Answer calls without swiping

iAMRy — Sat, 04 Jun 2016 23:57:36 GMT

I have a z5c and I am having trouble answering calls. Sometimes I can't swipe it to answer. Can I use the power button or something to answer a call?

@iAMRy

Settings > call > smart call handling it's an option

@uliwooly @iAMRy That's a good suggestion uli, I use it and it works nicely. Just bring the phone to your ear and bam.

Where is it in smart call handling? I only see an option to put it to my ear

Ok once the phone scrren goes off, this doesn't seem to work. How do you get the power button to answer the call?

You can't do that by default, you can only use power button to end the call. Check some 3rd party applications from google play, maybe they allow that.

I am with iAMRy on this. Having recently purchased the Z5C, I have missed several calls by having to swipe from the "Answer" icon to the "Reject" icon to answer a call. That is ludicrous (I would prefer to say stupid, but want to be nice as a newby). When the last thing you touch on the screen after the swipe is the "Reject" icon, the phone cancels the call.

Simple solution... just allow users to "touch" the answer or reject icon without the swipe.

Yeah, this would be very nice for calls, just alarms should stay like they were: Swiping for alarm and touching for Snoze.
