That may be true, but on the MyTouch 4G Slide, with MA running,
sometimes the trackpad works for arrowing down and to the side, and
sometimes it does not.
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.

Dan, if you can answer a call in system screens, you can hang up,
either arrow down once and to the right once and you should be on
the correct button. 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.

Hi Steve,
I have similar problems with the My Touch 4G Slide.
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.
Cheers

Subject: [MA] Answering A Call
Hi All,
I can make a phone call with my Android HTC EVO using MA. 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.
