Receiving Calls - XPERIA X10 General

Hi. I am looking for some advice with regards to how I receive calls on my Xperia X10i. Basically, the story goes as follows...normally when I receive a call I have to do that swipe thing to accept the call, however, at very random times instead of the swipe I get the option of pressing 'Accept Call' or 'Decline Call' which are displayed on the lower part of the screen side-by-side. Now, to be perfectly honest I actually prefer the latter option but do not know why it is so random. To be clear, I have never updated my phone since I got it and I have searched the settings but not been able to locate anything which would explain this.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Scott

It's not random u'll get that if the screen is already on.

Unfortunately, you can't. It would appear that this option is only available when your screen is unlocked at the time you receive a call, otherwise you have to swipe to accept the call when the screen is locked.

Can i get rid of the "lock" screen?

Was just wondering,
The lock screen is practically useless especially when x10 get calls. It takes 5-10 sec to scroll that lock to its place to answer. I lost few calls thanks to it.
I want to remove it now if i can or we have to wait for root?
Hi,
What about this one: http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/teamdouche.kmobs.unlock/
Root users only?

We can't use this one coz we don't have rooted X10
Just for this lock problem, i felt like return the phone.
Today i was expecting 2 important calsl, when i reach for my pocket, i touch the screen and try to unlock with the set pattern. Then it freeze right there for me twice.
What is the point of having a phone when i can't answer.
Anyone want to start a complaint with me to their department about this issue? At least give use the option to disable it or use LOCALE to set location for disable.

sleep mode notifications...

Hey everyone
Just got my galaxy and am loving android. Have just updated to 2.2
Only issue im having is, when the screen is in sleep mode (i.e locked) if i miss a call, or recieve text msg (and arent near the phone) it will just flash up for like 3 seconds, then the screen goes black again, so there is no way I can tell ive missed something without having to press the home button every now and again.
I downloaded this application "missed call" as I thought that might resolve the issue, but that doesnt seem do anything when phne is in lock/sleep mode so doesnt help.
Also when the phone is active, and i do recieve sms it doesnt vibrate even thoug I have set it to in the settings.
If anyone knows howto get repeat/constant notifications going when phone is in sleep mode that would be great ???
Thanks heaps
Justin
Look for app noled

thanks again

How to change the time on when you need to fingerprint unlock.

Not making sense my title. My friend just bought a GS5 for AT&T.. I have mine for T-mobile. He swiped his fingerprint to unlock his phone, then like 5 minutes later I picked it up to play with it, turned it on thinking I would need his finger print, but i didn't.. Just swiped to unlock.
He said he forgot where the setting is, but he doesn't have to swipe his finger every time the screen is off.. I do. and its kind of annoying.
Where is this setting pleasee???
I would imagine that he doesn't have the setting to lock automatically when he hits the power button selected.

ok here is the deal. I was able to find where I can have my phone lock with the finger printer after xx amount of time ( I set mine for 30 minutes ) but!!!!! What he has.. When he turns his display off and back on, he has to swipe to open it. Like a typical unlock, after 30 minutes though, his will require a finger print.
now with mine, after I finger print it, I turn the display back on and its just ON. I don't like that because of butt dialing or any other issues. I want to be able to swipe to open, after 30 minutes finger print.
We played with his today trying to find where he made those settings and he can't find it now.
ARGGG!! this is so annoying, lol
COME ON!!! Is everyone confused as well?? Are we all in the twilightzone?
lol ttt
really? no one knows the answer to this?
setting, sound / display , lockscreen

WRONG!
Anyone else?
look.. It's this easy.
On his GS5. when he powers off his screen with the sleep button, and turns it right back on, he has to swipe to unlock. But every 30 minutes, he has to use his finger print.
Get it?? so if I'm driving home from work and unlock my phone 3-7 times, I don't want to have to use a finger print to do it, but I do want to swipe to unlock.
but every 30 minutes of inactive use, it will automatically lock to a finger print.
His is set this way, how is this done!

I realize this is annoying to you but your response to someone trying to help you was rude.
I also don't see anywhere other than the lock screen settings to manage your security settings. Mine also works like your friends, seemingly by default. The only thing I can suggest is to change the security to swipe and then back to fingerprint. Maybe it's some kind of glitch you found.

