Phone call comes in.
I can't just let the phone continue to ring and do anything else in the meantime, like unlock to the home screen.
Any way to change this?

Yes, you can. On the incoming call screen, just swipe on the edge panel (you have to have it enabled) and choose whatever app you want from the list. It will open up in multi-window mode, with the incoming call screen in the other window. Keep using the app while the phone rings away
Attaching some screenshots I took for you.

At least OneUI lets you do this. I'm not aware of any other phone manufacturer who has an option to do anything on the phone with an ongoing incoming call screen. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmmm..Pixel is my only other Android experience. I don't remember what it used to do.
I don't know/remember what iPhone does either.
It's the fact that we let go of those navigation and home buttons, I guess.

Even with the home button (physical or virtual), you cannot dismiss an incoming call screen altogether without taking some action like accepting or rejecting the call. I've tried this on iPhone as well as Android from various manufacturers. Amongst the phones I've personally used, Samsung is the only stock firmware that gives you a work-around in this matter.

Hey there ppl
Iam searching for some software which can customize the Trackballs LED when i recieve sms or have a missed call to flash faster.
The LED is very usefull when you do not have any sound or vibration on the phone and its laying ont the table. But the idea of it dissappears when it only flashes once every 10 seconds as you will have to look at it in a long time to see if you have recieved anything.
So it could be really nice if some sort of software existed

You could install theVillain Rom 3.3.... When receiving sms, email, voicemail, notification, the trackball will led.. you can also switch off part of these settings.
Notifylight works fine (IF YOU HAVE ROOT!)
I would like to change the slide to answer/decline call to something like tap/click to answer. Sliding drives me crazy because i have small hands and it is hard for me to slide rather than just tap. I just changed my Iphone4 to HTC One, on iOS I have had a mod called EZDecline which forced the stock system red decline and green answer button on every screen and it was good.
On HTC though, on the lockscreen there are slides - how to get rid of them without disabling lockscreen ?
I have TrickDroid v8 and Nova Launcher.

Slide buttons are only on the lockscreen while the phone is locked. There are normal buttons on unlocked phone, but I want to change the sliders on the lockscreen, since the most of the time, the telephone is locked while being called.

You will have to use an app more than likely.
I use SMS pop up and it also controls the incoming phone calls and I only have to click to answer. There should be tons of apps to do what you are looking for. Just a few that I know if would be SMS Pop-up, Notify, Full Screen Caller ID.

I guess nobody sees it as a big deal ... Doesn't surprise me though that it was available on the iPhone seeing as you can''t do jack **** on an iPhone without modding or tweaking something
... On a side note though, I'm confused as to why your small hands pose such an issue with sliding to answer? Are they toddler sized hands or something?

Holding firmly phone and sliding the decline slider is just uncomfortable. Im not the type of person who focus on the phone with tho hands. I am walking and want to fast answer or decline with one hand and the grip with one hand for me is not secure.

No settings for the call stuff. Should just reboot after installing and it should take over your incoming call screen. You may need to enable the SMS notification setting for the call screen to work though, not sure never used it without enabling the SMS notifications

If you're on latest firmware with updated touch driver, it's more like a quick flick rather than a full swipe. Pretty easy to do.

SMS notify works but the incoming call is still Slide to answer on the lockscreen. Is it because i use Nova Launcher ? I fully rebooted the phone 3 times already.

Could be. Sorry, I have never used Nova launcher.
I think it is because I have Nova with Sense 5.0 and the lockscreen comes from HTC Sense ui and it overides the incoming call styles and I am stuck with sliders.
Full screen caller ID app should still work. You can configure the how the incoming call screen looks and it wouldn't matter which launcher you are using.

Hey XDA'ers,
I just picked up my N6 a few days ago.. I've been on Nexus devices after I gave up on the Galaxy S3. Never looked back! (Except for my CM12 LG G3 )
So here is my question to you all. Has anyone created or integrated app/code that once your face is recognized, unlock to home screen without a swipe? I was comparing the iOS finger unlock with my fam this weekend and it would be nice not to swipe up even though your face has been recognized.
If its not implemented, I can donate some money for someone to create something like that if plausible. Maybe a bounty if others are interested.
Thanks for taking a look!
Is that not the default behavior when you select face unlock as your security? I haven't used it in a little while however I am sure that is how it works. Turn on phone, look at it, boom home screen.

Nope. I use face unlock right now. Once it recognizes your face, it allows you to swipe up. It didn't automatically unlock.
Couldn't this pose a risk of unlocking when unintended? Perhaps you just want to see notifications on the lock screen quickly and see if you actually want to unlock and act? Or what about changing the track in the lock screen music player?

