Hi everyone!
I have Samsung Galaxy S6, 5.1.1 Xtresolite Deodex. With TWRP.
I m bit annoyed of Samsung's native "Incoming call screen" because I always accidently decline incoming calls when I try to take out phone from my pocket. On my previous phone I didn't recognized that problem(iPhone 6).
Good solution can be to change method of answering calls from just simple "tap" to "slide to answer". I have seen this answering method also on the previous versions of Android(Kit Kat).
What would you suggest? I would appreciate any suggestion. But the best is not to use a separate application but just to modify its native calling screen(kind of addon).
you have settings/accesibility single tap mode or you can change the answering method from phone app/settings home button to answer

It doesnt solve the problem because this will be just an additional method to answer. It will not prevent accident declines of calls. I would like totally replace answer and decline buttons on the screen by the slider.

Idk what you're talking but my S6 is slide to answer. You probably have something enabled in accessibility.
In my mind, i think incoming call screen should enable proximity sensor for off the screen when it in pocket, so when you pick it up u will not face the problem.
In daily use, I insert my phone in pocket in position screen outward of body. pick it only the margin of the phone.
sorry for my bad English

Thank you very much. That's it. I found of that it can be changed in Settings/Accessibility.

Hi, I'm considering going back to WMobile phones and seriously considering the Kaiser. I currently have the N73 but had many wm5 phones before, SPV m600, Trinity, XDA Orbit, Wizard etc etc, all had annoying little "bugs".
I know the Kaiser is only just out, but can anyone tell me if you have noticed any of the following?
1) delay in ringing when receiving an incoming call. i.e. people on the other end hears a ring, but my phone takes about 3seconds before it rings...v. annoying!
2) delay in waking up.
3) slow response in dialing, i.e. when pressing a number on the dial pad.
4) Missing incoming comes, i.e. full reception but people unable to get through. Extremely annoying.
5) Rebooting itself
6) Alarm not going off.
Hows the call quality?
Anyone used and have any issues with the T9 pad, think that's what it's called. I use to use this, but gave me problems when i switched back to virtual keyboard, e.g. wouldn't switch back at all.
Sorry for all the questions.
1) Haven't tested this yet, i'm hoping this isn't the case though...!
2) Wakes up pretty quick, no unbarable lag
3) Same as 2) - all seems pretty responsive, no bad lag
4) Never had that issue before, don't expect to get it with the Kaiser
5) Nope, although i haven't installed any other apps etc yet...
6) Same as 4)
I can only really compare with the Universal (as that's the only other WM phone i've owned)... my initial impressions are that it's a lot quicker than the Universal... maybe that's partially due to the fact that i haven't installed any bits yet... or really tweaked it.
The 3 second delay was REALLY annoying.... as i'd have to start every phonecall with: "hello....... hello? heeeelllllllllo?" lol... i hope this isnt the case with the Kaiser!
Also i think a lot of the noticable improvements are also due to the fact that im using a vanilla HTC phone, as opposed to a crappy T-mobile 'runined' one! Also i think WM6 has brought in a lot of changes which are noticeably improved over WM5.
EDIT: oh and the only thing that really 'bugs' me - is that i'm used to the lovely VGA Screen of the Universal, so dropping down to QVGA is rather noticable... text looks blockier and using Cleartype seems to make it alot fuzzier than on the Universal.... but that's my only really negative point so far.... hopefully it'll be the ONLY one
EDIT2: Something else i just thought of.... the fact that when my Universal locked up... if i didnt have my Stylus on me (which i usually didnt) and i didnt have a small pin-like object to stick into the reset hole... i was SCREWED... which REALLY pi**ed me off.... countless times i'd be on the train home from work, about to email a friend... only to have my phone lockup... then i'd have to wait an hour before i could reset it and start writing... GRRRRR. Anyway, the Kaiser actually turns off when you hold down the power button... simple... and GREAT! (the power button on the Universal was so stupid.... in my opinion.... was there any way (except by using 3rd party apps) to actually turn the damn thing OFF?! lol)

1) The delay is/was caused by the CPU/OS coming out of standby. With PDA type Windows Mobile devices they have a standby mode where the whole operating system is suspended. The mobile chip remains powered and when a call comes in it has to send a wake up request to the CPU and OS. It is the time the CPU and OS takes to become responsive that causes the delay. I noticed this delay was quite a lot on the Toshiba G900, several seconds or rings before it had woken up to sound the internal audio to alert you to the call. Sometimes it wouldn't wake at all :-(
The Kaiser wakes very quickly, hardly any delay at all, they have certainly put in a lot of work in this area.
Windows SmartPhones don't have this problem as they remain "always on" so respond without delay even though they may look off.
2) Answer above, very quick, almost instant.
3) Seems okay to me.
4) This is probably the OS failing to wake up, I would doubt this happens on the Kaiser.
5) Okay so far.
6) This again is related to the CPU/OS failing to wake up to a request. It is likely the phone you have experienced this with has some problems waking up when asked and would explain all your concerns.
Hope that helps.

