Almost without fail whenever I receive an incoming call, the action of pulling the phone out of my pocket slides the "Decline" button and I reject the call. Occasionally it slides "Answer" but neither are desirable since I just end up hitting "End Call" thinking I'm hitting "Answer". Is there an app to replace the stock M8 app that handles calls so it it a button press instead of slide. Any other suggestions would be appreciated as well.

Is it possible to disable the "hold" feature on the call status screen? I'm left handed and every time I pick up a call my face touches the screen and puts the call on hold.
Or can i change the HOLD button's position on the keypad?
Call Status Features (When i make a call):
Speaker On Mute Hold
Note Contatcs End
Thanks!
Haha, funny, but I want to find the answer to this too. I sometimes End the call or press Speaker On when it touches my face.
try to find caller from forum Development and Hacking with somethig like a slide locking features off caller... i think it's from opal but i dont relly sure
Easiest, since it's a built-in feature, is to press the power button before raising the phone to (and touching) your face. This will turn off the screen, making it impossible to touch any of the on-screen buttons AND will NOT disconnect your phone call. Using the red end-call button to hang up will cause the screen to automatically come back on so you can continue using your device. If you need to use something on the device (contacts, calendar, etc) while still on the call, press the power button again and the screen will light back up - all without messing up your call.

The dude has the answer. Nice!
Is there any way to stop my device waking when i press keys such as the start button (with the exception of the call end key), it keeps waking in my pocket and calling people which is getting very annoying.
No. Don't you have a lockscreen to prevent doing that sort of stuff?
Yes the lockscreen is there but if i lock the phone and put it in my pocket to listen to music for example the music will keep stopping and i find that the screen is back on and it is attempting to call someone :S
Then you should try to find out what screws up, even of the screen goes back on you should have the slider that you must go past to call someone.
Or, you have your headphone connection moving and initiating a call, like if the phones' call button was pressed.

use TouchLockPro or S2U2. Both will turn it back off when the proximity sensor sees something near by.
Using stock rom. Tapping the phone button at the bottom brings up the list of calls, dialed and received. Tap one accidently and instantly hit "End call" button. Phone does not hang up, but completes dialing with "End call" button changed to green "Call" button and disconnects in about 30 seconds.
This is quite frustrating when you dial the phone number you did not intend and only able to hang up after 30-35 seconds.
Hi all,
there's something strange or some I'm missing about this simple function. I'm used to my old Gear Fit functionality that turn off watch screen and vibration if I refuse an incoming call by pressing any phisical button... with GS2 smartwatch is not the same: pressing home button just stop vibrating on incoming call, but screen still remains lit , is it intended and there's any way to let it turn off when incoming call is manually refused?
Thanks all for support.
When I place a call, I have like 1-2 seconds to press the speakerphone button before the dial-pad slides up over the button. That's way too short of a time and causes me to have to click the "X" to close the dial-pad, so I can see the speakerphone button then press it.
Very bad UI - there is plenty of room to display the dialpad and commonly used functions like the speakerphone, etc.
So, is there any mod/setting that would prevent the keypad from automatically covering all the other buttons behind it after 1-2 seconds of a call connect?

Dial pad does not (re)appear uncommanded on my stock device. Something else is triggering this behavior.
I think I know what happened...
If I dial a "contact", then the dialpad does not automatically pop-up.
But if the dialpad is showing, and I tap and hold on the "1" key to call my voice mail, the dialpad will disappear, then the options buttons appear (including the speakerphone button), but as soon as my phone connects to voicemail, it pops-up the dial pad and covers up the speakerphone button.
I can sort of understand why it might be doing this (because you'll probably need the dialpad to interact with voicemail), but often I like to listen to my voicemail on speakerphone, and just a 1-2 second window to tap the speakerphone button before the dial-pad appears is not enough time.
