I know this sounds odd, but it there a way to configure the Droid so that the phone icon doesn't appear at the bottom of the home page?
Here's the deal: my wife and I both have Moto Droids and she has numerous games and videos on her phone which our toddler plays. Unfortunately, he will (too often) hit the phone icon and get into the call log. Then, of course, he hits an icon and dials one of our friends... not a good thing when he calls your pastor at 6:00 am when the pastor is on vacation!
Is there a way to lock only the phone icon, or to remove it from the home screen. My wife doesn't make that many calls and she's fine with having to get into the applications screen to make a call, or having to enter a 4 digit code in order to get to the call log screen...
Any ideas?
TIA,

I have a HTC HD2 and when the screen is locked, it shows a number 1 (identifying that i have a notification).
When i tap the notification icon, it drops down and shows me the voicemail icon - which means i should have a new voicemail message to listen to.
If i slide the voicemail icon, the phone goes straight to phone book, but when i call my voicemail - there are no new messages...
I have tried everything and i just cant get rid of this voicemail icon! I DO NOT want to do a hard reset.... Please let me know how to sort this out...
Exactly the same problem here! I wonder if it has something to do with PhoneAlarm which I have installed. I didn't notice the '2' before, but it may have been there before installing PhoneAlarm though.
Also, and sorry for hacking your topic, my lock screen sometimes stops to show up; whenever I have installed a cab and soft reset I have to manually adjust the registry to 'lockscreen always on'. Could have something to do with PhoneAlarm as well, but I've checked the lock screen settings in PA.
Oh, and maybe this topic should be moved to the HD2 forum ;-).
Does anyone know a way to make the facebook status stay after the call starts ringing? I'm talking about the one that scrolls across the bottom of the dialer screen, when placing a call.. Any idea?
When you call someone their facebook status flashes very briefly across the screen, below their picture, but then goes away when it starts ringing. It isn't there long enough for me to read it ever. This is stupid. And there has to be a way to make this last longer..
Hi all,
When I receive an incoming call on my phone, the top third of the screen shows the callers picture. However, the bottom part of the image is cut in half and not scaled to fit the area. The area below this point is all black with just a picture of a phone in a circle at the bottom half of the screen. I then slide the phone to the right to reveal the options to answer the call.
I've not had a nexus before but have ran third party AOSP ROM's and I'm sure the top half used to display the caller picture in full or at least the silhouette person for contacts without pictures rather than cropping them off. I'm also sure that a circle animation used come outwards from the centre of the phone icon when the phone rang to indicate how to answer.
Can someone confirm what I should see when I receive a call as I'm sure mine is not right. Do you see the circle animation on receipt of calls? Here is the screen shot.
Thanks
Steve
Resolved. Factory reset sorted the issue.
The incoming call pop-up thingy is annoying me daily. The buttons are very small, and when I end a call I sometimes click after the other person has ended it so I then start to send a text message (same place button).
I have gone into apps and blocked the popup notifications for all 3 call apps, & the contacts app, and then I went to apps the can appear on top and turned off some stuff there as well, but still the popup stays.
So I would just like to have the normal call screen, at all times. The same one you get when you start a call yourself.
Is there a way, without rooting, to do this?
I've seen the google dialer apk which would probably fix it, but rather have stock dialer if possible.
It's in settings for Messages but not for Phone. Could be different for different Roms.
There is a line in phone preferences xml called "call_popup_preference"
If you're rooted you could try flipping that to false.
Hey everyone. First I want to say I hope everyone is hanging in there during this very tough time. I'm having a problem with my Note 10. It's on Tmobile and I bought it from Tmobile. It's 100% stock and I've done usual updates from Tmobile OTA. I have recently seen that my missed calls do not show in my notification panel. If I pull the notification panel down into extended view, missed call icon is not showing there either. If I go to the Phone app and tap on recents I CAN there see missed calls. This is causing a major issue for me. Can anyone help? I also have gone to settings -> notifications -> phone and show notifications is grayed out.. but it's grayed out in the ON position. Also missed calls, voicemails are also grayed out in the same phone panel.. but in the on position. I'm really confused what is going on. I just want the missed phone icon to show in my notification panel because I often have my sound off. Any help would be great thanks!
