#Android phone: Human, a call is coming through!
Me: fumbles with phone
Phone: did you mean to pull down the notification shade?
Me: NOOOO!!!
Phone: Here are all of your notifications for you to peruse while listening to your ringtone becoming increasingly frantic!
Me: No, no, no! Just let me answer the phone!!! <swipes up frantically>
Phone: Yes, sir, I will let you scroll up to view more notifications! I know you certainly were not trying to dismiss the notification shade, considering how important that is at a time like this.
Me: NOOoOooOOooo!! Get away, let me answer the call! Ahhhhh!!!!

@rl_dane

Ew, answering calls? Why would you want to do that? 😳

@amin

Because I like to eat? Mira likes to eat? Keep the lights on? Stuff like that. XD

That's not to say I actually want to answer the phone. XD

@rl_dane

You need phone calls to eat?

@amin

Well, I generally should answer the phone if it's business-related. Yeah.

@rl_dane

Ahh, business related.

@drose

I don't remember it being as annoying on #iPhone, TBH. The phone call would always be at the very top of the notification shade (IIRC), and would be highlighted green or something.

At least on the #Android build I'm on, the phone call is either tiny, or just not listed in the notification shade at all. When you're on the lockscreen, you must get out of the notification shade to answer the phone.

When your phone is unlocked, you have to use the notification shade to get to the call (and it's not prominent!!), because opening the phone app JUST OPENS THE PHONE APP, and doesn't take you to your call at all.

It might just be an #AOSP thing or possibly just a #CalyxOS thing, I don't know.

I'll have to test it now, I'm curious.

@rl_dane I have tons of issues with the answering calls on my phone where I swipe and it does nothing. So dumb.

That sounds infinitely worse though.

@rl_dane Oh, my goodness, this struggle is very real! Especially when you go to your phone app and it just shows the dialer while it's still ringing so you have to dive back into the notifications again and by that time the war is lost.

Such basic usability and Android fails with flying colors!

@rl_dane @vwbusguy Absolutely,
