[Improvement] Why removed call answering/rejecting options with 1.0.7.16 update? Want it back.
Before the 1.0.7.16 update there are 3 options for "not answering a call" (the red side): Sound off, Reply with SMS, Dismiss call. Now I have only one: Ignore, and what this does is simply to turn off the sound. How can I get it fixed? I want it the way it was! Pretty please! Edit: Sorry, now I read through the release notes again and realized I obviously misunderstood this on first time reading the notes: "Quickly mute an incoming call simply by pulling up, reply and reject options are now shown after muting". So it's supposed to do this, but I really really don't like the new solution. I'd like to be able to dismiss a call immediately or reply with SMS, instead of now I need 2 steps to do it. Why has it been changed?? What was the point of this change??
I was happily using all the options for rejecting a call (swipe up red side) very often. This change is more work and backwards!
EDIT: I'd like zlatko's suggestion in the comment further down this page: "Flip device screen down to mute the call. Reject instead of Ignore in the pulley menu". Makes a lot more sense!
16.07.2014 EDIT: The described "wrong" behaviour of call UI still persists in 1.0.8.19
Is it possible to mute the phone / cancelling a phone call on putting the screen on a table just like it was possible with n900 ?

All I know is I was happily using all the options for rejecting a call (swipe up red side) very often. When someone called me at work and I was busy, I'd dismiss the call directly, or chose reply with SMS for the important ones. And when an annoying seller called I'd mute the call (without cutting it). And now I can only mute it first (ignore) and then choose what to do about the call. This function change is more work and doesn't make sense!
spacenewt ( 2014-06-12 23:39:16 +0200 )editAs I have learnt from comments to another suggestion, a lot of users seem to be afraid of accidentally selecting the wrong option from the pulley menu, so this might be the reason why the previous options have been replaced with a single menu item. I still don't get this argumentation, though. IMHO if a menu is not desired to have more than one menu item, it is obviously abused. If it is not a menu, don't use a menu.
