hi Mark, Essentially, in this case, he was ending a call. He believed that he may have initiated a call-back from the notification item on the screen. So, the idea here is that the screen may have been locked, but active, and his actions caused a call-back to possibly be initiated. Therefore, the two-finger double-tap should, and likely would, end this action, terminating the possible outgoing call. If the call had not actually been initiated, then either music would start playing or, simply nothing.

Maybe I'm missing a key piece of information but never have I performed a 2-finger, double-tap to dismiss a call.

At any rate, if this happens again, I will be sure to try the 2 finger double tap. Thanks Tim. >From E.T.'s Keyboard... [email protected] Many believe that we have been visited in the past.
