How can I prevent my volume buttons form rejecting/answering my phone. I am tired of killing calls while I get my phone out of it's holder.
Thanks
Taking a guess here, settings-> call settings-> all calls-> answering call. Uncheck answering mode. Might have any key answering checked.

Thanks for trying but no cigar. I can't believe this isn't bothering others. Many times I accidently put an incoming call in voicemail because I accidently hit volume up while getting the phone out of it's holster.
look through the settings. i'm sure its in there somewhere. if not check the online manual on samsung's website.
When you hit the volume button it doesn't send it to vm, it just silences the ringtone.
but can i make them answer a call? deliberately
i hate swiping the screen

I don't know if there's a setting I missed or is this a major bug but if my phone's keyboard is slid out and my phone rings, I slide the keyboard in then wait for the phone to switch from landscape to portrait. Once it does what it does, I can no longer answer the call. I've tried hitting the "Answer" on the screen, the shortcut key assigned to it, and the green phone. I end up missing the call. Is this normal or is there a setting I can set?
Also, when I'm editing a contact and accidentally hit call, it will call the person first before I can cancel the call. I've repeatedly hit the red phone button and the "End Call" but it doesn't work until the call connects first. On all the previous phones I've ever owned and played with, I can cancel the call anytime before the call connects. Is this normal with this phone?

I thought that I remembered having the same thing happen, but in fact when I just tested I was able to slide the keyboard in and answer the call. There is just a little delay, but it did work for me after about 3 seconds. It even worked with 1 key press, and not repeatedly pressing the send key.

I think this is the same thing, just a little delay. I do this all the time and I just keep hitting end. It will always quit before it actually starts dialing.
Hi All
I recently lost my ringtone and found a solution on here, so all is fine.....EXCEPT when the phone rings, the ringtone disappears when the scroll wheel (if that's what it's called) is moved.
Has anyone else come across this problem and if so found a fix???
The phone carries on ringing silently if I move the wheel, it's just the sound that disappears and that's obviously not very good if it's in my pocket!!
I've tried pressing all the other buttons when it's ringing to see if they make the sound disappear but they don't, it's only the wheel
Any one got any ideas????
Thanks
That's not a bug.
That's a feature...
My TyTN1 did that.
My P3600 did that.
My TyTN2 Does that.
It's the only way of making the phone go QUIET without canceling the call.
Quite usefull actually....
Honestly!!??
It's a feature??
How do I turn it off????
I like that feature very much, too. When someone calls and I don't want to talk to them I just hit the scroll wheel to silence the call but let it continue ringing for them. That way they don't know I'm ignoring them. I can plausibly be out of range of my phone or some other excuse. If you press the end key or hit "ignore" on the phone screen it sends the call immediately to voicemail and the person on the other line can tell they've been actively ignored...
I don't know if it's possible to turn it off.
ive always found it usefull. but sometimes it can be annoying as OP said when its in your pocket

The beginning of every sad story I've heard about screen cracks and phone damage, has always begun with , Well the phone was in my pocket and..............
When I pull my phone from it's padded holster I always look at the caller id first and do not wish to disturb other people while I decide. I appreciate the feature
I'm guessing it's a feature that can't be turned off then
....as in back button ends call in CM. Would that be possible to make?
we already have back button ends call feature
in my opinion, menu button should not answer the calls, it should put the call into background so you can do anything else while speaking with the caller.
so i dont think this will be implemented.

I know we already have back button.
Doesn't pressing the home button put the call in the background? So we have that too.
I'd like it if the menu button would answer calls. Sometimes it's just not practical to slide to answer.
hi, just as the title shown, can anyone help me to disable it on my Xperia Z, thanks in advance.
Why would you do that anyway?

Yea why..it's not in the way or anything..

Just guessing: did you try to delete all message texts in the settings? Maybe the button won't appear if there are no texts.
..... Such a useful feature. And it's not in the way.
Two ways of using it:
Reply with a quick msg.
Or
When you just want to make the call stop ringing the ring tone. Just simply swipe up and the it stops ringing, but the call is technically still going.

I hate that it will stop ringing the ring tone.
It happens to me many times that when I'm running or shaking or something, a call comes...
Then the phone's screen is on, and my pants accidentally open the "reply with msg." and it stops ringing...
So I miss lots of calls due to that ******* function.
Why won't I just mute the call volume when I don't want it to ring?

Maybe it's because I'm quite hot (physically, no other meaning...), so the phone thinks that it's me who is touching the screen...

Perhaps, if you sweat through your pockets the water(sweat) would press lol. But you had some suggestions up there, if none of them worked. I'd just make it an habit to have the screen facing outwards. Or switch to AOSP Dialer.

Hello,
Did anydody knows a good application, or mod to enable answering calls when the phone is brought near the ear, withoout touching the screen.
I tried ear gesture apk, easy answer call apk, nothing working.
Kindly reply

he want to answer without touching to screen . when you moving your phone to ear while calling it'll automatically answer. on your picture there is no this option. you have to press volume button or it'll automatically will open if you even don't move phone to ear.
if these not working you have to try another apps for this.

The options I suggested go some way to meeting the OP's request, as in both options there's no need to touch the 'screen' to answer a call.
With the 1st option shown, whilst lifting the phone to the ear, pressing the volume button (not the screen) answers the call.
With the 2nd option shown, the call is automatically answered when headphones or bluetooth connected, no need to touch the 'screen'.
Both options meet the criteria set by the OP, without the need for 3rd party apps that don't work anyway.
In Settings, Advanced Funtions, exists "Direct Call", that settings is what you loocking for.

Don't want to contradict you, but you're giving wrong information to the OP. 'Direct Call' is intended for 'making' calls, not 'answering' calls.
At least on my device, this is how it works, if different on yours, my apologies.
