rd (or 4th) option when u get an incoming call:
u can reject it,
answer it,
answer by sms AND
u can decline & call back. (in one motion)
well i found an app called redhot callback which is a shortcut u can put on your home screen. when u open it, it checks the call log and dials the last incoming call automatically. but it still takes 3 steps to call back: decline the incoming call, unlock screen, open the "app". basically thats what i want to do but from the incoming call screen, and combine it with a decline, so it declines the call and calls it back in one click.
i searched xda as well as the web and didnt find anything similar. my question: does a mod exists for that , (expanding the incoming call screens functionality with a decline&callback), or is it even possible to make a mod like this?
there are apps (for ex Full Screen Caller ID) that can modify the incoming call screen so i taught it cant be that difficult.
(i attached a pic of what am i talking about, its pretty bad but u get the idea
Ya there is an app called full screen caler on play store
.
DONT JUST SAY THANKS CLICK IT
i know, i tried "full screen caller id pro" and "full screen caller x pro" but they only change the theme of the caller screen. they also have some useful stuff like sync photos with fb, but u cant add or edit the caller screen's functionality. when i have an incoming call i can reject/answer/answer with sms. i want to add another option to the caller screen, which rejects the call and call it back immediately.
i found a solution for fast reject & callback. its an app called "Reject & Callback" (who would have taught) its a very basic app, it just checks your call log and makes a call for last incoming by shaking the phone. whats nice is that u can set the shake threshold. so when u have an incoming call u only have to decline it then shake the phone. i guess it was lot easier than modifying the call screen.
Anyway, my original question was is there any mod to modify the original call screen, or is it even possible? im still curious would be pretty cool if u could add more function on the call screen (call screen replacement apps are not perfect, the original call screen still shows up and its not pretty)

a good idea
I am using cm 10.2 (legacyxperia). I want to know if there is any way to make those call back options which come for missed calls always appear no matter how many notifications are there? as far as I have noticed the call back option appears automatically only if the missed call is only notification at that time, otherwise I need to expand the missed call notification. is there any way to make that option appear automatically always?
I've tried several 4.4.2 ROMs - OmniROM, SlibSaber, Beanstalk - in all of which, the option in the phone app settings of "Non-intrusive dialog for incoming calls" does not work for me. When I receive an incoming call, I see the small dialog of the incoming call at the bottom of the screen. The dialog:
1. has a small square on the left, in which the caller picture should appear, but instead there's always the picture of "unknown caller", even though the number that called is in my contacts. When I don't use the "non-intrusive" option, I do see the picture of the caller.
2. does NOT have any buttons on it (accept/reject/ringing icon), so I cannot do anything with the incoming call... I cannot accept nor reject.
On Beanstalk, I got this "non-intrusive" option working only once, after a factory reset, but it was for a limited time (don't know what changed it). With the other 2 ROMs, it hasn't worked (and showed the above symptoms) even after a factory reset.
Any idea what's wrong with it? Others with the same device and the same Beanstalk build said it works fine for them.
Is there even a way to check it? Logs or anything like it?

Anyone? No one encountered this problem? Most of these ROMs come with this option enabled by default! So one would not be able to accept/reject incoming calls when having this problem.
My last phone with lollipop had an option to make incoming calls non intrusive, and show on status bar, when someone called me I see the call on status bar, there I could reject accept or ignore, if I accepted the call I could keep playing the game while talking.
But in marshmallow with this phone when I get a call the game goes to background because incoming call steals the whole screen and at that point I loose the game connection.
The weird part is this. After I get interrupted and phone is ringing I see an icon on bottom left corner to make the call show on notification bar, and then I can talk and play, But this change should be permanent for all calls, and it isn't.
I need this, help please
