is there a hardware button to answer calls?

sometimes..when there's an incoming call..the screen wont display it for upto 5-10 seconds....and all it shows is home screen while the phone is ringing.
some bug i think
so how to assign button to accept call?
the way power button ignores the call..how do u answer a call with a hardware button?

I hate that "unlock" thing whenever i got income calls.
i missed like 10 calls thanks to it.

One of the reasons i always use the bluetoorh headset.

Google Voice phone ring delay

I'm using GV as voicemail, and the phone only starts ringing after 5-10s (the caller already hears rings and sometimes even hangs up). Is there a fix for this?

You know there's a delay even when you call normally right?

Same, this is annoying, and my ringtones are now significantly shorter because of it.....

I have my Google voice ring my work Cell as well as my sprint phone, And for some reason my work phone rings a full ring before my Sprint phone rings. Wish there wasn't a lag or way to extend the rings.
Also does anyone know how to shut off that stupid press 1 to accept call.. i hate it, today I pressed 1 And then was told the caller hung up( cause phone rang to many times) And to press 2 to call back..

If I turn that off what happens to the people that call from private unknown or numbers not stored in my phone.
I want to hear who calls from private or unknown...

There is no call screening option. I'm having this problem too and have no way to turn this option off.

Are you sure? I'm looking at it right now, but to be honest I haven't integrated it with Sprint.
Google.com/voice>sign in>click on your phone number in the top right>click on the calls tab>the very first box is call screening>turn off.
If you turn this off, it will not announce the caller to you and make you press one. However, you won't know if this is someone calling your google voice #, or possibly your work cell # (as is my case).

GV and your desk phone are both land lines so the connection is instant. There is always a delay to cell lines regardless if you use GV. There is no way to get rid of the delay; this is completely normal.
To get rid of the press 1 to accept, go into GV -> Settings -> Calls and turn Call Screening to Off.
The funny thing is that I have a Droid X (Verizon) linked to my GV and it always rings before the Evo. I'm now thinking of switching to Verizon so I don't have such a long delay / lose calls.

LOL, dude, just tweak your EVO's MSL/EPST settings, thats all thats going on in the Droid X.
Set SCI to 2, ACCOLC to 2 & turn EVRC-B to enabled in Advanced.

The stock settings tell the phones radio to check with the tower every so many seconds. I don't remember what the default is so for sake of the explanation lets say 8 seconds. Your phone just checked the tower and nothing was coming in. Then someone begins calling you. Depending where in the countdown you are at your phone wont check with the tower for another 8 seconds or less. The person calling you will hear the phone ringing even though you have yet to receive an incoming call.
Changing the settings shortens the time between checking with the tower and thus reducing the time your phone will start ringing.

You can not do this with any AOSP or 2.3 sense roms.
Nandroid, then flash to a 2.1 / 2.2 rom, make the changes then nandroid back.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Poll] Lowest volume down - you prefer silent or vibrate?

I find it odd that the lowest volume down setting is vibrate. To me, that's not the most silent state.
Which way do you prefer it, with the lowest setting being vibrate or actually silent?

I'm fine with it being vibrate. I use QuickSettings for changing profiles anyway.

I agree, lowest setting should be silent, not vibrate.
Not a big deal, but just a bit strange if you ask me...oh well!

totally agree.. i hate vibrate mode.

In some ways it makes sense to have the vibrate at the lowest setting. It's easy to get to because all you do is hold the volume button and you're there instead of holding it down and pushing up once. Or worse yet, hitting the volume down as many times as it takes to get down there.
I use vibrate a lot, never silence. If I'm somewhere where I can't mess with my phone or have it distract everything, I put it on vibrate so I at least know I missed something. My girlfriend puts her S3 on silence all the time but if she doesn't put it back on at least vibrate, you can't get a hold of her because of it or if she forgot where she put it down at, you can't call it to listen for anything. Unless I'm in a dead silent room where even a vibrate would be rude, I don't have a need for silent mode.
I voted for it to be vibrate, but should ALL phones have that configuration? Who knows. But for me, it works.

Hah this (but in a nicer way )
Maybe email HTC and suggest that they offer the option to switch between the two in the settings?
I mean, when I'm in a meeting, having a vibrating phone is not going to cut it. If I need to covertly unlock my phone to go completely silent, hitting volume down x 8 times then volume up is kind of silly. And still a bit scary if the volume up didn't register, or registered twice.

I am using vibrate always coz i don't know the different between vibrate and silent....

You guys can change the settings of Vibrate profile so that it is actually silent, can't you?

(Q) Phone call problems??

Ok I rooted earlier today and have encountered a problem.
When im on a call it shows the call screen for about 30 or so seconds then goes back to the dialer keypad and takes away the phone call in the notification bar. Does Not disconnect or anything just no hang up button just the call button if that makes sense?
I dont know if Root Call Blocker could be the cause. I'm going to freeze the app then try again.
Yeah its the Root call blocker app!

Yeah i love the app. I emails the dev so hopefully he will have it fixed in a few days

An update that was supposed to fix our issue was released today but it fixed nothing for me, still losing radio signal and still can't return to a call in progress once I leave the call screen. Actually had to reboot to end a call.

New to Axon 7. How do you???

I have two questions. How do you stop the annoying vibrate when answering and ending phone calls? Is there a way to stop the voice activation when holding the back button?

I would be interested in this

I was able to freeze the voice. But have not found a way to stop vibration during calls. Disable or freeze app in pic.
