I'm amazed!

I see no mention of a problem that both my friend and I have. We both have to swipe the screen 2, 3 or more times to answer a phone call. His is on Verizon and mine is on AT&T. There's something wrong that the screen swipe is so flawed. I never had that with any other S3 or S4.

Double check your settings, go into "Settings" > "Display" > "Increase Touch Sensitivity". Not sure if it will help, but hope it does!

I use the home key to answer the phone.

Thanks guys! Cobra's solution worked best. Now I can use either the home key or swipe. Very nice!

When you touch the answer button slide it to the right

 

[Ken7]

^ Yeah, did that as I have in all of my Samsungs. This one is fussy, but linking the answer function to the home button solved it.

I've noticed the same problem. It seems I have to press and hold the green answer icon for half a second before swiping. Another quirk of the OS, I guess.

It should be a little harder than just a little swipe. Wouldn't want the phone answer as your pulling it out of your pocket and you slide the screen against your pocket.

It's not a quirk really, it's an improvement in my mind. It makes you tap and hold for a half second before swiping right to answer thus preventing accidental answering.

IDK, never had this problem with my S4. Also, I never had a problem with premature answering on my S4,either.

Sometimes the really savvy developers will tell you your bug is really an enhanced feature.

 

[Ken7]

Couldn't agree more Frank. People can rationalize all they want, I never had this issue with the S4 and like you, never had an issue with premature answering. This is an issue I'll bet they address.

I have the same problem. I guess I'll use the home key to answer.

It's been that way ever since they introduced the physical home button with the S3.

Oh wow lol I always used the slide to answer, never bothered to try or figure any other way

Me either... that's why I love this forum!