I see your point, however if someone were to make an app or bake it into a ROM, there could be a "hold off for __ seconds" before it checks for a face and goes to home screen. For instance, you could make it zero if you want immediate unlock, 10 seconds to check notifications. And if you didn't want to unlock and just check notifications, you would just hit the icon so it stays locked until you swipe up at that point (how it is with 5.0 at the moment.

Then I would be too impatient when I want to skip the lock screen and just swipe anyway - defeating the purpose. Swipe is faster than wait 10 seconds to auto-unlock.

Bump because I want this, I can't figure how to do something like this with tasker.
What I want:
Condition: Lockscreen locked with pattern, trusted face enabled and triggered.
Scenarios:
1. Notifications present? Remove pattern but allow me to swipe to unlock when I'm ready. (Current behaviour)
2. No notifications? Go straight to homescreen without any interaction as soon as my face is detected. (New behaviour)

I've been trying every combination of tasker and secure settings I can think of, but there's no way I can detect when smart lock is triggered with the built-in settings.
http://nelenkov.blogspot.com/2014/12/dissecting-lollipops-smart-lock.html
I read that, and there seems to be a per-user trusted flag that's edited by smart lock, if tasker somehow could read it, we could trigger actions with it.
There problem is I don't know where the flag is or how to read it, I'm a bit out of my league here, maybe you are more knowledgable in this matter.
Take a look at the Stock LG G2/3/4 ROMs, this is their default Face Unlock behavior. I came from the G2 and am having withdrawals, partially because of this feature.

Bit of an oversight not to have it on Nokia's part. I mean how much would it have cost, a $?
Phone call notifications are hard coded as missed calls.
Email / messages - these are based on the notification category - GMail / Outlook show as emails, FB Messenger* and text messages show as messages - WhatsApp doesn't
* FB Messenger is hit and miss at times, I think group ones show, but if any media is sent, the notification category changes and no longer counts as a message
I thought I could get by with glance rather than a notification LED, but I can't. Glance doesn't display notifications for Texta or True Phone for me - I have to use the stock messaging and dialler apps.
Also, glance disappears after a minute unless you move your phone. If you set it to the maximum of 20 minutes, it stays on even when there aren't any notifications, thus wasting battery.
I tried NoLED, but it's not the same, and it too has the entire display on just to display a small coloured dot.
This, together with the slow fingerprint scanner means I'll likely sell my Nokia 8 and keep my Mi6. It's disappointing, as I love having stock Android and timely updates.

I have two thoughts on the subject but I don't even have the phone so this might not worth much it's informative I gathered researching the phone as I have an interest in it,
1. I read somewhere that the area which shows the glance screen actually uses lower power and therfore shouldn't use much battery despite it being lcd it sounds weird but try the twenty minutes option and see if you truly get much battery drain.
2. I read somewhere else that there might be a software update that will enable the capacitive buttons light to blink on notifications... If you can hold on until that is available....

hey there i wanted to ask if your screen wakes upon notifications, or it stays off, but only notification sound comes through (just like my nokia 8 does)
is there a way to wake screen upon notifications (kinda like ambient display), without me having to double tap?
thanks
Unfortunately the screen doesn't wake up on notif. It was a big issue for me, as there is no led either, and the glance is just useless in its current state (really need an update to be as good as lumias)
I'm a heavy SMS and Whatsapp sender. I solved the issue with Textra for SMS (you can enable the screen wake-up in the app settings, and it works perfectly) and Whatsapp automatically wake-up the screen too.
Use glimpse notifications app, it's a great app.
Stock android, from 6.0 ver (I mean) , doesn't have that option anymore.

If I have the phone on my desk where it can't scan my face and unlock, is there any way to reach over to view and dismiss notifications? Currently if I double tap the screen it just goes straight to trying to scan my face, but it only shows a notification icon and no contents. I can pull down the notification shade and check it that way, but that's an extra couple of steps. Am I just out of luck if I want to use face unlock?

I'm seeing the same thing. Haven't found a way around it. There's a setting in face id that you can check that asks you to confirm unlock when it scans your face, but, it isn't working apparently. This is definitely one of my gripes so far.
i think i have a fix for you guys if its sitting more or less flat and you wave/hold your hand over the top it will activate the screen with out it scanning your face its part of the motion sense options i believe

Yes, I already mentioned that in the OP. I'd prefer to skip that extra step.
I have just switched from a OnePlus 7 Pro and I am confused by this too.
Is it not possible to view notification content directly on the screen without pulling down the shade every time?
Disabling 'Skip screen lock' makes the phone behave like other androids without face lock. You can read and interact with your notifications. But it's an extra step to unlock the phone.

This is definitely the better way IMO. It'll probably save battery, and I don't have to be on the home screen every time. I do already miss the one step unlock though. My 3xl, I would just grab it and hit the fingerprint scanner at the same time. This one I have to swipe now. Oh well, not sure there is any other way.
