[Q] Answering incoming calls - LG Revolution

Does anyone know why half the time I get a call, I have a screen where I need to swipe up in order to answer, and the other half of the time I just need to press a button to answer?
Does anybody else notice this is happening?

I've noticed this too back since the days of Revolt. As to why this is the case I do not know. But I personally like the press button answer rather than the swipe up since it always seems like the it takes forever to answer the call that way

Same here, I would really love the button approach, I've missed quite a few calls, as the swiping doesn't always trigger all the time.

It depends on whether or not the screen is on or off. On gives you buttons, off gives you the slide to answer

Sometimes is miss the call because of the slide up ****

Question about notification ringer

I haven't seen ANYTHING about this so now I'm wondering if its just me/mine. While welding at work, I keep my ringers, notification sounds, and all sound n tones at full volume so I can hear (and feel) when it rings, but when my boss or co-worker needs to talk to me and I get a text msg or email and the ringtone is blastin over their talking, there ain't no way to make it stop immediately. I gota pull out my phone, push the talk, end, or trackball and wait for the screen to light up, then slide to unlock (then wait for it to unlock), then slide down notification bar THEN ITLL STOP THE TONE. My company doesn't mind our personal phones and calls, its just rude that I can't make it stop without the whole process above. Can anyone help me with this?

Make it to where notifications are silent..... or go in to your menu and go to sound settings and turn your notification volume down. Simple

If I set it to silent, I won't hear it while welding. I gota have the volume max. I just wana be able to instantly stop the notification ringer IF it happens to start blasting while I'm talking to someone. Any better ideas, anybody?

Just hit your volume button and it will stop
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
^^ yes. hitting the volume button will silence all notifications, but will not send them to voicemail.
In all honesty, I tried hitting the volume buttons, and every button on the phone, no luck. Before the update hitting the volume buttons would silence everything but now it only works with phone calls but not other notifications. But thanks anyways everyone.

Set notification tones as short (<1.5 seconds), loud tones.

I noticed this today also. When you have notifications set for texts you can't silence them. I've tried volume buttons trackball send button camera button And the end button. All would not silence it. Volume button will silence calls but not texts. This doesn't matter to me at all because I just use the stock short notifications because I hate long ones. Just putting that out there

Should home and back be illuminated ?

My home and my back arent illuminated I'm sure they were when I got the phone
Reviews show them lit .. before I ring 3 for a replacement I want to check
Thanks

cover the 2 sensors on the top left with a piece of folded paper or something, do they light up?
Ah yes .. I'm sat under a bright light doooh thank you
Thought my home and back was faulty . It sometimes is less responsive than other times (double tap to get multi apps ) but I'm presuming that's a software glitch
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Others are reporting issues with the buttons sometimes not responding, not sure if it's a software glitch, or just a small footprint for the buttons, ie you have to press right on the button and not in the general area if you know what i mean.
Cool I'll relax then and stop worrying my phone is faulty. Big thanks
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I would monitor how you go with pressing the buttons, it may be a glitch, but i know when i'm using mine, i am often off the button when i press it, being used to the One X for the last year, the buttons are further to the edge, so automatically i have been pressing further out than the actual buttons are.
I always turn mine off. Just saying lol

The capacitive area is in fact VERY small. Just barely bigger than the Home and Back icons themselves. Precision touch is required and is why I suspect some think its not responsive

Seems that the One has very small area of touch for buttons, so probably not software problem.
Turn on vibrate and you will realise how small of an area we have .. seems the way it's been designed and not a bug . Vibrate assists because you know when your missing now don't have the issue

Anyone else vibrate does not work on their phone?

The vibrate does not work at all. Anyone else come across this with there phone?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I feel like the vibration on my phone is way weak, so maybe in the future, it might go out and it kinda scares me. But, I do like it's not a crazy vibration that the whole world can hear when it goes off. Quiet vibrate is good, but scary because it's almost too weak.

