I had this phone for a couple of months now and I’m pretty sure that in the beginning, when I would make an outgoing call I just swiped the contact to make the call. Now when I want to make a call I have to press on the contact and then press the call icon. Is it my memory failing me or has something changed in my phone?

I'm pretty embarrassed to be asking something like this, but is there any way to nicely handle the following race condition:
1) You're talking to someone. The call drops.
2) You call them right back. The call goes straight to their voicemail, because it just so happens that they're calling YOU right now. It took a half-second or so it for you to realize what happened...
3) ... and now you just heard the call-waiting beep, and know the 'incoming call' message is going to appear on the screen in just a moment. Damn. It's too late to abort. If you hit 'end' now, it's going to decline the incoming call and leave you in their voicemail. On the other hand, if you hit 'send', it's going to keep the voicemail call active, and take the incoming call from the person.
In other words, you have two options, and both of them suck. What you REALLY want to do is kill the voicemail call, and take the incoming call.
Is there any good way to do it? Specifically on Sprint, but I'm willing to randomly try things known to work with other carriers, too, just in case it happens to work with Sprint as well.
Failing that, does the Android API expose enough of the phone to create a custom event handler that reacts to call-waiting events by comparing the number just dialed to the number on the caller ID, and if both are the same, forcibly terminate the first call and take the second?
I hate it when this happens too. I hadn't thought of a solution but it just occurred to me that pressing # ends voicemail on some carriers. Haven't tried it with Sprint yet but might be worth a shot.
There is a couple of things i used to be able to do.
1- when on a call and get another call, it used to pop up an option to drop existing call and accept new call - it won't let me do that now. i have to dismiss the call then call back, or accept call and other is on hold. This is a reall problem if i call someone, they don't answer, but call back while i am leaving message. If i accept new call, the voicemail call is on hold in background.
Also when i first got my phone, the appointment reminder would display the phone number of the appointment, which made it easy to call and say i was running late. it's disapeared - maybe when i updated stock rom with updated stock rom (hong kong I believe)
Anyone know how to restore hese functions? call waiting one very important.
I know I must be missing something easy here.
When I am on a call and I get a second call I can answer the call. I can transfer between the two calls, but I can't hang up on one of the calls. The second call seems to stay connected, even if the other party hung up the line.
How can I hang up on one of the calls without disconnecting both calls?
Thanks!
Yeah, it sucks. That's CDMA for ya. I always worry about it using my minutes because it's usually a landline that I stop talking to & switch back to a cell call.
I just drag the notifications bar down and click the end call button to the right of the person's name.
I recently rooted and installed the Bi-Winning V2 rom for my vibrant. One thing I've noticed is SOMETIMES (quite often, but not every time) when I dial a number to make a call, ill hear a quick 2 beep notification and then the call starts ringing normally. What is this double beep??? I am not using any *67 or other *codes when dialing.
I get the same too. I think it has something to do with call confirmation. Beeps when your call went through successfully...i think
You can turn that off in call settings.
Go into settings, then "call settings"->"All calls"->"Call status tones" and unselect "Call connect tone".
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I cannot click back over to the original call when using call waiting. I get the notification when I am on a call, that a second call is coming in and I get the options (ignore, send to voice, or answer). If I answer, I am never able to switch back over to the original call after I am done. Any ideas?
n my phone when I receive another call I get the options to "Answer", "Ignore", "End and Answer"
If I answer the banner at the top displays the current caller's name and call time but gives an option to "Tap to Swap".
This is what SHOULD be there emphasis on should.
Whenever the second phone call ends, I have to press the drop-down menu and take the first call off "Hold". It's really annoying and should automatically occur once the second caller hangs up.
Odd. Mine just switches back over automatically.
