Receiving calls

If you receive an incoming call when the device is in sleep mode or the screen is

locked, the phone application opens in fullscreen format. If you receive an incoming

call when the screen is active, the incoming call is displayed as a floating notification,

that is, in a minimised window that floats at the top of whatever screen is open. When

such a notification arrives, you can choose to answer the call and open the phone

application screen, or you can reject the call and stay on the current screen.

To answer an incoming call when the screen is inactive

Drag to the right.

To answer an incoming call when the screen is active

In the floating notification that appears at the top of the screen, tap

ANSWER.

Instead of answering the call, you can go to the main phone application screen by tapping the

upper part of the floating notification window. Using this method, you get more options to

manage the call. For example, you can decide to reject the call with a message.

Rejecting a call with a text message

You can reject a call with a text message. When you reject a call with such a

message, the message is automatically sent to the caller and stored in the Messaging

conversation with the contact.
You can select from a number of predefined messages available on your device, or

you can create a new message. You can also create your own personalised

messages by editing the predefined ones.
