[Q] Answer calls with simple swipe - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I receive an incoming call I would like only a simple swipe to answer. Currently I get an option if I swipe up to send a quick reply. Sometimes when driving etc I accidentally swipe up instead of right and drop the call. Very annoying. I've searched everywhere and cannot find an app or a setting to get rid of quick reply's.

Is it in your country allowed to use phone when driving. If it is, report to Google.

Not exactly a solution to my problem, but yes we can still use phones while driving in Florida. I usually use Bluetooth, Just using driving as one of many examples.

Doesn't your bluetooth device has an answer button?

OK lets forget about Bluetooth and pretend I'm not in a car. No Bluetooth just don't want to have instant reply when I accidentally swipe up. Do you have a way to address my problem or not. If not no more reply's please.

If you are not in the car then clear your mind, think three times "right, not up" and answer your call. With time you will get your own mantra.
Also you can try to find working button remaping app.

Stop txting and driving, you might injure/kill someone
There's handicap/disability options somewhere in settings

Incoming Call Direct to Notification

Does anyone know of an application that will put incoming calls directly to the notification bar instead of popping up in the middle of whatever activity is taking place... web browsing or smsing for instance.
Sorry if this has been asked before but i have been searching for a few days and havent been able to find anything.
Thank you,
This would be awesome!. Say it can show on the notification bar Incoming Call From John Doe and also ring as well if you like. This way it doesn't interrupt us at all!
I would pay $$ for this
Yep id be willing to pay also lol
I third that!
Forth-ed!
And coming from me, that's really saying something!
I'm pretty cheap
fifth-ed
I'd love for this to happen too!
6? lol
i guess you would press clear to ignore the call?
I would totally buy this as well.

"Send Text" button on Incoming Call

Hi There.
I've googled myself blue... But I can't find a solution to this issue I'm having so I might be the ONLY one.
But I'm sure you guys know of this little button at the bottom that says "Send Text" when you have an incoming call. Do you guys have any idea how mad it's driving me. I'll get a call and pull the phone out of my pocket and I seem to always place it in such a way that when I grab it I press this button, ending the call, and starting up the messaging app.
Is there a way to disable this button? I'm sure I remember something about it in the manual or something, but I just can't find it.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

[Q] Swipe down to answer phone call with speakerphone?

I had a ROM, don't remember the specific one at this moment, but it had the convenient option of swiping down to answer phone with speakerphone. This was in addition to regular option of swiping right to answer and up to reply with SMS.
Is there a way to add this in?

Question How to connect without calls going through it

I like to connect for emails, texts, and apps, but do not want voice calls going through watch. This is the first time I've had this happen, and hate it. I don't see anything in settings for phone or watch to eliminate this without disconnecting watch from phone. Help please
Go to settings then notifications and find phone and turn it off

Thanks, I'll try that. Although it seems like more than a notification when the actual call goes there

I'd say it'll work
I had the same issue. Just figured out the solution: Go to the bluetooth settings of your phone and disable call functions for your watch 4.
Thanks. I never would have found that. In several years with a Samsung watch, this is the first time I've had this happen

How can I make it more difficult to answer an incoming call?

Lately my phone answers incoming calls too easily. Just the slightest touch anywhere on the screen answers the call. The green dot means nothing anymore. I keep my phone in my pocket and now many calls are answered by simply pulling the phone fro my pocket. Is there a way to truly lock the screen or make it more difficult to unintentionally answer a call?
buy a cover,,,
Get a Samsung

You mean like lock in the box? That seems useless. I do have a cover. If moving the green dot answered the phome, that would be fine. But any touch to the screen answers it now. Something changed in recent updates.
I mean like a wallet type of case.
You have checked the phone setting that there isn't option to answer with a key?
Also some Accessibility setting might help...

I can't find any setting for answering a phone call. Several configuration settings have seemed to have been removed with recent updates. Not just with answering but also with data control.
Accessibility.. "motor and cognition" in my LG.
Touch control areas --> make most of the area in phone app not responding to touch.
Touch and hold for calls -> is it on? If not, try it and change the "touch input" time to much much longer..
These I found ... might work.. depends..

Thanks for replying. I do not have a touch control area setting. I do have a touch and hold delay, but changing that setting did not help.

Certainly isn't an issue on my fully updated, stock 4a. Check Accessibility settings. If no joy reset you phone
I switched my Dialer to a third party and the problem cleared. I guess the stock dialer just became too sensitive. Not sure why Google did that.
