Hi
Since I flashed the Nougat update, I have a problem with the incoming call popup.
When I receive a call while using another app, and I answer the call, it opens in full screen.
I want it to be like it was on Marshmallow. (keep the call in the popup)
Is there any way to fix it?
Thx.
try with double tap on the multitask icon.
It's no good enough.
What if I'm watching a video or playing a game?
Instead of moving to the call activity -> turn on the speaker -> go back to the privious app, I want to keep the call in the small popup like it was before.
call on pop-up dialog box seems to have been removed since update.
The phone answering issue was the first thing I noticed with the Nougat update.
I loved that feature, I can't believe they got rid of it.
But yet the messenger is still like that.
Are we sure that there is no way to get that feature back?
I have been looking everywhere for a fix to this problem. I loved that I could play, browse or do anything without an incoming call interrupting me.
Is there really no way of changing it back?
At the very least, I hope that they bring it back on another update.
Hoping there's a fix. I don't always want to answer the phone when I'm doing something. It was easy to ignore the call before, but now it pops up full screen and when I decline the call it locks my screen.
I had been looking everywhere for this setting thinking it was reverted. Now I know it was just removed. I hope they patch it back in.

I flashed the ROM yesterday and noticed a couple of things.
When I went to People and did a contact search by name, the result came up with a black screen. I hit menu and I could edit the contact and the all the information would come up. I could dial from that point on.
Also, I had a call come in and the screen was blank with no contact info or incoming call on the screen.
Lastly, went to change the Theme on ADW Launcher, and when I switched Themes, a bunch of apps were opened and I had to back out or close everything. The web browser was one app that opened, and I had to hit the power button off, then back on, as hitting the back arrow would not close the app.
I had the odd call thing happen today as well. First and only time it has happened. The phone rang, or appeared to, yet when I went to grab the call there was no screen notification of any call and no way to answer it. To top is off, the phone app never showed either a missed call or a left voice mail. Made me wonder if instead of a call, it was a random triggering of my ringtone with no call behind it.
There are a few quirks that Im finding out.
Most annoyingly is that the phone does not have my contact number or cell number.
is there a way to fix this as Ive read its the SIM that needs to be identified and I guess flashing the ROM erased my identity to the Inspire when I did this?
I cannot use TiKL or people do not have my number appear on their phone if I call them....
Before I discovered all of these ROMs on this forum that were somewhat debloated already, I spent a lot of time going through and debloating it myself to get it exactly how I want it and make it as vanilla as possible.
Along that train of thought, I'm having a heck of a time with the lockscreen. It's easy to rename or remove htclockscreen.apk, same as the Inc2 and TBolt. However, upon doing that, while the phone does revert back to the stock Android lockscreen, you can't answer an incoming call while locked. You have to unlock it, and then it appears as though you're already in the call - therefore all you can do is "end call" and call back.
For a period, Widget Locker seemed to remedy this, but it was inconsistent, at best. I've also messed with some of the idlescreen apk's (related to the Sense 3.0 "apps" within the lockscreen), to no avail. What am I missing?
TIA...
I think you have to select the option 'Hide Incoming Calls' in WidgetLocker settings for calls to work properly. You still have to unlock before answering, though. Unfortunately, that happens when you disable the lockscreen completely. I got used to it now. After unlocking I see the incoming call and have the option to answer or decline.
Definitely better than not being able to answer at all... thanks for that - I'll give that a shot.
That definitely did the trick... honestly that's not a bad feature anyway - decreases the chance of a pocket answer, and an extra swipe is no big deal to me.
What's weird is, in my testing, the other way worked fine as well... i.e. it came up normal before enabling "hide incoming calls". Who knows...
Last night I was trying to call into a live TV show, and of course the telephone lines were flooded so I couldn't get through. The call would connect and inevitably I would get a busy signal. I then needed to hang up, hit redial, hit speaker (so I didnt have to hold the phone up to my ear!) and then wait to see if I could get through. I thought to myself that there must be a better way! Is there any app that can keep dialing a number and then somehow alert me if it gets through?
Bump, still looking for this!
Bump, I need one to auto call for my prescription...
Bump aswell...
I really want an app like this. Or just a button "redial" when the call is disconnected or line is busy.
The main thing is that this will have to go as quick as possible.
I did this once.. I was so used to hang up and call right back again I missed that the call went throu! So I accidently hung up! =D
When I receive a phone call, the phone displays either 1 or 2 options.
Option 1: Regular notification where i can drag the phone icon to answer or decline, which is easy.
Option 2: It displays like the screenshot below. Nothing happens when I tap on the DISMISS or ANSWER. The only way to take a call is to slide the notification left or right to dismiss it, then pull down the notification center and click there. It is far too much work.
My LG G3 does not have that problem. Is it a bug? Does anyone have this problem. and how do I fix or avoid this?
Thanks.
UPDATE: I just tried reboot it, and it worked. Now I can touch DISMISS/ANSWER. Not sure if it will acting up again.
I never saw that. But I switched to a different launcher within an hour of getting the phone and may never have received a call during that time.

