Phone dialer does not show up when call comes in..... - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

With this new update (I am not sure I can call it that at this point), when someone calls my phone, the dialer does not appear. This happens if the phone is locked or unlocked.
If I open the dialer app, I cannot answer the ringing phone.
This is pretty frustrating.
Has anyone had a similar thing happen? How did you fix it?

Solved. Turned "Block accidental touches" off.

Disable screen wakeup on incoming call

The reason for this is when I am in the car and am using the bluetooth to answer the phone is in my case on my belt. When I get a call the screen comes on and even after the call is completed it stays on for 2 minutes. I then end up calling someone in the last called list if the screen bumps the case. I don't notice because my dumb car always wants to download the phonebook after every call and the stereo doesn't connect the outgoing call. Then someone tells me that they got 2 minutes of my music on their voicemail if they didn't answer. Ended up being very embarrassing when call went out and I made some comments that "someone" was not supposed to hear.
I looked with the advanced config tool but could not find anything.
Any ideas appreciated.
Tks
Perhaps stopping the screen from waking is too drastic. This means you effectively disable caller-id. I would suggest looking into installing a screenlock tool.
I am trying pocketshield for now. I was going to look at su2u but I was told that incoming calls still turned the screen on. Will see how this works for a few days.
Thanks
Well I tried pocketshield and it doesn't really do what I need. It still lets the damn phone call after I have hung up. It leaves the screen on and at the lasted called screen. bump the screen and it calls one of my last called list. Going to try Touchprolock now and see how that goes...
I have "locked" (AT&T stock ROM - using long press end key to lock) my device and then hit the power button momentarily.
This turns off the screen. When an incoming call hits, screens lights up. After call is terminated, screen turns off.

Recent calls, and making calls

Just curious has anyone else had an issue when unlocking the phone and gonig into "PHONE" and clicking on someone's number and the phone does nothing? It highlights the name but doesn't call. When you back out or go home, the caller ID will pop up and shut off and kick you back to the PHONE menu..?
Seems it's a bug. It happens randomly too, but when it happens it's annoying.

Screen freeze when receiving a call

In the course of the incoming signal to phone I can not answer the incoming call. Screen it is frozen. This does not happen to every time. Phone unlocked after a few seconds after a missed call. I thought that might be associated with any application. I restored the factory settings. I waited for android 6.0, thinking that it would change anything. This has not changed. Sorry for my English.

Calls randomly mute when I accidentally leave the ongoing call/phone app screen?

It seems that sometimes my calls get muted when my phone leaves the on-going call screen and switches to a something else/a different app.
Hopefully that makes sense, but I'm not even sure how/when it happens so it's difficult to describe. But basically, randomly, when I'm on a call the other person won't be able hear me. Every time this happens when I look at the screen I'm no longer in the phone app/on-going call screen. Once I swiped down on the notification menu and re-enter the ongoing call they can hear me again.
I've tried to duplicate the behavior by switching apps but can't seem to do so...Has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it has something do with the the automatic do-not-disturb that enables during calls...?
Thanks

That's weird, I did never face this issue but my A2L is relatively new (1 week only).
I'll try to phone to my own A2L using different devices to see if I face this issue.

Yes, it is very weird and annoying. Not happens every time, but sometimes... ?
This happened to me yesterday for the first time, but I thought that was a problem of the person that was calling me.
It was a number I didn't have in my contacts, and after the bug I immediately called back that number, but it was not available.
I thought the person that was calling me had a very low battery charge and while calling me his phone turned off, causing the bug (because immediately after the bug it was unavailable).
To this date I still did not have this problem.
Me too, i cant answer and reject calls when i upgrade to android pie
Solved: Screen not turning on with incoming calls
Step 1: Go to Dialer or Phone app settings. To do so, you can either go to main settings, then open ‘Apps’, and then scroll down to Dialer or Phone App.
You can also access App Info page by long pressing the app icon, and then tapping the App info option or the small ‘i’ icon in the corner.
Step 2: Now select “App notifications” option and turn it "on"
Step 3: Now if App notifications are turned off, your display won’t wake up when someone calls you. Also if only the “Incoming calls” permission is off, your screen will not light up with incoming calls. Make sure required permissions are turned on and your issue will be fixed.
Xiaomi Mi 2 Lite. I cannot get incoming calls to show on my screen, so I can't answer. Tried switching notifications off and on again, tried forcing stop. Two days ago I did a factory reset and was OK for 2 days. I think this is since latest Android update about a 10 days ago.
Call answer bug
I have similar issue on Mi A1, been going for a while. Sometimes, call comes in, the answer key cannot pick and cannot reject the call. This happened after a certain update I just dont know which. I have noticed that this mostly happens at some particular GSM antennas, sometimes, just by moving away from that antenna (that's when in a car) solves the problem. But as long as I remained in that location at that time, i cannot pick or reject calls, I also can't make calls, I get the promt, network problem, even though the service bars r showing. And in some cases the people calling will tell me, that calls to me are not going through.
This is driving me nuts. When I get a phone call I get a bar at the top of the screen with two buttone, one saying Decline and the other sayng Answer. I can tap on it like a demented woodpecker, but nothing happens. If Itry to swipe it, the two buttons just disappear into a void and the phone keeps ringing with no way to answer. Very, very occasionally I get the normal notification that I can swipe to answer, but I have to phone nearly everybody back.

Clear data and cache of the "phone" App and if necessary reinstall the application
