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?

hello does anybody know how to add contacts to the emergecy call list on the evo 3d?
i have alrady upgraded to ICS however when i have the phone locked with a pater or with a password it shows a emergency call at the botton of the screen if you click on it will bring up the dialer with you are supposed to be able to add emergency numbers there so in case of emergency that something happen to you in my case i ride a motorcycle a lot, the person that picks you up or the ambulance can use to call your emergecny contacts, if you click on it it will say you don't have any emergency contacts on the phone i don't know how to add it.
thanks.

My HOX+ is always locked and I use a pattern to unlock it. Yesterday I call unintentionally 911 because of the friction in my pocket (i guess). It's the second time it happens to me. It too easy to make unintentional emergency call in my opinion.
Do you guys know a way to change de 911 emergency contact from the lock screen to something else (like "555" or "12345" ... or anything else to prevent calling 911) ?

I don't think that's possible. I never had such issues in years.

This is the first time I see such a question, congrats .
I think you should try a lockscreen replace app which supports pattern as a method of unlock.
Hi
So everyone someone calls me and I have my phone in my pocket, the phone automatically sends message to the caller that I am busy and can't take his call. The screen is so density that when in my pocket it sends the message. Is there a way to disable this function? I've tried to disable the stock message app with no success. I am on 4.4.4 rooted.
Thanks!
Yeah..it happens to me and it is really annoying..!
Does anyone have a solution?
Anyone? Otherwise I'll sell this piece of crap
Bump

I have an issue and I'm not sure if it's with LG or Android. I'm on stock ROM, stock dialer, Nova Launcher, rooted and BL unlocked. I have Magisk Manager, but no Xposed installed. Whenever I get an incoming call, the entire screen is taken over by the notification. I can't pull down from the top, go home, go back etc. All I can do is deal with the call. If I'm using the device, it's a major pain when a SPAM call comes in and I can't do anything about it. In Settings > Network > Call > More > Alert "Show voice calls while in an app" is set to Pop-up, but it's not doing that. It's full screen and intrusive. Strangely the option for "Floating Bar' is greyed out.
I also noticed that there was no vibration when the call came in, despite setting it to do that. Does anyone have an answer??

For me on that firmware, when a call comes in I hit the volume down button and it silences it. I can then reject it completely or do other things while it goes to voicemail.

I can't do anything other than Answer, Reject With Message, or Reject. Though I am able to silence with the volume key, I can't press home or swipe on from any edge. It's baffling.
Weird though, I just tried again and for some reason it's back to normal. I also have Mr Number installed to counteract SPAM calls which also popped up. All I did was reject the call the first time and it was back to normal. Fixed?
Nope, there's something borked here, it did it again. I can't control my phone when receiving an incoming call apparently!

Have you tried disabling Magisk Modules one by one and checking if this resolves the issue?
You said Floating Bar was greyed out. Did you debloat any apps? Maybe something you removed is causing issues?

I only had YouTube Vanced and Volume Steps Plus installed. I disabled them and rebooted but the problem persisted. Interestingly, The screen takeover is only when the screen is off. If it's sitting on my desk and I receive a call, I only have those 3 options. Maybe because it was screen off locked? If I'm using the phone unlocked and a call comes in, then it works normally.

Yeah sounds really confusing. Are you using Volume Steps Plus from Magisk or Xposed? I tried the Magisk one before but it doesn't work and the Xposed one seems to be years outdated so I figured a freshly updated one on Magisk would be the only one worth trying.

I don't have Xposed installed, and I don't think either Magisk module work honestly
I wanted to revive this thread as it's truly annoying still. If the phone is off and I receive a call, I must deal with the call and can't use the phone at all. Not sure if the launcher (Nova) is having a play in this, but would reflashing 20g possibly do something?
It's probably like you said, because the phone is locked.
You can't press the home button when you're on the lockscreen.

Everybody else seems to be able to do it. Additionally, it won't unlock when the call is incoming, I'm forced to deal with the call and can't use other apps.
Can you describe in more detail?
When you're in a call and you would like to check the schedule, for example.
Take your phone off your ears, does the screen turn on?
How about using an earphone? Speakerphone?

My experience is detailed in the first post. This happens when I'm not using the phone and a call is incoming, so no headset or phone held to my ear.
