Answering Calls?

[J Wadle]

I've been using a Nexus 6P for five months and continue to have problems answering calls. Very often, when my phone rings I extract the phone from my pocket and find that the call has already been rejected (as if I had done a swipe left). At other times, swiping right causes the phone to reject the call.

Are there any alternatives to the swiping method as a way of answering calls? For example, can I disable the swiping method and answer by pressing the power button briefly?

Any help would be appreciated.