I get that too didnt realize it was a bug just an annoyance
Yeah I get that one one too sometimes and not sure why. Usually I screw it up and ditch the caller on accident when I get this notification bar for an incoming call. I hate it!
How did you enable that incoming call banner?
I always get option 1
Are you using the default phone app or hangouts

I use the default phone app.
And I don't think this has anything to do with launcher as I just changed to NOVA but problem still persists.

I'm noticing that during many of my calls, I apparently hit the HOLD button accidentally with my cheek. My proximity sensor seems to be working fine, and the screen does turn off appropriately when I hold the phone against my face. I'm assuming that at certain angles enough light gets through to the sensor to turn the screen on, and I accidentally hit the button in the corner. Anyone else have this issue? Is there any way to circumvent this? Thanks
Unfortunately i can't help but i am getting the same issue

I tried applying different dialer apps and they only serve to change the dialer/contact screens, but the default calling screen containing the HOLD button remains unchanged. I found that using Skype as the default dialer fixes this issue since it uses its own dialing/calling screens, but obviously it's not practical to just rely on Skype. So the problem still remains unresolved.
As an update, someone on Reddit posted a download link to the Google dialer app here at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/app-google-dialer-t3323432
This installs a new dialer, which actually provides a new calling screen as well, fixing the main issue. The default dialer is better in my opinion since it opens up the dial pad immediately while this one doesn't, but this is a good option at this point

even worst than calls is when you press it while watching youtube vids, i wish there was a lock of some sort cuz the music stops paying all the sudden
It's embarrassing when I put my clients on hold and don't realise until they don't respond to me. The cheek hold doesn't result in any audible sound so you can be talking for 20 seconds with the other end on hold. I love the S7 edge but I'm contemplating sending it back. I'll try the Google dialer mentioned above first though
Same issue here. I talk on the phone almost 2 hours a day and this is happening at least 1-2 times in every call! Checked my proximity sensor and it's working as it should.
Any workarounds? Maybe someone can edit the phone.apk and remove this stupid button or disable it? I am against rooting but I will definitely root my phone if there's a fix for this.
Damn, I suffer exactly the same issue! Found this googling for ideas...
Very old thread, but I just wanted to give a suggestion to others with the same issue. I really love the Google Phone dialer app, which actually replaces the calling screen during calls with this app's own screen, so you no longer have the Hold button at such an unfortunate location. If you do choose Google's app, I recommend this specific version: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-2-05-07_rc4-release/google-phone-2-05-07_rc4-android-apk-download/
The caller-ID function by Google actually works with this version, whereas the other .apk files floating around do not have this function working properly.
I'm having the same issue and I've installed the Google phone, however as soon as I place the call, the existing on-screen options pop up.
The option to disable the default phone app is greyed out in settings, so unsure on how to resolve.

Finally searched for the answer to this today, after several accidental holds on work calls.
The solution above with Google Phone APK worked for me. I just went to SETTINGS - APPLICATIONS - DEFAULT APPLICATIONS and then under Calling App near the top, changed it from Contacts to Phone. . For some reason, I cannot open the phone app itself (gives an error message) but calls do use the phone app rather than Samsung stock dialer.
Turn off screen!! Most phones allow you to turn screen off without interrupting the call.
Same issue with a galaxy A5 2016
Can't understand why samsung doesn't fix it
