Samsung Galaxy Mobile Phone

[pusskin]

Hi Abers,

I have difficulty swiping my screen to answer a phone call on my mobile.
Have had to ring them back a few times and its driving me potty!!!

Please explain in simple terms how to do this. Ta very much.

Sorry, should have said. ..Change it to just press the green and answer the phone.

[mccfluff]

which galaxy?

I press and hold firmly on the green circle and then just move my finger staying in contact with the screen untl the call connects. It did take me a couple of goes when I first got the phone. Have a practice by ringing yourself from a landline.

[mccfluff]

you could also set it to answer by the home key if that would be easier, mine is a 2

settings, scroll to accessibility then answering/ending calls and select "the home key answers calls" and the power key ends calls

When i press the accessability sign it asks if i want to disable accessability!

[Prudie]

Which Galaxy is it pusskin? I have the S3, when i go into settings/accessibilty I have lots of options including the one fluff says but nothing that asks me if I want to disable it.

[mccfluff]

you need to tell us which model, as prudie - mine doesn't give me an option to disable, in order
auto rotate screen
screen timeout
lock automatically
speak passwords
answering/ending calls
accessibility short cut
and some more but im getting bored of typing....

oh sorry. I have Samsung Galaxy. Young. 4GB.

Prudie, have followed your advice and it worked a treat. Thank you!!
That will do for now untill I get this green button working and not have to swipe any more. Thanks to you too Fluff for your perseverance. x

Occasionaly, if my hands are very dry, the touch screen on my iPod doesn't want to work. Licking my finger first makes it work fine.

i find if my galaxy ace has got greasy finger marks on it doesn't respond to much just wipe with a damp cloth with a "very" little bit of washing up liquid .that cures mine

I have a Samsung Galaxy and the way I was shown to answer it was to touch the green arrow and then swipe across as if trying to move the arrow out of the circle. Works every time - is there an easier way??

Have had three more phone calls now and answered them straight away!!!!
Goody gumdrops.
Thanks for all your help Abers, much appreciated. x pusskin
