I changed the option to answer my phone (GS3 i535) from the display button, to the home button. Now, when I change it back to display answering, I can't answer a phone call by either method.
So, I'm keeping it at the Home button until I get this figured out.
The phone acted this way before the OS update, and after.
Any ideas ?

You're saying that you had the 'Answering key' checkbox checked, but after you unchecked it you can no longer answer calls using the dialpad or by swiping the phone icon on the lock screen? uploadfromtaptalk1349493150828.jpg
Have you tried rebooting the phone?

You got it right. In fact, if I change it back, I can't answer it at all.
Reboot? I turn it off every night to charge it.

You can try going to Settings -> Manage apps -> All, and find the Phone app. Clear data (and Clear cache and Clear defaults if those are enabled) and reboot the phone. If that doesn't help, then a shutdown/battery pull is in order and if that doesn't help then a factory reset is probably your only recourse.

I'll try those resets and report back.
Thanks
