[Q] Reject call with SMS while lockscreen active and lockscreen mods

Hello,
some newbie questions from a new Sensation user:
1. Is it possible to reject a call with SMS when phone is ringing in lock screen? If phone is unlocked you can push menu button and send the default "I'm busy now.I will call you later.." But how can this be done when phone is locked. There are only two options to pull the ring on answer or reject call. But no SMS sending options.
2. Has anybody seen a Sense 3 lock screen with calendar info? I would use better a calendar display on the lockscreen than weather or stock info.

I am still trying to figure this out myself. I have a feeling this feature may not be available for Sense 3 yet.

So nobody ever wanted to reject a call with SMS from the lockscreen?
Well, almost nobody...

Reject++
If you are looking for an app to let you reject incoming calls with predefined or custom SMS and setup a reminder to return a call as well..
so check Reject++
You can:
- Reject a call with SMS, Reminder, Or Both.
- Convenient Slider on top of incoming call screen, slider it up and go with Reject++
- Smart SMS Templates with "Tags"
- Smart Reminders Scheduling Engine.
- Works with mobile screen locked or OFF
- Notifications works no matter if the app is active or not.

Incoming calls in background

So I was typing a message this morning when a call came in. Before I even realized it, the incoming call screen popped up and I hit the Decline button. Is there an app or mod or setting I'm not aware of that will keep the incoming call screen from coming up when another app is in use? I read that CyanogenMod has a setting like that. The phone rings and a notification appears but the Accept/Decline buttons don't pop up immediately. Is there a way to get that functionality on a Sense ROM?

[Q] Lost Incoming Call default settings - now Phone rings - but cant answer.

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!!!!

How do you get incoming calls to be full screen and not just a notification?

On new Asus Zenfone 4 Max, my incoming calls go straight to notification bar so I have a small answer and reject button? How do I get the phone to automatically make incoming calls full screen, and then I swipe left or right accordingly?

Can I restore dialer controls during a call?

When in a phone call on a Pixel 3a, I have full control of muting, speaker phone, keypad ect… But if I back out of the dialer during the call, the call remains in place, but I know of no way to return to the controls such as muting, speaker phone, and keypad. I can reopen the dialer, but all I can do is make a new call. With my old Moto G-3 stock dialer, even after backing out of the dialer during a call, a link remained in the status bar. Is there a way to return the control of a call after backing out of the dialer during a call?

There's nothing in the statusbar for you?

Nothing. I inadvertently hit the back button during a call and all controls disappeared. I had to power off the phone to disconnect from the call.

Check the notification settings on the phone app. Maybe you have disabled the "Ongoing calls" notification.
You can also enable chat heads if you allow the overlay permission to the phone app, which is another way to return back to the active call.
