Hello,
I have a Nexus 5 with Marshmallow.
I don't know what I did but now when I get a call, the lock screen opens but no way of answering the call.
Before a green screen would show up with a button on bottom to swipe up to answer. This screen no longer comes up.
Could someone point me in the direction to fixing this?
Thanks

You could enable "Volume up for answering", most devices have this ability. As for the issue I have no idea, But try what I mentioned as a temporary solution.
Thank you for your reply.
I would like to try "Volume up for answering" but don't recall the location of this setting. I have now looked for it and cannot find it.
Could you please point me in the right direction for finding that setting in Marshmallow?

That setting is typically found within phone settings if the device has it, Open the phone app and go to its settings and it should hopefully be there as well.
I couldn't find any setting on the phone app I am using (True Phone) so I looked for the stock Google app and had trouble finding it. I wasn't using it so disabled it a few days ago. I looked on Play Store and found it but wanted to update it. I did that.
From that moment the answer screen returned. Now back to where I was.
Great work for making me look for those settings.
Thank you very much. All done.

Hi all. Slowly battling through these annoyances.
I can't find anything about this on a search, but I'm sure I remember reading about it. Does anyone know how to stop the device returning to the Touchflo 3D home tab every time I wake the device up? It's annoying when it goes off when I'm writing a text message or in a call or listening to music and I have to navigate all the way back.
Also, is there a definate answer to the "screen off during call" thing? I guess I could live with it for now if I can fix the other problem.
Hi, this will not help you but just for your info: my TF3D doesn't return to the home tab after wake up... You have a branded phone?
mine does'nt either so the answer is to switch over to ROMeOS rom

Mine does it sometimes but usually a soft reset stops the return to home screen.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I'm not bothered which tab it returns to, but say I have messaging open and the device falls asleep, when I wake it up it returns to the home screen so I have to navigate back to where I was. It's very annoying.
My unbranded 405 ROM TP does it and my gf's Orange branded Diamond does it.

Like i said, soft reset. Sometimes is could be a new bit of software you've installed, not much you can do about it unless you unistall it!
I've softresetted my device dozens of time's, I'm on ROMeOS but I have the same problem it doesn't stay in the app or folder where I left it, I have wondered about this. Others do to apparently, no help from me though

It's always done it, and my gf's diamond has always done it. It's definately a feature of the ROM and is highly annoying.
What about the option for returning to the today screen in the Today options? Try setting it to never and see if that fixes it for you.

That sounds just the trick, but where is this option?
Can't see it in in Start > settings > today
EDIT: found this on the Diamond forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409374
They have the same problem. the thing you suggested is for today timeout. It won't affect how locking takes me back to the today screen.
Come on guys, this is super annoying. Surely someone must have a solution?
I leant my phone to the singer in my band today as he was reading some lyrics from the internet for a cover song we're doing. He was going mad about it because the damned thing kept returning to the home screen mid-song.
I like the lock/autolock feature but I don't want it to go back to the home screen every time.
For your "screen off during call" problem, try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2767033&postcount=23

am i the only one that ends a call with the "date and time settings" screen open?
apparently, the notification's screen opens during the call (with my cheek or somehow) and the clock on the top left side get touched which opens the "date and time settings" screen...very annoying !

No, you're not the only one!!
I use a flip cover and i close it during a call, i think the proximity sensor is so sensible..
Anyway, are you rooted or stock? Because with the stock rom appened too much, with custom rom a little bit less..
I'm using the stock rom...not rooted. Is there some kind of a fix but changing rom?

If you are having this problem and youre not rooted you can simply press the power button once you accept the call. You wouldnt face the problem then.

i believe that a smart phone should be smart on its own ...i'm not supposed to help it be smart
it has a sensor that should work properly.
and if i had root?

You had a problem. I gave you a simple solution. Its upto you to do what you want. If you had root you could recalibrate your sensor.