Problem with HTC picking call

Hey guys I have a HTC one and due to its feather touch the phone call gets cancelled or connected in my pocket itself. Ian not sure what to do right now so any help would be great. I would like to pickup my phone without any problems. Thanks

How does the phone move about so much in your pocket that it gets to slide the Answer Call button?? You need new pants bro
I'm impressed of forum.xda-developers.com , I need to say. Really not often do I encounter a phorum that's each educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you have got hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the difficulty is one thing that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very blissful that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for something regarding this.
It's not sliding it's touch for some reason

Touching doesn't answer calls. To answer phone calls screen lock you have to drag the Answer Call button. So you probably have the screen on while in your pocket.
It's not drag for my HTC One don't know why would I require to lock with pass?

Nope, I don't have any lockscreens active. Mine is touch to answer only when the screen is on and unlocked, other wise I have to drag the Answer button to the middle to answer.
Don't know why even if i touch in the slightest it accepts call

You are certain that your homescreen is locked when you answer the call? Maybe record a video of you receiving a call?

I tried to change the touch and hold delay option to medium or even long, but nothing happen since this problem still made me crazy a lot. Does anyone else have the same problem with me that just tap anywhere on the screen to answer or end call in some case without slide the answer icon, I'm so crazy because most time I put my cell phone in the pocket.
I also had the problem but was fixed.

It will be my pleasure if you can show me how to fix this problem, I tried with some modification in accessibility option but nothing happened. I think that many other people have the same problem with me and be waiting for your help.
firstly in accessibility make it long touch and i then am using a cover.Other options could be rooting and going to a different rom but i would never root my device but,if u are into rooting then u could try it.

Yes I have that same problem and find it extremely annoying. Same with unlocking it..just the slightest touch on the screen anywhere and it unlocks. Might as well not have a lock screen if its that easy 2 unlock. I want to have to slide the lock icon up to unlock. For answer/decline call its just touch answer or touch decline, no sliding anything. Id prefer the sense 4.1 lock screen with the ring
EDIT: Has nothing to do with short/long touch. I found that turning off accessibility services solves the lock screen problem. Don't know about calls yet. Haven't tested that. Only the lock icon would move, now they all do as they should and just touching the screen doesn't unlock it anymore. Have to slide up to unlock as it's suppose to be

Thank for your quick reply. Firstly, I found that changing the touch delay option in accessibility become longer does not change anything.Secondly, I do not really want to you cover since I used the 1st cellphone until now. Therefore this problem is hard to fix until root my cellphobe. But the same with you, I think that I do not need to root my phone for this stupid reason. Just like you guys, I just hope HTC also quickly realize this problem soon and give some fix bugs in the next update. Anyway, thank for you help!

Hi, can you show me how to turn off the specific accessibility service which related to screen lock option? I looked for this option in accessibility but I did not find it. Thanks!

answering calls difficult

Seems my swipe to answer takes anywhere from 3 to 5 swipes before it will actually answer the call. Is this an isolated thing or are others having the same issue? Missed plenty of calls because of it.
No issues answering calls at all for me.

Are there any hardware buttons that answer like the power button can end?

I rest my finger on the answer before swiping. Works better That way. Have seen the same issue.

I find this problem on every Android phone I ever owned, touched or played with.
I changed it to Home Button to answer the call,it's a lot better (you can change in ACCESSIBILITY).
Resting my finger on the answer slider for a split second seems to be helping. Kind of annoying that I have to do this on a brand new phone but what can I do...thanks guys
Hold your finger on the answer button until the green ring gets larger, then swipe.

I think this is a pocket guard feature if your phone is facing your leg. Just my two cents. Don't think it can be disabled.

first make restart. then you can return to factory settings

your right on with that answer, there is about a 500 millisecond delay for swipe to answer in order to prevent the accidental answering of a call while its in your pocket/purse/briefcase etc. this can be modified by changing some smali code in the incallui.apk (i believe) but i wouldnt recomend it.
i find my phone calling people from time to time. when i take it out of my pocket. lol.. dont think the feature is helping me t all.