It's a forum, it's read differently to some people, it wasn't meant as rude. Although the reply was extremely basic, I know how to get into my security settings.
What I'm asking seems harder to find then a noob trying to root his phone. It is frustrating. It's a basic feature and I'd love to have it
Hello,
Go to lockscreen setting and set the lock automatically time to 30 mins. Also you will find an iption below stating lock instantly with power button, disable that option and you are done. Your phone will lock to fingerprint oly after 30 minutes of inactivity

Still not helping.. Again...
When I shut my screen off with the power button and turn it back on, it just turns on without any swiping needed. After 30 minutes finger print is needed.. But I want to have to swipe to unlock my phone, finger print within 30 minutes!!

This is how I feel right now
I'm on XDA forums, not some kiddy site and we can't figure this out.
someone mentioned it was a bug, maybe that is true? But I would love to see if someone can confirm this. Is it a bug. Is it simply NOT possible?
Do people understand what I'm saying?
It's not an app. He literally just bought the phone that day! He still talks about it with me all the time. I laugh at how the genius's here can't figure this thing out.
I mean.. Maybe I start a thread, "What do you use to unlock your phone"
I can't see people using fingerprint EVERYTIME to just open the phone for a second. It takes too long.
I think most people just don't even use the fingerprint option and thats why this thread is lacking any replies.
I use fingeprint all the time. I have looked at all my settings and cant find any options to set swipe as temporary lock screen.
I wish I could as I would like that option too. However I dont think that fingerprint takes too long. I just swipe my thomb and the phone opens.
Your problem sounds like something is preventing the phone from even locking. I had a similar issue on my Galaxy S4. There's an app called Swann View Plus that I would use for viewing our cameras at work. For some reason, whenever I opened it, clicked back to home, and then locked the screen, when I woke up the phone I would not have to swipe to unlock, it would just be there at the home screen.
Now I have the same app on my Galaxy S5 and it doesn't do that, however I would look towards some kind of app causing this issue. Wipe your device to factory and check to see if it is still doing the same thing as it is now, or if it does as your friend's does which is also what mine does.

No. I doesnt mention any app.
My phone does the same as yours. But I would like the same setting as your friend. I just say I have looked at all my settings in the phone and cant find any setting to set it like your friend.

Incoming calls displayed on second screen

When I'm using my phone, a call comes in it takes up the entire screen and I can't do anything but accept or reject the call. My wife's v20 alerts her to a call on the second screen and doesn't interfere with whatever she is doing. How can i me mine do that as well?
Did u turn on the second screen?

go to networks, calls, more, show voice calls while in app. change to floating or 2nd screen only.
this is just a default option for call display

I don't have that menu in my settings either but you can find if if you open the dialer and go to settings from there.
I'm on WETA's rom.

Sorry I should of mentioned the rom it's a VS995 running NotSoStock.
I found the second screen option under dialer. It was already set to second screen, I set it to something else and then back to second screen but it still doesn't seem to be using the second screen. Any ideas?
Thank you for the replies!

It's possible that the Verizon caller ID app is running interference on this. Try disabling it (unless you pay for this service).

Im having the same issue with H990DS with stock rom & mk2000 kernel.
Have you managed to fix this?
I ran stock most of the time on my V20 and all of my calls would pop up on the second screen like you describe your wife's phone doing. I always assumed it was enabled with second screen or by default
I know that you already posted that you don't have this option but I thought I'd post some screenshots of what it looks like on mine (H990DS). I put the screenshots in the order that they come in. Mostly in case this helps someone else out with this issue.

Phone app bug on OB8

Ever since I upgraded to OB8, I'm experiencing a weird and very annoying bug. On every incoming or outgoing call, my phone app gets automatically "minimized" as if home button is always pressed. What I always see is the little green pill on top left which I have to always press to bring back the phone app. I have no idea how to fix this. Please anyone help. I'm on international version and unrooted.
Thanks
try google dialer and see if it happens theres a patched apk somewhere around here. also might be the picture in picture settings under settings> app> phone/dialer.
Thank you for your feedback! I tried Google dialer in the past, it was always preferred until the VM stopped working, then I was forced to switch back to stock dialer. I also checked the PIP settings but the phone app it's not listed there. I guess I'll switch to Google dialer in interim. Thank you.

It's so bad that at times I don't even get the incoming call and people report calls go straight to VM. This needs to be fixed ASAP
Yeah same here on Google phone