Phil
I read on another thread regarding the assembly which houses the green and red call buttons being loose. What is the opinion of other users over here. I am asking this as I am considering buying one soon to replace my Touch
Regards
Yes the whole section moves slightly on mine, it must just be where they float on a rubber section underneath.
I hadn't noticed this until now, why is this a problem? If it was fixed two tight the keys would scrape against the sides when pressed. Makes sense there is some space.
Regards
Phil
The buttons feel a bit 'loose' but no more than in any other device (the buttons on my PSP for example).
Thanks for the reply guys, kaiser sounds promising, just hope it continues to impress.

There are two contributors to this:
One is a registry entry, where all of the "standard" options cause a 3 second pre-ring delay and 3 second delay between rings. This can be fixed in the registry.
The second is network delay. The caller will hear ringing before your phone rings (usually 1-2 rings) no matter what phone you use. I've had such delays with every mobile phone I have ever used, smart or not. If you try the registry hack (search around for the exact key, numerous posts on it and I can't remember the exact registry key at the moment) and are still not happy, you have one option to reduce ring latency - get a landline.
Good afternoon, all. I've had my AT&T Tilt for about two weeks now and now that I’ve had time to acclimate I’ve come across a few bugs that are slight annoyances.
1.) When I dial a number without the area code the Tilt does not cross reference the number with the number in my contacts. The 8525 cross referenced the number regardless if I used the area code or not. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
2.) I use HandsFreeLink from Acura and it seems the volume is not as loud as it was with the 8525. I have to adjust the in car volume which makes the system voice very loud but not as loud for phone calls. Is there any way to adjust this?
3.) After I disconnect from a phone call the screen dims and stays that way. I have to toggle the power to make it bright again. Any solution?
4.) The screen dims when the device is locked. Any way to disable this feature?
5.) When the device is off and I open the keyboard the device turns on; even if the keyboard is opened ever so slightly. Any way to disable this feature?
I am using the ROM that shipped with the device. I have not made any tweaks. Thank you.
I'm sure someone will be upset for bumping my own post, however, I am certain others are having these issues. Anyone? Thank you.
Same Issues
I have the same issues (Very Annoying) and i hope there is a solution. Otherwise this PDA is great.

Me Too !!!!!

I have the same issues and spent all day today (just got it today) adjusting the settings that were there to see if i could resolve them.
If somebody fixes these issues, YOU WOULD BE THE MAN !!!!

Thank you for crossing one of the issues off the list.
Two issues down...
Friendly update: Issues #3 and #5 can be resolved by using KaiserTweak.
Ok well i don't know exactly what to call this but i was hoping that there was an app out their that is like the iphone so that when i answer a call it shows me the normal end call and what not but when i put my face against the speaker (or more so the light sensor) that the screen would lock. I think that this would a great app because so many people end calls with their cheek that it is a bit annoying. but any way thanks for any help in advanced.

^^^^Try that, works a treat
thank you im downloading now =]
Ok well this works for the time being but now i was thinking someone could make an app that would turn off the screen when the light value gets below a certain point. (i would try but unfortunately i only know a little c++ and vb) so any one with the expertise if you could make it i would be highly appreciative. Thank you.
I have a problem where when I have an incoming call it is slide to answer, not push to answer (hardware and touchscreen buttons) like it used to be. It also disabled the hardware buttons so I can't even answer with the hardware answer button. I'm using the latest EnergyROM and I believe that included a slide to answer change for incoming calls. I've searched google and the forums and the only things I find are people WANTING the slide to answer dialer, not like me trying to get rid of it. This wouldn't be a huge problem except for the fact that slide to answer does NOT work for me. For it to work I have to have the phone perfectly level and even then sliding it to answer works maybe 30% of the time if I'm lucky.
I love EnergyROM (yes I also posted in the official thread, my question was overlooked) and I would love to keep it but a phone should be able to answer calls. If anyone can tell me how to change the dialer without changing the ROM I would appreciate it!
you can use advanced config and change to the default dialer skin
Thanks!
That was a surprisingly simple solution, I haven't ever really used advanced config, thank you for pointing that out.
lol nice , what build are you running , it seems to have worked its self out recently for me atleast .
EnergyROM 'Mercury' (SYS 23009) Built on July 29th
^That one, although I didn't flash mine on July 29th, so I see there have been almost weekly revisions, I got mine sometime in July, so probably one of the earlier ones.

Well, maybe, try to calibrate the screen... Or adjust screen pressure threshold...
Hey guys,
I've had this issue intermittently on my S4 Active but my wife has it constantly on her regular s4. The keypad won't stay on during calls when you're trying to use an automated phone system. It's like the proximity sensor gets confused about how close you are. I've read a couple posts on different forums with other people asking the same question but nobody seems to have a solution other than disabling the screen off during call feature. Any guru's here know anything that could be helpful? I just put the Hyperdrive ROM on my phone and have noticed it more since the software change.