Date & time opens after call FIX
I'm using HTC Desire HD with samsung rom, and this issue happened to me as well. However, I've managed to find rom options under settings and there I've put automatic sleep whenever I turn off the screen instead of 5 seconds on default. Also I've found that pressing the small clock in the upper left/right corner opens date and time and I disabled that option... since then I've had no problems with my phone... I hope this helps

So I've had the Note edge for about a week now. Now all of a sudden when I'm in the messaging app or eBay or most any other app. If I accidentally activate the edge screen it will not go away unless I exit the app I'm using and reopen the app. I have the Samsung wallet case I don't know if that may have something to do with it I didn't notice it before the case. Why is there not a setting to time it out. JUST AS I TYPED THIS I GOT A NOTIFICATION AND THE DAMN SCREEN WILL NOT GO AWAY. Anyone else having this issue or how can I fix it. I may just trade it for the note 4 if I can't resolve this.

There is a time out setting for the edge panel.
But what launcher are you using and have you tried removing the case and seeing if it happens.
Also what notification is it?
What launcher? What is that? Also I have not tried to remove the case and it does it in any notification or if I accidentally bring up the edge screen. and where is the time out setting

Since your unsure I would say it's the stock one.
And the settings are under
Settings > edge panel > information stream > time out.
if that doesn't work you can try to go into
Manage application and find cocktail and clear the default.
It will ease your edge panel settings

I just did that and it's still doing it. I don't know what to do. Also does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying call time while I'm on the phone and doing something else in another app? It is always in the way

Move it out of your way.
There should be an option to remove it. That's stupid to have to move a box around the screen. I have been able to swipe it a few times and take it off the screen but I cannot figure out exactly how I did it. Also problem resolved on my other problem I had to factory reset. not a good sign after I've only had the phone a week.
Hi there, anyon knows how to get rid of that message? it's frankly driving me nuts...
Thx
Its in the settings.
I dont have my phone yet(will by tonight) but from the reviews i say there was a setting to add the normal app drawer icon and disable the swipe.

Yes there is. You can either have no drawer or a drawer icon. I'll let you discover how in settings.
Go to settings then display and turn on easy stand
Easy stand? Haven't seen that yet...
I think I didn't explain myself correctly, I want to get rid of the Text message that scrolls from time to time and keep the swipe...
same issue

I remember that it's some built in "help and tips " app but I don't remember what it's exactly called. In it you can disable all these annoying hints.

Hello, I have figured this out after searching and coming up empty. It was annoying me too.
Press and hold on the home screen like you're going to add a widget. Click 'home screen settings'. Click apps button and choose 'show apps button'
The swipe motion will still work to open the apps.
Take care

Use the Samsung members app. Log in and use the device management in there to clean ram and storage. It stopped for me after using that.
Just enable and apply the Apps Button, then disable and apply the Apps Button and it will go away.
use nova launcher,done,never appears.
Just got a new replacement device after a cracked screen and the "swipe up Or down on screen for all apps" won't go away on home screen. Never an issue on my old device. Does anyone have any new details on this besides a work around?
I will go away in a week or so. Mine was driving me nuts and it went away without me doing anything.
Just scroll up or down through the app/home screen 20-30 times in a row and it will go away. It was driving me nuts and I found this discussion. Saw it was going away after a certain amount of time so I scrolled through it a ton and it was gone. Lol.
Reboot
I went through the swiping up and swiping down and it still showed the message after. But then I shut down the phone and powered it on and it was gone. Just like another user mentioned.
Hi, I had some problems with my mi a2, and i did a factory reset (i think, it was some time ago), and now while setting up it can't find my wifi, i know there is notthing wrong with my signal because it's working on my laptop, and theres no option to skip wifi in the xiaomi setup, so now i can't get into my phone.
I've looked into things like using android platform tools to maybe do something, but it seem like i have to do something with my phone to get it to work, and i cant get into my phone.Anyone got any advice?
I remember I had that option.
Go to minute 4 in this video
. Don't you have that `skip' button in the corner too?
If you have it, press it.

Well, that's indeed strange.
Unfortunately, I have no idea were this button moved to... Maybe you can screenshot every step from the beginning and show every screen which appears on every button?
But if you do, draw over wifi names and co – that's for privacy reasons.
Hi, it's just like in the video, except there is no skip button...
There is also a lock symbol in the upper left corner.Any idea what that is?

Sorry for answering late, I am a bit busy right now.
I only heared something about a lock symbol on wifi icons to indicate that it's secure/password protected.
Do you have the stock rom installed?
Perhaps your wifi network is set at 5ghz and your phone can't find it? Can you check that and change the frequency to 2.4ghz instead? It may be a dumb idea but it's worth trying
