I tried Incoming Call Plus Beta, and it was horrible, it would mix my contacts up when I was receiving calls. Is there another Incoming call app available? Because I am looking for something sort of like the iPhone when answering phone calls, instead of sliding left or right to answer the phone, because for some reason I sometimes do not answer the phone call because I do not slide/unlock the phone fast enough to answer, I want to be able to just hit answer, or end call/ignore, one button, any suggestions?

Try using Fullscreen Caller ID, it displays a full screen picture along with 'Answer' and 'Cancel' to replace the Sliding OPtioin of Samsung Vibrant
Not happy
Anything else ?
What you mention doesn't have the level of polish I am looking for.
Incoming call plus beta, available from the market.

Does this happen to any one or is it just me?
I have an ordinary case for my Touch Pro. Almost 10 out of 10 times when the phone rings and I reach out to my phone, try to take it out - boom - the call becomes a missed call. I guess what is happening here is that once the phone rings, the screen is active and either your finger accidentally touches the volume key or any other key or even the screen, it makes it a missed call. It is very annoying and how to avoid this????
Thanks

there is a key disabler cab look for it
There are many options how to disable the touchscreen.
There was a topic not long ago about this.
Answerkey Disabler
PocketShield (I currently use this one)
TouchProLock
Sensorlock
Throttlelock
S2U2 (not recommended for TP, drains the battery for unknown reason)
All these deal with locking the TP.
Sorry for not posting links but I don't have much time. All of them are available on XDA though.
You do have the option of extending the time it takes for a call to go to voice mail, it can be extended up to 30 seconds. The option is under settings > phone > Services > Call Forwarding
There is also a lot of lag on between the time the caller's phone is ringing and you get a ring on the Fuze
I guess this is not because of the keys. Just keep the phone in front of you and try to call your phone and see your self, first you will see the incoming call indicator light, and after some time you will start hearing the ring tone. Now by the time you take the phone from the case - it's a miss call. I tried to search all over XDA but didn't find a way to start ringing immediately when call comes, I read some where that this is due to the dialer skin and by using default WM dialer this can be fixed. I didn't try this.

I think he was talking about the touchscreen being active on incoming calls.
If however the problem is in the delay, then the dialer skin is the key.
You have to change it to the WM default (it does work, the lag is almost gone) and have the ringtone in WAV format (not tested, I didn't bother to put any wavs).
if you get rid of the dialer and switch to WM
you will lose functionality including the symbol to show bluetooth being on or off
I downloaded and installed disableanswerkeys and it works fine. It took a while for me to understand the cryptic question it asks in the beginning - i get stumped if there are two negatives in a sentence So It is on and i tried and it works ok. I also downloaded sensorlock and throttlelock. Yet to try these ... will post my comments.
the lag in answering the call - i believe there is a separate thread about that, right?
Thanks for the help

LOL, that's what happened to my bluetooth......thanks
One thing that really pisses me off is the dialer with an incomming call, while you are already on the phone with someone else. Its a pain in the ass to actually answer the call. Intead of it answering when you swipe, you have to go through 3 steps:
-Swipe
-pick end call or hold call
-swipe again to answer.
Does anyone else find this annoying? Every other phone I have ever had lets you answer the call immediately, which places the other call on hold.
I tried to search what this "answering Mode" is, and it doesnt look like its what I am after.
hi,
i am using nexus s (unrooted) and i have two things to know from you guys.
1. if i call someone and he is already in a call, i don't see any notification on my screen that my call is waiting. is there any app for that?
2. if i am in a meeting, i want to reject a incoming call with sms. which app is best for that?
i am not an expert. please help.
thanks

I'm not sure what you mean about the first question, but I'll attempt to answer both. I don't believe there's an app that tells you when someone is on the phone, but sometimes (depending on carrier) there will be a beep after each ring that signifies the person you want to call is already on the phone. The other indication is a busy signal, your phone will hang up almost immediately after receiving it.
I believe almost all call rejection apps have the option to send texts to the caller once it has been declined. Search the market for 'call rejection' and download whichever one that doesn't require root.

ok this is a weird problem
my own fault
phone is the OnePlus one obviously.
have been having ongoing small problem with the dialer, as i use DW dialer.
sometimes when i went to make an outgoing call the stock dialer would also load and i would have to push the call button twice.
small problem but annoying.
so i went into the settings>apps>phone
and cleared the phone setting >launch by default.
this has fixed the outgoing calls problem
however now when i have incoming calls it doesnt bring up the window to let me answer them. the phone kind of hangs while the incoming call is ringing.
i can get back to the home screen. but there is no way to answer the call.
so i need a way to reassign the incoming calls to the phone.
i dont get any notification on the phone itself. just the ringing phone.
there is no way at all to answer the call - cant swipe down.
the only thing i can do is wait for the call to end. then see who is in my missed calls and ring them back.
please help
cheers

I've been having this problem for a few days now. Phone rings but no UI for me to answer the phone call. Any solution to this yet? Thanks.
U have to tell which ROM u r using. There should be some option in settings for accidental phone wake up (Something like that), you have to disable that. Search in the settings.
I have updated to 5.1.1 but problem is its not showing the name when incoming call....only showing first letter of the name how can we find who is calling
I've just solved this problem on my phone - I'd blocked notifications from Dialler:
Settings --> App Notifications --> Dialler --> Deselect Block
Man!! This is a lifesaver. How come this solution is not available elsewhere. Thanks a lot!!!!
Hi,
I've just got a watch 2 sport and when I've dialed someone off the watch and they are engaged I cannot see how to end call as icons disappear, I then have to get phone out my pocket , same when I'm on a call and want to end it off watch without getting phone out, unlocking it, then ending call, how do you?
Thanks.
Would like to solve the same problem.
u can set in option to ends call by pressing power button
I've tried wear dialer and that does what I want, ie there is an answer and a end call icon on the watch itself, it's not perfect because once in a call you can't see anything on the watch bar the dialer, if you want to see the time by pressing the home button it ends the call.
not sure if i understand good (my english is not very well )
if u have a call and wanna see for example time, just swipe dialer like u would close any app, call will remain and you will be able to see what u want and at the end of call press power button

Not my situation.
I cant see the call informations on my watch.
Once I pick up the call, call UI on the watch dissapear.
Kind silly if you are driving car and speaking to your bluetooth and you are not able to end call without picking phone out of your pocket.

That's what I can't understand, I call a number from my watch through my Bluetooth, the call ui disappears, the number is say engaged, I then have to go back to my phone to end call as the watch won't do it, the only way the watch will do it is by taking the call solely through the watch itself, the call ui then stays.
Not the best but I've stuck with wear dialer even though once on a call the watch only shows the call ui, if you want to know the time while on the call, you can't.
