THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! A-MEN!!! A-MEN! Dusty Tague ACTUALLY HAS A CLUE! THANKS FOR SAYING THIS!!!!!!!!!! this is one thing that blind persons tend to forget. in android you are not dealing with standards across all phones like you do with apple. this is not something that CF can predict, or make work all the time. if people keep blaming CF for things they can't control, I wouldn't be supprised if they make us wait for an update. I just got a new phone myself, and it is a lot differant than my other one was. I had a sanyo zio, and it had an answer call button, and the power button worked as a hang up button on calls. now my new one, the transform ultra doesn't have the answer call button, and is running on gingerbread 2.3 and not 2.2 what ever it was called. anyway, things are much differant for answering calls, and hanging up. on this one I have found that I have to open the keyboard, and press right arow once, then the select button. this works *ALL THE TIME* I could turn on a feature called power button ends calls, but that one seems to leave the screen on when you are on a call, and you press things with your face. smile.
my whole point in this is that people need to take a breath, count to 10 and quit blaming CF for androids problems. either learn to work around them like the rest of us do, or go buy an i-phone, and suffer some of its faults.

I think I can honestly say that for some the simplicity and continuity makes the iPhone a better purchase. The reason I said generally is that the manufacturers aren't always consistent in labeling buttons and placing them in the same location, but I have found that there are few exceptions to this and differ according to the particular app. That is the problem with a one size fits all approach on a fragmented platform. It is a shame that t-mobile doesn't offer the iPhone. You could try the sidekick 4g, or the lg my touch q, check the keyboard first to make sure, and see if that would be a better phone.

And, now forgive me if this sounds argumentative, it should not take me 3 or more gestures to hang up the phone. And, again being argumentative, why should there be one procedure for answering/disconnecting the phone when it's waking up, and another when the phone is awake as the call comes in? And, finally, if the phone is still against my ear when I try to hang up, it's usually displaying a different screen than if I move it away from my ear--something CF seems to forget to tell users in its, so-called, manual. I laughed out loud when I read your sentence that contained the words "generally works". Generally works???? I just spent over $300 for a phone, and CF wants over another $100 for this software. Seems to me that things should be a bit better than "generally works". And CF should support its users better, instead of canned responses to their problem reports. I certainly mean no disrespect to you, I thank you for responding, but I've spent almost a week trying to help my wife learn this new phone, and the inconsistency of operations, and the absolute lack of support from CF, is unbelievable.

Another approach, also when using system call screens is to tap the screen to the right of where you tap to answer, not on the right side of the screen but more to the left side of middle. Both these approaches generally work on most phones regardless of manufacture as long as they have physical navigation controls.

When your phone is awake as a call comes in, there doesn't seem to be any way to answer the call using MA. the swipe up doesn't work, just increases the ringer volume, and, like you, the volume keys just silence the ringer. I haven't tried answering one call, while on another--the manual says just a swipe up will answer, I tend to doubt that now. You can try using the system call screen, (it's selected by a checkbox in the MA settings/advanced dialog box) but I found that option even worse. With that screen enabled, I can answer the call, but I can't hang them up. It's just another annoyance to add to the list of things that aren't right with the MA application-- at least on the My Touch 4G Slide.

My question How do you answer a call when receding one? I have the using volume buttons checked to answer and hang up the call. When pressing either of these keys, it just silences the phone. Also, when the phone is in the lock position, I can answer the call by just moving my finger up the screen. My problem comes when I am within MA and receive the call that I can't figure out how to answer the phone. Thanks in advance for your help and I hope this is clear.
